Chapter 964
As the Callahans attempted to dissuade Thea, she waved away their concerns and spoke with conviction, "Don’t worry, guys.I’ll be fine.James will be here soon.I just need to stall for some time."
She tried her best to convince them that she was fine and took out her phone once again to get an update from James.
"Honey, are you still stuck in traffic?"
James’ voice was slightly agitated as he answered the phone.
"I just got out of the car.The road is completely blocked.I'll have to walk to somewhere traffic- free and find another ride.I should arrive in another thirty minutes.What's the situation on your side?"
"I've agreed to Jonathan’s challenge.The rules are the same as the last medical conference..."
Thea explained the situation to James.
"You fool!"
James reprimanded her, "Don't you know who Jonathan is? His medical skills are one of the best in this world.Even Jay couldn’t hold a candle against him! How in the world are you confident that you won’t end up dead after you do this? I know you’re trying to buy some time but this is too reckless!"
"Don’t worry, Honey.I can use True Energy to suppress the poison," Thea said in a hushed tone.
She was trying to be careful not to reveal her hidden weapon to the enemy.
"That still doesn’t make it okay! Just wait for me and don’t do anything stupid! I’m coming as fast as I can!"
James hung up and started running.
Meanwhile, on Medical Street...
Jonathan swiftly prepared the poison.
In just ten minutes, he had already finished concocting his poison.
Due to the limited herbs available, he could not concoct an incurable poison.
However, he believed it would be more than enough to take down Thea, who lacked medical skills.
After completing his poison, he looked at Thea with a sarcastic grin.
"Why haven’t you started, Thea?"
Thea answered him frostily, "I don’t need to prepare a poison.Wouldn’t it be my victory if I consumed your poison and managed to neutralize it? In that case, do you and your men agree to leave Century Hospital alone if I win?"
"Yes," Jonathan said wryly, "If you’re somehow able to neutralize it, then I will accept it as my loss.Naturally, I'll leave with my people and no longer pester Century Hospital."
"Alright.Hand it over then."
Thea stretched out her hand.
Jonathan handed over his poison in the form of fine powder.
Thea poured a glass of water and sprinkled the poison into the water without any hesitation.
The clear water immediately turned pitch black the moment it came into contact with the powder.
