The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 56
Jenson felt as if he was struck by a bolt from the blue. ”
That can’t be! How could you say that you can’t do anything when you predicted in advance that my grandfather was going to vomit blood!”
“If you asked me to treat him at the beginning, I can say for certain that I’m confident of curing his illness. But now that there’s so many other factors at play, his condition has worsened and I don’t have a similar level of confidence,” Leon lamented. He said it not because he wanted the old man to die, but because he genuinely did not feel confident in turning the situation around.
Jenson was thunderstruck by what he heard, and his heart was filled with so much regret that he wanted to just slap himself a couple of times.
He knew that time was of the essence when it came to saving a person’s life, and such a golden opportunity would not present itself anymore once the best chance passed!
Everything turned out the way it did because he
distrusted Leon’s medical skills at the beginning and
allowed Hilmar to provide the incorrect treatment. As a
result, his grandfather’s condition worsened and he missed the best chance at saving the old man.
If something did happen to his grandfather, then the biggest responsibility fell on Jenson, for one could almost say that he killed his grandfather himself!
It was a pity that his realization came too late!
“Sir, I’m sorry for questioning your medical skills earlier. I shouldn’t have done that. I’d like to sincerely apologize to you for that… I’m sure you’ll have a way with the kind of medical skills you have, so I’m begging you! Please think of a way! I’m willing to pay you no matter how high your price is!”
Jenson bowed and apologized profusely with the utmost
sincerity.
There was no other option for him and he was not going to give up so easily because Leon was his only hope.
“It’s not about money. I’m not confident…” Leon said helplessly.
“Not confident? This means you have a way, but it’s just that the success rate isn’t high. Am I understanding that correctly?” Jenson’s eyes lit up, and a hopeful glimmer rekindled in his eyes.
“You can put it that way.”
Leon nodded and did not deny it.
“Then what’s the success rate?” Jenson asked cautiously.
“About sixty or seventy percent,” Leon said truthfully.
“Sixty or seventy percent? And you say you’re not confident?” Jenson’s mind went blank and he had the
sudden urge to facepalm.
Graham is a well–known master of medicine, and his
reputation was so great that if any patient dies in his
hands, everyone would think that the patient’s condition
was too serious to be cured. No one would blame Graham
for it.
Leon, on the other hand, was different. If he killed a
patient, said patient’s family would definitely call him a quack and he would even have to pay for it with his life!
Even if the deceased’s family did not blame him, he still had to bear the corresponding legal responsibility for practicing medicine without a license!
All in all, treating a disease and saving someone’s life
were two different things. In the absence of absolute
certainty, Leon could not treat others on a whim, because the death of a patient in his hands would leave him with a bad conscience for the rest of his life!
