Jason was so shocked and scared that his pompous and cocky disguise was dismantled right there and then. He knelt and cried, “Joe, I’m sorry. Please, I beg you, please forgive me. I won’t do it again, please…”
Joe smirked, “Hmm, I thought you were quite adept, no? I’m just a deadbeat loser, why are you begging me for mercy?”
Jason wailed pathetically, his tears and snot covered his face messily. “Joe, please, I’m sorry! I’m the deadbeat loser! I’m the biggest deadbeat loser in the world! Please spare my life, please forgive me…”
Joe kicked him out of his way and said coldly, “You ignored me yesterday, so I’m stepping on you today! Get lost!”
Then, he shouted to Albert, “What are you waiting for?!”
Albert trembled slightly and ordered his men, “What the fuck are you waiting for? I’ll throw you out of the window, you idiot!”
Don Albert’s men lifted Jason up immediately and threw him out of the window. It was followed by a series of agonizing screams.
Claire covered her mouth in disbelief. Her heart was pounding vigorously and her mind went blank.
They were on the third floor. What if they killed him?
She and Elaine rushed to the window and looked down.
Fortunately, Jason was still alive. He was laying on the lawn, clutching his legs and screaming constantly. Luckily for him as well that they were at the hospital, so the doctors and nurses rushed to his side and sent him to the emergency unit immediately.
Claire heaved a sigh of relief upon the scene. She was a little disgusted and irritated by Jason’s constant pestering and his repeated insults towards Joe. Now that his legs were obviously broken, he wouldn’t be able to pester her again and it was quite a relief for her.
In the midst of the commotion, Joe went to Anthony quietly, retrieved the second batch of the pill from his pocket, and whispered, “Mr. Simmons, I need your help. You’ll be the one to treat my father-in-law later and give him this pill.”
In fact, on their way to the hospital, Joe had planned to treat his father-in-law himself. He was positively certain that his pill could heal a spinal injury with ease.
However, after he arrived at the hospital, he found out that Jason was there with Dr. Lynch and Elaine would definitely stop him from interfering with their involvement. Besides, he worried that the magical elixir that came out of nowhere would raise suspicion and it would be hard for him to explain himself.
Now that Anthony was here, he was the convenient shield to handle the matter. Anthony’s reputation and stature would be an excellent cover-up for Jacob’s treatment. After all, it was more credible if the medical miracle was created in his hands.
Anthony understood his concerns, yet he couldn’t help but be surprised. “Master Smith, a spinal injury is commonly complex regardless of Chinese or Western medical treatment and there’s no way to cure it by far. Are you sure your magical elixir will work?”
Then, he showed an apologetic expression and continued, “Pardon me, Master Smith. I don’t mean to doubt your pill, but I don’t get it, it’s beyond my understanding…”
Joe said flatly, “Don’t worry, this pill can repair the damage to his spine.”
Anthony exclaimed in shock, “Wow, in that case, it will be a medical miracle if your father-in-law is cured. It’ll shake the world if the news gets out and I wouldn’t dare take such prestigious credit…”
Joe smiled. “You should know that I don’t seek fame and honor. Besides, I’m not in the medical profession and I’m not a suitable candidate to do such things. You, on the other hand, are a different case. If you can cure spinal injury with Chinese medicine, it will be a tremendous miracle to the Chinese medicine field. The world will view Chinese medicine differently and will pay utmost respect and admiration to you and the field, so please don’t refuse my request.”
Anthony pondered upon his words. He nodded, accepted the pill, and said, “Master Smith, thank you for the opportunity!”
Joe quickly said as if something abruptly struck his mind, “Oh yes, by the way, only half the pill is needed to treat spinal injuries. You can keep the remaining half.”
Anthony trembled in shock…
Did he hear him correctly? Only half a pill was enough for a spinal injury-induced quariplegic? This… this was amazing!
The more exciting part was that Joe was actually giving him the remaining half of the pill…
It…it was simply the greatest reward ever!
He had taken the pill that Master Smith had given him and was grateful for it. The pill had treated the old injuries he had sustained for his entire life, but his fate with the magical elixir only lasted for a while. Everyone still had the pill with them except for him.
Although feeling a bit regretful, he was embarrassed to ask from Joe again before he could repay his kindness. But now, Joe actually wanted to give him the remaining half of the pill!
He was extremely excited and moved by his generous gesture! With the half portion, he would have one more life-saving elixir in the future! Anthony was so excited that he wanted to kneel before Joe to thank him.
Anthony choked for a bit and nodded. “Master Smith, thank you for your generosity and kindness. I’ll forever be in your debt!”
Joe looked at him warmly and said, “Alright, hurry up and begin your treatment. My wife is very anxious now.”
Indeed, Claire was very worried about her father’s situation.
She didn’t expect that Dr. Joshua Lynch, whom Jason had invited, to actually be a quack doctor.
Now that Joshua had been exposed, who could she find in Aurous Hill to heal his father?
Joe brought Anthony to her and said, “Claire, this is Dr. Anthony Simmons, a famous doctor. He can cure Dad’s injury.”
Claire and Elaine were overjoyed when they heard it! They never thought that Anthony Simmons, the renowned doctor in the country, would be willing to treat Jacob.
Claire hurriedly said, “Dr. Simmons, thank you for your help!”
