The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 706

Claire grabbed a small stool and sat down, helping Silas prep the medicinal herbs.

She took the opportunity to explain exactly why Lawler had invited her over.

She also mentioned that she and Lawler were currently working in the same laboratory on a joint project.

Lawler’s prejudice against traditional medicine was gone, but he simply didn't know how to communicate with his father, let alone how to pull him out of the lingering shadow of his mother's death.

Silas hadn't expected this at all, and he certainly hadn't expected such a young girl to have such incredible accomplishments in traditional medicine.

"Are you saying I wasn't wrong back then? That traditional medicine really could have cured my wife's illness?"

His wife had been tormented by illness every single day, and Silas had watched it happen, his heart aching with every passing moment.

"In theory, it was absolutely viable, but for the practical reality, I need to understand your late wife's exact condition first."

Silas's eyes lit up. "That's easy. I was so focused on curing her back then that I recorded every single change in her condition and every medication I used."

He immediately went into the house, rummaging through his cabinets until he found his old medical journals.

Claire flipped through the pages one by one, writing down her own prescriptions right below his medication logs.

Her prescriptions weren't drastically different from Silas's, but her approach was distinctly bolder and far more effective.

In medicine, the margin between a cure and a catastrophe is razor-thin.

It wasn't that his methods were wrong; his medical skills simply fell a bit short compared to the young woman sitting before him.

"Silas, don't be too hard on yourself."

Claire gently comforted him. "You were her husband. You saw firsthand how much pain she was in after getting sick."

"You couldn't bear to use aggressive treatments because you didn't want her to suffer any more than she already was."

"Besides, when treating your own wife, it's inevitable to second-guess yourself, which led to a more conservative approach with the medication."
