Chapter 375

Andrew’s voice turned cold as he said, “You old pervert, you don’t even realize you’re terminally ill. If you don’t get the right treatment within three days, you’d better start picking out your coffin.”

Ernest scoffed. “Are you trying to intimidate me? You probably don’t know that I’ve trained in martial arts since childhood – my muscles are harder than steel. Terminally ill? You must be out of your mind.”

Andrew replied calmly, “Believe it or not, in three days, you’ll be suffering horrible pain, wishing you were actually dead.”

Natasha caught on quickly and chimed in, “Ernest, you might not know this, but Mr. Lloyd is a doctor. If he says something’s wrong with your health, there must be a serious issue. You should probably hear him out – what’s the harm in that?”

Ernest seemed to have wavered. He had initially dismissed Andrew’s words as nonsense, but besides his greed, womanizing, and vanity, Ernest had one other defining trait – he was terrified of death.

At the slightest health concern, he would spare no expense on treatment, believing that as long as he stayed healthy, he could continue living his luxurious lifestyle.

Ernest reluctantly conceded, “Hmph, although I still don’t buy what you’re saying, kid, I’ll give you one chance. Tell me what’s wrong with my health.”

Andrew explained, “From my initial observation, your complexion shows signs of impending disaster. As for the specific illness, I’ll need to examine you to be certain.”

Ernest frowned, growing more concerned. He grumbled, “Fine, examine me then. But don’t think I’ll believe your nonsense without proof.”

Andrew responded calmly, “Ernest, I’m offering to examine you for free. What do you have to lose?”

Ernest grunted and gestured for Andrew to proceed.

Andrew stepped forward, checked his pulse, and shook his head gravely. “This is bad. You have a severe illness. You don’t have much time left.”

Ernest’s forehead twitched, but he remained silent as cold fear crept into his heart.

Andrew continued, “I’m going to check a few vital points on your body using therapeutic massage. Bear with me.”

Without waiting for a response, he quickly pressed several points on Ernest’s body.

Natasha played along, her eyes twinkling with amusement. “Mr. Lloyd, is Ernest’s condition really as serious as you say?”

Andrew replied solemnly, “It’s worse than I thought. Ernest’s condition…”

Seeing Andrew’s hesitation and apparent concern, Ernest could not help but burst out, “Kid, why are you sighing? Just tell me straight what’s wrong!”

Andrew looked at him intently and said, “Ernest, my initial observation showed you were dying, but after this examination, I’m certain you don’t have much time left. You should return to Blumedale and notify your family.”

Cold sweat broke out on Ernest’s face as his thick lips trembled. “Notify them about what? Just spit it out!!”

Andrew sighed again and said, “To prepare for your funeral arrangements, of course.”
