Chapter 50 Albie Knelt Down
Lachlan had intended to pull Miranda away, but now he stopped in his tracks. Kayden had already opened the door to the private room and was beaming with a smile as he welcomed someone inside.
Albie rushed over and bowed to the newcomer. “Miraculous Doctor, you’ve arrived! Please take a seat!”
The person they were greeting was a renowned medicine expert who held his son’s life in his hands. Albie’s respect for him was evident.
Albie and Kayden flanked the doctor, pushing Lachlan and Miranda aside as they made their way into the room.
“Shall we go? What are we doing here?” Miranda tugged on Lachlan’s arm self-deprecatingly.
“It’s fine, let’s wait a bit,” replied Lachlan with a shake of his head, causing confusion to flicker across her goddess-like face.
He had been eager to leave just moments ago; why wasn’t he in such a hurry anymore?
Meanwhile, Clifford had been respectfully ushered over to sit down while Albie and Kayden showered him with compliments.
“Miraculous Doctor, you’re truly the best in Priocia’s medicine community!”
“That’s right! When leukemia enters its acute phase, there is no cure anywhere else in the world except for your miraculous medicine! The lives of children depend on divine doctors like you!”
“You must be exhausted! Please have some tea!”
Clifford waved his hand, feeling a bit ashamed of the compliments and praise from the two men.
“I’m not really a miracle doctor. I didn’t even research this medicine,” he said.
“Oh? So someone else researched it?” Albie’s expression froze at the news.
“Yes! That person is the real miracle doctor,” Clifford said with admiration in his voice.
Albie and Kayden exchanged glances upon hearing this.
“If only I could meet that miracle doctor! Then my son’s illness would be…” Albie trailed off, looking at Clifford with hope and pleading in his eyes.
Clifford was a kind-hearted person and smiled at Albie’s request. “If there’s a chance, I’ll introduce you to that young miracle doctor! He has a good heart and will surely help you save your son. And with this new medicine he developed, saving your son should be no problem.”
“Thank you so much, Miraculous Doctor! And thank you even more to that young miracle doctor who researched this life-saving medicine!” Albie exclaimed excitedly while expressing gratitude towards Clifford for helping him out.
Just then, Clifford noticed two other people in the private room who had been standing there silently all along.
Turning towards them, he said, “Are you also friends of Mr. Elliott? Please come over here and join us instead of just standing there.” But as soon as he spoke those words, he caught in his throat as if something had suddenly stopped him from talking further about them.
Just now, he was surrounded by Albie and Kayden on either side, and he couldn’t see these two clearly. But now, it was crystal clear.
Kayden sneered and waved his hand dismissively. “Don’t mind them. They’re just two scammers who will do anything to sign a contract with Mr. Elliott.”
“Exactly! Don’t pay attention to them! You have the miracle medicine in your hands, but they claim they have it too!”
“Heh heh, they’ll stop at nothing when it comes to business deals!”
“Miraculous Doctor, please have some tea! Don’t worry about these two; I’ll kick them out right away.” Albie handed Clifford a cup of tea as he spoke and looked towards Miranda and Lachlan.
“Ms. Lowe, Mr. Willis, you are not welcome here; why don’t you leave?”
In Albie’s eyes, Clifford was like a god who had saved his son’s life; he was afraid that Lachlan and Miranda would offend him if they stayed here any longer.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
He became even more impolite towards Miranda and Lachlan!
Suddenly…
Splash!
As soon as the words left his mouth, Clifford pushed away the cup of tea that Albie had handed him before standing up abruptly.
The scalding hot tea spilled all over Albie’s face and body.
Albie looked confused but didn’t dare get angry because he didn’t know what had gotten into Clifford.
At this moment, Clifford walked quickly to Lachlan, slightly bending his waist and bowing to him like a student meeting his teacher.
“Dr. Willis, what are you doing here?” he asked respectfully.
Albie wiped the tea off his face and couldn’t help but feel surprised at the scene before him. Kayden also stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
What was going on? Why was the renowned medicine expert showing such respect to Lachlan?
“Do you plan on using the medicine I gave you on Mr. Elliott’s son?” Lachlan asked calmly.
“Yes! Kayden came to me yesterday and said there was an acute leukemia patient who needed treatment. Coincidentally, you had just given me those new medicines so I…” Clifford explained.
He had already guessed some things from Kayden and Albie’s conversation earlier.
“I don’t agree with that,” Lachlan said sternly.
Clifford nodded quickly in agreement, feeling ashamed and apologetic as he spoke, “The medicine is researched by you so it’s up to you how it should be used. I didn’t know they had any conflicts with you or else I wouldn’t have…”
Clifford was only asked by Kayden to save someone, and he had no idea about the specific details. “It’s okay, ignorance is forgivable,” Lachlan waved his hand and didn’t blame Clifford. At this moment, Miranda blinked a few times and turned to look at Lachlan with a hint of surprise and excitement in her beautiful eyes. Even if she reacted slowly, she knew that something seemed to have changed.
At this time, Albie and Kayden’s faces were changing unpredictably. Especially Albie, there was already a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. Surprise, horror, panic, uneasiness… One person’s expression can actually be so rich!
“Dr. … Miraculous Doctor! What… what’s going on?” Albie asked with difficulty.
Clifford snorted coldly, “You just said that Dr. Wills is a fraud? This medicine was developed by him! Since you say Dr. Willis is a fraud then I would become an accomplice? Don’t let your son use this medicine!”
Although he had a compassionate heart as a doctor, when Lachlan issued an order, Clifford couldn’t go against it both in terms of emotions and reasoning.
Firstly, the medicine was given to him by Lachlan himself.
Secondly, he regarded Lachlan as a half-tutor and hoped to consult him more in the future, not daring to offend him.
As soon as the words fell, Albie almost fell off his seat and collapsed on the ground.
What? The miraculous medicine Clifford mentioned was given by Lachlan?
Lachlan was the real miracle doctor??
Albie widened his eyes and stared blankly for a few seconds.
Then he stood up abruptly and rushed towards Lachlan, stumbling along the way.
Without further ado, he knelt directly in front of Lachlan.
“Mr. Willis, I’m sorry! I was wrong! Please give me another chance. I’ll sign a contract with Ms. Lowe right away!”
The biggest herbal wholesaler in Kreanford worth billions of dollars begged desperately while kneeling before Lachlan.
Lachlan looked down at Albie expressionlessly and chuckled, “Mr. Elliott, are you a chameleon?”
