Chapter 2265
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âBring him here right now,â Fred said in a lowered voice.
âHe refused to come with us, sir.
We canât force him, or he might call the police.â As they had already attracted enough attention, they could not risk it as the miracle doctor was well-known.
Besides, they could not enter his estate.
They had asked to see him, but he turned them down.
The only thing they could do was wait in the car and call Fred for further instructions.
Suppressing the urge to curse, Fred said grimly, âWhat does he want? Tell him to name a price.â âNo, Your Grace.
He doesnât care for money.â They were at their witsâ end.
As they were not in Yudonia, they could not do as they pleased.
âNo one ever says no to money!â Palming his forehead in frustration, Fred shouted, âMake him an offer he canât refuse! Iâm sure heâll say yes once we offer him enough.â Just as he was about to hang up, he had a second thought.
âNever mind.
Iâll go there right now.â He thought perhaps it was better if he took charge in this matter.
Fred got someone to drive him to the estate.
On his way, he had his men look into the physicianâs background and send their findings to his phone.
When he was almost there, he finished reading the information and narrowed his eyes.
His men were waiting for him outside the estate when he arrived.
They got out of the car and greeted, âYour Grace.â âYou guys are supposed to lay low.â Holding up a hand to stop them, he glanced toward the estate.
âHas anyone left the place?â âYes, Your Grace,â one answered, âBased on what weâve found, they go out for supplies once a week.
Sometimes, they have essentials delivered to them instead of going out to buy them .â âHeâs a recluse, all right.â Fred snorted.
âBut even a hermit has a weakness.
Stay here.
Iâll go meet him.â Fred approached the gatekeeper, who went inside to pass on his message.
Soon, someone came out to let him in, but only him.
His bodyguards wanted to follow, but Fred stopped them.âItâs okay.
What can he do to me?â Knowing that the physician was an old man, he was not worried.
Besides, he only came to engage the physicianâs services.
Fred entered the estate alone and was led by a servant to a gazebo instead of the main hall.
An old man was brewing some medicine there, and the courtyard was filled with the scent of herbs.
