Female NovelChapter 961
Frank soon arrived at the back and stepped inside a detached house to meet the patient from anillustrious family.
He soon saw that the patient-who was sipping tea leisurely at the guest room-was a familiar face.
"It's really been a while, Mr. Lawrence." Gus Zeller nodded in greeting.
The man was with Willy Sorano when they attacked the Southstream Lanes, and he was now strokinghis beard while smiling at Frank. "I'm surprised you've come all this way to Morhen. May I ask what thepurpose of your trip is?"
Though his attitude was a stark contrast to when they first met, Frank shook his head. "Just a littlepersonal errand."
Then, turning toward Abel, Frank asked quietly, "Could this be the patient you mentioned?
"Yes." Abel nodded and smiled, seeing that they were already acquainted." I guess this is what theycall fate. ”
Frank said nothing-he actually had a bad impression of Gus since he was a member of the Soranofamily.
Both the sons of the Soranos' leader, be it Hubert Sorano or Willy Sorano, were endlessly pompousand always abusing their statuses as his heirs.
To be frank, Frank did not want to help Gus either.
Seeing that Frank was quiet, Abel presumed that he was hesitant because of Gus' condition andpromptly explained, "Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Zeller said that he sustained this condition three years ago atSouth Sea. It's now relapsing, causing a buildup of excess vigor on his chest and causing a lot of pain.
"Moreover, if your treatment is successful, Mr. Zeller will be paying you a commission, in addition toLoggins Apothecary's standard payment for consultation." "Really?" Frank was surprised... Not aboutpayment being made by either parties, but the reason Gus was taken ill.
Three years ago, at South Sea...
Still, Frank stayed impassive despite his surprise and nodded.
"In that case, I'll try my best," he said, walking toward Gus while waving Abel off. "Leave US." "Okay."Abel quickly bowed his head and left in a beat.
Though it was his own turf, he somehow was not upset that he was chased out.
When he stepped out and saw his grandson, he was smiling at Jim. "So?novelbin
That woman and her daughter returned, didn't they?" "How'd you know?" Jim did a double take andsighed. "I can't even begin to understand Mr. Lawrence's wisdom in medicine-it's too much for me, andit's clear I'm the ignorant one. I finally understand why you hold him in such high esteem, Grandpa.""Oh, as long as you get it." Abel chuckled, clapping him on the shoulder as he saw that his grandsonwas won over.
He had Jim stay with Frank just so that he could see Frank's methods for himself, otherwise, whateverhe said would not ever convince Jim of the true might of Draconian traditional medicine.
Meanwhile, inside the guest room, Gus glanced at Frank and chuckled." Why so serious? Have aseat." 'Til stand," Frank said quietly, shaking his head. "I have some questions for you that concern
your condition. Please do not lie.”
