Miranda gritted her teeth and asked, "What's going on, Mr. Elliott? What conditions did he propose that I can't agree to?"
"Let it go, Ms. Lowe. Don't make things difficult for me," Albie sighed and shook his head.
"Tell us what the condition is," Miranda demanded.
Kayden Lloyd, also known as the man with golden-rimmed glasses, smirked and said teasingly, "Mr. Elliott's son has acute myeloid leukemia and is now in a critical stage where even private hospitals can't help him. But Mr. Austin can save the child's life! Who do you think Mr. Elliott will listen to?"
Albie groaned heavily before saying to Miranda with a bitter smile, "Ms. Lowe, I'm truly sorry! Last time when Dylan was poisoned, although he was rescued at that time, his condition suddenly deteriorated and he quickly entered a critical phase."
"I cannot watch my son die," Albie continued while looking exhausted. "Kayden has contacted a prominent figure in the traditional medicine field for me. They have a miraculous remedy and guarantee that even during the critical phase, Dylan's condition can be stabilized, allowing him to survive. The condition... is that I have to refuse to cooperate with you! I truly have no other choice!"
It was evident that deep within Albie's eyes, there was a hint of weariness. His son's deteriorating condition had left him emotionally exhausted. When chronic myeloid leukemia entered the critical phase, it was essentially a waiting game for death.
In this moment of despair, someone offered to save his son's life and he naturally agreed.
Upon hearing this, Miranda trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with deep helplessness.
Lachlan raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? So that's how it is! It's well known that after leukemia enters the acute phase, even many medical experts in the world can't do anything about it. Can this so-called medicine expert really cure it? Mr. Elliott, don't be fooled!"
Kayden sneered at Lachlan and said, "Kid, you're the short-lived guy Ms. Lowe hired right? Heheh... Do you have a say here?"
"Short-lived guy?" Lachlan raised an eyebrow.
"You won't live long. Mr. Austin said that," Kayden replied with a cold smile.
"He said that? He's nothing," Lachlan scoffed.
"Kid, we'll see about that. Let's see how long you can last!" Kayden challenged him.
At this point Albie spoke up seriously to Lachlan, "Mr. Willis I understand your and Ms. Lowe's feelings but he is indeed a big shot in the field of traditional medicine; I've heard of him before and he definitely isn't a fraud."
"Alright then. If that's what you say then I also have some miraculous medicine on hand which will surely save your son! In fact I can even make him recover completely!"
"As soon as you sign the contract with my wife, I will immediately go and treat your son! How about that?" Lachlan said confidently.
Miranda's eyes lit up and she quickly nodded. "Yes! Mr. Elliott, we also have a miracle drug for treating leukemia in our hands! Even if it enters the acute phase, the effect is amazing!"
Just now she was flustered, if it weren't for Lachlan bringing it up, she would have almost forgotten.
One of their company's four new drugs was a special medicine for treating leukemia!
However, when Albie heard this he showed impatience. "They have a miracle drug and you also have one? Ms. Lowe, stop talking! I won't joke around with my son's life or blindly gamble on it. Our cooperation is unnecessary to discuss further. Please leave!"
Although Lachlan indirectly saved his son last time, one impressive performance clearly did not convince Albie.
