Jennifer retrieved her phone, and picked up the call."Where are you? I went to the office to look for you. An employee said you haven't been to work for a few days now. Don't forget that you still have to take over Anakin Pharmaceuticals in the Imperial Capital. What's the matter? Is Anakin Pharmaceuticals not good enough for you, Ms. York?" Frederick teased.Jennifer rolled her eyes.Anakin Pharmaceuticals was one of Drakonia's leading drug companies. Its market value was higher than Prospera Corporation."I've been busy with things at home these days."She sounded a little tired."Things at home? Oh, right. You said your grandfather was sick the other day. How is he? Is it serious?" Only then did Frederick recall this."He has stage four lung cancer. The doctor said he has less than three months," Jennifer said in a hushed voice.Frederick was stunned for a moment. He then frowned."Where is he getting treatment now?" he asked."Meyo Clinic developed a targeted treatment f
Jennifer was stunned when she read the message. She clutched the phone so hard that her knuckles turned pale."What did you do?" Zacharias asked with a frown when he saw Zeke's movements next to him.“Nothing. I just sent a text message to my adorable niece," Zeke said with a chuckle."What did you send her?" Zacharias's eyes widened with surprise."I only told her we would give her a present after we arrive." Zeke shrugged nonchalantly."We're still in the country!" Zacharias snarled through clenched jaws after taking a deep breath."The plane's already taken off. Do you think she can make the plane turn around?"Zeke pointed out the window. From where they sat, they were able to see the plane's wings through the window. At this moment, the airplane's wings were already pointing diagonally to the sky, and the nose of the plane was cocked upwards.“Let's hope there are no surprises.” Zacharias glared at Zeke, his tone full of concern.“You're just scared out of your wits by
Zacharias forced a smile upon his face.“Yes, I didn't expect to be so unlucky as to encounter a plane malfunction. Jennifer, you should quickly book us on the next flight. Your grandfather's health requires urgent attention."In an attempt to muddle through, he chose to play dumb.“Grandpa's illness is not urgent—" Jennifer said, but she was immediately cut off by Zeke."Not urgent? How could you say that? He's your grandfather! There clearly is a cure for him. Are you going to make him give up on the opportunity to be cured?" Zeke chided."There was a cure, but it no longer works because of you," Jennifer said through clenched jaws.If it really was as Frederick had mentioned, she believed that Xavier was kept in the dark.Xavier wasn’t the type of person who would willingly gamble with his life for freedom and power. There was no way he would agree to such a plan.After years of fighting explicitly and implicitly, Jennifer had gotten to know Xavier very well."What did you
"Jennifer, what's going on? A doctor from Meyo Clinic said that didn't happen at all!"Xavier's expression turned gloomy, and his tone became stern.He had already given up hope that he would live past three months. In the end, Jennifer gave him hope that Meyo Clinic could provide a cure.This fueled his desire to live."Jennifer, are you still holding a grudge against your grandfather? Is that why you won't send him to Meyo Clinic for treatment? Is that why you came up with an excuse?" Zeke said. He was still fanning the fire.Jennifer had an awful expression on her face. For a while, she didn’t know how to respond to Xavier's questioning."The truth is, Jennifer considered the fact that you'd be unfamiliar with a foreign country. She wanted to have Meyo Clinic's team come here to treat you. However, this hasn't been finalized yet. That's why she has yet to tell you about it. She didn't want to disappoint you if it failed to work out in the end."Frederick smiled, and spoke u
“Mr. Lester, please don't apologize. I should be thanking you. If it wasn't for you, Meyo Clinic wouldn't be what it is now. If I could, I'd like to thank you in person someday."Larry sounded very grateful on the phone."Why don't we make that happen in the next few days?"Frederick smiled a little."If it's not too much to ask, I was hoping you could make a trip to Drakonia with a medical team. There's an old man here with stage four lung cancer who could really use your help," he added."That's not hard. Although we're about to launch a clinical trial here, my assistant is fully capable of leading the team to proceed with it. Wouldn't you say this is a redundant effort?"Larry felt confused.Frederick taught him what he knew. Although he recently developed the targeted treatment for lung cancer, he still believed Frederick was far more capable than him despite his significant improvement over the years.He believed that if he was able to come up with a cure, Frederick certai
“You can try to book flights. I've already informed people at the airport to include your names in their blacklist. You won't be able to go on any flights for now. You should just stay at home for the next two days. Once Meyo Clinic's medical team arrives, I'll get them to drop by and check on you."Frederick held Jennifer back while he spoke.At this point, nothing else needed to be said. The facts were laid out in front of them. Naturally, they were speechless.Both Zacharias and Zeke's facial expressions changed drastically when they heard this.They retrieved their phones, and frantically tried to book flights with ticketing software. However, after filling out their information, their orders could not be submitted.“Don't bother. Forget about booking flights, you can't even buy bus tickets. On top of that, I've contacted the bank to freeze all your credit cards."Frederick smiled."Frederick, you've gone too far!" Zacharias yelled angrily."I'm doing this for your own good
After word about this got out, many rich and powerful folks quickly made their way to the airport.However, by the time they arrived, they discovered Meyo Clinic's medical team had already been picked up.Larry, who was admired by many, was currently holding Frederick's hands in his car. He had a look of admiration on his face. If he hadn’t been married before, Frederick would have kicked him out of the car.Larry's wife had already passed away. Meyo Clinic was named after his deceased wife."Mr. Lester, I'm very confident about my new targeted treatment, but I'm sure it can be better since it's brand new. I hope you will observe while I carry out the treatment. It'd be great if you could offer me suggestions."Larry seemed sincere. He did not say those things out of politeness."Although this might not be a huge ask, I'm afraid you won't have an opportunity to showcase your targeted treatment."Frederick chuckled."Why? Didn't you say the patient had stage four lung cancer? It
“Dr. Bruce! It's so good to see you!”Xavier's cheeks were flushed from the excitement. Right now, Larry was like an angel to him.“Please calm down. Being too excited isn't good for your current physical condition," Larry said sternly.When Jennifer met Xavier a few days ago, he was still bedridden and struggled to move. After deciding to send him to Meyo Clinic for treatment, doctors gave him a high dose of medication so he could move."Yes, I'll do as you say! Dr. Bruce, if it weren't for you, I'd have given up hope for a cure by now. If anyone can cure advanced lung cancer, it has to be you."Although Xavier was trying his best to stay calm, he still felt a little excited."Actually, you don't have to feel that way at all. There's someone in Drakonia who has much better medical skills than I do. I have him to thank for all my achievements," Larry said, shaking his head.Xavier was stunned to hear that. Was there someone this capable in Drakonia? Why had he not heard about th
