"Actually, the doctor I found is Professor Henry Turner."Philip decided to tell her in the end.Wynn's movements froze partway through searching up the name on her phone. She looked at him in disbelief. He had contacted Professor Henry Turner?After a brief moment of shock, her expression turned a little strange. She looked at Philip and said coldly, "Philip Clarke, can you stop joking at a time like this?"Of course she did not believe him. That was the Professor Henry Turner, the juggernaut of the medical field, a legendary heart specialist. He was renowned both domestically and internationally. How could Philip ever get him on their side?So Wynn just assumed that he was trying to console her."Believe me, Wynn, I really did manage to get Professor Turner. I also…" Philip tried to explain. However…Suddenly, there was a cold sarcastic laugh behind him. "You sure know how to bluff, Philip. Do you really think you could reach Professor Turner? You? Even if you want t
There was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties behind Martha. She was very fashionably dressed, a little on the plump side. She had a red LV bag, a jade bangle, a gold chain, and even a stylish older-lady perm.Everyone could feel her aura the moment she walked in. She oozed luxury!That was Martha’s second older sister, Philip and Wynn’s second aunt.Her name was Paula Yates, and she was the second eldest daughter in the family.Martha had never liked her second older sister.The two of them would get into catfights every time they met, over the same old things.Paula had a daughter who married a rich husband. The man had his own company and good connections in society, so Paula’s social status rose accordingly. Life was pretty good for her now.It was obvious in the way she dressed. She reeked of money.It was as though she wanted to wear all of her fortunes wherever she went, so that everyone would envy her.Case in point, Paula gave Philip the stink eye as soon as
Philip’s voice was not loud. He smiled at them apologetically.Even so, his words left everyone in the room stunned.Martha especially looked at him like he was a ghost. She felt terrible all over, and she burst out swearing, “Damn you, Philip, no one asked you! Get the hell out!”Martha was beside herself with fury.Philip was such a blabbermouth.“Compare yourself to Paula’s son-in-law! Do you think you have any right to speak?” Martha roared at Philip furiously.“If you weren’t so useless, would I embarrass myself in front of my family like this? I must have been blind to accept a useless piece of trash like you as my son-in-law back then!“Look at her son-in-law, look what he bought for her! What about you? Have you ever bought me anything? How can you say such nonsense on top of that? If you want to go to the party, you can go by yourself! I’m not going!”As Martha howled at him, Philip lowered his head helplessly.It seemed his mother-in-law was dead certain that he was
Behind him, Martha roared, “If you leave now, Philip Clarke, don’t ever come back! What’s a useless piece of trash like you pretending to be all capable?”However, Philip simply ignored her.He made Wynn a promise, and he was going to keep it.As soon as he walked out of the hospital door, he was given a jolt by the honk from a car horn.It was a BMW X8, top of the line. Juan sat in the car, his expression cool and arrogant.Philip frowned slightly and walked over to him, asking him coldly, “What do you want?”Juan got out of the car and took off his sunglasses, putting them in his front shirt pocket. “Pfft,” he said with a laugh. “I was so embarrassed for you in the room just now. How did you manage to hold on for so long?”So he was only here to jeer at Philip. Philip could not be bothered to entertain him, so he just turned to leave.However, Juan stood in his way, taunting Philip. “It’s been three years, Philip. What have you given Wynn? Let go, and give her a divorce. I’
Wynn blinked. Philip said that as though he knew.How would Philip Clarke of all know who Professor Turner’s patient was?“Alright, I know you’re trying to make me feel better, but since Professor Turner isn’t free right now, we’ll just have to wait,” Wynn said with some impatience.However, Philip smiled and said, “Wynn, do you trust me?”Wynn looked at him suspiciously. It truly felt to her like he was slightly different today, as though he had a little more confidence than he did before.“You’re my husband. If I don’t trust you, who should I trust?” she said with a small smile.Well, that was what she said but it was actually just lip service. When it came to this matter, she trusted Juan a tad more.After all, Juan was rich, powerful, and well-connected. He was even the one who pleaded with Professor Turner to get Mila a fighting chance.Nevertheless, she did not want to hurt Philip by saying that to his face, so she told him a little white lie.Philip was no fool, either.
They needed at least two billion in investments this time!Henry could afford that much himself, but he could not possibly contribute so much at once. He would require approval and red tape from all parties.That was why the medical developments in the country could not keep up with those from overseas.Now that Mr. Clarke had agreed to invest that amount, though, that would speed up domestic research by at least five years!Five whole years!That would take so much blood, sweat, and tears from so many diligent medical personnel.Henry Turner knew very well how much every medical researcher toiled away behind the scenes, doing what looked like mundane and meaningless experiments.That was why he was so grateful.It was not just him, either. His students in the room were extremely excited too.They knew that their teacher had brought them here and treated this man to a meal for a reason.They needed to find someone who was willing to donate two billion.That was not a small s
Philip frowned deeply, frost in his eyes.Aiden patted Philip’s shoulder proudly and said, “I bet you’ll never guess this. It’s already this late in the night, and yet Wynn suddenly invited me to meet here!”Hahaha!That felt amazing!Aiden was ecstatic to see just how ugly Philip’s complexion would turn!Any man would fly off the handle to hear that his wife was meeting another man this late at night.However, Philip just smiled calmly and said, “Oh, and your point is?”He was cool and collected, as though it did not concern him at all.Aiden felt like he was getting an aneurysm.How could Philip stand something like that?“What the f*ck, Clarke! Your wife is secretly meeting me, so why aren’t you mad at all? Don’t you think we might do something a little more after dinner? Aren’t you worried?”Aiden’s words were like arrows shot to the heart.Any normal man would be raring for a fight after that.However, Philip was different.He trusted Wynn, wholly and unconditionall
A slender figure immediately walked up to them. Slap!There was the crisp sound of an unhesitating slap, hitting Philip right across the face. The pain was instant and unbearable. Wynn's face was flushed red with fury. She glared at Philip, yelling, "What on earth were you trying to do, Philip Clarke?!"The first thing she saw as soon as she walked through the door was Philip about to punch Aiden.Of course Wynn was furious!She had invited Aiden out here today so she could borrow one million from him for Mila's surgery fee. If they made an enemy out of Aiden now, where else was she going to find the money?Her parents had left them completely out to dry. They told her in no uncertain terms that they would not give her a single cent unless she divorced Philip.That was why Wynn had no other choice. The only people she could think of were Juan and Aiden.She glared at Philip and then turned around. When she saw that Aiden's nose was bleeding, her anger only intensified. S
