Instantly, sweat began beading on Zyaire's forehead. He swiftly turned to Jared, wanting to explain to the latter, but Jared gave him a look that stopped him. Jared was sure that Zyaire would not dare to pocket any money for himself, so Stieg had to be bluffing.
Furthermore, Jared himself did not know that his revitalizing pills could cure hysteria. Stieg was lying through his teeth. Although the revitalizing pills could energize a person and strengthen their body, they could not force a spirit out of a human body.
Nevertheless, Jared did not expose Stieg right away. He was going to wait —he wanted to wait until Stieg had made a fool of himself. Once the Sabines realized that Stieg was useless, they would naturally come to ask for his help.
Knowing what Stieg meant, Frazier promptly said, “Dr. Jeppesen, the Sabine family will be the one to bear the expense of the pill. We won't have you bear it...”
“Mr. Frazier, you’re too courteous. That's not what I meant. It's just a few million; it's not a lot.”
Stieg smiled and waved his hand before giving Ludovic the revitalizing pill. “Give it to your father. I'm sure he'll recover soon.”
Ludovic thanked him profusely before taking the pill from him carefully. Then, he rushed to the back of the house.
The Sabines waited anxiously, hoping that the revitalizing pill would be useful.
Dozens of minutes later, Ludovic ran back, beaming.
“Ludo, how's your dad?” Ludovic's mother asked.
“Mom, Dr. Jeppesen's revitalizing pill really works! After Dad ate it, he stopped shouting and even called my name! He can recognize me now!” Ludovic exclaimed.
“Is that so? That's great news! I must see him now!” Ludovic's mother said before turning to head to Ewan's room.
