"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
“What do you mean?”Xavier looked at Larry in disbelief."I meant that your cancer was most likely caused by poisoning. However, as far as I know, there is no such drug in the world that can directly cause lung cancer."Larry frowned intensely.His perceptions were in great contradiction to the data he now collected.The data from the examination showed that Xavier's lung cancer cells had evolved into advanced stages in less than a month since their inception. On top of that, these cancerous cells seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Before these cells were produced, Xavier's lungs seemed completely normal.“No, I know such a drug exists.”This was when Frederick spoke up.At once, everyone in the room looked at him.“This drug, known as Lung Cancer Pill, has existed in Drakonia for thousands of years. It has only disappeared for hundreds of years because the materials needed to refine it are too rare, and the process of making it is too complicated," he said calmly.Zacha
Who on earth would want to harm him?At this point, Xavier looked at everyone suspiciously."You must have poisoned my father! You said the Lung Cancer Pill has disappeared for hundreds of eyars. Perhaps, you are the only person in the world who knows how to refine it. Apart from you, who else could have poisoned my father in this way?"Zacharias feigned anger as he pointed at Frederick."If I did it, why would I still be here and show you the pill?" Frederick snickered in disdain."Now isn’t the time to argue. Since we have found the source of the cancer cells, the most important thing right now is to analyze the pill's toxicity. Perhaps, we might be able to develop an antidote," Larry said.Upon hearing this, Xavier could not be bothered to think about who had poisoned him. "Dr. Bruce, you have to save me! Develop an antidote as soon as possible!"He looked pleadingly at Larry."Mr. York, I won't lie to you. The possibility is very slim. Even if we find the source of the to
"You're fired," a tall, striking woman announced. She wore a black pencil skirt, and her demeanor was cool and distant.Frederick Lester swallowed harshly as he looked at the woman's beautiful figure and tried not to let his eyes wander.The woman was Jennifer York, the recently appointed Vice President of the corporation. At twenty-seven, she was a highly educated returnee with a Ph.D. and dual degrees. She was also rumored to earn an incredibly high annual salary of as high as one billion!Today was her first day, and it had been full of tough interviews and layoffs.Someone from HR came up and tapped him on the shoulder. "Frederick, it's your turn." Frederick nervously entered her office. "Ms. York, you wanted to see me?"But as he entered, he saw Jennifer on the floor. She was obviously in distress, and her breathing was heavy!Frederick's concern spiked, and his heart raced.He had to do something!Despite her situation, her beauty was undeniable. He couldn't help bu
