Chapter 593

“I’ve seen your medical skills, Hugo. While you’re not bad, you’re nowhere near my level.

Do you really expect me to believe that only you can cure this illness?” Pearl naturally

didn’t buy into Hugo’s claims. If this disease could only be treated by him, it would imply

that all the great doctors worldwide were merely his followers.

“Believe it or not, this illness is quite unique. Currently, I’m the only one who possesses

the knowledge to treat it.” Hugo wore a confident smile, adding, “Otherwise, why would

your grandfather have only invited me to help treat your mother?”

A shiver ran down Pearl’s spine. She had to admit that Hugo had a valid argument.

“Nevertheless, whether she receives treatment and when is entirely up to me.” Hugo took

a step closer, a smug smile on his face as he loomed over Pearl. “If you ever cross me, I

can’t guarantee your mother’s survival.”

Pearl stood her ground, crossing her arms, showing no signs of vulnerability. “If you can’t

cure it, you won’t just offend me. You’ll have the entire Jordan family to contend with. Why

bother making threats like this?

To her surprise, Hugo didn’t seem afraid at all. Instead, he burst into wild laughter,

sounding somewhat deranged. “Do you think I’m afraid of death in my current state? You

and Richard teamed up to make me like this. What have I got left to fear?”

“What about Jenny? Have you stopped caring about her too?”

At the mention of this name, Hugo’s eyes narrowed. “You’re not even worthy to mention

her

ΠΑΠΑ

Pearl sneered, “Honestly, you’re just Jenny’s puppet. What do you gain from being so

blindly devoted to her?”

These words sent Hugo into a fury. He advanced, firmly gripping Pearl’s throat. “I told you.

You’re not worthy of mentioning her name. I assure you that you won’t survive if you dare

slander her again.”

Pearl was nearly choked, gasping for air. She coughed repeatedly, her face turning

crimson.

After all, they were still within the Jordan Residence, so Hugo couldn’t take things too far.

He released his grip on Pearl when he saw her in distress.

Pearl fell to the ground due to the force.

Starting today, if you ever dare to lay a finger on Jenny again, I won’t show you any

mercy.” His gaze drifted downward, noticing Pearl’s slightly disheveled attire. Suddenly, he

froze.” How…. How do you have a birthmark that resembles a pear blossom on your

chest?”

“You’re insane, Hugo!” Pearl looked up, shooting an enraged glare at Hugo Quickly, she

rearranged her clothing, preparing to stand up.

However, Hugo crouched down, forcefully pulling open her neckline to examine the

birthmark on her chest.

Pearl realized his intent and slapped him across the face. “Are you out of your mind?!”

Even this slap failed to snap Hugo back to his senses. He gazed up at Pearl’s furious

countenance, his voice quivering. “Did you come to Enswood eight years ago?”

Initially, Pearl thought he was attempting to humiliate her, but seeing his serious

expression while inquiring about that memory lessened her anger somewhat.

“So what if I did? And what if I didn’t?”

“Tell me. Did you come to Enswood or not?” Hugo grew more agitated, and his tone

became significantly more intense.

“Yeah.” Pearl nodded, recalling, “Yes, I did. I was planning to study abroad so I visited

Enswood…”

“Did you save a chubby little boy under an old locust tree on the outskirts of the city?”
