Hades and Eclipse visited Rejuvenation Clinic the next day with their bodyguards.
The clinic was filled with patients.
When Hades’ Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the clinic, it quickly garnered a lot of attention.
Even though the crowd had no idea who the car belonged to, they figured the owner must be either a millionaire or an important person; someone that they shouldn’t cross path with.
The crowd quickly made way for the new visitor.
Hades and Eclipse walked straight into the clinic with the bodyguards.
“Make way!” one of the guards yelled.
The patient who was being treated looked up and tried to move away out of fear.
But Daniel grabbed the patient’s hand and turned to Hades. “Sir, you’ll have to wait for your turn.”
“How dare you make my master wait!?” the guard scolded.
Hades quickly tapped the guard’s shoulder and said, “Stop. We’ll wait.”
Since it was his master’s order, the guard could only follow Hades to the end of the line.
The guard wanted to refute, but Hades was the boss of Rivermouth. So he could only shut his mouth.
What infuriated the guard was the fact that a powerful figure like Hades had to queue up for his turn like a regular person.
Hades waited for two hours until his turn.
Daniel did not have any prejudice against Hades and his men for trying to cut the line. He treated Hades as he would to other patients.
“Hello, how are you feeling today? What can I do for you?”
“I want to cure pancreatic cancer,” Hades said.
“Sir, I’m really sorry. There’s nothing I could do about that,” Daniel sighed. “I suggest you visit the hospital.”
“You’re too humble,” Hades smiled. “I came here because I saw in the news that you’re famous for treating cancer.”
“To tell you the truth, the news is fake,” Daniel quickly said. “I’ve already clarified that I don’t have the ability to do that. Didn’t you hear about it? I really suggest you visit the hospital. Even though the recovery rate is low, it’s still better than having no chance at all.”
“Please, doctor, I know you’re angry about us trying to cut the line. But, you still have to fulfil your role as a doctor, right?” Hades frowned.
“You are mistaken,” Daniel quickly explained. “There’s no way I’m not going to help you because of that. I really don’t have the ability to help you.”
“I see...” Hades finally sighed. “Then, can you give me the same prescription as you gave to the that patient?”
“Why won’t you believe me? I’m telling the truth. The medicine I prescribed last time was just to revitalize the body... I don’t even think the last patient had cancer...”
Hades coughed and cut Daniel’s sentence short before pulling him to a corner.
“Please, doctor, give me the prescription. I know there’s not much of a chance to cure my brother’s cancer, but it should at least help calm him down.”
“Fine,” Daniel smiled bitterly. “Your brother sure is stubborn.”
Eclipse smiled and said, “A dying person will do anything to stay alive.”
He was clearly insinuating on something else in his speech.
Daniel prescribed the medicine to Hades as he did for Jason.
After Hades got the medicine he was after, he left with Eclipse after that.
