NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20 Seeking the Divine Doctor's Help
Just as Tan Long was smiling apologetically, Wang Ye suddenly spoke with calm assertiveness.
His voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and resolute.
"Damn it, you regret it now? I'll make you regret spouting nonsense here."
Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, several bodyguards rushed forward without hesitation, ready to strike him.
Tan Long hurriedly stopped them, "I'm sorry everyone, sorry! My brother just said something offhand, please don't take it to heart."
"Divine Doctor, please get in the car quickly, get in the car!"
...
In Patriarch Fang's room, Max had just given him a muscle injection.
"Now it's better, Patriarch Fang finally has hope!"
"That's right, that's right, ever since the old man fell ill, many of the Fang Family's businesses have been declining. Now, at last, someone is here to turn the tide."
"Absolutely, as long as the old patriarch is healthy, that's the best news for our Fang Family!"
There was a hint of joy on everyone's face in the Fang Family, but Fang Junxiang looked somewhat troubled.
Miss Fang Feifei also approached Patriarch Fang's side and whispered, "Grandfather, your illness will be cured soon, and then you'll be able to take charge of the Fang Family's affairs once more!"
But no sooner had she finished speaking than Patriarch Fang suddenly coughed violently.
Then, his lips started turning purple at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even his legs began to swell, turning purple and even black.
Seeing this, everyone immediately felt that something was amiss.
"Max, what's going on? What's wrong with my grandfather?" Fang Feifei asked anxiously, looking at Max.
Max, too, looked perplexed at Patriarch Fang's reaction. Logically, such a situation should not have happened!
"Miss Fang, please don't panic. This is the drug taking effect; the old man will get better very soon," Max said, trying to maintain calm.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Fang Family were dubious.
However, Fang Junxiang saw this and a smile appeared on his face.
After a few minutes, Patriarch Fang's condition did not improve. Instead, it grew worse.
"Max, what exactly is happening to my grandfather? Is the wonder drug you used effective at all?" Fang Feifei asked urgently.
It was she who had brought Max to treat her grandfather. If something happened to him, she would be held fully responsible.
"This... Miss Fang, this is illogical! My wonder drug is always effective. Your grandfather suffered neuronal damage, and my newly developed neurorepair wonder drug should certainly cure him. This situation should not be occurring," Max said, sweat beading and streaming down his forehead.
"You... Max, I entrusted my grandfather's safety to you! If anything happens to him, you will bear full responsibility!" Fang Feifei stared intently at Max.
At this point, the silent Fang Junxiang stood up.
"Feifei, what have you done? How could you bring a quack to treat our grandfather? Look at his condition now; he's halfway to death. If anything unexpected happens to the old man, what will become of the entire Fang Family? How can you bear such responsibility?"
Facing Fang Junxiang's accusations, Fang Feifei couldn't offer any rebuttal. Moreover, the patriarch's condition was worsening by the minute, which greatly increased her anxiety.
"Yeah, Miss Fang, what's happening here? How could treating the old man end up like this?"
"We just said there was hope for the old man, and now this... it's over!"
"It's all over, the old man is foaming at the mouth now, he might be about to..."
Amidst the discussion of the crowd, Patriarch Fang suddenly began to convulse.
Not only was he foaming at the mouth, but his eyes had also rolled back, and he seemed to be on the verge of death.
"Max, Max, you..." Fang Feifei looked at the patriarch's condition, shouting helplessly.
Steward Liu, standing in the back, also felt his heart leap to his throat upon witnessing the scene.
However, his mind worked quickly, and he immediately thought of what Wang Ye had said earlier.
Before Max treated the patriarch, Wang Ye had already mentioned that the miracle drug should not be used.
"I have a way to save the patriarch!" shouted Steward Liu.
Upon hearing his desperate cry, everyone immediately turned their attention to Steward Liu.
"Steward Liu, what can you do?" Fang Feifei asked urgently.
Compared to the rest of the Fang Family, Fang Feifei was the most anxious at the moment.
"Didn't that Divine Doctor Wang say earlier that the patriarch's illness couldn't be treated with the miracle drug? Since he could make such a statement, perhaps he has a way to cure the patriarch," responded Steward Liu.
"Steward Liu, don't talk nonsense! How could that worthless kid cure the patriarch's illness?" Fang Junxiang immediately objected.
"Exactly, that man looks no more than twenty years old, how could he know anything about medicine!"
"That's right, I think he's just a charlatan, spouting nonsense earlier."
"I also think he just got lucky like a blind cat finding a dead rat."
The rest of the Fang Family did not believe in Wang Ye.
But Fang Feifei thought differently; the patriarch was already in a critical condition and there was no other way to save him. They had to take a chance on a dead horse as if it were a live one, letting the young man give it a try.
"Steward Liu, you're right, I would appreciate it if you could invite the young Divine Doctor over to see the patriarch!" Fang Feifei ordered.
"Alright, I'll fetch him right now," Steward Liu agreed, hurrying outside.
"Divine Doctor Wang, Divine Doctor Wang, wait a moment! Wait!"
As he rushed outside, Steward Liu kept shouting.
At the door, Wang Ye had just gotten into Tan Long's car.
And Tan Long was in the middle of apologizing to the bodyguards.
Everyone was taken aback by Steward Liu's shouts.
"Divine Doctor Wang, wait! Miss Fang is asking you to treat the patriarch!" Steward Liu, gasping for breath, hurried to the car and addressed Wang Ye.
Tan Long was stunned by the scene.
Just a moment ago, they had ousted Wang Ye as a quack, and now they were seeking his help?
The bodyguards were even more astonished; Steward Liu's reverence towards Wang Ye made them realize the gravity of their earlier aggression towards him.
"Steward Liu, I'm not any Divine Doctor, just a humble village practitioner! If your patriarch has already received the miracle drug, I'm afraid I can't save him now," Wang Ye said seriously.
He hadn't taken the Fang Family's earlier rudeness to heart. He was simply aware that the patriarch's current medical condition was indeed tricky.
However, after hearing what Wang Ye said, Steward Liu thought that Wang Ye was angry about the earlier incident.
"Divine Doctor Wang, we were in the wrong before, please don't take it to heart! We beg you to save the patriarch first, and once you've saved him, we will surely apologize to you."
