Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Do you also want to have a child?

A few minutes later, Samuel Chalmers’ driver walked out of the elevator and directly approached Samuel.

“Mr. Chalmers.”

Samuel gestured toward Lydia Patterson.

“He’s injured. Take him back to the Patterson family and inform his parents to keep an eye on him.”

The driver nodded at the words, not asking any questions, and turned to Lydia. Without a word, he grabbed Lydia’s arm and effortlessly but firmly took him away.

The whole process didn’t even take three minutes.

Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but look at Samuel Chalmers until Lydia was dragged into the elevator and taken away.

This is what you meant by not wasting Spiritual Power??

Samuel glanced sideways, slightly pulling the corner of his lips, noncommittally.

The girl named Jessamine Lloyd watched Lydia get taken away with her own eyes, and for a moment, her gaze at Scarlett and Samuel was filled with fear.

“Who… who exactly are you? What do you want from me?”

Scarlett saw this and directly explained her intention to the other party.

“Don’t be afraid; I’m here today mainly to ask you about someone.”

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the girl’s flat abdomen.

“The person who sold you the Secret Medicine and promised you could have a child.”

Upon hearing Scarlett’s words, Jessamine instinctively covered her abdomen, and her face couldn’t help but show some vigilance.

“Why are you looking for him?”

As she spoke, her gaze suddenly shifted from Scarlett and Samuel, and then as if she suddenly realized.

“You also want a child?”

Scarlett Jennings, Samuel Chalmers: …

“Ahem, we’re not trying to have a child.”

Scarlett awkwardly explained, and then added,

“I just want to know if the person came to you again after you confirmed your pregnancy.”

“How do you know he came to see me?”

Jessamine was slightly surprised, but she quickly said, “But you came too late. He was here yesterday and left.”

It was only because he came that she knew she was truly successfully pregnant, which is why she sought Lydia to take responsibility.

Jessamine originally thought things would go smoothly, but she didn’t expect Lydia to be so ruthless.

Scarlett frowned slightly upon hearing that the Demon had already visited.

Because she didn’t sense any Demon Energy from Jessamine, indicating the other party probably used some method to conceal it.

This made it difficult to track him down again.

“Do you have any contact information for him? Or did he mention any other clients to you?”

Jessamine shook her head at the words,

“I was introduced to him by chance through my cousin. My cousin is from the Capital Metropolitan.”

Her cousin is a nurse at the Capital Metropolitan’s hospital and was the first to know about the pregnant women using the Secret Medicine. Otherwise, she wouldn’t dare to believe such a shady medicine so recklessly.

Hearing Jessamine say she had no contact information, Scarlett’s expression showed a bit of seriousness.

Maybe seeing her overly serious expression and the handsome man beside her constantly watching with concern, Jessamine felt she understood something.

Suddenly, she showed a slightly mysterious look and leaned closer to Scarlett.

“Actually, I saved half of the medicine he sold me. Do you want it?”

Although, judging by their earlier actions, they clearly weren’t ordinary people, she didn’t think about the seller being a Mystical Creature.

She just simply thought they might be a man and a woman who kept asking about the medicine, so it must be because they want a child.

Maybe it’s like her, urgently needing a child to bind the other party.

Scarlett’s eyes brightened upon hearing she actually saved half of the medicine,

“You saved it?”

Jessamine nodded,

“It’s a product without any proper documentation, and I was afraid it might be harmful, so I took it on a trial basis and just ate half of it.

But don’t worry, even with only half, the effect is significant, isn’t it? Just look, I got pregnant.”

To reassure Scarlett about the efficacy, she even used herself as an example.

Scarlett wasn’t concerned about this, she just asked her, “Where is the medicine, I’ll buy it.”

Jessamine heard her straightforwardness, her gaze swept over them, and, seeing their high-quality clothing, she rolled her eyes and directly quoted a price.

“Alright, I’ll sell it to you for thirty thousand!”

Samuel heard it only cost thirty thousand, reaching for his phone to make a transfer, just as he was about to move, his arm was unexpectedly held by the person next to him.

Scarlett looked at Jessamine, expressionless, and negotiated the price,

“Three hundred.”

Jessamine shot up and complained loudly, “Who taught you to bargain like that?! Three hundred is definitely not enough!”

Scarlett remained calm,

“If you don’t sell it to me, I still have other ways to find that person, it’ll just take some effort, so the final offer is three hundred.”

“No way! At least ten thousand!”

“Two hundred, take it or leave it.”

“Two hundred?!”

Jessamine almost exploded, impulsively blurting out, “I bought one pill for five hundred?! Two hundred doesn’t even cover the cost!”

Scarlett looked languidly at her, “Then let’s make it two hundred and fifty.”

Jessamine regretted letting slip her words and finally gritted her teeth, “Three hundred it is! Take it or leave it.”

Scarlett smiled and took out her phone.

“Alright, let’s make it a mobile transfer.”

Jessamine: …

Cursing under her breath, she got up and went to get the medicine.

Samuel watched quietly throughout, witnessing her drop the price from thirty thousand to three hundred. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say, he just silently raised his hand and gave her a thumbs up.

Scarlett couldn’t help but laugh.

Soon, Jessamine brought out a small transparent plastic bottle containing half a round pill looking like a chocolate.

“Is this the half pill?”

“Yes, it looks a bit like chocolate, but the taste isn’t very good.”

The mention of chocolate seemed to spark something fleeting in Scarlett’s mind.

Without thinking further, she took the bottle and poured the half-pill into her palm, faintly sensing a trace of Demon Energy within.

To her surprise, the Demon Energy within the pill seemed to be from two different sources.

What was going on?

Without probing further, Scarlett put the pill back in the bottle and bade farewell to Jessamine.

She considered it for a moment and decided to inform Jessamine that the medicine was possibly made by a Demon.

Although, judging by her appearance, the child within her was destined to be, ultimately it’s still a result of Demon interference.

As a mother-to-be, she had the right to know the truth.

Jessamine naturally didn’t believe it at first, but looking at Scarlett’s serious expression, she just pursed her lips and said,

“Even if that’s the case, I won’t give up this child.”

This child was her hope.

Scarlett had overheard her conversation with Lydia earlier, and at that moment, she seemed to understand why Jessamine wanted to latch onto Lydia.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly said,

“You transfer three hundred to me, I can give you a fortune-telling.”

Jessamine almost immediately withdrew two steps with her mobile in hand, suspiciously looking at Scarlett.

“You’re not just fabricating all this nonsense to take back that three hundred from me, are you?”

Scarlett: …

Forget it, take it or leave it.
