Chapter 1066: Chapter 1067: The Bait Is Sufficient

Taking a sip of coffee, Warner directly got to the point and said, “Doctor Song, may I ask, if you continue to treat my wife, what is the probability that she can be cured?”

Song Xiaodong slowly took a sip and said, “Currently, using acupuncture can only prevent her condition from worsening. To say cure, it is still very difficult.”

Warner immediately said, “So other methods are needed to assist the treatment?”

“Yes, medication is still required, and that is the most important. You should also know that the patient is now old, her body functions have largely aged, and her immunity and cell recovery ability are very minimal. Only by concocting medicines to restore her function can her cells regain vitality and she truly recover her health.”

Warner squinted his eyes and said, “If that’s the case according to you, wouldn’t it be possible to delay human aging?”

“That’s correct, in the history of China, there definitely have been many who lived a century, but this is again too opportunistic. After all, it is extremely difficult to concoct such medicines, as each required material is quite rare, and sometimes even with the force of a nation, it is impossible to gather these materials.”

As he spoke, Song Xiaodong shook his head, showing a very regretful expression.

Warner was clearly very interested in what Song Xiaodong said. He asked, “Then Doctor Song, can you tell me the names of these medicines and let our Walter Family try?”

Song Xiaodong looked at Warner cautiously and said, “That’s absolutely impossible. This is already a matter of extreme confidentiality, and I will absolutely not disclose it, Mr. Warner. Please do not make things difficult for me.”

Warner said, “So what you mean is that even if there is such a method, my wife cannot live a few more years?”

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, “Not necessarily. If we can find some of the medications, there can still be a certain effect. I can guarantee that the patient can live for five more years without issue.”

Warner’s eyes brightened and he said, “Are you serious about this?” As someone who is also over eighty, he too felt the aging of body functions. And at this age, as they get closer to death, they cherish their lives more. What Song Xiaodong said was not only attractive for his wife but also had strong appeal to him.

Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and said, “You can choose not to believe me. I’m just doing my best. To make such a guarantee has already surpassed what a doctor should say.”

In fact, what Song Xiaodong said was true. In today’s hospitals, even if there is 99% certainty, that 1% chance of mishaps must be communicated to patients and families, and they would emphasize this to avoid medical disputes later. Song Xiaodong’s kind of guarantee was something a doctor shouldn’t normally say.

Warner naturally understood this point, saying, “Then Doctor Song, how much do we need to pay?”

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, “I’m not lacking money. Though I can’t compare with your Walter Family, I still have billions.”

Warner was stunned for a moment and re-evaluated Song Xiaodong, saying, “Doctor Song, I really didn’t expect you to have such a robust asset base.”

Song Xiaodong gave a faint smile and said, “Although I’m a doctor, I have many businesses. So money is not important to me. Treating your wife is only because of Karen’s filial piety. Not everyone would go to the extent of breaking their own arm to prove my medical skills. It’s his trust in me, and as a return, this is why I’m doing it.”

Even though Warner and some Walter Family members knew what Karen had done, hearing it from Song Xiaodong made them appreciate Karen a bit more.

Warner then asked, “Then Mr. Song, what kind of cooperation does our Warner Family need for the medicines you mentioned?”

Song Xiaodong hesitated for a moment and said, “How about this, you help me find certain medications. If these medications can be found, I’ll concoct them into finished medicines.”

Warner happily said, “Great, then Doctor Song, please lend us your expertise. Our Walter Family will definitely do everything to find these medicines.”

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, “Mr. Warner, don’t make such promises. These medicines cannot just be bought with money. Some are even legendary items, and no one knows if they indeed exist in this world.”

Warner said, “But we have to try, right? For my wife, I will spare no expense.”

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll draw the required medicines for you. Perhaps what is considered a treasure in our Chinese Traditional Medicine might turn out to be something unnecessary in England.”

Joseph immediately said, “Right, right, after all, we don’t use herbs in England to prepare medications, so there’s a good chance there might be what you need.”

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “Let’s leave it at that for today. I’m really too exhausted now; I want to rest a bit.”

This time, Song Xiaodong was arranged into a guest room. After taking a shower, he directly found a pen and paper and began drawing.

What needed to be done now had mostly been done, which was to lay the groundwork for this occasion. As long as these images mixed with Fire Spirit Grass were handed to the Walter Family, then wait for whatever they decide to do.

It didn’t take long for Betty to come in with Sun Yiyi and Feng Kexin. Feng Kexin leaned closer to Song Xiaodong and curiously said, “Brother, what are you drawing?”

“Drawing herbs,” Song Xiaodong replied very seriously.

“Haha… Brother, your drawing skills…” Feng Kexin couldn’t help but laugh.

Sun Yiyi also joined and her face turned grim, saying, “Dongzi, if you expect the Walter Family to find these based on your drawings, I’m afraid they won’t find anything in a lifetime.”

Song Xiaodong laughed awkwardly, admitting that his drawings were indeed not quite like what he imagined, saying, “I feel like they’re just some leaves and flowers, but when drawn, they look different from what’s in my mind. Why don’t you guys draw?”

Feng Kexin and Sun Yiyi immediately shook their heads, indicating that they couldn’t draw either.

Betty then said, “I wonder if I can help; I’ve learned how to draw.”

Song Xiaodong immediately stood up and said, “Good, then you draw. This troublesome stuff is really hard for me.”

Since this was to be given to the Walter Family anyway, Song Xiaodong didn’t mind letting Betty draw, which also saved him from the hassle.
