Chapter 2054
The First Heir
Dr. Gates sighed and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. Finally, he said, âYoung
Master Philip, have you ever heard of something called the golden blood in this world?â
Philip abruptly reacted and said, âIt has something to do with golden blood?â
Dr. Gates nodded and said, âYoung Master Philip, truth be told, 20 years ago, I was fortunate enough to
have encountered a patient with golden blood. That patientâs condition was very similar to the young
madamâs. She underwent two childbirths and had a hemorrhage during her second delivery. Later, her
blood flow collapsed and her body quickly deteriorated. All vitality in her blood essence was lost. In less
than three years, the patient passed away and left two children behind.â
âI have visited famous doctors and read various ancient books, but thereâs no treatment for this
disease. It can be said that for people with golden blood, regardless of men or women, the blood flow in
their bodies will collapse at a certain age. Within three years, they will die.â
Dr. Gatesâ face was full of chagrin and regret. He had practiced medicine all his life and saved
countless people.
However, the patient back then had become a source of his heartache for decades.
In the past 20 years, he had read countless books and searched for countless famous doctors, but he
was unable to find a cure for the golden blood disease. There was nothing more regrettable for a
medical practitioner than failing to save a patient.
Philip was silent before muttering, âGolden blood? Is it because of the golden blood?â
Dr. Gates nodded and said, âAccording to the current medical terminology, this golden blood is a very
rare and special blood type. I once studied this blood type with my friends. This blood type wasnât born
from nature but artificially created by man. This blood type is constantly depriving people of their vital
life force. As for who created it, I really canât find out. However, based on my understanding, someone
who can spend so much to artificially create this blood type must not be an ordinary person and should
have some kind of ulterior motive. Perhaps if we can find this person or mysterious organization, there
could be a remedy for the young madamâs illness.â
Philip frowned, and his eyes flashed with chills. He thought to himself, âIs it related to the Lovelace
family?â
Philip took a deep breath and asked, âDr. Gates, is there anything that can temporarily relieve Wynnieâs
illness?â
Dr. Gates narrowed his eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, âYoung Master Philip, to be honest, I
still havenât found a remedy to deal with it.â
Upon hearing this, Philipâs heart trembled. âNo remedy? In that case, Wynnieâ¦â
âButâ¦â Suddenly, Dr. Gates said.
Philip quickly asked, âBut what? Do you have a way?â
Dr. Gates nodded before shaking his head and saying, âI read this in an ancient book. Perhaps it might
be helpful to the young madamâs current condition, but Iâm not very sure about it.â
âWhat book? What method? As long as thereâs a way, we can try,â Philip said.
Dr. Gates nodded and said, âYoung Master Philip, the method recorded in this ancient book is too
mysterious, or rather, too shocking. The three herbs needed for this prescription are not something
ordinary people can find.â
âWhat herbs are those? No matter how much they cost, I can buy them!â Philip said solemnly.
Dr. Gates shook his head and said, âThe first two herbs can be obtained with your identity and the
Clarke familyâs background. They are the thousand year mandrake and the thousand year belladonna.
However, Iâve never seen this third ingredient nor even heard of anyone ownng it. Even the current
developed medical system has no record of this item.â
âWhat is it?â Philip asked.
