However, all of this before them completely subverted their perceptions. Therefore, they could only hurry forward and conduct a detailed investigation. After their examinations, they found that the patient's hearing had indeed been restored, and the degree of his visual recovery was continuing to improve. Jimmy was only able to see an outline vaguely before but now, the clarity and brightness that he could see had improved to a certain extent. Furthermore, his physical function indicators had also improved greatly. He had been in a dying state before this but now, he was basically no longer in a life-threatening situation. The attending doctor then called the couple out of the ward and said in a very puzzled manner, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith, although I don't know the specific reason yet, according to Jimmy's current physical indicators assessment, he is temporarily out of a life-threatening condition now. As for his life cycle, we may also have a much more optimistic
After getting reprimanded by Jenny, it was not only Smith but also the attending doctor who felt a little ashamed at this time.He carefully examined the medicine, and he could not help but say, “Can I take one of these to do a testing?”“Dream on!” Jenny snatched the medicine back and blurted out, “This is my son’s life-saving medicine! No one can take it away!”When the attending doctor saw that the medicine had been snatched back, he hurriedly explained, “Mrs. Smith, don’t get me wrong. I just want to test the ingredients of this medicine to see what is so special about it. In that case, I will be able to analyze whether the improvement in Jimmy’s condition is caused by this medicine or not. We should be more rigorous since it’s science. Don’t you think so?”Jenny had an angry expression on her face as she said, “I asked you to get lost! I’m really getting sick and tired of you guys who are the so-called scientific people! The facts are right in front of you and you still do not
Liam frowned and asked him, “What’s the matter, Mr. Smith?”Smith bit the bullet and said, “Mr. Weaver, it’s like this. I gave my son the medicine that you gave me and now, my child’s condition has improved significantly. So, I wanted to ask you, if my child were to take one pill a day, how much can his situation improve? In addition, I want to ask you if this medicine can cure cancer completely or not?”Liam said, “I can’t give you a precise answer because the effect of using this medicine varies with different conditions. However, no matter how serious the cancer patient’s condition is, as long as he or she starts taking the Apothecary Restoration Pill, their condition will definitely keep improving. Even if the condition is very serious, it can surely be cured after long-term use.”After saying that, Liam then added, “I would suggest that you observe your child’s condition with the medication first and see how much your child’s condition will improve after taking this box of Apot
Liam was enlightened upon hearing Charlie’s words.He hurriedly smiled and said, “Master Wade, you’re indeed still the most resourceful when it comes to dealing with such people! If I leave now, I think that Smith will definitely want to chase us all the way to Oskia, then!”Charlie laughed and said, “He can come here if he is willing to do so, but you should not entertain him even if he were to come. Don’t pay any attention to him either if he comes to meet you.”As Charlie said that, he then added, “By the way, didn’t you have to look for a public relations company and spend a lot of money just to meet him? Make him look for a public relations company to meet you too.”Liam laughed and said, “Master Wade, we do not have such a company in Aurous Hill.”Charlie laughed in turn and said, “It does not matter. Just let Albert come out and do it part-time, then.”After saying that, Charlie said, “By the way, how much did you spend in order to meet that guy named Smith?”Liam hurried
Smith hurriedly said, “There is a significant improvement, and the doctor said that he is temporarily out of the life-threatening situation.”Liam asked, “How many pills have you given him?”“One!”Liam then said, “There are no side effects with our Apothecary Restoration Pill. If his condition is critical, you can give him more of the pills. He can take one pill every half an hour, and he can just take all seven pills today so that it can be guaranteed that he will not be in a life-threatening condition for at least the next two or three months. Otherwise, if his cancer cells continue to spread and grow, he might fall into a critical condition again soon.”Smith hurriedly asked, “If we finish all the pills today, what about tomorrow, then?”Liam said, “I’ve already told you that if he finishes all the pills today, it can at least ensure that he can continue to live for another two or three months. If his cancer cells are well-controlled, it might not be impossible for him to live
Very soon, Jimmy’s ward was filled with a large number of doctors in white coats.All the top oncologists in the entire Mayo Clinic were gathered here.Those who could enter the ward were without exception all the heads of departments and the big shots in the laboratory, whereas those with a slightly lower rank could only stand and watch in front of the large glass window outside the ward.Everyone had heard that there was a huge miracle in the ICU and that the FDA executive, Smith’s son had actually gotten a huge therapeutic effect because of an Oskian traditional medicine. It was also said that he would be monitored as he continued taking this medicine. Therefore, no one wanted to miss out on this opportunity to either witness a miracle or a rumor. At this point, Jimmy then swallowed a pill in his mouth with his mother’s help.The pill melted in his mouth once again, and Jimmy was surprised as he said, “Mom, the pill just melted in my mouth... It melted even faster than cotton
“Really?!” When Jenny heard this, she was ecstatic, and her tears fell one after the other.Although she was not a doctor or an expert in the field of medicine, she was still a top student who had graduated from the Ivy League, after all.She knew that the reason why her son could not see anything was because his optic nerve had been compressed by the tumor.So, now, she knew very well that since her son was gradually regaining his vision, this proved that the tumor that was compressing his optic nerve had, in all its probability, gone into remission!She choked up and said, “That’s great! That’s really wonderful!”The strength in Jimmy’s hands had also improved greatly and so, he struggled to lift his right hand, which had the IV infusion tube and the blood oxygen monitoring probe attached to it with great difficulty as he gently wiped the tears off the corners of his mother’s eyes and said, “Don’t cry, Mom. You should be happy that I’m getting better!”The fact that Jimmy was a
Very soon, the doctors and nurses wheeled the young Jimmy to the nuclear medicine center. After being injected with the contrast agent, Jimmy was then taken to the CT room for a full scan.Half an hour later, the scan results came back, and a large group of doctors gathered in front of the computer to review Jimmy’s latest CT images. The attending doctor simultaneously opened the images from half a month ago, and upon comparing them, he exclaimed, “This is simply too unbelievable! A large number of lesions in Jimmy’s body have actually shrunk substantially!”Since Jimmy’s cancer had already reached the end-stage, there had long been multiple metastases including tumor lesions in the lymph nodes, bone, liver, and lungs, and all of them were not small in size. The largest of them was even as big as the size of a baby’s fist.Due to the exhaustion of treatment methods, Jimmy’s cancer cells had been spreading even faster and faster, and the tumor had been growing. According to t
Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th
Jacob's brain blanked out, leaving only a dull hum as soon as Walker mentioned 'Professor Hall'.Already feeling nervous in the first place, he quickly said, "Okay, okay—I got it. Anyway, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"With that, he promptly pressed the button to hang up.Nonetheless, Elaine was soon asking in curiosity, "Who's Professor Hall?"If Jacob had any semblance of composure, he would have said 'a colleague at Senior University' as if it was perfectly natural, and the matter would have been forgotten.But the reality was that he didn't—in fact, he was the champion when it came to dropping the ball as a casual question from Elaine left him sweating all over his brow.Even as he slid nervous glances at her face, he stammered uncontrollably, "N-Nobody…"Elaine promptly noticed his strange reaction and frowned. "I'm talking about Professor Hall. What do you mean, nobody? Who are they? And what's this about an invitation? Inviting you for what?"Seeing that he was
Jacob had really had too much to drink and couldn't remember the later parts of what had happened last night—even how he had gotten home was a blur.Naturally, he also forgot that Walker had brought Matilda's wedding invitation, and therefore didn't hesitate to answer the in-car answer button.Over the phone, Walker was positively fawning as he asked, "Mr. Wilson? It's Walker. Why didn't you come in today? Had too much to drink last night?""Uh-huh," Jacob grunted, lethargic. "I did—my head still hurts now… Anyway, what's up? Trouble at the association?""No, of course not," Walker quickly said. "I was just worried you're still hungover, so I called to ask. If you need a driver or anything, you just need to ask!"Then, before Jacob could answer, he continued, "By the way, my wife is somewhat knowledgable in Oskian medicine, and she has recipes for brews that cure hangovers and nourish the liver. I'm sure you'll need the latter since you're always drinking at social events, so I as
Fortunately, Elaine and Jacob's bickering never escalated.Even though Elaine was winning, Jacob found it tolerable.After Jacob finished his lunch and cleaned up, he never looked up as he said, "Charlie sent a text, saying Claire's flight would touch down earlier at three. We will leave at two."Elaine grumbled. "Why leave so early? She's coming back from abroad, and there'd be checkpoints she has to clear—she'd be lucky if she could leave by half past three. I'm sleeping a few winks now, and we'll leave at half past two."As she left the dining room, she didn't even look back as she said, "Clean up for me too."Jacob had a million complaints but said nothing as he kept his head down, throwing Elaine's lunchbox in the trash can as well.With Elaine gone, he sat on the couch as her hangover slowly cleared while his mood soured with the lack of alcohol.In the end, the pleasure of being fawned over at the Diamond Room was but temporary—the pain of his beloved leaving with someone
Vera kept her plan to investigate the identity of the abbess deep in her mind and told Charlie nothing.Instead, she smiled as she said, "It seems that it's both yours and Ms. Ito's good fortune that she has attained enlightenment. You've never had anyone who could attain enlightenment and master Reiki at the same time, so Ms. Ito will definitely be a great help to you in the future."Charlie chuckled and said calmly, "I'm not hoping for her to help. I'm simply happy for her with her enlightenment and excited to have another comrade in my solo ventures into the dark forests."Vera nodded in understanding, and she murmured emotionally, "I've lived for so long, and it's only when I opened my heart to you that I felt that sensation you described."There was a flicker of wistfulness in her eyes.She really did not expect to attain enlightenment before meeting Charlie.Years ago, she thought that she would eventually avenge her father.Now, she no longer hoped to murder Fleur Griffi
Vera was inwardly disappointed to hear that Claire was returning.That meant there were fewer chances of Charlie visiting the Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, as were her chances of seeing him again.Still, she didn't let it show, instead asking casually, "How are things at Champs Elys? Are the warriors improving at a rate to your satisfaction?""Well, most of everyone's improvement is within expectations…" Charlie explained, just as he remembered a certain someone. "By the way, there's something I haven't told you yet. Are you perhaps acquainted with the name Ito Nanako?""Yes," Vera smiled. "The Japanese lady who was with you. What about her?""She attained enlightenment days ago.""Enlightenment?" Vera did a double take and soon pressed, "Enlightenment in what sense? Essential Qi or Reiki?"After all, the former was the path to enlightenment in martial arts, while the latter meant enlightenment in cultivation.But despite the distinction between both domains, enlightenment was a comm
While Charlie had long since gotten used to Elaine and Jacob's bizarre marriage, being near the heart of the storm still took a toll on his senses—to the point that he felt physically sick.Leaving right away was therefore his best solution.Once he left, however, he realized he didn't have anywhere to go. Champs Elys was quite far, and it would take a lot of time.As he started to feel bored stiff, he remembered Vera for some reason and called her.Once Vera answered, she quickly asked in curiosity, "To what do I owe the pleasure? Lunch, perhaps?"Charlie chuckled. "Since you've put it that way… I haven't eaten either, so lunch it is!"Vera giggled. "Come over to my place, then. It's cold outside, and I was just lighting up a hot pot. I'll have Madam Marilyn prepare an additional portion.""Okay!" Charlie agreed to it without hesitation. "I can return her car too. Just wait, I'll be right there!"Once he hung up, he got on the Rolls Roycs he had borrowed from Scarlet Pinnacl
Charlie shook his head. "It's alright, Dad. You can go ahead if you're busy—I can pick up Claire on my own.""No way!" Elaine promptly snapped. "It's been so long since she came back. We are all going to the airport!"Jacob sighed in exasperation. "Well, I'm sticking to my schedule—first the Calligraphy and Painting Association, then I'll be back an hour before to pick you guys up before going together to the airport."Elaine was left fuming. "Is there no getting through to you? You really have to go to that stupid association, don't you? Okay, fine. If you must go, I will be going with you!""You're their honored vice president who will be promoted to president soon, no? As Mrs. Vice President and the future Mrs. President, is there an issue if I went for a look?"Jacob shuddered at the thought of Elaine going to the Calligraphy and Painting Association as he absolutely didn't want her to humiliate him with her antics. People would talk, asking how a proper gentleman like him c
Jacob yawned, stretching his arms and smacking his cheeks, before finally retorting in contempt, "For Pete's sake, woman—don't make dissing me a habit. Or does it please you so much?"Elaine pursed her lips. "You call that dissing? It's all facts—do you think I don't know you? Tell me, what qualifications do you have? Your knowledge about calligraphy is skin-deep, and even the frauds working on Antique Street could beat you.""Only you would have the audacity to take the role of vice president at the Calligraphy and Painting Association—heaven's above, how blind is the president to appoint you as his second fiddle? Still, you'll be packing your things as soon as he realizes the truth.""Oh, Elaine, poor Elaine…" Jacob grinned smugly at her right then. "I'm afraid things won't go the way you want. Mr. Bay's been chasing a promotion lately, and once he gets it, I will take his place as president. That means I'll be the top dog instead of second fiddle!""Bullshit!" Elaine snapped in
