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.
He became even more impolite towards Miranda and Lachlan!
