Chapter 164 164 Clara’s Determination



He turned towards the girls in hopes that they would back his claim and push out the liar so as to avoid causing harm to the master but the girls didn\'t say a word after Drew intervened. They seemed to completely trust the doctor as well.

Grace knew that he needed to rely on himself in this situation. Therefore, his eyes stuck to Zach like they had been glued to him as if there was nothing else in the room that he needed to be wary of other than him.

Drew turned to face Zach and saw nothing but calm on his face. Zach didn\'t look rattled by the sword in his face. Drew believed that Zach was either an exceptional actor or he was completely confident in getting out alive even from a situation that was so unfavorable to him.

Feeling confident in his choice to believe in Zach, Drew solemnly asked him for help by bending his back to the extent his old body allowed him.

Zach didn\'t need any words to know what the old doctor wanted to say. He looked at Grace once before using his hands to pat the old man\'s shoulder lightly in order to reassure him.

"Can the disease really be cured completely?" Drew asked with some hesitation in his voice. He knew that the dark magic wasn\'t limited by the means of the conventional magic but he didn\'t dare to assume something about it when he barely had any knowledge on the subject.

"There is a good chance of curing the disease completely through this method. It is at least a better option than the status quo. Although there is a slight possibility of things going wrong during the procedure or some harmful after-effects of the procedure, the possibility is infinitesimally small and usually needs no worry. You can rest assured and leave it to me. I just ask for your cooperation in return." Zach looked towards Clara and Violet in at the end in order to announce that he would need their help.

Although Drew had asked Zach for help, he couldn\'t bring himself to believe in his own choice. Had Zach told him that the procedure was extremely risky and would need a large amount of sacrifices, Drew would have believed him wholeheartedly because that was how dark magic worked.

Zach\'s reassurances had worked against him completely. Logically thinking, the old man was in the right to believe that Zach might not be an expert at all. The reason was Zach\'s young age. Countless dark mages spent their whole lives trying to get to such a level of expertise.

Drew\'s instinct on the other hand made him believe otherwise. It was screaming at him to believe in Zach and trust his words. He could tell somehow that the young man wasn\'t lying at all. Every word that came out of his mouth was carefully spoken as if he wanted to avoid telling a lie.

Based on Drew\'s experience in medicine, he knew that there should be no other means to cure Blood Loss in the world other than the dew of the World Tree. He wondered if Zach had gotten a hold of the dew already and was only posing in order to get more benefits out of the Windsor family. 

Zach could understand the indecisiveness of these people. They were only worried that he would harm the old master. But there was no way for him to make the decision for them. 

As such he just furrowed his brows in feigned anger as he stood in front of the doctor waiting for his decision.

At this point, Clara got up from the spot where she had been kneeling and stumbled her way towards him. Her legs were short of blood after sitting in the same position for so long. Therefore she was having difficulty walking.

"Can you really treat my father\'s illness?" 

Unlike the people in the room, Clara had spent a considerable amount of time with the person and she knew what kind of a person he was. He always pulled through his words and had never disappointed the people he led. Clara felt that it was okay to trust such a person with her father\'s life especially after he was in such a condition and had no escape anyway. Why not just let Zach try? She had heard of the miracles that he pulled off from his followers and she knew how exaggerated such things could be. But what if even a five percent of those incidents were true? Wouldn\'t that be enough to give a new life to her father?

"I can try. I believe that if healing magic has lost its effect on your father then I am your only hope of ever curing your father without the Dew of the World Tree."

Clara nodded in understanding because she was thinking the same thing in her heart.

"Alright; I believe you. Please don\'t break my trust or you and I both will face dire consequences."

Zach revealed a smile on his face because finally someone had decided to put their trust in him even though he was a stranger in their home.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence. I will try my best to save your father in return. As for the consequences, you don\'t have to worry about shouldering any of them." 

Zach waved his hand and several boxes of pills appeared out of nowhere. Drew and Violet were especially surprised. This kind of magic wasn\'t common at all. Violet even wondered if it was some kind of space magic but she didn\'t ask anything thinking that it might be another dark magic. She didn\'t want to spill his secrets when he was trying to help her father.

The pills had been taken out from the AI Medical system as per the old man\'s earlier diagnosis. There were several different colored pills and the system advised Zach on the quantity of each of the pills to be given to the patient immediately in order to keep his condition from worsening.

Zach passed on the instructions to Clara exactly as he received it and asked her to feed the pills to her father without any delay.

Clara hesitated at first because she didn\'t know what it was that she was about to feed her father at the behest of a stranger who might even mean to do him harm.

Pushing those thoughts to the back of her head, Clara did as he asked without any protest or hesitation. Since she had decided to trust him, she was willing to do it till the end.

Seeing as she was done, Zach addressed both the girls in the room before voicing out the things he had so far kept to himself so as to not cause them to worry too much about their father. He needed their approval to begin treatment and they wouldn\'t have been able to do that if they were not rational.

"Your father has been suffering from a long time but this time is different. There will be no coming back from it this time unless you do something for him. His blood has been corroded too far this time and won\'t be able to sustain him for long. Someone out of you or his other blood relatives needs to donate their bone marrow to him if you want him to survive past this disease. There is no other way left. It is already too late. There might have been some other solution in the past but it is unfortunate that I got here too late. So, I will need you to cooperate with me in order for this treatment to be truly successful. Are you willing to do what is needed?" Zach\'s tone had grown increasingly serious and solemn towards the end. The girls could feel the atmosphere around them growing heavier by the second but none of them was cowardly enough to back out when they had the chance of saving their father.

Both Violet and Clara had a determined look on their faces. Zach needed no words to understand what they were thinking as he began to busily prepare for the transplant as soon as possible. 

And for that he needed to prep the patient to undergo the bone marrow transplant if he successfully found a match for him from among his close relatives.

Clara let Violet make the arrangements to gather the rest of the people here so that Zach could find a match amongst them as she didn\'t have as much authority within the family as Violet did.

Violet held a meeting with all five of her compatriots before bringing them to the old master\'s room for testing. She knew that she needed to tell them the truth beforehand so that none of them backed out of it at the end. For that they all had to be willing to make the sacrifice before being tested.

"You all know that my father is extremely sick. Even the SS rank healer Drew who has been responsible for helping my father forever is unable to do anything for him. Therefore, he has requested the help of another man in order to help him. But the healing method devised is somewhat unorthodox. The man has requested that we need to transfer the bone marrow of one person to my father in order to help him cure the disease completely. Our family\'s condition is highly unstable at the moment and my father\'s survival will determine whether the Windsor family will be able to sustain itself in this city in the future or not. Therefore, tell me now if you are unwilling to do what is necessary to save our family head. Otherwise be prepared for what is to come next."
