The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2328

Charlie nodded and said, "Then, you must be drinking tonight, right?"

"Yup,” Jacob said with a laugh. "I'll certainly drink a little. Why?"

Charlie then said, "Oh, I have some business to tend to this afternoon. If it's convenient for you, I want to use your car later.”

Jacob handed the car keys to Charlie without any hesitation and said, "Of course it's convenient for me! G o ahead and use it. It just so happens that I will drink a glass or two tonight. If I drive, I would have to find someone to drive me home. It’s much more convenient to just take a cab." 7

Charlie nodded and took the car keys from Jacob.

Claire, who was standing at the side, said, "Dad, I’ll be going to my office later. I can send you to the association on the way."

Jacob laughed and said, "Wonderful! I can save on the taxi fare, then!”

After Jacob and Claire had left, Charlie took the pills out, put them into an inconspicuous shoulder bag, and left the house.

He got into Jacob's car and went straight to Graham's

villa in the suburbs.

Meanwhile, at the Silverwing Hospital, after Doris had sent the lunch box to her mother, she immediately went to the office of the director of the nephrology department to ask about her father's current condition. 6

Dr. Spears, the sixty-something-year-old director of the nephrology department, pushed his glasses up and said seriously, "Miss Young, I have to be frank. Your father is not doing very well right now. His kidney has completely failed..."

Doris pursued, "Dr. Spears, what kind of toxic substance can cause a person's kidney to fail so drastically?"

Dr. Spears replied, "Some herbal medicines have strong nephrotoxicity, such as Aristolochia aka Dutchman’s pipe. Our country has long moved this ingredient out of the medical code, but there are still some unscrupulous doctors who would secretly add this ingredient inside their prescription in order to increase the efficiency of the drug on the patient's body, which subsequently leads to serious damage to the patient's kidneys."

With that, Dr. Spears sighed and continued," Haphazardly buying and taking health care products a s well as listening to unverified health care tips are also the major causes of kidney failure among the middle-aged and elderly in recent years..."

"Moreover, these patients are easily fooled by unscrupulous TV commercials, advertisements, and the so-called health gurus, lacking the ability to discern truth from false." 3

"For example, the father of our director of thoracic surgery has always despised him as a Western medical doctor and trusts the traditional medicine wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to distinguish good doctors from the bad and always blindly believes in those health programs on T V." 5

"Last year, he felt that he had some frequent urination problem, so he went to the shop to purchase a pack of medicine according to the content of the health program and secretly drank it three times a day. After three days, he was rushed to the hospital because of acute kidney failure.” "In less than 48 hours, he passed away." s
