Marianne did not expect that the birthday gift that Charlie had casually given her would be so expensive.
It was so expensive that even Lord Fox could only get half of the pill from Charlie!
As she thought of this, she suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart.
At this moment, she felt a girl-like joy in her heart as well as the trepidation of receiving something so valuable without merit.
However, she did not expect that Kathleen's next sentence would leave her even more speechless.
Kathleen struggled and hesitated for a long time before she looked at Marianne and asked in an extremely serious manner, " Miss Long, do you intend to sell this Healing Pill? I am willing to pay you ten billion US dollars if you plan to sell it!"
There were not many people who knew of the actual value of the Rejuvenating Pill as well as the Healing Pill better than Kathleen herself.
Needless to say, the Rejuvenating Pill was a divine medicine that could be sold for three hundred billion US dollars. Even the Healing Pill was a superb product that could cure hundreds of diseases and thousands of injuries. The Healing Pill could also give a dying person an extra three to five years of life.
A desperate person would be willing to exchange five years of his life for fifty thousand dollars, such as those young people who would sell a kidney or reduce their life expectancy by more than ten years just to be able to buy an iPhone for twenty to thirty thousand dollars.
However, for people at the top of the pyramid who held the world’s top wealth, they would be willing to spend one billion or even billions of US dollars in order to prolong their lives for even just one year.
Kathleen hoped that she could buy this Healing Pill so that she could ensure that her grandfather would be able to pull through safely if something were to go wrong with her grandfather's health again in the future.
Therefore, even ten billion US dollars was nothing to Kathleen. In her opinion, it would be considered a very good deal if she could buy a Healing Pill at this price.
When Marianne heard this, she was shocked.
However, she did not understand why she could not even be as important as Marianne was to Charlie.
She thought to herself, 'Why... Why is Charlie treating Marianne so well when they have only known each other for a few days?'
As she thought of this, she looked up at Marianne again.
She had to admit that Marianne was indeed a very beautiful girl. This girl, who was usually aloof and delicate, looked even more pitiful and fragile after she had cried. Still, Kathleen felt that she was not in any way worse off compared to Marianne.
At this time, Marianne saw that Kathleen seemed to be lost in her thoughts as she stared at her, and she could not help but ask, "Miss Fox, you're not mad at me, are you?"
Kathleen hurriedly shook her head. "No, of course not."
