Miranda's Questions

Clarence pushed the woman away. "What are you doing?"

The woman explained, "Help treat my friend. His situation is similar to mine as his meridians were broken too. If you can treat him, I'll give you 100 million."

The woman thought no one would be able to resist the temptation of 100 million bucks.

"Oh," Clarence replied faintly.

The woman frowned. "Do you think I'm joking?"

Clarence looked at her with a grin. "A few days ago, there was a woman similar to you, though she's much worse than you. Her father is the millionaire of Maple Country. I think he has some kind of incurable disease. She gave me a check for 200 million and asked me to treat her father. If I succeeded, she'd give me another billion. Do you know why I didn't go?"

The woman stared blankly at him at first. Then, she grew a little angry. "Do you think I'm playing with you? I'm telling the truth!"
