Chapter 992 The Past Medical History of the Madden Family
That person had his back to Julien. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around slowly.
Unexpectedly, it was actually Finn, who had said he was going to work!
When Julien and Finn saw each other, there was no surprise on their faces. Obviously, they had made an appointment to come here.
"Does the report show that Leaf has that problem?" Julien looked at Finn and spoke in a deep voice.
Finn leaned against the wall, "Luckily, she's fine. She doesn't inherit kidney failure from Brandon."
When Julien heard his answer, his taut face finally relaxed a little, "That's good news."
But he was not completely relieved.
He remembered that Brandon's illness occurred a few months ago.
In other words, Brandon had no kidney problems for more than fifty years, and the illness came all of a sudden.
Soon Julien shook his head and thought, ‘It should not be all of a sudden. Brandon’s kidneys may have started to deteriorate in recent years, but he did not realize it, so his kidneys were getting worse and worse. In the end, he fell ill and was sent to the hospital.’
Thinking of this, Julien closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened them again. "Now the report shows that Leaf doesn’t have that problem, but is it possible that she will suddenly have kidney failure in the next ten years or twenty years? Brandon got sick when he was in his fifties."
Brandon, as the head of the Madden family, must have done a detailed physical examination in the past few decades.
However, he had never been diagnosed with kidney failure, which meant that Brandon did not have kidney failure in the past few decades.
It was only in the last year or this year that this genetic disease in his body was suddenly activated.
Julien was worried that Sydney would have a similar situation.
Listening to Julien's question, Finn took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and put one into his mouth. Then he handed another one to Julien, "Do you want it?"
Julien made a refusal gesture, "No, I quit smoking. Leaf doesn't like me to smoke."
As Julien said this, his chin was slightly raised, and anyone could hear the pride in his tone.
Finn took the cigarette back and said, "You don't have to emphasize the last sentence."
He could tell that was sarcasm.
Julien pretended not to understand what Finn was talking about. He frowned impatiently and urged, "All right, answer me quickly. Will Leaf have the same situation as Brandon?"
Finn still did not speak and was trying to light a cigarette with a lighter.
Maybe there was something wrong with his lighter. After several attempts, Finn still didn't light that cigarette, and his face darkened.
Seeing this, Julien took out a gold dragon-carved lighter and threw it to Finn.
Finn caught the lighter quickly and then watched the magnificent lighter in his palm. His eyes brightened, "I guess this is a royal lighter customized by the Queen of Eamond. Am I right? It symbolizes the owner's high status. There are only two in the world. One is in her son’s hand, and the other one was given to a mystery man. I didn't expect that the mystery man was you."
"A few years ago, I went on a business trip to Eamond and met the Queen. She gave this to me," Julien explained simply.
This lighter was the one that Sydney had taken away in the restaurant yesterday.
This morning, Sydney gave the lighter back to Julien, saying that she believed he would no longer smoke even if he got his lighter back.
Therefore, Finn could use this lighter at this moment.
Finn opened the lid of the lighter, and soon the red flame appeared, reflecting his cold face.
Finn leaned forward to light his cigarette.
Soon, the cigarette was lit.
Finn closed the lighter and fiddled with it. He seemed to have no intention of returning it to Julien and even asked, "How about you give me this lighter? Didn't you quit smoking anyway? Then you won't need this lighter. After all, you don't need to light a cigarette for anyone."
With that, he puffed out a smoke ring comfortably. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Perhaps because the lighter was so expensive, he felt that his cigarette tasted better than before.
Julien looked at Finn calmly and frowned tightly, "It's okay If you want this lighter, but you must give me a satisfactory answer."
"Deal!" Finn immediately stopped fiddling with the lighter. Then he answered Julien’s question, "Don’t worry. I think she should not have the same situation as Brandon."
"What do you mean?" Julien narrowed his eyes while looking at Finn.
Finn puffed out another smoke ring, held the cigarette between his fingers, and flicked it to shake off the ash, "As a professional doctor, do you think I didn’t think of this possibility? After contacting you yesterday, I wondered if Sydney would have kidney failure in the next few decades even if she was fine now, so I looked into the past medical history of the Madden family."
"Past medical history?" Julien was curious.
Finn nodded slightly, "Yes. Although Prima Hospital is a public hospital, part of its shares belongs to the James family. Prima Hospital was founded eighty years ago by my ancestors when there was still a war. At that time, Prima Hospital was called James Hospital. It was a completely private hospital. It was also the first private hospital of Western medicine in Port City. The Madden family was an old and rich family in Port City at that time, so they could afford to go to James Hospital. Yesterday, I specially went to see the medical records of the members of the Madden family during that period. I found the last person in the Madden family who had inherited kidney failure was Brandon's great-grandfather."
"Oh?" Julien pressed his thin lips together, "Then what?"
"When Brandon's great-grandfather fell ill, he was younger than Brandon and was only in his twenties. According to the medical records, Brandon's great-grandfather knew very well that he had inherited kidney failure because every few generations, his ancestors would suffer from kidney failure. The person who treated Brandon's great-grandfather at that time was my great-great- grandfather, who came back from studying Western medicine abroad. At that time, there already had been the concept of genetic disease, but my grandfather did not personally see any patients with genetic diseases. Brandon's great-grandfather was the first one my great-great-grandfather
saw. My great-great-grandfather was very interested in Brandon's great-grandfather and asked a lot of questions, all of which were recorded in a notebook."
"How do you know your great-great-grandfather asked a lot of questions and wrote them in his notebook?" Julien twisted his eyebrows and looked at Finn.
Finn smoked slowly and said, "It was written on the paper. He is the first genetic disease patient that my great-great-grandfather saw, so it is worthwhile for my great-great-grandfather and our country. Naturally, it was specially recorded in the medical history."
