Chapter 581 Shall We Compete
Philip nodded. “Dr. Langdon, may I know how long my dad has?”
Dr. Langdon thought for a while and replied, “Ten days at the most.”
“I see… Thank you, Dr. Langdon.” That diagnosis did not come as a surprise to Philip.
“Dad, we have managed to get Dr. Jefferson,” said Chloe when she saw her dad.
Jason chimed in as well, “Dad, how is grandpa doing?”
Philip ignored the siblings and turned to Auriel instead.
“I’m sorry to make you come all this way, Dr. Skyworth. But my dad has contracted lung cancer. I don’t think ancient medicine is going to cure him.” When Philip turned down. Auriel’s help, he was also refusing Alex’s help outrightly.
Especially when he saw that Alex was only in his twenties and close to his son’s age, he simply could not believe his eyes.
Such a young divine physician?
There was no way he could believe it.
On the contrary, he felt that Tyrael and his granddaughter were trying to use this opportunity to get closer to the Taylor family. That was why they fabricated a character like Alex.
Otherwise, why would Tyrael excuse himself to see to other patients?
If anything goes wrong, he must be worried about losing his reputation.
“Who told you that ancient medicine cannot cure lung cancer?” asked Alex unhappily while staring at Philip.
Although Alex was not obsessed with fame and fortune, he could not allow others to insult the art of ancient medicine.
Joyce was the first one to mock him. “Ancient medicine can cure lung cancer? Are you crazy?”
The middle-aged man standing next to Philip sneered, “Jason, you and your sister are old enough. How can the both of you be so naïve?”
The middle-aged man was none other than Dean Taylor, Philip’s older brother and also
Jason’s uncle.
Both Jason and his sister looked very upset. They had no idea how to refute Dean.
Most importantly, they harbored doubts within themselves too.
They had full confidence in Alex’s medical skills, but they too could not believe that ancient medicine could cure lung cancer.
As far as cancer was concerned, even western medicine could not cure anybody of it. Likewise, there were no records of ancient medicine curing cancer in the past.
Dr. Langdon, who was an expert in lung cancer, smiled coldly and said, “Mr. Taylor, I can swear on my life that there is no way that ancient medicine can cure lung cancer. Now that his cancer has entered the final stage, there is nothing western medicine can do about it, not to mention the outdated ancient medicine.”
Alex glanced at Dr. Langdon and sneered, “If that’s the case, shall we compete and see which is more powerful, ancient medicine or western medicine? Do you dare to take up the challenge?”
After being challenged by a nobody, Dr. Langdon had no choice but to accept. “Sure. How do you intend to compete?”
Alex turned his attention to Dean and asked Dr. Langdon, “What do you think of his health?”
Dr. Langdon took one look at Dean and said without thinking, “Mr. Taylor is in the pink of health. Don’t sprout rubbish!”
“He has so many health issues. Let me tell you what bothers him the most.”
