The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 469

After reviewing the medical records, Professor John made his decision. He addressed Bright, "This hospital’s medicine certainly won't save the patient."

Avery, somewhat flustered, urged the professor, "Professor John, please think of something!"

"Don't worry, Avery. Since I’m here, I will definitely help save your father-in-law. He needs the new medicine we've recently developed at Harvard University. That medicine is the only solution that can save him."

"Well, if we have the medicine, then use it quickly, Professor!" Avery implored, desperately hoping for a solution.

"Avery, that medicine is extremely precious; it's taken my team twenty years to develop. As such, it's quite expensive. It costs one hundred billion dollars to inject your father-in-law with just one dose. Three doses should make him healthy and bring him back from his deathbed."

Professor John had come from far away with the intention of making a profit. The biggest difference between modern medicine and shamanic healing is that modern medicine is about making money; it's driven by profit. Shamanic healing from the USA, on the other hand, aims to save lives and heal the sick with a focus on divine blessing.

When Daniel heard the professor's price, he was flabbergasted. One hundred billion per shot, three hundred billion for three shots? This professor clearly came to fleece them rather than to heal.

Unable to stay silent any longer, Daniel hastily urged Avery, "Mom, I can treat grandfather's illness, and it’s not going to cost three hundred billion. If you can’t figure out how to spend that money, you can give it to me as a wedding fund. After all, I've called you 'mom' so many times now."
