Chapter 774 A Catalyst

Seeing how Alex had paused mid-sentence, panic surged within David's mind. He sprang up from his seat and asked anxiously, "Dr. Jefferson, is there no way to cure me?"

Frowning. Alex replied, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy to treat you. A simple disinfection procedure won't be enough to resolve the issue because you've consumed the concoction others made you Those had accelerated the rotting of your genitals."

"If that's the case, can you do anything about it, Dr. Jefferson?" David asked once Alex finished explaining the cause and effect of his situation.

"There's still something I can do, but-" Alex paused halfway through his orated speech.

"What is it, Dr. Jefferson?"

"I'm afraid you're going to give up halfway through our treatment."

"You don't have to worry about that, Dr. Jefferson! As long as you can heal me, I'll brace myself through whatever treatment you have planned for me!" David announced with a determined look. Having this condition is already making me wish for death. I'll do whatever it takes as long as I can do something to stop it from rotting!

Alex said, "If that's the case, get me a pen a few pieces of paper."

A member of the Leighton family returned with the things Alex needed after a few minutes.

Alex listed out twenty herbs that don't have any effect on David's condition. The only thing those herbs had in common was their flavor.

They were all extremely bitter herbs. No ordinary people could consume those without retching, let alone a concoction made out of twenty of those.

After Alex listed out the herbs he needed, he handed Nicholas the list and instructed, "I need you to get me these as soon as possible. It should be easy for you since your family is in the pharmaceutical business."

Indeed, Nicholas thought it wasn't much of a challenge to gather the herbs Alex needed since those were nothing more than ordinary herbs.

"Dr. Jefferson, I'll gather and return with these in a short while!" he reassured Alex and sent someone to gather the required herbs.

Once the herbs were ready, the essence of the herbs would be extracted until there was merely a bowl of concoction left for the patient's consumption.

Meanwhile, Callum was in bad shape because David's men had no reason to show him any mercy.

He was bruised everywhere. In fact, he couldn't even walk without support. As a result, someone had to take him to the hall with a stretcher.

Callum was almost rushed to the hospital due to the injuries he had sustained. However, he insisted on staying there because he wanted to see for himself if Alex could heal David. He was determined to take Alex out if the man couldn't honor his promises.

The ones in the hall dismissed Callum's presence and had their eyes glued to the list Alex handed. Nicholas.

David felt a sense of relief as soon as the members of the Leighton family started preparing the concoction. He asked in another attempt to alleviate his doubts, "Are you sure that's all it takes to heal me?" Shaking his head, Alex remarked in a callous tone, "I'm afraid that's not enough because we need a catalyst to stimulate the essence of the herbs."

Hearing that, a look of confusion was etched on everyone's faces as they wondered what exactly was the catalyst that he needed for the treatment. Anxious, David couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Jefferson, what sort of catalyst do you need?"

"It's something that everyone has-feces!"
