"Otherwise, I'll leave now!"
"I will not return a single penny of your thirty thousand US dollars to you either!"
Liam did not expect that there was such a thing in the other party's family, and for a moment, he also felt a little empathy.
So, he said apologetically, "Mr. Smith, I'm very sorry to hear such a thing. Can I take the liberty to ask how is your son's condition now?"
When Smith heard this question, all of the aggression that he had been feeling just now instantly disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a heartfelt feeling of despair and helplessness.
He let out a long sigh and muttered, "Half a month ago, he just received four hundred and seventy thousand U S dollars worth of T-cell immunotherapy from Novartis Pharmaceuticals, but with little success..."
"Now, his tumor has recurred, and it has spread throughout his body..."
"Just three days ago, the largest tumor in his brain compressed his optic nerve and so, he is currently blind..."
"The reason why I was late just now was because an hour before I left work, my wife told me that his
hearing had been affected as well and he could not hear people anymore..."
"So, I rushed to the hospital, and the doctor told me that in his current condition, he has lost the meaning o f treatment, and he has only one month left to live at most."
Upon saying that, Liam bent down and picked up the two boxes of Apothecary Restoration Pills. He gently wiped the dust off them while carefully restoring the deflated parts of the boxes.
He then spoke to Smith in an extremely serious manner, "Mr. Smith, I ask that you remember this medicine. Its name is the Apothecary Restoration Pill! I t was made by a top master whom I admire immensely! It doesn't matter if you don't believe in this medicine, but one day, I will let you know just how stupid you were today! In my opinion, your so-called pride and self-confidence are just like a person who has a limited outlook and narrow view!"
As soon as the words left Liam's mouth, he immediately pulled up his suitcase and said in a cold voice, "There is no need for us to continue this meal, and you don't need to return the money to me either! Goodbye!"
Smith was slightly stunned, but he still said stiffly, "In that case, I won’t see you off!"
Liam turned around at this time and looked at him. His heart softened slightly, and he put one of the boxes of the Apothecary Restoration Pill back in front of him and said lightly, "Although you are arrogant, the child is still innocent, after all. I will leave this box of medicine to you. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if you want to use it or not. Try to do what's best!”
