Benjamin answered the call lazily.
“Hello, I’m Paul from the Murphy family in Altney.”
“Hello, Mr. Murphy. I’m the assistant of the Wonder Doctor.”
“Sir, I have a patient and I would like to seek help from the Wonder Doctor. Is he available for a consultation?” Paul spoke respectfully.
“Tell me the patient’s condition and I will report it to the Wonder Doctor for you.”
“It’s my daughter, who suddenly became partially paralyzed. I have no choice but to ask for help from the Wonder Doctor.”
“Well,” said Benjamin, “I’ll report it to him. Just in case, do you know the consultation fee for the Wonder Doctor?”
“I heard it starts at a hundred million. I wonder if that’s true?”
“Of course it’s true, it might not be just a couple hundred million.”
Paul took a deep breath.
“If Mr. Murphy thinks that it’s inappropriate, then forget about it. The Wonder Doctor doesn’t simply heal someone.”
“It’s fine. I’ll pay no matter how much the price is. Please report to the Wonder Doctor. I’ll wait for your reply.”
“Alright, but I can only give you a reply until a day later.”
“One day? My daughter’s condition could only last for one and a half days until she becomes worse.” Paul said impatiently.
“I can’t help it then. The Wonder Doctor would only come out tomorrow as he was cultivating his skills. Hence, the reply’s tomorrow.”
“There’s only half a day left. Will there be any delay in my daughter’s case?”
“As long as the Wonder Doctor agrees to help you, there wouldn’t be much problem,” Benjamin replied.
“Alright.”
