“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
So, she could not help but ask Smith, “Honey, you have to find a way to get another box of the Apothecary Restoration Pills for Jimmy today! Based on the current trend, he should already be able to go home and recuperate if he takes another box of the medicine!”Speaking of this, she could not help but choke up again as she said, “Jimmy has not slept at home for three years now...”Ever since Jimmy had entered the critical stage, he had not been released from the hospital’s twenty-four hours supervision. Even when he had gone to Europe to receive treatment, he had also been sent directly from the hospital to the airport before taking a special medical charter plane directly to Europe. So, for Jenny, she would really love to be able to bring her son home.In her opinion, as long as they could ensure that her son could take the Apothecary Restoration Pill, he would certainly be able to get out of the hospital and recover properly at home.After all, to her, the credibility of the A
At this moment, Smith simply did not know that Liam had not even left him with the opportunity to kneel and grovel to apologize to him.Meanwhile, Liam was already on the flight route back to Aurous Hill.Although the speed of Charlie’s private jet was not as fast as the Concorde, the interior decoration in the private jet was not any worse than that of the Concorde. Right then, Liam was resting on the plane that was more luxurious than a five-star guest room, and he did not suffer any hardship or toil on the journey back at all.On the other hand, Smith had started utilizing his connection in the Washington Police Department early in the morning to begin investigating Liam’s place of residence. As Smith only knew how to pronounce Liam’s name without knowing the proper spelling, it took a lot of trouble for him to find it.Later, his friend from the police department then used the screening method to collect the statistics on all the Oskian male travelers who had checked into Was
Smith held his chin. ‘Strange…It does not make sense for him to pretend not to be able to hear me if he’s in the room, right? Wouldn’t that be too childish?’ Smith was helpless, and he could only continue knocking hard on the door.At this time, the door of the room beside him was pushed open. A shirtless brawny man cursed, “Are you f*cking courting your own death? What are you knocking for so early in the morning?! Do you believe that I’ll crack your head open?!”Smith could only apologize when he was faced with this kind of typical cowboy-style bearded man, “Sorry, I’m so sorry. I’ll keep my voice down. I’ll be quieter...”The brawny man pointed at him and said through clenched teeth, “Keep your voice down?! If you dare to make any more noise from now on, I’ll beat the crap out of you!”Smith hastily kept his mouth shut, and he could only keep reaching out his hand to salute the other party in a very submissive manner.It was only then that the other party finally let him go,
After hearing the sincerity in Smith’s apology, Liam put his smile away and said seriously, “Mr. Smith, although I’m indeed very dissatisfied with you, there is no need for me to lie to you. I’ve truly returned to Oskia. Can’t you hear that there is still the sound of the plane engine here? The plane that I was on has just landed, and it hasn’t stopped yet.”After that, Liam put his cell phone close to the window, and Smith, who was on the other end of the line, could immediately hear the sound of the plane engine.After Smith heard the sound of the plane engine on the other end of the phone coupled with the fact that there was no movement inside the room in front of him, he immediately realized that Liam had indeed left. In that instant, he collapsed emotionally as he covered his head and sighed, saying, “Mr. Weaver... you... why did you leave without even telling me?! At least... At the very least, give me a chance to make it up to you...”“You don’t need to make it up to me,” L
He had never been humiliated like this before in his life, but after thinking about it, he also knew, ‘How could this be considered as anyone f*cking humiliating me? This is totally me humiliating myself...’Smith was extremely depressed, and he could only shamelessly speak up for the sake of his son, “Mr. Weaver... I was wrong... Everything was all my fault! It’s all because I was blind and narrow-minded. I was ignorant...”“In short, I’m nothing more than garbage. You are a magnanimous person, so I hope that you will not hold anything against garbage like me. I simply ask for you to give my son a chance to survive on the account that he has cancer. He is only twelve years old...”Liam said seriously, “Mr. Smith, there are millions of children with cancer in this world, and many of them are even younger compared to your son. However, your son is the only one who received the Apothecary Restoration Pill. So, I think that you should learn how to be grateful and contented! Countless c
Smith was indeed feeling very uncomfortable. Liam’s subtle humiliation just now had already trampled his self-esteem into complete nothingness. Still, even if that was the case, he had still failed to get more of the Apothecary Restoration Pills.At this time, his dignity did not matter anymore as his son’s life and safety were the most important.So, Smith made a decision immediately to go over to Oskia in order to grovel in front of Liam so that he would be able to bring some of the medicine back. Right after that, he got up and left the hotel. At the same time, he called his wife and said, “Jenny, Liam Weaver had already gone back to Oskia last night. You should take good care of Jimmy. I’m going home to get my passport and head to Oskia to see him!”Jenny hurriedly said, “Take it easy first. The reason why he went back last night is certainly because he wanted to avoid you. Even if you were to go and look for him now, he definitely would not want to see you.”“What should
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
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
