“If I say yes, will everything go back to normal?”
“Who knows? You’ll only find out once you say it!” Daniel said with a friendly grin. “You’re making yourself suffer for no reason, Damian! If you just admit it and tell the truth, God might let you off easy, and then your stomach won’t hurt anymore. Wouldn’t that be great? But hey, if you want to keep feeling this pain, that’s up to you. Remember, it’s your body that hurts, not mine.”
After a moment of hesitation, Damian finally decided he couldn’t take it anymore.
“My... my bad, I’m not a good doctor.”
The moment he admitted this, the pain in his stomach vanished.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore?! Really, it doesn’t hurt!” Damian exclaimed, astonished and dancing around with excitement.
“You see? I told you this was God’s punishment! Now do you believe me?”
“Okay, okay! It’s golden jade, worth over eight million!” he quickly admitted.
“Great!” Daniel exclaimed, turning to Grant with a grin. “Did you hear that? Aaron just confirmed it! So, you and Aaron lost the bet. You both need to bow down and show me some respect, or else you’ll be feeling more pain!”
“Ha!” Grant scoffed, rolling his eyes. “Just because you say it’s worth eight million doesn’t make it so! Even if this is really jade, you still need someone willing to pay that price for it!”
