When he met Jade Benmore again, it was no longer in the previous conference room but in a ward.
After the pants on Jade’s injury had been torn off, she had not put on something else. At this moment, it was placed on the bed and displayed in front of Alex.
When Alex saw the leg, he was stunned.
‘A pure black man’s leg was not a big deal, right?’
If he had not taken a closer look, the leg would have looked like burnt charcoal.
Jade looked at Alex and said, “I’ve hit you just now, but I won’t apologize for it because you deserved to be beaten!”
Alex touched his nose.
The woman was already in such a state, yet she was still so headstrong. It could be imagined that she would be even more headstrong when her leg was fine.
“It’s okay. The truth will speak for itself.” Alex said.
Jade’s eyebrows twitched. “Are you still unwilling to submit? Let me tell you then, Luna Flores is my niece, and her father has saved my life three times. Now you’re two-timing someone. How is that reasonable?”
Just then, Nora at the side whispered something in Jade’s ear.
Jade’s beautiful eyes immediately widened. “Really?”
Nora said with a smile, “She has a personality of a little devil. It’s tough to tell, mainly because she’s not interested in that man.”
Alex looked at Nora with gratitude. It seemed that the little bribery earlier had worked wonders.
Half an hour ago, not only did Alex find out Nora’s age and her relationship problem with men, but he discovered an embarrassing illness as well. He even promised her that he would cure her within a week.
At this moment, Jade did not talk about Luna’s matter anymore after hearing Nora’s words. Instead, she asked, “What do you think of my leg? As long as you can cure it, the reward for you won’t be less.”
Alex said, “Commander Benmore, you serve the nation and its people. You’ve filled me with deep respect. I have to cure you. There’s no need to mention the reward!”
“Fine, then I won’t give it to you.”
“…”
In other words, Jade needed to expose the dark parts fully. This was a norm as well.
If the doctor did not take a look at it, how would he cure her?
As Jade waved her hand, Nora walked out of the room and casually closed the door.
Jade readily took off the entire pants, wearing only the underwear. Comparing both legs, one leg was as dark as charcoal, whereas the other was as fair as a floodlight. There was a distinct black and white line of demarcation and even a wave of fluctuating energy near the hip on her injured leg.
Clearly, Jade had controlled the toxin up to this position.
Alex stretched his arm to touch her injured leg and found that it was very hard. It felt as if he was handling a stone. He then touched her intact leg again. This one was normal with a smooth and elastic tactile sensation.
“How does it feel?”
“You’ve taken a look and touched it now. If you can’t cure it, I might gouge your eyes.”
Alex grunted with an ‘ah!’ in response.
