Clarence nodded. He and Johnson both knew what was going on.

It was obvious that the people who wanted Old Master Hayes dead were the members of the other two families.

“What are you doing here?”

Just outside the elevator, Clarence and Johnson were halted by a group of fierce-looking guards glaring at them.

“We’re here to help treat Old Master Hayes’ illness,” Johnson quickly explained.

“Treat his illness? Under whose recommendation?!” thundered the leader of the group coldly.

Johnson forced a smile and replied, “Young Master Hayes recommended us.”

It was only after that that the leader finally relaxed his expression and nodded. “Please ask the Young Master to come and invite you in personally. If not, we can’t let you in.”

“Sure.”

Johnson did not hesitate for even a moment as he took out his phone to dial a number.

“Master Howard, let’s wait here, the young master will be inviting us inside shortly.”

“Will do.”

Clarence did not mind the wait at all. He stood at the mouth of the hallway, silently waiting.

Within two minutes of the call, a young man in his twenties rushed over and frowned the very moment he laid eyes on Johnson and Clarence.

Jeremy Hayes thought to himself, ‘A miracle doctor should be an old man, eighty-years-old at least, right?

‘Johnson, you brought me a young man in his twenties?’

“Johnson, is this the miracle doctor that you spoke of?” Jeremy glared coldly at Johnson as he said those words.

“Master Howard, this is Young Master Jeremy Hayes.”

Johnson quickly introduced the two men. “Young Master Hayes, this is Master Howard. He’s really amazing, he…”

“Enough.” Jeremy waved at him impatiently. “Darn it, Johnson. Even if you’re going to play me for a fool, at least find someone who actually looks the part, yes?”

This Master Howard looked so young, even if he had started learning medicine inside his mother’s womb…

How good could he be with so few years of experience?

“Um…” Johnson was at a loss for words.

Clarence glanced at Jeremy, “Your kidney is starting to worsen. I believe it is due to your chronic use of libido drugs.

“It’s alright to play around while you’re still young, but too much can lead to kidney damage.

“Sometimes, you’ll experience some pain in the area about three inches beneath your belly. You can’t drink cold water because every time you do, it hurts when you piss.

“For now, this is just a minor ailment and completely treatable.

“However, if you keep going on like this, one day you’ll completely lose the ability to get an erection.”

“You…” Jeremy’s eyes widened as he stared at Clarence in disbelief.

Only his private doctor knew about such a private matter of his.

This was the first time they had met, so how could Clarence know about his ailment?

This was amazing!

Simply amazing!

“Master, how did you know about this?

“Can I still be saved?” Jeremy was getting emotional.

“Yes, you can be saved. The question is, should I save you first, or your grandpa?” Clarence stared teasingly at Jeremy.

Jeremy smacked his head and replied, “Of course we save Grandpa first. After you, Master Howard, after you!”

“Everyone move out of the way!”

Jeremy’s voice was thunderous, and the guards at the entrance made way for Clarence and Johnson.

Jeremy was a playboy, a womanizer, and had no interest in learning any martial arts.

Still, he still understood well what would happen to the Hayes family if his grandfather died.

If his grandfather actually passed away, his title and reputation as Young Master Hayes would suffer a great blow.

Following Jeremy’s lead, Clarence walked into Joshua Hayes’ ICU ward.

A flurry of white coats surrounded Joshua, inserting countless tubes into him.

A couple of people in their fifties were gathered in the room, discussing something.

Jackson, Helena, and Ginny were there as well, standing off to the side with concerned looks on their faces.

There was nothing more important than the old master’s life right now.

As long as Old Master Hayes was alive, then the Hayes Consortium would still be the Hayes Consortium!

But once the old master died, the pillar and anchor of the company was no more. The family would crumble to nothing.

“Dad, I’ve brought Master Howard here to cure grandpa,” Jeremy exclaimed.

Everyone in the room turned to gaze at the door.

“What master? Jeremy, stop fooling around!

“These famous doctors from Beth City are coming up with a plan to save him right now!” Helena retorted.

Jackson, who had remained silent all this while, suddenly looked at Clarence with a cold gaze. “It’s you?”

“How can it be you again?” Helena recognized Clarence as well.

They had met Clarence at the entrance of Love Sea Restaurant, hadn’t they?

How dare he come here now, pretending to be a miracle doctor!

“Mom, Dad, you know Master Howard?” Jeremy was surprised.

Jackson scoffed coldly, “Hmph! What ‘Master Howard’? He’s just a fraud, how can you bring him here?”

“Mom, Dad, he really is skillful. He might be able to save grandpa,” Jeremy continued to explain.

Those few, simple sentences had described his symptoms perfectly. Jeremy had complete trust in Clarence already.

An elderly man among the group spoke up, sounding unhappy. “Young Master Hayes, I have practiced medicine for many years now, and even I think Old Master Hayes’ case is very tricky!

“One slip-up might put his life in danger.

“Tell me, Young Master Hayes, did you bring this little runt here to humiliate me?”

The man was Boris Lowe, a renowned specialist in Beth City. He was proficient and very skilled at both Western and Chinese medicine alike.

Many of the big shots in Beth City had put him on a pedestal.

If Helena had not utilized her connections to the Clark family, Boris would never have come to Mediterranean City in the middle of the night to assess Old Master Hayes’ condition and decide on a treatment plan in the same night.

Jeremy bowed in respect and said, “Master Lowe, I didn’t mean that. What I meant was, we should let Master Howard have a say in this as well.”

“Master Howard, Master Howard!

“Forget it! Since you think that I’m that incompetent, I should just leave.”

Boris swished out his sleeves, about to leave the room with the rest of his people.

Jackson and Helena were shaken when they saw this, so they quickly rushed forward and apologized profusely, begging Boris to stay.

It was at that moment…

Clarence laughed coldly, “It’s already clear that you can’t treat him, so you’re making some kind of excuse to leave now?”

The previously bustling room suddenly became pin-drop-silent.
