Chapter 314
Elaine looked very pale and shocked. She said, “Oh, I’m fine, my head simply hurts a little. The doctor checked on me and he said that I’m okay, it’s just that your father…the truck had hit his side…”She wailed loudly.It was a fatal blow to her that her husband might end up being permanently quadriplegic.After a thorough investigation, Charlie discovered that the muck truck had already escaped after the accident. Elaine and Jacob were unconscious after being hit by the truck, so they couldn’t see the truck’s license plate nor any significant feature of the truck.Later, they were sent to the hospital by Good Samaritans.Elaine’s situation was slightly better. She was sitting in the front passenger seat at the time, so she was unconscious after the accident and suffered some bruises and minor injuries. She woke up after arriving at the hospital.Jacob, on the other hand, was unlucky. Sitting in the driver’s seat, he suffered a major impact as the truck had hit his side and he e
Chapter 315
As soon as Elaine heard that Jason had brought a renowned doctor to their ward, she shrieked in excitement and said, “Oh, Jason, thank you so much! Thank you for coming, Dr. Lynch!”Jason smiled lightly and said, “You’re welcome, I’m just offering some help whenever I can.”Then, he turned and respectfully said to Joshua behind him, “Dr. Lynch, this is Uncle Jacob, please check on him.”Joshua stepped forward and said in a confident tone, “Don’t worry, he hurt his spine, didn’t he? Although it sounds like a horrible injury, I can assure you it’s a piece of cake for me.”The doctor gasped in surprise. “As far as I’m concerned, no one can cure spinal injuries. Even the richest people in the world can only lie on the bed after they have injured their spine. Just look at Stephen Hawking—he is so bright and awesome, but he’s only able to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life and can only move three fingers due to motor neuron disease. Why are you so confident?”Joshua laughed an

Elaine’s face twisted into a disdainful grimace and she shouted, “Charlie, just shut up, you loser! Who do you think you are?! You have no say in this!”She shot daggers at Charlie and growled, “Stop messing with Dr. Lynch’s treatment. Get out!”Charlie frowned in dismay.At the same time, he thought, ‘Could it be that Joshua was the first to buy the pill from Zachary? If so, he must be the one who sold the pill to Anthony Simmons for five million dollars, that dishonest and profiteering prick!’Jason must have spent a lot of money to hire him.At this moment, Jason sneered, thinking that he had something on Charlie, “Charlie, you deadbeat loser. You must be pretty good with your mouth, huh, since there’s absolutely nothing you can do here? You and your bluff!”Then, he slapped his hands together as if something struck his mind and said, “Oh, I get it! You questioned Dr. Lynch because you don’t want Uncle Jacob to get better!”“Huh, I’m bluffing?”Charlie could endure Elaine’s

Following the direction of the sound, everyone looked towards the door and saw a middle-aged man in a smart suit walking into the ward. Jason and Dr. Lynch freaked out as soon as they saw the man, their faces turning green and their mouths wide agape.He was the dignified king of Aurous Hill’s underworld, Don Albert Rhodes!What the hell was going on?!Why was he here?Before Jason and Dr. Lynch could react to his appearance, the next scene made them dumbfounded as if they had been struck by lightning!A group of people barged into the room like a SWAT team. They were Doris Young, Zeke White, Graham Quinton, Travis Lane, Anthony Simmons, and so on! These people were prominent figures in Aurous Hill and Lancaster! They walked directly to Charlie, bowed and greeted respectfully, “Master Wade!”Charlie asked curiously, “Why are all of you here?”Don Albert answered, “Master Wade, we came as soon as we heard about your father-in-law’s accident, hope you don’t mind our sudden intru

Don Albert shot Jason an intimidating glare and said, “Master Wade is our leader, your disrespect to him is equivalent to making us your enemies. If you dare blurt a single nonsensical statement again, I’ll break your leg!”Jason’s face turned green and blue as the VIPs chided him continuously, shocked and speechless.At this moment, Anthony yelled coldly, “Come here, Joshua Lynch!”Joshua shuddered in astonishment when his name was called.Others might not know it, but he knew very clearly whether his magical elixir had cured Anthony’s illness. He could still deceive them earlier, but now that the real man was here, his bluff would be exposed!Nevertheless, he stepped forward with his head hanging low and greeted, “Master Simmons.”Anthony rebuked angrily, “I heard you say that you cured my illness with that pill in your hand, is that true?”Joshua started frantically, “I’m sorry, Master Simmons. I was just talking nonsense and bragging about something I didn’t do, please forgi
Chapter 319
Elaine and Claire watched the situation unfolding with a stunned expression, while Jason was even more shocked and bewildered.Elaine expected the genius doctor to treat her husband, but who would have thought that he would apologize to Charlie, admitting that he was fooling them with the magical drug…Jason’s face turned green in anger and embarrassment. He clenched his fists tightly, feeling that his entire reputation was being stampeded and humiliated by Charlie. However, he refused to believe that Charlie was as powerful as these people claimed and he was unwilling to admit defeat to the loser.Unexpectedly, Don Albert suddenly sneered at him and asked Charlie, “Master Wade, what should I do with this Grant kid?”He didn’t dare to make his own decision in front of Charlie, or he would have attacked Jason immediately for his rude attitude towards Charlie.Charlie said flatly, “It’s up to you.”Don Albert grinned viciously upon Charlie’s remark, but before he could summon his m

In fact, on their way to the hospital, Charlie 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 Wade, 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 s
Chapter 321
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?Charlie 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!”Anthony smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Wade. I owe Master Wade a big favor and I’ll try my best.”Then, he walked to the bed, took out the pill, carefully cut it in half, and gingerly put it into Jacob’s mouth under everyone’s intense gaze.Everyone held their breath and anticipated.Jacob’s doctor was watching vividly. Although he didn’t believe that Chinese medicine could cure the spina
