Chapter 55: Jack’s illness

He could only stand up with a low bow and said

"Mr. Powell, you look much better. You really deserve to be called Dr. Smith. Your medical skills are amazing!"

Neville couldn’t be bothered with Jack’s flattery. He looked at the bodyguard behind him and asked, "Where is the Alex?"

The bodyguard’s expression remained unchanged, and he spoke sparingly,

"Just left." Neville nodded, reached out and patted Claire’s hand on the wheelchair, and said, "Dr. Smith, thank you for your help today. I’ll leave now". After saying this, he even warned Jack with his eyes before saying, "You can continue with your work if you encounter any trouble, be sure to tell me"

"Mr. Powell, I won’t let him off lightly!"

Jack was frightened by Neville’s words and complained bitterly. But he couldn’t refuse, so he could only smile and nod his head. Claire smiled and nodded in response to Neville’s departure

Thank you, Mr. Powell Please take care of yourself. With the way you’re developing, your illness will soon be cured."

Neville nodded with satisfaction and was pushed away by the bodyguard. It wasn’t until the door was closed again that Jack breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the sofa as if he were exhausted.

Claire brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Jack. With a hint of sarcasm in her voice, she asked, "Uncle, you seem to be very weak?" Upon hearing this, Jack’s face stiffened, and he awkwardly pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Yes, I stayed up late last night and was too tired".

As he spoke, Jack took a sip of tea to calm himself down.

"It must have been hard on you". Claire narrowed her eyes, a hint of mockery flashing in them.

"wipe your sweat Uncle." Claire handed him a tissue and asked, "How long have you been in this condition"

He took the tissue and wiped the sweat off his forehead while asking in confusion, "What condition?"

Claire smiled, pointed to the tissue he was wiping his sweat with and said, Don’t tell me that this sweat is from being scared.

"If I’m not mistaken, you often sweat profusely with just a little movement.

Jack was stunned, and his mouth twitched a few times. He had no choice but to admit," To be honest with you, my kidneys are not very good."

"Uh-huh." Claire nodded, and in a gentle tone, she comforted him, "Your condition is also a normal

phenomenon"

"A normal phenomenon?" Jack was stunned.

"Yes". She nodded and explained, "As people reach their middle age, their kidney function declines, and there are many people with this condition."

"But judging from your appearance, perhaps this condition has been present since your youth?" Claire asked.

Jack’s face turned red, and he nervously looked around before answering her question, "Claire does your office have good sound insulation?"

Claire smiled and nodded. "Don’t worry, as a doctor, I have an obligation to protect the privacy of my patients."

"Phew". Hearing her say this, Jack finally let go of his worries. Since that’s the case, let’s talk about it Jack suddenly became serious and looked at Claire with a serious expression. Claire raised her eyebrows, indicating for him to continue.

Jack pursed his lips and said, "I’ve had this condition since my youth."

"I’ve been married to your aunt, my wife for many years, but we’ve never had a child."

"At first, I thought it was your second aunt’s problem, so I took her to the hospital for many tests. The result..."

"The problem was with me." he looked embarrassed as he glanced at Claire and said, "But later on, it got a little better."

"A few years ago, I got to know a famous doctor through some connections."

"I followed his prescription, and soon your second aunt’s stomach had a reaction."

"Originally, I thought this disease had left me."

"But who knew."

Jack looked bitter, shook his head and sighed, "The situation in recent years has been very bad, even worse than before."

To be honest, I’ve had several dialysis Jack’s face turned red and white, his eyes fixed on Claire’s pretty face, trying to find any flaws. Unfortunately, the truth disappointed him...

"Uncle, you may not believe my diagnosis, but what I said is the truth. "Jack stared, his mouth moved, and it took him a long time to utter a few words

"I, I have to go home!"

As soon as he got up, as if he remembered something, Jack paused, like a deflated ball, and slumped back on the chair.

"well..."

Claire sighed heavily, put on a pitiful gesture, looked at Claire, and said "Claire, there is something, can you discuss it with your husband?"

Claire blinked her beautiful eyes, and replied without thinking "The things he decides are always impossible to change, even if it is me, there is no way. Instead of worrying about these, Uncle should worry about his body."

"According to your current state, within half a year, you will be lying in the hospital forever."

"While there is still room for improvement in the condition, I advise you to accept treatment honestly."

Hearing this, Jack had mixed feelings in his heart, but he still did not give up and said:

"Claire, you are so humble I can see that Alex still listens to you very much."

"Besides, you can’t get involved in other things."

"You can definitely do this!" Jack took a step forward, spoke softly, even bent down, looked at Claire and said with a wry smile:

"Alex asked me to stay in this hospital for two months to receive treatment and not allowed to leave. Claire, you are the doctor, how long I will be hospitalized is up to you to decide not him."

"See if this works. Just say that I’m fine. Let me go home first and ask my family what’s going on. Then, I come back for treatment, what do you think?"

Jack’s attitude towards Claire turned 180 degrees. Although he was very polite at first, it was just for Alex’s sake. But now., knowing that Claire can Cure his illness, Jack treats her with even more respect for her savior.

Looking at Jack’s longing eyes, Claire felt very helpless in her heart. According to him, Alex intends to keep him. "That being the case, I have no reason to go against Alex’s intention Uncle, in your situation, two months is short. If it goes well, it will take half a year at the earliest, and you will be back to normal." Claire was unmoved, and said softly.

"This..." Jack knew in his heart that Claire and Alex were in the same group, and she would never go against Alex just to help him, however, if you give her some benefits...

He gritted his teeth, lowered his Voice, and said "Claire, this disease happened to me, and I must be more anxious to treat it than anyone else."

"Just do me a small favor and let me go home before treatment."

"After this, I will stay in the Medical Center obediently."

Claire frowned slightly, and was about to refute, but saw Jack raised his hand, and said anxiously

"Doctor Smith, if you agree, I will pay double the medical expenses!" She paused, and her beautiful eyes lit up uncontrollably.

It’s not because she loves money, but the cost of treating kidney disease is not a minority. A trace of reluctance flashed across Jack’s face, but he had no choice but to nod his head and replied

"Okay, then you need to worry..."

On the bench at the door of the office, Claire and Alex sat side by side, pleading softly

"This is probably the case, so can you..."

"Let him go home?"

As soon as the words fell, Alex narrowed his eyes, and Claire seemed to sense the danger, and quickly said

"I don’t want to go against your will, but he really needs to talk to his wife about his situation."

"And, ahem, he gave too much..."

"Hehe." Alex smiled lowly, looking at Claire with an obvious smile."Why didn’t you see it at first, you love money so much?"

Hearing this, Claire glared at him with displeasure, and said "When you pay back your money, you will know that I am a person who treats money like dirt!"

Alex nodded without arguing with her, and said, "It’s rare for you to ask me once, how could l refuse however, your benefits have been earned, what about mine?

Claire was taken aback for a moment, angry and funny in her heart, and said, "This benefit is for me? Didn’t I just want to pay you back?"

Alex leaned lazily on the back of the chair, with an indifferent look on his face, and said, "I don’t care about this money."

"You." Claire blushed slightly, glared at him in anger, and said

"What do you want?" Alex pointed to his mouth and smiled meaningfully.

A few minutes later, the door of the office opened, and Alex walked in with several bodyguards.
