Although he was unhappy, he was still polite due to Cathleen's status.
"What's the matter?" Frank restrained his unhappiness and asked politely.
"We need your help." Patrick immediately said, "Have you not ate yet? Why don't we find a restaurant to sit down and chat slowly?"
"I don't have to eat." Before Patrick finished speaking, Frank politely refused him. "I have something to do later. Let's say your need here."
"Well, then we'll treat you when you're available." Although Patrick was not happy for his invitation was refused, he still remembered his purpose today.
He thought for a moment and said, "Well, we heard that the experts in the National Hospital are quite skillful, especially Dr. Charles who specializes in tumor conquering. You also know my wife's illness. Director Frank, if the old man can cure her..."
Then he paused and looked up at Frank. "I heard that you knew several experts from the National Hospital, so we're here to ask for your help. I don't know if you can help."
"Do you want to see Dr. Charles?"
"Yes, if my wife can be treated by him, I believe there will be a miracle."
Frank kept silent for a few seconds before he said. "We do know each other, but he will not treat others easily."
"We also know that he is skillful. So we just want to beg you to help us see him."
He was an expert of the National Hospital, so not everyone can see him.
Even with Cathleen's help, Patrick and Margot were not sure that they can get his help.
"It's not so difficult." Frank nodded after thinking awhile, "He's having a meeting in our hospital now, and the meeting should be almost over. Well, I'm going to find him, so you can go with me."
