Chapter 71 Even If You Kill Me, I Won't Save Him
When they heard that, all three of them were floored.
Hayden and Linda bolted to the bedroom.
Violet couldn't believe it. "Really? She's actually cured?"
Sophia's condition was serious. If she was cured, it was nothing short of a miracle.
Fergus nodded with a grin. "Now you don't have to go back and marry that idiot."
"You're incredible!" Violet gave him a thumbs up, her eyes shining with admiration. She wanted to hug Fergus but held back, remembering her promise to her dad.
Violet smiled and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? You must be starving. Let's head back to Sky Palace, and I'll whip up some noodles for you!"
"Sure." Fergus smiled, took a few steps, then paused. "We need to wait a bit; I haven't gotten the money yet."
He was about to head back to the bedroom to collect the payment.
Violet pouted and smiled. "You asked for fifty billion dollars. Even if Hayden's the richest guy around, he can't pull that kind of cash out of thin air. Give him some time."
Fergus stopped, realizing she had a point. Not everyone could come up with that kind of money on the spot. "Alright, let's go!"
Five minutes after they left, Linda and Hayden rushed out. Seeing Fergus was already gone, they stood there, stunned.
"If we hadn't kicked Fergus out back then, what would have happened?" Linda's voice trembled, the regret hitting her hard.
Hayden slowly lowered his head. Only now did he realize his father's words were true. Fergus could ensure the Johnson family's enduring prosperity. Fergus might not have had a fancy background, but he had real talent!
Hayden gritted his teeth. "Don't worry, we still have a chance!"
Linda turned to him. "What do you mean?"
Hayden said firmly, "The Gray family will never accept Fergus. If they fail, our daughter can have a chance!"
At Phoenix Wellness Clinic, the top hospital in Tarynville.
A Rolls-Royce with a "Davenport" license plate pulled up outside.
Behind it were ten Hummers!
When the Rolls-Royce stopped, the ten Hummers' doors opened simultaneously, and forty men in black suits and sunglasses jumped out. They quickly cleared the hospital entrance, kicking out anyone who refused to leave.
They stood in two rows, stone-faced.
The Rolls-Royce door opened, and a middle-aged man in a black suit stepped out, his face grim and radiating a deadly aura.
This man was Thomas, the head of the Zimmerman family, the third-ranked family in Silvervale Province.
He was also John's father, Thomas!
Thomas stormed into the hospital with a dark expression and entered the ward.
"Dad, it hurts so much!" John cried when he saw Thomas.
John's body was covered in plaster, looking like a stone man.
Seeing this, Thomas's eyes filled with rage, and he roared, "Fergus, you're dead! I'll tear you to pieces with my own hands!"
He had already heard about John's condition on the way, but seeing it with his own eyes made him furious!
Hearing John's and Thomas' roar, Logan, Tyler, and Marlin, standing nearby, lowered their heads in fear, awed by the powerful aura of the Zimmerman family head.
Marlin was also there. He had an illegitimate child outside and now only wanted revenge.
"Dad, I want to kill Fergus right now, right now!" John cried, but before he could finish, his eyes went blank, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
The machines started beeping with alarms.
"John!" Thomas panicked and rushed forward.
"Mr. John Zimmerman!"
"Mr. John Zimmerman!"
"Doctor, get a doctor!"
Logan and the others shouted.
The doctor quickly rushed into the ward and pushed John into the emergency room.
In less than five minutes, the doctor came out looking frantic. "Mr. Thomas Zimmerman, Mr. John Zimmerman's leg artery has ruptured, and he's lost too much blood. I'm afraid we can't save him."
Hearing this, Logan turned pale. They didn't know Thomas well, but they had clung to John tonight. If John died, how could they get their revenge?
Thomas slapped the doctor to the ground and roared, "You quack! Get in there and save him! If anything happens to my son, everyone in this hospital will be buried with him!"
As the head of the third-ranked family in the province, he indeed had that power.
Hearing this, the doctor scrambled to his feet and rushed back into the emergency room.
Logan's eyes darted around, and he said, "Mr. Norris, you run a pharmaceutical company. You have many medical doctors. Get them here to save Mr. John Zimmerman, quickly, don't waste time!"
Marlin was stunned. If John died, he couldn't get his revenge. But if his people came and couldn't save John, they would be buried with him.
Tyler also understood Logan's intention to use Marlin as a scapegoat.
Anxiously, he said, "Marlin, I've heard Oliver say that your company has many medical doctors. Get them here quickly. Mr. John Zimmerman's life is more important than anything!"
Marlin wanted to kill them both.
Reluctantly, he said, "They are researchers, not doctors, so..."
"Get them here!" Thomas interrupted roughly, "Immediately, as fast as possible. If I don't see them in five minutes, I'll kill you!"
Marlin shivered in fear and quickly made the call.
After hanging up, he sneered. "Mr. Shaw, I remember you have a good relationship with the witch doctor David from Tarynville. Get him here too. He might have a miraculous cure. Hurry up and get David here!"
Logan was also stunned. He did know David but wasn't close to him, having only consulted him once.
Before Logan could respond, Thomas roared, "If he's not here in five minutes, I'll kill you!"
Logan was furious but didn't dare delay. He quickly sent someone to get David.
Three minutes later, David was brought over by two men. He had just returned to his clinic from Westside Manor and hadn't even closed the door when he was taken.
"Logan, what is this? Are you kidnapping me?" David shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Logan quickly ran over and scolded, "Let go, let go! I told you to invite David, not kidnap him!"
Logan bent slightly and said obsequiously, "David, Mr. John Zimmerman from the State Capital is losing a lot of blood and is in the emergency room. Do you have any good ideas? Please, help us!"
If David couldn't save him, Logan would also be buried with him. He was sweating profusely and spoke sincerely.
"No!" David raised his chin and firmly said, "I can't help. I'm tired and need to rest!"
He had heard about tonight's events and naturally wouldn't save Fergus' enemy.
Thomas quickly walked over, full of anger. He grabbed David by the collar and said coldly, "I don't care if you can or can't. Get in there and save him. If you don't, I'll kill you right now!"
Logan and Tyler turned pale with fear. If he killed David, would he kill them too?
David wasn't afraid at all. He stared into Thomas' eyes and said resolutely, "Even if you kill me, I won't save him!"
