Chapter 469 Rich

After reviewing the medical records, Professor John made his decision. He addressed Bright, "This

hospital’s medicine certainly won't save the patient."

Avery, somewhat flustered, urged the professor, "Professor John, please think of something!"

"Don't worry, Avery. Since I’m here, I will definitely help save your father-in-law. He needs the new

medicine we've recently developed at Harvard University. That medicine is the only solution that can

save him."

"Well, if we have the medicine, then use it quickly, Professor!" Avery implored, desperately hoping

for a solution.

"Avery, that medicine is extremely precious; it's taken my team twenty years to develop. As such, it's

quite expensive. It costs one hundred billion dollars to inject your father-in-law with just one dose.

Three doses should make him healthy and bring him back from his deathbed."

Professor John had come from far away with the intention of making a profit. The biggest difference

between modern medicine and shamanic healing is that modern medicine is about making money;

it's driven by profit. Shamanic healing from the USA, on the other hand, aims to save lives and heal

the sick with a focus on divine blessing.

When Daniel heard the professor's price, he was flabbergasted. One hundred billion per shot, three

hundred billion for three shots? This professor clearly came to fleece them rather than to heal.

Unable to stay silent any longer, Daniel hastily urged Avery, "Mom, I can treat grandfather's illness,

and it’s not going to cost three hundred billion. If you can’t figure out how to spend that money, you

can give it to me as a wedding fund. After all, I've called you 'mom' so many times now."

"Go away! Don't interfere here! If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll kick you out!" Avery scolded

Daniel, clearly agitated.

After being reprimanded by Avery once more, Daniel knew it was best to remain silent.

"Professor John, please administer the medicine right away, and as for the price of a hundred billion

per shot—it's not an issue. If you can really save him, The Matthews will give you five hundred

billion," Avery announced, showing just how 'rich' she was. For The Matthews, the third-wealthiest

family in New York, five hundred billion was almost like a mere five hundred dollars to a common

household.

"Avery, my medication requires payment upfront before administration. So, you'll need to pay the

first hundred billion for us to inject the first shot. Once it takes effect, you can then transfer the

remaining four hundred billion," insisted Professor John.

Avery found this demand infuriating. How could a doctor be so unreasonable?

Professor John clarified, "You misunderstand, Avery. This isn't about debt; it's simply my policy. If

you want my treatment, you have to pay first. If you're not willing to proceed, I'll leave right now."

Witnessing this, Down quickly stepped in to mediate, "Avery, I went to great lengths to bring

Professor John all the way from abroad. Saving the old man is the top priority—let's address the

payment."

Despite her strong resentment, Avery managed to suppress her anger and transferred the first

hundred billion to Professor John's account.
