Chapter 1457 Quite the Joker

• Skylar's words stumped Forrest, but the latter quickly recovered. "I'll be honest with you, Mr. Stone. If my father hadn't held on, I would've long wanted to meet my maker. So, how could I fear surgery when I'm not even afraid of death? If this surgery can free me from the torment of illness, I'm willing to try, regardless of the outcome."
• "Good!" Skylar nodded satisfactorily. "Glad to know you're not afraid. Actually, my earlier words were a bit exaggerated. Although I won't administer anesthesia before the surgery, during the procedure, I'll use silver needles to provide some special treatment to alleviate your pain."
• Hearing this, Forrest laughed. "I didn't expect you to be such a joker, Mr. Stone. But don't worry, I've been fighting with the Grim Reaper every day for the past few months, so this is nothing."
