Fade ignored them and went back into the medicine center.
Otto asked, "Fade, what is up about Gael's father's illness?"
Fade said, "I took a look at his father's case notes just now. If he continues to take our medication, he will recover after finishing his final course. However, Gael insisted on sending his father next door, so there will definitely be a clash in his new medication with his previous one. Hence, I know for sure that his condition will worsen."
"I see!" Otto nodded and sighed, "I hope Gael still has a conscience. He shouldn't have put his father at risk for his own selfish needs."
"I hope so too!" Fade said slowly.
Around fifteen minutes later, Gael came back with an old man in a wheelchair.
He rushed to the entrance anxiously and took out a prescription. "Please, I'm here for the
medicine!"
Fade stood up and scoffed lightly, "I'm sorry but weren't you skeptical about our center? Please leave!"
"I believe you now, okay? Give me the medicine!"
Fade shook his head and rejected him. "No, I am not interested in your business."
"Aren't you a doctor? How could you leave him to die?" Gael questioned.
Fade said, "I recall someone calling me a liar earlier, saying that my medical center is corrupt. Didn't you claim that your father was doing much better after going next door? Well, go back to them then!"
"You..." Gael was speechless for a moment.
With a thud, he knelt down in front of Fade and pleaded, "I know I was wrong. Please save my father."
Fade snorted and his gaze turned cold. "Oh, now you're begging for mercy? Sadly, this is not enough."
"Not enough! What... What do you want?"
Gael asked.
"Come clean. Who put you up to this? Who is the one ordering you to slander Sincere Medicine Center?"
"I..." Gael pursed his lips with a hesitant expression.
"You can have as much time as you want to think about it, but do remember that your father doesn't have the same luxury of time."
While they were talking, Gael's father suddenly coughed violently and his face turned red.
Seeing this, Gael couldn't stand it anymore and gushed, "I'll tell you everything."
"Yesterday, a reporter from Lichee Daily came to me and gave me a hundred thousand in cash, requesting me to do this."
"Lichee Daily!" Fade's gaze became fierce.
At that moment, the rest of the protestors turned to glare at Gael, all outraged.
However, he continued, "The reporter also mentioned that he would hire some other people to join the protest and stir up trouble." As soon as they heard this, the protestors began to grow wary. They exchanged looks at each other.
Some left immediately and the crowd also dispersed.
"I've told you everything I know. Now, please give me the medicine and save my father!" Gael begged as he shook the prescription in his hand.
Fade shook his head and said, "I can't fill your prescription."
"You tricked me! I'm killing you." Gael was furious and rushed towards him.
