At this moment, Charlie uttered, “Aunty, to most doctors, kidney failure is indeed irreversible. However, my ancestor still managed to preserve some good prescriptions. To cure this isn’t very hard.” “Really?!” Faith could not hold back her excitement, and she replied with a lump in her throat, “Then, Mr. Wade, please intervene and save my husband… Throughout his life, he was a good teacher and had a noble character. He never once did a bad thing and should not have ended up like this…” As she spoke, Faith looked toward Doris, who was by her side. Holding Doris’s hands tightly, she cried, “He used more than twenty years of his life to nurture Doris. He has not yet seen Doris wearing a wedding gown and getting married. He has also not yet enjoyed the family fun of three generations. If he were to go like this, God really has no eyes…” Nodding his head, Charlie said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Aunty. As long as Uncle eats the medicine prepared by me, the disease will su
After feeding half the medication to Doris’s father, the mother and daughter were surprised to see Corwin’s ghost-like pale face instantly turn slightly rosy with life.This was what Oskian medicine termed as the color of the blood!When a person’s Qi and blood were strong, their complexion would be glowing with a rosy radiance. When the Qi and blood were insufficient, they would look pale and sallow.The main reason why terminally ill patients looked pale and had lips that were lacking in color was mostly because of the exhaustion of the blood and Qi in their body.Doris’s father was indeed like that.The extremely severe kidney failure had long put his life on the line.His entire person looked like a plant that was about to wilt, on the verge of death.However, as soon as the medicine was ingested, his body began to undergo extreme changes.This scene made the mother and daughter feel as though they were watching a documentary on television in which some documentaries had re
Charlie nodded and smiled. “No worries. Letting the doctor perform their check-up is also a good idea.”Doris asked in a soft tone, “What about the medicine? If the doctor were to ask about it, what should we reply? After all, in the eyes of the doctor, my father’s kidney problem is already very severe and there was no cure…”Charlie laughed as he replied, “No worries. The doctor of Silverwing Hospital had previously witnessed an even more impressive medical miracle before this.”In the past, Charlie’s father-in-law had been struck by a car and had become paraplegic. When he was admitted into the hospital, all the doctors had concluded that he could be bedridden for the rest of his life as he could no longer feel anything below his neck, let alone move freely.However, with the help of a healing pill, Charlie had been able to save his father-in-law. It was as if life came back into his body, he was bursting with energy and was even able to move instantly.At that moment, that had
Creatinine in the blood was an important indicator for judging the degree of damage sustained by the kidney.The higher the amount of creatinine found in the blood indicated the higher degree of kidney damage.For a normal adult, the amount of creatine in the blood generally should be below a hundred and thirty-three. Any number above this value indicated that the kidney had already sustained some damage.Once the creatinine amount exceeded four hundred and fifty, it could be determined to be a renal failure. If the value exceeded seven hundred, it basically meant that it was uremia.During the noon, Corwin’s blood monitor indicated that his blood creatinine index had exceeded more than a thousand and five hundred!Therefore, in order to determine whether he had recovered from his illness, the most important point of reference would be the blood creatinine index.Soon, the nurse came rushing in.Seeing Corwin’s sudden energetic appearance, the nurse was shocked and in disbelief.
In the past, her parents had been looking for some suitable men for her. Corwin had even wanted to introduce his favorite student to her, but she hadn’t even given them a chance to meet nor have a meal.As of now, Doris realized that her mother seemed to have a very good impression of Charlie. Now, the reason she wanted Charlie to stay was probably to ask Charlie for some personal information or maybe even to investigate her relationship with him.Therefore, she quickly said, “Mother, Charlie is a young man. There is a generation gap between you guys, there won’t be much to talk about. It’s better to not cause him any trouble!”Faith immediately replied, “What are you saying? Although your dad and I are a little older, we do know a lot about the younger generation stuff, okay?”At this moment, Charlie said with a smile, “It’s alright, Doris. You should go and buy your stuff first. Let’s not delay uncle’s meal. I will chat with uncle and aunt for a while.”Doris was very embarrasse
Charlie couldn’t really understand Faith’s point at that moment, but he felt somewhat embarrassed when he heard this.After all, Doris was his employee.Although the Emgrand Group was his, the entirety of the Emgrand Group’s operations, management, and development was almost entirely handled by Doris alone.In contrast, Charlie was just giving instructions and not handling them personally.If, according to Faith’s words, Doris were to quit her job, fall in love, and travel around the world, it would be like throwing away the Emgrand Group.Deep down, he really didn’t want this to happen. Who in the right mind would let his most capable man do nothing but travel around the world.However, he also knew that he was just chatting with Doris’s parents anyway. So, he should just agree with whatever they said and let this be simply a chatting session.Hence, he smiled and replied, “Aunty, whatever you’ve just mentioned is very reasonable. In fact, you should indeed go out to experience
Maybe he could have conquered Mount Everest, gone skiing in the Alps, gone on a vacation to France, or even gone to the Antarctic or diving in Tahiti.However, his life trajectory had been drastically changed because of that accident.Originally, he had been the world’s richest kid. There were six or seven billion people in the world, and there were no more than a hundred people who could be reincarnated into such a well-off family.However, when he was eight years old, he had become the most pitiful and miserable child in the world.Compared to other orphans, he had led a much harder life.This was because he had lost both parents at that time, and he had also been forced to live together with the other orphans in the welfare institute. He had to bear the pain of his parents being murdered, bear the unshakable hatred, and bear the sudden change in his environment as though he had been cast out of heaven and was made to live in hell. From one of the wealthiest families in the worl
“Forty-five?!”Hearing the numbers, Dr. Spears was completely confused.It had dropped from one thousand and five hundred to forty-five?! That was just too amazing!Doris’s family of three was even more sensitive to the numbers.After all, a few years ago, Doris’s father had already suffered from uremia. Due to the long exposure to the sickness, the family of three already knew about this sickness so thoroughly that they were already quite proficient at it.They were very clear about the value range of creatinine in the blood, in which the value range represented which stage the kidney was experiencing. They were very knowledgeable in this aspect.The normal range of blood creatinine was supposed to be between forty to a hundred and thirty.So, when they heard the number forty-five, the family of three burst into tears of excitement!Doris remembered something and quickly questioned Dr. Spears, “Dr. Spears, I seem to remember the value of forty-five being a little on the lower
Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"
While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav
Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from
"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,
Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my
After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme
Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If
Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo
Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma
