Chapter 9
Everyone in the hallway was astonished when they heard that Victor’s mentor was none other than the most famous miracle doctor in Silverbank City, Simon
ntact Simon before, but there were so many people seelding Simon’s help that he couldn’t get an Taking Phillip as an example, he had asked someone to contact appointment at all. If he could use Victor’s identity as Simon’s apprentice to invite Simon, he would easily be able to bring him over.
“Is this true? Dr. Brooke is your mentor?” Phillip asked with hope in his voice.
“Of course!” In his time in the alterative medicine Geld, what he took the most pride in was having Simon as his living endorsement. Since becoming Simon’s apprentice, Victor’s income skyrocketed, and his connections had shifted from ordinary people to the elite.
“Mr. Pane, please don’t worry. I’ll contact my mentor right away “Victor said
As Victor walked away, the hospital’s attending physician quickly chimed in, “I’ve heard that Dr. Brooke’s medical skills are exceptional, and even our in–house alternative medicine experts have to seek his guidance with humility.”
That statement was undoubtedly an official endorsement. Simon’s skills could not be lacking if even the hospital’s expects sought his advice.
“Mr. Reed, only someone of your stature would be able to bring in someone like Dr. Brooke! I wasn’t expecting that.” Phillip was already showing immense gratitude as he held onto Brandon’s hand even though Simen hadn’t shown up yet. The mere fact that Brandon could bring in Simon was enough for Phillip to treat him with such respect..
This made Serena so angry that she was speechless. Had she known that inviting Simon could make Phillip so happy, she wouldn’t have brought Ethan troubles could have been sorted if she had just given Säinona call.
All her
With her family’s relationship with Simon, he would be practically available at a moment’s notice for her. Unfortunately, it was now too late for that.
“Alright, Mr. Pane. Dr. Brooke said he just happens to be nearby and will come over immediately.” Victor returned from his call and intentionally glanced at Ethan
Victor then jeered, “The youths nowadays are too bold with their claims. Did you think that just because you learned a few tricks from some self–taught village doctor, you could be this arrogant? You need to understand that this is a matter of life and death. You can’t just make jokes about it‘
That’s not entirely fair to say. Maybe he was forced to step in because someone was so antious about the contract?” Brandon added fuel to the fire. Although he never mentioned Serena, every word was a subtle mockery aimed at her
It was a rare opportunity to embarrass Serena as much as possible. This was part of their business rivalry, and today, the victory belonged to Victor.
Ethan scotted loudly. “I was wondering who you were bringing in Turns out it’s that old man, Simon ”
Ethan honestly did not expect Simon to have such an incompetent apprentice. Not only were Victor’s medical skills lacking, but he was also malding enemies everywhere. Simon was probably often let down by him.
“Watch your tongue! Please show some respect for my mentor,” Victor piped up. “He’s Silverbank City’s miracle doctor. Consider yourself lucky that you can see him in person today. Otherwise, you’d never even have the chance! just be thankful for your luck and keep quiet.”
“I’m definitely enjoying this moment right now.” Ethan nodded. He wasn’t angry. Instead, he tumed to Phillip and reminded him, “You didn’t want to take it when given the chance. So, don’t regret it later, yeah?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve ever done anything I’ve regretted,” Phillip replied. “Even if Dr. Brooke can’t do anything for my mother today, I’ll never have any regrets.”
Ethan gave Phillip a big smile and a thumbs–up upon hearing his convicted tone and firm decision. He said, “Alright, since we’ve said all that needed to be said, there’s no point in staying here any longer. Let’s go, Serena”
Erhan disregarded Serena’s mood at the moment and dragged her toward the stairs by the hand. Lily took a look at the group outside the hospital ward in silence, and then she sighed mysteriously. It was as if she was teeling frustrated about the grave mistake they had just made.
Phillip and his group watched un as the three left. Among the people who were waiting outside the ward with Ethan and the others earlier, someone couldn’t help but whisper, “Mr. Panr, while you were all inside with your mother, we overheard that kid talking. It seems Dr. Brooke is his apprentice!”
“Bullshar!” Victor immediately couldn’t hold back. “Who do you think my mentor is? Others seek him out to be his apprentice, not the other way around!
“Besides, air you having trouble with your eyesight? How old is that did? Even if he did have some medical skills, how good could they be? Do you really the bullshit he said about my mentor being his apprentice?”
ly believe
If Simon’s mentor was Ethan, then that would mean that Victor would be a junior to Ethan. That made no sense at all and was utterly impossible. Plus, Victor had never heard of Simon having any so–called mentor
“Dr. Shere, please don’t take it to heart. There’s no need to argue over a young man. Whether it was Phillip or Victor, who were both well into their 40s, a 20 something like Erhan was just a child in their eyes. Phillip did not take the person’s words seriously at all
Soun, Sunen, who received the invitation from Victor, rushed to the hospital. After understanding the patient’s condition, he went inside the ward to begin treatment
rexperts who were on duty were alerted of Simon’s arrival. Within a few minutes, many doctors gathered outside the ward.
Although they were considered experts in the field of alternative medicine, they all admitted that they couldn’t treat cancer. To be more precise, none of the confidence.
So, when they heard that Simon was coming to treat a cancer patient, everyone wanted to come and see for themselves.
Phillip, Brandon, and the others stood by a comer in the hospital ward, watching quietly.
of them had
The entire treatment process lasted about half an hour. Simon gently wiped away the sweat on his forehead and removed the last silver needle from the patient in
“I’m sorry, Mr Pane. Your mother’s condition is already at actical stage. My medical skills air truly limited, and there’s nothing n
more I cando for her,” Simon
Although Phillip had mentally prepared himself for this, hearing II come from Simon was still a huge blow to him. All his hopes had been shattered. It even Simon, Silverbank City’s most sought–after miracle doctor, couldn’t do anything, it seemed fate had decided that it was time for his mother to go
“It’s alright. Dr. Brooke. I’m already extremely grateful that you could come personally,” Phillip said in resignation. “This is cancer, after all, not some small Illness that can be easily treated.”
Although he said that, he still felt horrible when he tuned to look at his unconscious mother on the hospital bed. He felt he was a useless son when he thought about how his mother could only lie in bed, waiting for death.
“Dr. Brooke, wasn’t there a cancer patient you cured before? Victor hurriedly asked Simon for confirmation upon Brandon’s urging. He hoped that even if a cute wasn’t possible, there would be at least some effect. “Is there truly no other way you can help Mr. Pane’s mother?”
Victor thought back to the confident promises he had made earlier, and he felt embarrassed as nothing had helped after all the effort he had put in
“The patient I treated had early–stage cancer. This lady has last–stage cancer, and her condition is very bad,” Simon said. “To put it bluntly, she may not have many days left.”
These words added salt to Phillip’s wounds. I even simony said this, it seemed he would have to start preparing for his mother’s funeral. But just as he was feeling discouraged, Simon spoke up, his tone different from before. “But I could invite someone to come take a look: Perhaps he would have a solution.”
“Who?” Phillip Lifted his head suddenly, his eyes once again shining with hope. “Dr. Brooke, you know someone who can treat my mother?” Simon nodded and said, “My mentor!”
