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
This was because in this country, even when the president comes to power, the last sentence that he would have to say in his inaugural oath of office was ‘God bless America’.Therefore, believing in God was political correctness here. Even if you really did not believe in it, you could not deny its existence. So, Smith was suddenly embarrassed, and he stammered, “God is more of a faith and guidance for us. How can a mere unpatented Oskian medicine be compared with God?!”Jenny said coldly, “I know that there is no God in your heart because you do not believe in God at all!” “No!” It seemed as though Smith had been exposed, and he said in a high-pitched voice, “You know that I go to church with you every week and I pray to God every day. So, how can you say that I do not believe in God?! I just don’t believe in this Oskian medicine!” Jenny responded rather harshly, “Don't think that I don't know that every time you go to church with me, your heart is always very perfunc
Smith was also a little shocked.However, he was slightly calmer compared to his wife. So, he immediately held out two fingers and gestured in front of his son before he asked, “Jimmy, can you see how many fingers Daddy is holding out right now?” Jimmy nodded and said, “Two fingers. I can see it.” Smith was immediately ecstatic, and he replaced it with three fingers as he asked again, “And what about now?!” “It's three fingers...” Smith instantly burst into tears out of excitement, and he choked up as he said, “Oh, my God! You can really see...” Jenny, who was aside, was even more excited, and she looked at the box of Apothecary Restoration Pills in her hand and spoke up as she said, “This medicine is simply amazing! Jimmy has only eaten it a couple of minutes ago, and not only has his hearing been restored, but his vision is also beginning to restore itself slowly... This... is really incredible!” Smith could not help but feel surprised as well as he said,
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
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.
Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soil—wouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y
And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had said—even if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th
