Chapter 270 Only I Can Heal Her
48 Pearls
In Edgar’s heart, the hope of seeing his mother recover–able to walk and live normally again—had long been his greatest wish.
Now, with the money Thomas had given him, he finally had the means take her to the best doctors.
And yet, this tactless girl in front of him had the nerve to “curse” his mother’s paralysis, claiming it couldn’t be cured…
Fury surged up in his chest. Edgar couldn’t help clenching his fists. “You say she can’t be cured, and that makes it true? Who do you think you are?”
“Then go ahead and try it,” Jean replied coolly, her expression nonchalant as her lips curled into a faint, lazy smirk. “Take her to the best doctors in Blairford.”
“And let me be clear about this-” Her tone grew firm, confident. “Your mother’s condition… only I can cure it.”
Edgar froze.
Part of him was livid–who did this girl think she was, claiming even the top doctors in Blairford couldn’t do what she could?
But another part of him was taken aback.
This girl, who looked even younger than him, was standing there claiming she could cure his mother’s paralysis?
She looked so sure of herself–so certain that only she had the answer…
“Where the hell do you get that kind of confidence?” Edgar shot back, his tone sharp and mocking. He looked her up and down. “You think you’re better than doctors?”
But Jean didn’t get angry.
She just smiled. “Didn’t I say you could try it for yourself?”
She spoke kindly, even patiently. “After you try–and if your mother still doesn’t get better–you can come find me anytime. If you want to reach me, just go to the shabbiest grocery store on Tri Street and tell the owner. He’ll let me know.”
Edgar’s expression slowly settled.
But inside, everything she’d said was still hitting him like a storm. It was too much to process all at once.
Was she hinting at something?
She really did seem willing to help his mom…
But Edgar wasn’t naïve. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world-
He understood that if he asked for her help to treat his mother, it would mean agreeing to testify.

Ridiculous!
There was no way this girl could be more capable than top–tier doctors.

If she wanted to scam people, she could’ve come up with a more believable pitch. This was just too absurd.
Jean could see the suspicion and disdain written all over his face.
She waved at him and smiled. “Take your time and think it over. Time waits for no one. But if you wait until this case is over to come crying to me, I might not agree to help then. That’s it for today. I’ll head out now- you should get back to school too.”
With that, Jean turned and glanced at Ludwig.
The two exchanged a look, then left the grove together in sync, leaving Edgar standing there, stunned and motionless.
“Will he come to you?” Ludwig asked lightly as they stepped out of the alley.
Jean smiled indifferently. “He can do whatever he wants. If he agrees to work with me, great. If not, I’ve got a Plan B anyway.”
Ludwig gave her a meaningful look. “You’re getting more composed, more strategic–and bolder too, Jean.”
Jean met his eyes. “Are you complimenting me?”
The boy raised an eyebrow slightly. “Of course.”
Jean said nothing more.
She knew that by now, she had grown far from the person the original Jean used to be.
But she had no intention of hiding that.
Why pretend? Who could possibly guess she was someone who had transmigrated into a book?
