Chapter: 970
Although Betsey knew that Maria came with Anthony, she couldn't help but glare at her. After all, she didn't know what kind of relationship she had with Jack.
Noticing the glare from Betsey, Maria smiled and said, “Don't worry. Jack will recover from this soon. I promise to cure him. By the way, you seem close to him. What's your name?"
“Really? You can do that?" The expression on Betsey’s face instantly changed, and her mouth opened wide in surprise.
Who exactly was this woman? How could she confidently say that she could cure such a bad injury?
But the smile on Maria's face was so bright and sincere that Betsey couldn't help but believe in her. Slowly, her anger dissipated.
Then, she answered in a Low voice, "My name is Betsey. Betsey Morris. I am actually Jack's..."
Betsey's voice trailed off because she also didn't know how to describe her relationship with Jack right now.
“Humph! Haven't you broken up with Jack already? Why are you still acting Like you care so much about him?"
Before Betsey could say more, Colin butted in with a cold sneer.
Upon hearing this, Maria seemed to have understood something. She looked at Betsey first before turning to Jack.
“Hmm..." Judging from Betsey's genuinely concerned eyes and expression, it was obvious that she still Loved Jack deeply. But why did they break up?
"Y-yes... Betsey, you and I may have broken up... But still... Thank you for showing your concern..."
After forcing himself to speak, Jack spat a mouthful of blood again. "She knows about that. Now, stop talking. Conserve your strength. It won't do you any good if you lose more blood,” Maria reprimanded Jack. Then, she finally got what she was Looking for in her bag.
It seemed to be a small, palm-sized porcelain bottle.
Maria gently pulled out the cork and acquired a small pellet from it. At a glance, this pellet looked Like a regular chocolate chip.
"Now, open your mouth," Maria ordered firmly.
Before Betsey could ask what it was, Jack already opened his mouth without any hesitation.
Then, as Maria put the pellet in his mouth, Jack swallowed it without chewing. "What it that pellet? What on earth did you give him?"
Colin felt that it was very suspicious. Whatever was inside the small porcelain bottle couldn't be anything ordinary. In fact, he seemed to have seen it somewhere before.
From what he remembered... He seemed to have seen this bottle at an auction before. But not just from any ordinary auction.
It was a secret auction of the ancient martial world.
Colin was so shocked that he even Lost his cool.
He strode forward, and before he knew it, he was already reaching out to grab the bottle in Maria's hand.
As for Jack, he felt a significant shift in the energy coursing through his body as soon as he swallowed the pellet. He envisioned it as a clear stream sparkling with vitality flowing through his veins.
