Jace laughed in anger and looked at Howard like he was looking at an idiot.

“Grandpa, are you toying with me? You even found this idiot to fool me. I think you actually can’t wait for me to die instead!”

Jace thought that his grandfather really found a Sage Doctor, but unexpectedly it turned out to be this loser Augustus Cross!

He was feeling indignant and resentful!

Howard was stunned and asked, “What’s going on? You know Mr. Cross?”

Jace put on a disdainful expression. “Not only do I know him, but we’re also really close with each other. He’s been p*ss poor since he was a kid and had to leave university because he didn’t even have the money. Trash like him isn’t even worth carrying my shoes! You even invited him here to treat me. I think you must have gone senile!”

“Shut your mouth. How could you talk to your grandfather like that?!”

Derrick admonished Jace, but he looked at Howard with complaining eyes.

“Dad, I’m not trying to blame you, but just who did you bring to us?”

The man in front of him was in his thirties at most. How could someone of his age have any great abilities?

“That’s right, if he’s a poor man who couldn’t even complete university, what kind of doctor could he be? Dad, Jace is your grandson, but you brought in a random person to muddle things up. You’re too irresponsible!”

Joceline also showed undisguised contempt for Augustus.

“Looks like you don’t need me here. In that case, I’ll take my leave!”

Augustus snorted coldly and turned to leave.

“Yeah, get the f*ck out! Don’t let me see you again, or I’ll beat you up again!”

“Shut your mouth!”

Howard was so angry that his body shook. Then, he kneeled in front of Augustus.

“Mr. Cross, they offended you because I didn’t discipline them properly. Please forgive them! Please wait in the living room for now while I talk to them. Please!”

Augustus sighed and went to the living room.

If not for Howard’s sake, Augustus really could not care less about Jace’s life or death.

Ten minutes later, Howard reinvited Augustus back to the makeshift ward in the room.

Earlier, Augustus already told Jace and the others of how Augustus saved Clara Jones yesterday, and the family was somewhat convinced that Augustus had some medical skills.

However, that was all.

“For Grandpa’s sake, I’ll give you a chance. Don’t worry, if you cure me, we won’t try to shortchange you!”

Jace raised his chin and said with an arrogant face.

Joceline also warned coldly, “We can pay you for this, but you better be careful. Jace is the heir of the Zander family and is worth his weight in gold. If something goes wrong when you’re curing him, I’ll never let you off!”

Augustus let out a laugh in anger. He was here to save Jace’s life, but now it was as if he owed them this favor.

He was not that cheap!

“Since the lives of your family are so valuable, then carry on. Goodbye!”

Augustus turned to leave.

This time, the Zander family became truly anxious.

After all, according to Howard’s words, Alex was the only one who could save Jace’s life. If he left, then Jace would really have to wait for death!

Derrick blocked Augustus’s path. “Wait, as long as you cure Jace’s illness, I’ll give you 20 million! If that’s not enough, we can still negotiate!”

Augustus sneered. “Do you think that you can buy anything as long as you have money?”

“Augustus, what the hell do you want?”

Jace sat up on his bed in anger.

Augustus looked at him coldly. “It’s simple. I want you to beg me the same way I begged you yesterday.”

To be honest, Augustus did not intend to be vengeful at first, but Jace and his family’s attitude changed his mind!

“F*ck you! You’re not worthy to make me kneel and prostrate to you!”

Jace exploded like a volcano and roared madly.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he coughed violently again.

This time, he coughed out crimson blood that instantly stained the quilt red.

“Jace!”

Derrick and Joceline were terrified.

Jace was also frightened and burst into tears. “I don’t wanna die! I don’t wanna die! Aaaaaah…”

Augustus looked at him calmly and said indifferently, “The toxin in your body has already spread to your lungs. You can live for another ten days at most.”

At those words, Jace cried in fear.

Derrick and Joceline also cried, their hearts burning with anxiety.

It was Howard who saw through the situation and pulled Jace’s ear, dragging him to the ground.

“You useless thing, hurry up and kneel to Mr. Cross! Do you really want to die?”
