Chapter 2329
As Doris listened to Dr. Spears illustrate the case, she carefully recalled her father’s activities and said, “Dr. Spears, I have never seen my father take any unknown drugs after his illness worsened nor did I see him take any traditional medicine, let alone Dutchman’s pipe.”Then, she added, “Overall, he was in excellent health after his last kidney transplant with a relatively mild form of diabetes, so he had been taking metformin extended-release tablets, but that drug does not do harm to the kidneys and will not cause acute kidney failure.”Dr. Spears nodded and said, “I understand. Dutchman’s pipe is just an example, but there are a lot of traditional medicinal ingredients out there that can trigger acute kidney failure, not just Dutchman’s pipe. There are many chemicals and organic compounds that have great nephrotoxicity.”Doris asked, “Dr. Spears, is there any way to find out exactly what caused my father’s acute kidney failure?”Dr. Spears said, “I’ve sent your father’s b

As soon as Doris answered the call, she said respectfully, “Yes, Young Master. What can I do for you?”Charlie answered with a smile, “Oh, I just wanted to continue what we left off yesterday. Are you free tonight? If you are, come to Mr. Quinton’s house for a get-together. You all came to my house during New Year’s Eve, but I haven’t gotten the chance to treat you all to a meal since the New Year, and I feel quite sorry about it.”Doris managed a bitter smile and said, “Oh, Young Master. It was our pleasure. Don’t mention it.”Charlie laughed. “I have to. It’s a matter of courtesy! I’ve prepared a small gift for everyone. It’s not worth any money, but it’s a small token of appreciation. If you have the time, come over. However, if you’re not free, it’s okay. I’ll pass you the gift later.”Doris hurriedly said, “Oh no, Young Master, I can’t let you do that. How about this? Please let me know the time and venue, I’ll drop by in the evening.”Charlie said, “Very well, then. I’ll mes

Edmund’s remarks made Doris’s heart skip a beat. The strong sense of oppression made her feel like she was about to suffocate.Although she was very disgusted and even found Edmund’s offer extremely repulsive, she also knew that the kidney source Edmund had secured in the United States was the only source she knew of that could match her father’s blood type. This was the only choice she had for the time being.If someone else bought the kidney, she would lose all hope.Doris had studied in the United States back then, so she knew the situation in the country very well.Compared to Oskia, the overall degree of rule of law in the States was relatively loose.Not only were guns and drugs easily accessible, but even the trade in human organs was unregulated.If a person wanted to sell his kidney, he could complete the kidney removal surgery even in a veterinary clinic. Everything was very easy and smooth.This also meant that if the donor found a suitable seller, he could sell his k

After a long moment of silence, Doris said, “Edmund, if I agree to be your lover and go to work for your company, can you promise me that you will not force me to reveal any business secrets of Emgrand Group?”Edmund frowned in dismay when he heard this and asked, “You’re just a manager in the company. Why should you be so loyal to them?”Doris replied earnestly, “It’s my professional ethics!”Edmund sneered, “Doris, there are three things about you that are valuable to me. Number one, your body. Number two, your ability. And number three, your mastery of the core secrets of Emgrand Group. For me, these three elements of yours are equally important!”Doris ground her teeth and asked, “Edmund, do you really have to do this? I can promise you all those nasty conditions you offer, but can’t you leave room for me to bargain?”Edmund laughed, “Of course you can bargain, but there has to be a minimum principle. For example, I insist on the three aforementioned elements, but we can discu

After Edmund had said that, he turned around and left the ward.Doris trembled uncontrollably out of anger and frustration as she stared at Edmund’s back as he left.Her mother, Faith, walked forward with tears all over her face as she took Doris’s hand. She choked up and said, “Forget it, Doris. Just give up. I cannot watch you jump straight into Edmund’s trap just like that…”Doris’s eyes choked up, and tears began flowing down her face unknowingly as she said, “Mom! Dad does not have much time left now… If we cannot get this kidney source, perhaps within half a month…”Faith slapped Doris’s hand a few times. Although she was in a lot of pain and grief, she said resolutely, “Your dad and I have already lived for more than fifty years now. Over the past fifty years, we have lived very full, happy, and prosperous lives. We are already very satisfied. So, even if your dad were to leave just like this, I would not have any regrets in my heart. After all, the both of us have already t

Aurora had also specially driven him around the lake on a speedboat back then.However, as the weather at this time was still cold, the scenery by the lakeside was more or less rather dull and depressing. It was not as lush and vibrant as the last time when he had come by.Therefore, Charlie said to Graham in passing, “Mr. Quinton, the vitality of this villa is a little lacking during the winter. Although the trees and grassland here are only withered temporarily, in terms of Feng Shui, they are still considered as dead objects. So, it would be better for you not to live here before spring begins because it will certainly have a little impact on your body and fortune.”When Graham heard this, he immediately said, “Oh! Thank you for your reminder, Master Wade! If that is the case, we will move back to the city tomorrow, then!”Aurora subconsciously asked, “Dad, why don’t we buy a villa at the Thompson First community, then? That place is not only big, but we can also be neighbors wi

Charlie handed the two wooden boxes over to Graham under Graham’s watchful gaze. After that, he said, “Mr. Quinton, these two pills inside these two wooden boxes are a small token from me. The one on the right is slightly larger and darker in color. That is the Healing Pill that I gave to all of you before this. As for the slightly smaller and brighter pill on the left, it is the Rejuvenating Pill that I have just refined this time.”Graham was so excited that he was completely at a loss for words. He said in a trembling voice, “Master… Master Wade… how could I be worthy of such a valuable and precious Rejuvenating Pill?! This… this Rejuvenating Pill could easily be sold for two to three billion dollars if you were to put it up for auction in the market. It is… it is really too expensive…”Although Graham had been longing for the Rejuvenating Pill for the longest time, he understood very well that the value of the Rejuvenating Pill was simply too high and expensive. It was far more v

The only reason why the purple ginseng had been sold for a sky-high price of one hundred million dollars during the last auction was entirely because Charlie had deliberately raised the price of the purple ginseng to provoke Kenneth Wilson on purpose. Even if Graham were to truly be a shareholder who had invested in the batch of pills, he could not possibly be expecting a return of two to three billion dollars in exchange for four to five million dollars. Therefore, no matter what it was, Charlie was doing him a great favor simply by giving the Rejuvenating Pill to him.As he thought about this, Graham stood up immediately as he stepped forward and fell to his knees. He clasped his hands together before he said respectfully, “Master Wade, I will never forget your great kindness and favor! Please accept a bow from me!”Charlie supported him with one hand before he smiled and said, “You should accept the pill and put it away in a safe place quickly. Out of all the people that I have
