Loving Mom 219
Chapter 219
Uriah glanced at Carter, his voice low and deliberate. “You… you’ve got the biggest problem of the three of you today. By far.”
He gestured toward the chair. “Sit. Let me check-see just how deep this runs.”
Carter looked over at Nate.
Nate rubbed the back of his head, awkward and uneasy. He could tell what Carter was thinking.
They’d all heard the rumors-this old man was supposed to be some legendary doctor, a true miracle worker. Nate had spent a fortune and months of effort tracking him down.
But now? He couldn’t even tell who had the terminal illness? What if he was just a scam artist?
Kelly, listening quietly, felt a sudden flicker of hope rise in her chest.
So the old man was a fraud.
Perfect.
Frauds wanted money. And money made them easy to control.
She could play along, take whatever medicine he gave her, pretend to follow treatment for a few months, and then declare she was miraculously cured..
Problem solved.
She’d been worrying about how to fake a recovery without raising suspicion-this was the answer, served up on a silver platter.
Carter took a seat in front of the old man.
Nate narrowed his eyes, watching closely.
If this fraud dared to claim that Carter was the one with the terminal illness, Nate swore he’d destroy the old man’s reputation on the spot. He’d smear “Con Artist” across his face and drag him through the streets.
But Uriah just sighed, shaking his head slowly.
“Ay… never would’ve guessed. Young as you are, you’ve already got something incurable. What a pity. What a shame…”
Nate’s eyes went wide.
No way. He really was a con artist!
