"Maybe her ability to cure it is what the Chinese say, a blind cat catching a dead mouse," Bruce said. He didn't believe it anyway.
"Father, I want to try again. Grandpa's health can't hold out for much longer. I plan to buy that medicine back. Whether it works or not, it's a ray of hope," Gret said. It didn't matter if he had to pay a little more, but Grandpa's illness couldn't be put off any longer.
Bruce took a sip of his red wine, gently swirling it in his hand. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Alright, let's give it a try." His father's life was the Venetian family's greatest asset. If the pill proved ineffective, he could return to China to settle accounts with Su Jinyue and have the Chinese government punish her severely.
"Father, I'll call Principal Chen now and ask him to arrange another meeting between us and Dr. Su," Grete said. Now that the decision had been made, it was time to resolve it.
"Yeah!" Bruce nodded.
Gret stood up, walked to the table, picked up the phone and dialed.
The phone rang for a long time before someone finally picked up.
"Hello!" a female voice came.
Grete was stunned for a moment, then said, "Hello, is Principal Chen here?"
"Principal Chen went to the hospital. His wife had an accident and is currently receiving emergency treatment at the Second Affiliated Hospital," Li Lan said. She was a clinical professor at the school, and her office was right next to the principal's. She had just happened to see the principal as he was leaving, so she asked about his wife and learned that she had been in critical condition.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you!" Gret put down the phone and looked at his father. "Principal Chen is in the Second Affiliated Hospital now. Something happened to his wife."
"Yeah!" Bruce nodded.
"Dad, I want to go to the hospital to check the situation." Gret said.
Bruce thought about it and said, "Okay."
After having some gifts prepared, Gret drove to the hospital.
After asking the nurse at the information desk about the ward where Chen Zhenghai's wife was staying, Gret walked towards it.
Chen Zhenghai and the other two were chatting. After this crisis, the three of them cherished each other even more.
"Come in." Chen Zhenghai responded when he heard someone knocking on the door.
Grete pushed the door open and walked into the ward. Seeing Chen Zhenghai and his family enjoying themselves, he felt a little envious. "Principal Chen, I heard that your wife is not in good health, so I came here to see you."
"Thank you, Mr. Grete! Please take a seat!" Chen Zhenghai said. He already knew why Grete came this time. Unfortunately, he had missed the opportunity. He had already given the pill to his wife.
Gret walked to the sofa beside him and sat down, put the fruit and a bouquet of flowers in his hand on the table, looked at Chen Zhenghai and said, "Principal Chen, I would like to ask you to arrange another meeting between me and Dr. Su. I want to buy her medicine." The person on the phone just now said that Mrs. Chen was being rescued, and now it seems that Mrs. Chen is in good spirits.
"Mr. Grete, I don't think it would be helpful for you to see Su Jinyue." Chen Zhenghai handed the peeled apple to Chen Xiaoyu and asked her to feed it to his wife. His wife's body had almost recovered. After a CT scan confirmed that there was no blood congestion in her brain, she could be discharged from the hospital.
"Why?" Gret looked at Chen Zhenghai in confusion.
"Because Su Jinyue gave me that pill, and I used it to save my wife," Chen Zhenghai said. When he asked the hospital to arrange a ward for his wife, the doctors who performed the surgery on her thought he was being irritated.
It wasn't until they entered the operating room and saw his wife's condition that they were forced to believe this fact. After that, they ran a series of tests on his wife and confirmed that her body had recovered. They said it was simply a miracle. If he hadn't personally fed his wife the elixir and watched his wife escape danger with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the elixir was so effective.
"Only one?" Gret asked after a long pause.
"That's what she said." Chen Zhenghai nodded. He was really glad that Bruce didn't take the pill at that time, otherwise his wife would not be saved.
Gret pondered for a moment and asked, "Principal Chen, can I ask about your wife's condition before?" Since it has reached the stage of emergency treatment, it should have been very serious.
"She's dying," Chen Zhenghai said. Thinking of his wife lying on the bed, she was still a little frightened, and he was even more glad that he had received the pill.
"Thank you, Principal Chen! I still hope that Principal Chen can arrange for us to meet with Dr. Su." Grete said sincerely. Since Dr. Su can produce one pill, she may be able to produce a second pill. As long as she has it, he is willing to buy it no matter how much it costs.
Chen Zhenghai sighed and nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Su Jinyue what she thinks tomorrow. If she is willing, I'll call you to arrange a meeting time." This is often the case. When opportunities are right in front of us, we don't know how to cherish them, and only regret it when we lose them.
"Thank you! I'll wait for your good news. I'll take my leave now." Gret stood up and said. He just hoped that Dr. Su had more pills.
Bruce was a little surprised to see Gret return listlessly. "What happened?" Could it be because of Principal Chen's wife? His son had become increasingly indecisive since coming to China.
"Father! The pill that Dr. Su gave you before is no longer available." Gret walked over to Bruce and sat down.
"What's going on?" Bruce asked after a moment of surprise.
"Doctor Su has already given the pill to Principal Chen, who used it to save his wife's life," Gret said. If only my father had bought the pill earlier. He didn't know if it was still available.
Bruce picked up the red wine on the table and filled the empty wine glass, "Could this be a plan by the other party?" He didn't want the pill, but Su Jinyue gave the pill to Chen Zhenghai, and Chen Zhenghai's wife happened to be in trouble. All this might not be too much of a coincidence.
"I checked the time. When Principal Chen's wife was in trouble, you and Principal Chen had just met. You hadn't met Dr. Su yet," Gret said, pulling out a report. He knew his father wouldn't believe him without evidence.
Bruce picked up the report and checked the time. It was indeed the time he and Chen Zhenghai met. He had a habit of checking the time whenever he was meeting someone or finishing a conversation.
He continued to look through the information in his hand. This information had been translated into American, so he could understand it.
When he saw the critical illness notice, he was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure this is true?" Although he is not a doctor, he knows that once the hospital issues a critical illness notice, it means that the patient is dying.
