Chapter 3: An easy task to complete
“The situation is not optimistic,” the middle-aged doctor said, looking at the medical data in his hands with a peculiar expression. “The progressive muscular atrophy has reached its late stages. A sudden stimulus has caused a rapid deterioration. Currently, he is still conscious but has completely lost control over his muscles, rendering him unable to move or speak.”
“Why, he was just fine a moment ago, why suddenly...” Scarlett supported her forehead with one hand, her eyes filled with self-blame.
They were just having a cheerful meal, and then suddenly he became paralyzed.
Even though she had been mentally prepared for the worsening of his condition, the guilt still haunted her like a nightmare.
Scarlett showed a vulnerable and helpless side.
The middle-aged doctor glanced at her graceful figure from the corner of his eye. He occasionally encountered attractive relatives of patients, but it was rare to see someone with such an exceptional figure and beauty.
His gaze quickly swept over Ethan’s medical records, a flash of greed in his eyes. He quickly adjusted his glasses to hide his desire. “There is some good news, though.”
Scarlett, still immersed in self-blame, looked up at the doctor with her enchanting, reddened eyes.
“While we were resuscitating him, we found that part of his musculature was abnormally active,” the doctor said, his eyes showing a hint of envy. “According to our measurements, the strength of these muscles far exceeds that of an average person, and they remained active throughout the resuscitation process. This is the first time we’ve observed this since he’s been hospitalized. Has he always been like this?”
“Ah?” Scarlett was startled, her expression turning odd as if trying to recall something. She remembered bathing Ethan when he was very young, but his dick seemed normal back then. The doctor’s claim that it was far beyond normal seemed exaggerated.
“I’m sorry, I’m not aware of that.”
“If some muscles can recover, then there remains a possibility for a miracle...” the middle-aged doctor said, his gaze once again landing on Scarlett’s delicate face. “Given the uniqueness, I can apply for him to undergo special treatment, which could waive most of the medical costs.”
He saw hope appear on Scarlett’s face, his lips curling up as he put down the report, his gaze unabashedly roaming over Scarlett:
“But such slots are extremely limited.”
He stared intently at Scarlett, his eyes almost smiling.
Scarlett’s expression froze.
Being a beautiful single mother, she was all too familiar with such gazes and immediately understood what he wanted. She lifted her head:
“Dr. David... do you want me to be your woman in exchange for saving Ethan?”V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).co/m for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
Meanwhile.
Ethan slowly opened his eyes. The white ceiling was familiar—it was the same hospital room. He lay on the hospital bed, alone.
“Strange, where’s Aunt?”
His memories before losing consciousness rushed back. He had activated the health gift pack provided by the system.
But it hadn’t treated his muscular atrophy or heart disease, just some of his muscles.
Although it was embarrassing, in the face of life and death, he had long thrown his scruples to the wind.
Aunt would surely cooperate.
Because she was that kind of gentle, kind woman who wouldn’t refuse him.
He must recover quickly,otherwise, with Aunt’s nature, she was likely to suffer.
The system panel closed.
Ethan tried to call out to Aunt to complete the task, but his mouth seemed to have lost control, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t speak.
“?” Ethan panicked, trying to lift his head, but his fingers felt like they weighed thousands of pounds. Despite all his effort, they only trembled slightly: “What... what’s happening to me, it can’t be...”
His eyes bulged as if they were about to burst from their sockets.
With all his strength, his body finally responded slightly.
In the doctor’s office.
“Dr. David, is it enough if I become your woman?” Scarlett’s alluring, slender eyes mixed with pleading and hope.
She was like a drowning person clutching at a straw, ready to risk everything to hold on tightly.
“Ah...” Dr. David was momentarily stunned. He had wanted to sleep with this stunning beauty, but such matters couldn’t be stated too explicitly, as it was easy to leave evidence.
“How long.” Scarlett’s eyes were sorrowful, the mature beauty touching and moving. She leaned slightly forward: “How many times do I have to sleep with you before you’re willing to save Ethan?”
“Gulp.” Dr. David swallowed his saliva. The thought of making love to such a beautiful woman made him hot all over, his reason replaced by desire as he looked at her graceful figure:
“One year, be my lover for a year, and I guarantee a slot for Ethan’s special treatment.”
“Okay.” Scarlett reached into her handbag.
Dr. David was excited, thinking this woman carried it with her?
It seemed she wasn’t such a good woman after all, but being so beautiful and seductive, it didn’t matter.
The next second, he saw Scarlett pull out a spray bottle and aim it at his eyes.
Dr. David’s mind froze for a moment, and then a blinding pain struck him. He clutched his face and screamed, “Ah?!!”
Scarlett’s expression was ice-cold as she picked up the ashtray from the desk, raised it high, and with a dull thud, smashed it down on the back of his head.
