Two minutes later, Smith returned to the ICU ward with the box of Apothecary Restoration Pills in his hand.
As soon as Jenny saw that he truly had a box of pills i n his hand, she grabbed it and asked him anxiously, "I s this medicine for oral use? How should it be taken?"
"It's for oral use." Smith said with some hesitation," However, I really do not know exactly how to consume it. The person who gave me the medicine did not tell m e anything."
Jenny took the medicine in her hand and looked at it. She then saw that there were written instructions in English on the back of the medicine box.
She looked at the simple line of words on it and said i n amazement, "It's just two sentences. It says: Cancer patients, take one pill on an empty stomach every day. You can be cured by taking it consistently every day, and at the same time, it will also help your body to restore your vital energy quickly..."
"D*mn it..." Smith cursed and gritted his teeth as he said, "I've never f*cking seen such a loosely labeled anti-cancer drug! Even the bubble gum that kids eat has more instructions than this! There's no f*cking credibility at all!"
After that, he curled his lips in disdain and said
contemptuously, "What the f*ck is the restoration of vital energy?! I hate the Oskian theory of vital energy. It’s all just b*llsh*t to me! Let's just throw this box of garbage away!"
Jenny shook her head and said firmly, "No! I want to let Jimmy try it!"
Smith said offhandedly, "This medicine doesn't even have the ingredients, contraindications, nor side effects written on it! It's complete garbage! How could I give it to Jimmy directly?!"
Jenny said stubbornly, "It doesn't matter if those things are not written on it. What matters is that it is clearly written that cancer can be cured, and since it i s written on it, I’m going to try it!"
Smith was extremely frustrated at this time, and his contempt and disdain for traditional Eastern medicine that was deeply embedded within him made him feel truly unwilling to let his son try this kind of Oskian medicine with no credibility, especially in his own son's last dying days.
However, Jenny didn't care about that anymore.
Smith covered his forehead with one hand, and he was extremely disheveled as he said, "I really cannot believe that I have focused all of the world's top anticancer technology on Jimmy's body, but at the end of his life, he’s still forced to take this so-called Oskian medicine of unknown origin! This is really shameful for me!”
Jenny couldn't help but complain, "Ever since you got into the FDA, your character has become more and more extreme and harsh. Modern medicine is not the only thing that works in this world, so why do you have to criticize all other medical treatments?!"
Smith said very seriously, “I am not criticizing other medical treatments, but any treatment must withstand the perfect test! This is the principle of science!"
Jenny asked him rhetorically, "Then, do you believe in God?"
"I..." Smith was speechless for a moment.
In the United States, if a person were to openly say that he did not believe in God, he would certainly be rejected by the whole society.
