Chapter 417:
“Then let Elliana help you,” Cole said, giving him a reassuring nod. “She knows what she’s doing p>
Unable to come up with any more excuses, Jason looked at Elliana, resignation written all over his face. “Alright, Elliana, I’ll leave it to you p>
Elliana nearly broke into laughter at the sight of Jason’s obviously reluctant expression. This was the same man who, just hours ago, had threatened to kick her out of the Evans family. Now he needed her help. How ironic! Still, there was no time for jokes. Jason’s life came first.
While injuries and even death were part of the routine amid fights, Jason mattered to Cole, and that was enough for her.
Elliana reached for Jason’s arm, carefully checking his pulse, and then moved her hand to his chest, feeling around to determine which ribs were broken and how serious the damage was. Once she was sure, she shot up, leaned in, and pressed down firmly on both sides of the injury.
“Ah!” Jason let out a sharp cry, pain etched across his face. Beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
From the sidelines, Charlie watched in disbelief. “Mrs. Evans, his ribs are already broken! If you press that hard, aren’t you just making it worse p>
Elliana didn’t waste time trying to justify herself. She simply shot Charlie a scornful look and muttered under her breath, “Incompetent doctor p>
Charlie seethed inwardly at the jab, but his position left him no choice but to stay silent.
Jason’s pain finally began to subside. Still grimacing, he shot Elliana a suspicious glare. “Are you sure you’re actually helping me and not just getting payback p>
A sly grin played on Elliana’s lips as she answered, “You could say it’s a little of both. My method reconnects your ribs with one press, so you won’t need surgery. That’s the good news. But I skipped the anesthesia—that’s my way of revenge p>
Jason’s jaw dropped, caught between amazement and skepticism. Could she really have fixed his ribs that easily?

Charlie, who remained unconvinced, stepped over to examine Jason himself. After a quick check, his eyes went wide. “It’s true! They’re back in place p>
Jason stopped glaring at Elliana, stunned by Charlie’s words. Disbelief flickered in his eyes. Even a specialist like Charlie couldn’t fix him, but Elliana made it look easy. No wonder Cole put so much faith in her.
While Jason was still lost in thought, Elliana forced his jaw open and slipped a pill past his lips. He didn’t even have time to protest as the medicine melted away the moment it hit his tongue, sliding straight down to his stomach. A cool, soothing feeling washed through his body almost immediately.
“What did you just make me take?” Jason managed to ask.
Elliana brushed the leftover powder from her fingers and answered with a shrug, “That was my own special formula. It’ll stop your internal bleeding in no time.” She gave him a pointed look. “By the way, that pill comes with an expensive price tag. So, don’t forget to settle your bill p>
A faint twitch pulled at the corners of Jason’s mouth. “How much do you want p>
“Ten million,” Elliana said as she held up a single finger, her expression unwavering.
