The doctor cleared his throat and started in an awkward tone, “Throughout my years as a doctor, I’ve never heard of sudden impotence… This disorder has a sequential process. It is okay at first, and then, its performance starts to deteriorate slowly.
Then, gradually and eventually, it becomes dysfunctional…”
Kenneth’s face turned into an ugly shade of red as he didn’t expect the doctor to describe the disorder in such a detailed manner, and he shouted, “Are you a fucking idiot? I asked you to check me! I don’t need a lecture right now! Shut up and do your job!”
His blunt remarks enraged the doctor, and he blurted, “What is wrong with you? I told you that your case is not under our care.
Shout at me again and I’ll ask the security guards to throw you out of here!”
“You…” Kenneth grit his teeth furiously. After a short pause, he pointed at the computer and said coldly, “You, google Modestway Group!”
“Huh?” The doctor frowned in confusion.
“I want you to google the Modestway Group!”
The doctor was stunned by his crude attitude, but his hands went over the mouse and keyboard reflexively, opening the browser and starting searching the Modestway Group.
When he clicked into the company’s website, he saw the portrait of its chairman, Kenneth Wilson.
Huh? The man in the picture looked very similar to the grouchy man sitting in front of him.
Oh, shit! He was a big-shot…
The doctor switched his attitude and tone to a milder version and said respectfully, “Oh, Mr. Wilson, welcome to our humble hospital. I’m sorry for not recognizing you, please forgive me…”
Then, he quickly said, “Well, please tell me again what happened, and I’ll see if I can arrange for you to be admitted to the hospital right away and have a specialist check on you.”
Kenneth’s expression softened a little bit, but he was still grumpy. “Nothing happened in between. It was fine yesterday, and then suddenly, it became unresponsive today.”
The doctor asked curiously, “Is it totally unresponsive?”
“Yes!” Kenneth growled gloomily, “Totally, completely!”
“Hmm, maybe it has something to do with the nervous system. Mr. Wilson, I’ll ask the neurologist to come and check on you right away, is that okay?”
Kenneth waved his hand in irritation. “Hurry!”
The doctor hurriedly called his colleague at the inpatient department to arrange the test and admission to the hospital. After all, at this hour, all the outpatient doctors had already gotten off work. The only doctors available at the moment were the inpatient department and the doctors on the night shift.
Coincidentally, one of the doctors who were on duty tonight was the attending doctor when Jacob had suffered the spinal injury a few days ago. The doctor donned a serious expression as he performed a series of tests on Kenneth and looked at the various results.
Laying on the examination bed, fear and horror flooded Kenneth’s mind.
He couldn’t feel his manhood at all, almost as if it had disappeared into thin air. He closed his eyes and shuddered in dismay.
He had always been active sexually. If his manhood was completely useless, he might as well just die…
Sensing the unusual silence and intensity, Kenneth asked, “Doctor, how is it?”
The doctor shook his head helplessly and answered, “Mr. Wilson, I’m afraid that we can’t fix your problem. Based on our test and results, it shows that you suffer a disorder that we call penile necrosis, which means the nerves around your penis have suffered irreversible damage. I’m so sorry.”
“Could it be that your hospital is not good enough?” Christopher asked.
The doctor squinted at him in annoyance and said, “With the current medicine and technology, we can cure the damaged nerves and let it slowly recover, but we can’t do anything about the necrotic nerves. It’s like encountering a car accident. Some people can recover slowly, but some will never stand again.”
Then, he turned his glance back toward Kenneth and said in a solemn tone, “In your case, no one in the world can do anything about it. It can’t be cured.”
“What?! Argh! How can this be!!!”
Kenneth’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He blurted in despair, “I have money! Ten million! Is it enough? Can you cure my manhood with ten million dollars?!”
Again, the doctor said seriously, “Nerves are like human life. Even if you’re dying, there is still a chance to save you, but if you’re dead, you’re dead. No one can bring the dead back to life.”
Then, he continued, “Ten million, you say? You can’t bring the dead to life even if you have all the money in the world. Look at Steve Jobs. He was a very rich man, wasn’t he? Still, he died from pancreatic cancer when he was in his 50s!”
Kenneth’s heart skipped a beat. He was in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning.
Was that it?!
Did the doctor mean to say that he would be impotent for the rest of his life?!
After all those years of hard work, he had made so much money so that he could enjoy his lavish and free life after his retirement!
If his manhood forever malfunctioned, what else was there for him to stay alive?
As the thought ran through his mind, the renowned business tycoon, Kenneth Wilson, covered his face and wept loudly, tears streaming down his face.
Christopher, who was watching the scene, felt hot flashes in his eyes and almost burst into tears as well.
As a man, he could understand Kenneth’s pain very much.
At the same time, he clutched his legs tightly and thought to himself that he would protect his manhood no matter what it took! A man was not a man when his little brother was useless!
Just then, the doctor suddenly said, “By the way, Mr. Wilson, honestly speaking, I think that there may be someone who can cure your disorder!”
“What? Really?!” Kenneth shrieked excitedly. He grabbed the doctor’s hands and said in a stuttering voice, “Who… who is it? Tell me!”
The doctor donned a mysterious smile. “He does not work in our hospital!”
“Then how do you know that he can cure nerve necrosis?! Didn’t you just say that it is irreversible?”
“Yes, indeed, but only he can cure it! He cured a patient who was paralyzed from the neck down. I saw it with my own eyes! I bet your case is a piece of cake for him since you’re only paralyzed ‘locally’.”
Kenneth couldn’t hide his excitement any longer. He blurted out, “Who is he? Where is he? Tell me now!”
The doctor smiled. “Mr. Wilson, I can introduce him to you, but don’t you think a referral fee should be in place?”
