The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3612
As Smith spoke of this, he then added, “This is just like a kind of hemorrhoid suppository that is very popular in Oskia. Some patients in the United States bought it through online shopping as well as through some black-market channels. The patients feel good after using it, and they have been hoping that this medication will pass the FDA’s review, but we have not been able to approve its application. Do you know why?”Liam was confused, so he asked, “Why exactly?” Smith said, “Because, in our opinion, that kind of hemorrhoid suppositories is just the use of some cooling analgesic ingredients. This kind of ingredient can let patients relieve their pain, but that’s as far as it goes. In our opinion, these ingredients cannot really treat the illness, but will also probably cover up the disease, thus delaying the scientific treatment for patients. So, we have also issued a warning some time ago reminding patients using this drug to pay attention to screening and not to ignore the core

As Smith spoke of this, he then suddenly said, “Besides that, there are many things that we have in Western medicine that you don’t have in Eastern medicine! For instance, psychological and mental diseases, viral diseases, immune system diseases such as AIDs, and auto-endocrine system diseases such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism...”At this point, Smith shook his head and laughed as he said, “There are too many similar examples! I will not list them one by one, but in short, I think that it would not be a loss for our people if we refuse to sell and introduce your medicine into our market because we have better options at home!”Liam’s pride and self-esteem were deeply stung because of Smith’s deep pride. He was well aware of Smith’s attitude which appeared to be respectful to the other party on the surface, but in reality, Smith was full of contempt and disdain for Eastern medicine. When Liam saw that Smith was indiscriminately belittling Eastern medicine, he could no

“Otherwise, I’ll leave now!”“I will not return a single penny of your thirty thousand US dollars to you either!”Liam did not expect that there was such a thing in the other party's family, and for a moment, he also felt a little empathy.So, he said apologetically, “Mr. Smith, I’m very sorry to hear such a thing. Can I take the liberty to ask how is your son's condition now?” When Smith heard this question, all of the aggression that he had been feeling just now instantly disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a heartfelt feeling of despair and helplessness.He let out a long sigh and muttered, “Half a month ago, he just received four hundred and seventy thousand US dollars worth of T-cell immunotherapy from Novartis Pharmaceuticals, but with little success...”“Now, his tumor has recurred, and it has spread throughout his body...”“Just three days ago, the largest tumor in his brain compressed his optic nerve and so, he is currently blind...”“The reason why I was late

After saying that, Liam grabbed his suitcase and strode out of the restaurant.At this time, Smith felt as if he had been humiliated.At that moment when he was still in a daze, Liam had already left the restaurant. He looked down at the box of Apothecary Restoration Pill on the table, and he felt so angry in his heart that he threw the box of pills into the garbage as he became consumed by his rage and said, “What kind of f*cking restoration pills are these?! It’s all f*cking bullsh*t! I've spent millions of dollars trying out all kinds of cutting-edge technology to cure my son! Even if the president had cancer, he would never get even more treatment than my son! He cannot even be cured after all these efforts, so how can he be cured by this kind of b*llsh*t Oskian medicine?!” At this point, the public relations person who had been hiding in the back and hadn't come out to disturb the two men hurriedly came out and asked after him, “Mr. Smith, what happened? Is Mr. Weaver
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3616
However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly thought of the words that Liam had left behind before leaving. Hence, Smith also questioned himself. ‘What that Oskian man said seems to be right. Why would he have bothered to fly halfway across the world and spend fifty thousand US dollars to come and see me just to tell me a bunch of nonsense?’After hesitating for a moment, he hurriedly turned back around. When he saw that the public relations officer was about to take the trash can away, he hurriedly blurted out, “Don’t move! Put that trash can down!”The public relations officer was surprised and asked, “Mr. Smith... You... What’s the matter with you?” Smith took a big step forward and snatched the trash can from the other man’s hand. He then took the box of Apothecary Restoration Pills out from it, turned around, and left the restaurant with the box of medicine in his hand. At this time, Liam was no longer anywhere to be seen outside the restaurant. Just a minute ago, Li

When cancer reached the end stage, any part of the patient's body may be in danger at any time, and it would subsequently be life-threatening. This was because the entire body system was like an ever-higher stack of building blocks that were already on the verge of collapse and could come crashing down at any moment. What's more, Smith's son was only twelve years old, and his body had long been stretched to the breaking point throughout his years of fighting cancer. In addition, the tumor in his brain was getting bigger, and after his vision and hearing were affected, his emotions were so intense that the doctors had had to give him a sedative. All of these were factors that were speeding up his demise. Smith looked at his son in the hospital bed through the window, and he felt extremely desperate at this moment. He knew that he had lost even after working hard for so many years. Just then, a doctor came up to him and said with a little respect and sympathy,
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3618
Smith choked up and asked, “Can he still wake up?” The doctor said, “The dose of the sedation that we had injected him with is very small. If there is nothing unexpected, he should be waking up in another hour or so. Your family can go in to accompany him and spend time with him.” Smith nodded with flushed red eyes. The doctor patted his shoulder and said comfortingly, “You can go in now. I won't bother your family here any longer. Just press the call bell if there’s anything, and I will come over immediately.” “Okay.”With the doctor gone, the ICU, which originally had very high requirements for a sterile environment, was no longer imposing any restrictions. This meant that the patient in the ward had started to go with the flow. Smith took his wife and daughter into the ward. His son, who was lying on the hospital bed, was still unconscious, but it was clear that he was now in a very poor condition, and he looked bloodless, pale, and thin. Smith's wife soon lost con

Two minutes later, Smith returned to the ICU ward with the box of Apothecary Restoration Pills in his hand. As soon as Jenny saw that he truly had a box of pills in his hand, she grabbed it and asked him anxiously, “Is this medicine for oral use? How should it be taken?”“It's for oral use.” Smith said with some hesitation, “However, I really do not know exactly how to consume it. The person who gave me the medicine did not tell me anything.” Jenny took the medicine in her hand and looked at it. She then saw that there were written instructions in English on the back of the medicine box. She looked at the simple line of words on it and said in amazement, “It's just two sentences. It says: Cancer patients, take one pill on an empty stomach every day. You can be cured by taking it consistently every day, and at the same time, it will also help your body to restore your vital energy quickly...” “D*mn it...” Smith cursed and gritted his teeth as he said, “I've never f*ckin

Bitterness swelled in Elaine's heart as she really didn't think that Matilda was doing so well for herself.The fact that Matilda was worth millions alone made her far superior.At the same time, she was also rejoicing that she had never actually met Matilda. If Matilda asked how she was doing directly, how would she respond?In the end, Matilda was no Hannah Queen.Elaine would actually feel accomplished if she compared herself to Hannah.On the other hand, Matilda eclipsed Elaine in every way—she was more beautiful, kind, smart, and knowledgeable. Even her figure left Elaine dead in the water!It was as pointless as comparing a hen to a peacock!Whenever she thought of her, she could comfort herself that she had stolen her man even if she couldn't measure up in any way.But now, Jacob was completely insignificant to Matilda while Elaine still treated Jacob like a trophy.Even as a sense of inferiority seized her, Charlie sighed. "Come on, you should understand where Jacob is
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6422
"Exactly!"Charlie agreed, striking the metal while it was hot. "To be honest, the years Matilda spent in the States would be wasted if she was actually still interested!" "She's a Wall Street veteran who'd definitely have met so many successful men! Why would she be interested in a loser like Jacbo Wilson? It's not like she returned from the States after thirty years to help the poor, don't you agree?"Charlie then finished with a sigh. "The way I see it? You're the only one who'd be interested in him."Jacob heard that from behind the wall and was left absolutely fuming and humiliated.He was the only one who knew that Matilda had come back for him—even if she was worth millions now.However, he just didn't have the spine to divorce Elaine and get together with Matilda.He presumed that it was no rush and that he could just give Elaine the silent treatment—who knew, she might just give in and ask for a divorce herself, and then, he would have no issues getting together with M

"Her real lover?!" Elaine exclaimed in shock. "What are you talking about?"Charlie put on a serious face as she said, "Matilda came back to Oskia for her one true love, who is now her fiance. His name is Yolden Hart, a top economist who's now a lecturer at Aurous Hill University, who was invited all the way from the States. He's a professional manager and used to work in Wall Street, so he'd be qualified to be a CEO in any Fortune 500 company…""Professional manager?" Elaine pouted. "That still means he's a wage slave!"Charlie laughed. "Don't underestimate professional managers now. Just look at Apple Inc.'s CEO—the man earns around a hundred million USD per year, and that's over seven hundred million in Oskian dollars!"Elaine was left gaping, unable to imagine how a wage slave could earn so much.At the same time, Charlie continued, "To be fair, Professor Hart wouldn't earn that much, but 50 million per year is still no sweat for him. Do you get the amount of money we're talki

Elaine appeared taken aback, and she promptly demanded, "You've met Matilda too?!"It was only then that Claire realized she had let the cat out of the bag, and she suddenly didn't know what to say. "Oh… Uh… Mom… I, uh… didn't?"Nonetheless, Elaine was suddenly pressing her menacingly, "If you've never met her, how would you know she's a serious person?!"As Claire stayed silent, Elaine broke down in tears. "No… You're lying to me too! Aren't you?!"While Claire was left at a loss of how she should salvage this mess, Charlie suddenly entered and said, "Claire didn't—but I did.""What?!" Elaine was left staring at Charlie, stunned.Still, she soon demanded, "Y-You've met Matilda?! Did Jacob take you with him to see her?""Yes," Charlie admitted, nodding.Elaine snapped right then, and she bellowed, "Then why didn't you tell me?! To think that I've always done right by you, treating you like my own son, but you wouldn't tell me that Jacob is cheating on me! Y-You disappoint me!"
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6419
Jacob certainly left Charlie speechless—the man might get kicked out of the house, but he was more worried about his car.Sighing in exasperation, he told Jacob, "Look, if it fails, I won't be able to get you a nice place, let alone leave the Cullinan with you."Jacob blurted out, "But why—""Don't forget—I'm still living in this house even if you're gone!" Charlie explained, his expression dead serious. "If I let you have a nice place and the Cullinan, God knows how terrible a grudge your wife would hold against me. I need to have a sense of self-preservation too!""If I got you a rundown apartment, I could at least defend myself even if she gets upset about that. I mean, I can't let you sleep in the streets, can I? Claire and I would be guilty of abandoning our elders."Seeing the serious look on Charlie's face, Jacob breathed a long sigh as he clapped him on the shoulder, groaning mournfully, "Oh, I get it. I wouldn't want to upset Elaine if I were in your shoes too…"Charlie
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6418
Charlie sighed. "I told you it'd blow up, Dad, but you had to doubt me.""I wasn't doubting you," Jacob promptly defended himself. "I thought I might catch a lucky break—"Charlie cut him short, "Fair enough. Then, how are you going to handle this? I can try to stop Mom from going to that wedding and prevent her from getting in the hall even if she went, but what's going to happen to the both of you? Do you want a divorce or do you want to stay with her?"The light in Jacob's faded as he shrugged and sighed. "If I could divorce her, I would've—and I would be living happily with Matilda now. What company would I have if I did it now? Do you think Elaine would let me stay in Thompson First, with that attitude of hers?""In the end, I'd be chased out without a place to stay, and I can't suffer the humiliation of moving back with my mom and brother, can I? Hell, they might not even take me back!""So, that's a no?" Charlie pressed.Jacob smiled wryly. "At my age, even if I could, I w

Hearing that Elaine was threatening suicide, Claire exclaimed urgently, "Take me to her now!"The traffic police officer quickly nodded. "Come on!"As the traffic police officer quickly led Claire to Elaine, Charlie arrived just then and gave chase after leaving the luggage by the entrance.Stopping them, he asked, "Excuse me, officer—where's the gentleman who came with Madam Parker? May I see him?""And who are you?" The traffic police officer asked."I'm his son-in-law," Charlier replied. "I was thinking that while my wife talks to her mom, I can talk to my father-in-law, make peace, and take them both home.""Oh, that'd be great!"The traffic police officer exclaimed and quickly beckoned at a colleague, "Come over. Take this gentleman to Jacob Wilson!""Okay!" The other traffic police officer was also quite enthusiastic.Charlie entered the room where Jacob was first, immediately seeing a disfigured Jacob taking deep puffs of his cigarette.Another traffic police officer w

Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6415
Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway
