Chapter 7
A young man about the same age as Serena was the person who spoke up. He was also the head of a rival company to Serena’s, and his name was Brandon Reed. Itis family botiness was also one of the top players in Silverbank City. Whether it was out in the open or behind closed doors, they often had business battles with the Walker family.
Even the attending physician nodded in agreement at Brandon’s suggestion of bringing in a doctor who specialized in alternative medicine. “Indeed, with modem medicine, the treatment plans left available for your mother are extremely limited, and the resultscan’t be guaranteed. If you have a trusted alterative medicine doctor, perhaps it’s worth aty.
it the doctor could, he certainly wanted to cure the patient. But there were no other choices as this was the reality; there was nothing else he could do. It was better to respect the family’s decision and try different approaches, rather than letting the patient pass away with regrets lett behind
“When will the miracle doctor arrive, then?” Hope reignited in thillip’s eyes like he had clutched a life
“Don’t worry, Mr. Pane. He’s already on the way after I made souse arrangements. He’ll be here anytime soon,” Brandon said.
“Good. It doesn’t matter if he can cure my mother. It he can even just stabilize her condition and get the cancer undercontrol, we’ll sign the contract we discussed Immediately!” Phillip sand eagerly.
In the world of business, it all came down to profit. Phillip was very clear on what firandon wanted. It was precisely his talent in this matter that helped him climb to his cument position, step by step.
But Mr. Panr. Serena instantly lost het composure. She knew very well which contract Phillip was referring to. It was most likely the project she had been personally handling.
If it had gone as planned, Phillip would have signed the deal with her for sure. But with Brandon’s interference, the contract that should have been hers would be snatched away
(as you can see, my mother’s condition is “I’m very sorry, Ms. Walker I know you’ve put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this project,” Phillip apologized. “But as you can see, temible. If Mr. Reed can truly help me, how can I refuse him? 1 value my mother more than business, so I hope youre an understand.”
It was fortunate that she had come today, or she might never have lown how she lost the contract. She wondered if she should consider Phillip despicable, but then she understood his cument situation. Brandon would be providing Phillip with the help he needed, after all
However, she still felt extremely upset and was unwilling to accept it. She had only ever experienced the feeling of having something taken from her once when she first took over the company. It had never happened again since.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Walker, 1 just happen to know a miracle doctor who has considerable expertise in cancer.” Brandon smiled, his eyes twinkling. It seemed like a simple sentence, but it was filled with provocation and mockery
If it weren’t for the current situation, Serena would have definitely retorted.
What’s wrong, Serena? Is the contract they are talking about really that important to you? As Serena tumed. Ethan’s voice came from beside her
“yes” Serena replied. “If we can secure this deal, the company under my name will double in size this year!” She wouldn’t have been personally involved if not for

“Would you like me to help you?” Erhan asked
“How?” Seteua wondered.
“Of course, by giving him a taste of his own medicine. Doesn’t he want to use the means of helping with treatment to steal your contract?” Ethan said. “I’ll cure Phillip’s mother and help you snatch the contract back”
Cancer was universally recognized as incurable. Once a person had it, there might still be some hope in the early stages, but in the late stages, it was basically a declaration of death. But as the successor to the art of healing, no matter how severe the illness, they were just problems with the body’s functions to Ethan. With adequate methods and proper care, it could be cured
“Cutout et colded. “This is cancer. Don’t stir up trouble.”
So what it it’s cancer? just brought Cindy back from the brink of death,” Ethan said. Phillip’s mother was still alive and breathing while Cindy didn’t even have a pls left before Ethan stepped in.
“My apologies, Mr. Beed There was a bit of traffic on the way.” As Ethan and Serena agad, a man and a woman walked toward them from the other end of the

“No problem. I’ll take full responsibility for all risks and consequences.” After he responded to the doctor, Phillip personally led Victor into the hospital want.
The others stayed outside the ward and watched through the glass window from the corridor. The one with the most complicated emotions was Serena. On one hand, she hoped Phillip’s mother could recover, but on the other, she didn’t want Brandon’s evil plot to succeed,
“Don’t worry, Serena. Judging from his face, he’s not a good person,” Ethan said. “He says he has the skills, but I think he only knows the basics. He’s probably not even as good as my apprentice.”
He didn’t want to act rashly without Serena’s approval and could only offer her some quiet comfort when he saw her distress.
“Eity, you actually have an apprentice? Are his medical skills very good?” Lily asked.
Lily was shocked when Ethan said earlier that he wanted to help treat the patient, and now, he said he had an apprentice. There was no way she wouldn’t be curious about Ethan
“He’s passable but definitely not as good as me.” When he thought about Simon’s attempt to rescue Cindy, he remembered how he could barely watch Simon’s techniques
“So, who is he? Does he have his own clinic, or does he work in a hospital somewhere?” Lily asked.
“That, I’m not too sure. But Serena seems to trust him a lot and calls him Dr. Brooke.” Ethan shrugged.
Lily froze when she heard the name. Her family held a certain status, so naturally, she would have heard of Dr. Brooke. He was the miracle doctor who required not just money but also connections to secure an appointment with Many in Silverbank City want to seek him out for medical treatment.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he was the top figure in Silverbank City’s alterative medicine community. Lily found it hard to believe that Ethan was telling the truth because it couldn’t be right. Dr. Brooke was already in his 60s or 70s, well into his twilight years.
“Etty, you’re not lying to me, are you? Lily asked.
“Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, ask Serena,” Ethan said.
Almost instinctively, Lily tumed to Serena in silence. Their eyes met, and though Serena was reluctant to admit it, she nodded in acknowledginent.
