Chapter 125 Scammer
This won’t do! Dr. Lund merely sent one of his disciples over.
Emrys was slightly stunned to hear Jacqueline’s question, but he immediately regained his senses and answered with a smile,
“I’m Dr. Lund himself.”
“What? You’re Dr. Lund?” This time, it was Jacqueline’s turn to be shocked. He’s joking, right? How could Dr. Lund be so young?
More incredulously, since Dr. Lund is a revered doctor, he must be someone distinguished, so how could he possibly ride a
bicycle here? This is simply unbelievable!
Emrys didn’t care about Jacqueline’s thoughts. After parking his bicycle, he said, “Take me to Mr. Balford.”
“Oh, all right!” Jacqueline snapped out of her reverie.
Regardless of whether the young man before her was truly. Dr. Lund, she had no other choice but to trust Emrys.
Subsequently, the two entered the house.
The grandeur and opulent interior of the house opened up before Emrys‘ eyes. The carved railings and marble staircase gave
him the false impression of having stepped into a palace.
Ah! So, this is the lifestyle of the rich! Emrys exclaimed inwardly.
contrast, the Balford family’s mansion exhibited extravagant splendor.
In comparison, Emrys still preferred his Verdant Estate.
“Jacqueline, who is he?” As soon as the two entered the living room, a young man with a buzz cut walked out, looking at Emrys
warily.
“This is the miracle doctor Dr. Lund, who I invited to treat Dad,” Jacqueline introduced.
Then, she turned to Emrys. “Dr. Lund, this is my younger brother, Sebastian Balford.”
Emrys nodded.
Unexpectedly, Sebastian suddenly widened his eyes and uttered doubtfully, “Jacqueline, this guy looks even younger than me,
yet you say he’s a miracle doctor? Are you kidding me?”
Jacqueline scolded, “Mind your manners! Don’t disrespect Dr. Lund.”
She was similarly skeptical, but aside from trusting Emrys, she didn’t know what else she could do in that desperate situation.
Sebastian stubbornly shook his head. “No way. It’s obvious that he’s a scammer. I’ll never allow him to treat our dad. Jacqueline,
where did you find this imposter?”
Jacqueline explained with a grimace, “Dad asked me to dial Dr. Lund’s number while he was still lucid.”
1/2
“That means Dad was fooled,” Sebastian replied firmly. “Jacqueline, think about it. You only called a short while ago, and this so–
called Dr. Lund showed up at once. That means he must’ve been lurking around our house, waiting for your call.”
Jacqueline’s heart sank after she heard his words. Sebastian has a point. There are too many scammers these days, and many
are flaunting the name of a miraculous doctor to deceive others, specifically targeting wealthy families.
Most importantly, she had just witnessed Emrys riding a bicycle there. Following Sebastian’s logic, only if Emrys had been lurking
nearby in advance could he arrive within ten minutes.
The suspicion Jacqueline harbored toward Emrys intensified.
However, what she didn’t know was Emrys could travel half of Summerbank’s expanse in ten minutes on his bicycle.
Emrys didn’t bother to explain. He sighed and said, “Since you two don’t trust me, I shall take my leave. I hope you know what
you’re doing.”
The reason he was willing to treat Roger that day was firstly because he happened to be in Summerbank. Secondly, it was
because Roger was a decent person.
However, since Jacqueline and her brother doubted him, Emrys couldn’t be bothered to meddle in that matter further. He could
only accept that it was Roger’s fate to be jinxed to death by his children.
He upheld the old saying that the practice of medicine could be benevolent but not be played down.
After saying that, Emrys was ready to depart from the Balford residence.
Sebastian sneered, “Why are you still keeping up that pretense? I think you’re just too ashamed to stay because I exposed your
scam. Hurry up and get lost!”
