The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

Chapter 40

“This feels amazing!” Gerald exclaimed as he strode up to Frank and bowed. “Mr. Lawrence, I apologize for being as short–sighted as I had been in the past. I have truly done you an insult.”

“It’s no issue, Mr. Simmons,” Frank replied evenly. “I’m simply doing my duty as a healer.”

“Wisdom and magnanimity–you are a shining example of your generation,” Gerald laughed heartily and whipped out a debit card. “There’s five million in here–consider it a little gift from yours truly.”

Frank shook his head. “Mr. Zimmer has covered your payment.”

Hearing his name mentioned, Dan flashed an awkward smile. “I’m afraid my shortcomings almost hurt Gerald. We’re lucky you’re with us, Mr. Lawrence!”

He was suddenly thrilled–he was thinking he could emulate whatever technique Frank would use to treat Gerald, only for the man to achieve what he could not with just a pill.

What sort of miracle pill was that?!

It was not just him either – Kenny and Norman were getting curious as well, and their gaze almost seemed ablaze.

Should that pill enter mass production, they would make a fortune!

Just then, Gerald waved Dan off. “No, Dan. I wouldn’t be here if not for you.”

Then, turning back to Frank, “Mr. Lawrence, I am now in your debt. Just come to me should you need anything–I’ll do my best to accomplish it within my means.”

Frank nodded.

They made some small talk after, and Frank turned down Gerald’s invitation to a banquet.

Still, before everyone left, Kenny asked the question that nagged him the most. “Mr. Lawrence, is there a name for the pill you used?”

“The Ichor Pill,” Frank replied.

“And the recipe?” Norman asked in turn.

Frank suddenly frowned, his gaze wary.

Norman promptly explained, “Oh, please don’t misunderstand. I just think that it was a wondrous elixir that would help the people if it could be mass produced.”

“It’s a secret recipe–a family legacy,” Frank said. “I must ask you not to pry.”
