Coming down from the hospital building, Aiden took out his car keys and cursed Oliver once again.
His Lexus was completely scrapped, and his BMW had its front damaged and had been sent for repairs by Kathy.
Now he was driving the company's van, making it seem like he was always transporting goods wherever he went...
"Della! Don't run! Be careful!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, followed by someone bumping into him from behind.
Although Aiden didn't turn around, he stepped aside.
Then he saw a fat girl, weighing about two hundred pounds, running past him.
Her right foot stumbled on the curb next to her, and she fell to the ground like a tank!
Her head was definitely going to hit the curb!
With her weight, this fall would definitely result in a concussion, and she might even break her leg!
Without thinking too much, Aiden stepped to the side and grabbed the fat girl's arm, pulling her into his arms.
Then he took two steps back with his feet and blocked her fat waist with his right hand.
He then let her body turn half an arc and her face turn 180 degrees. He shook her twice and stop!
The fat girl originally ran forward, her body swaying half a circle like a tumbler. But now she ran backwards, as if she had done something fun, and she clapped her hands happily!
It's not that he couldn't hold her steady directly, but Aiden certainly didn't want to hug her in that case.
"Thank you!" The person behind caught up and was panting. He was about to say some polite words to Aiden, but stopped in surprise and exclaimed, "Aiden!"
Aiden was also surprised and smiled, "President Shen!"
He hadn't expected this person to be Jacos Shen, the president of the East Sea Chamber of Commerce! He then pointed to the chubby girl next to him and said, "This is..."
Jacos sighed lightly and said to Aiden, "I apologize for my daughter's behavior. This is my daughter, Della Shen!"
Aiden glanced at the chubby girl and said, "She..." Then he pointed to his own head and said to Jacos, "What's wrong with her?"
The chubby girl had cloudy eyes, uncontrolled facial muscles, and a disproportionate figure, all indicating a mental illness.
Jacos smiled bitterly and said, "You are truly discerning. You noticed my daughter's condition at a glance! If it's not too much trouble, could we sit somewhere nearby?"
Next to them was the hospital garden, which had benches for pedestrians to rest.
Aiden and Jacos sat on the bench. Jacos said to his daughter, who was squatting next to them looking at the flowers, "Della, stay here and play, don't run around!"
Della turned her back to him, as if she didn't hear him.
Jacos heaved a heavy sigh and said to Aiden, "When she was eighteen and taking the college entrance exam, my wife, Jenell... Della's mother, and I were driving her to the exam center."
"On the way... we got into a car accident. Jenell, she... she wanted to protect Della..."
Jacos's eyes welled up with tears as he looked at Della and continued, "Since then, Della hasn't been able to speak, her mind became unclear, and she started gaining weight."
"We've seen many doctors, and they say it's damage to the pituitary gland. But there's no treatment plan, only regular injections to suppress further damage to the pituitary gland!"
"The downside is that her intelligence will decline, and she'll continue to gain weight..."
"It's been so many years, and how I wish I could hear her call me 'dad' again!"
"Now it seems that I may never hear it again..."
Jacos covered his eyes with his hands, as if trying to force himself not to think about the future.
Aiden looked at the old man with gray hair and felt a pang of sympathy, he was trying to console him, "Mr. Shen, don't lose heart. Every illness has a cure, and brain disorders are not untreatable..."
Jacos sighed. He shook his head and said, "I've tried all the top doctors in the country."
"I don't even know how much money I've spent, but none of them can help! I've..."
Jacos suddenly stopped talking. His eyes widened, and he turned his head to look at Aiden excitedly, his trembling lips betraying his emotion.
What's going on? Why did his expression look like he was about to pounce on Aiden?
Aiden leaned back, he tilted his head slightly and said, "Mr. Shen? Please, control yourself."
Grabbing Aiden's hand, Jacos exclaimed, "I've been talking about finding an expert, and here I am sitting in front of one!"
"Aiden, my friend, you must have a way to save my daughter, right?"
"Even if all the doctors in the world say it's impossible, you must have a way, right?"
Wait, I don't even have that information myself. Who gave you the courage to make such bold claims on my behalf?
"Cough, Mr. Shen, I really don't have that ability..." Aiden quickly waved his hands and said.
But before he finished speaking, Jacos said firmly, "No, you have it! Only you have it!"
Aiden was helpless and shook his head, "Mr. Shen, why do you think that I am that extraordinary..."
Jacos interrupted firmly, "Because you're from Green Mountain! Because you're the descendant of a divine doctor! This isn't imagination, it's confidence!"
Aiden's expression changed, and he squinted at Jacos, "Mr. Shen, do you know my master?"
"I had the honor of meeting the immortal sixteen years ago!" Jacos seemed to recall something and looked fascinated.
Aiden's heart skipped a beat. Sixteen years ago? Wasn't that the year his parents had their accident?
Aiden didn't ask anything else, he just glanced at the chubby girl.
In fact, according to his skewed aesthetic, if the chubby girl could lose about fifty pounds, she would be more to his taste. But she was currently way beyond that weight, and he felt nothing.
Of course, he had no intention of developing feelings for her, but he was genuinely interested in trying to cure her illness.
"Don't worry, I won't ask you to do it for free. I'll reward you! If you can cure my daughter's illness, I'll give you five million! Even if you can't cure her, I'll still give you two million!" Jacos said boldly to Aiden.
Aiden said calmly, "I want 10 million!"
"Oh..." Jacos looked embarrassed. He couldn't tell if Aiden was a ruthless person, as he had directly mentioned a sky-high price!
Was it worth it? Definitely!
If his daughter could become a normal person, even twenty million would be worth it!
The title of the descendant of a divine doctor was worth that price alone!
Just as Jacos was about to agree through gritted teeth, Aiden added another sentence, "I'm not asking for it, I want to borrow!"
"I'll borrow from you ten million, and I'll pay you back later."
"I'll help cure your daughter, and after she's cured, you can pay me whatever you think is appropriate. I don't mind!"
Jacos was stunned for a moment, he looked at Aiden and asked, "Aiden, are you facing financial difficulties? Do you urgently need money?"
Aiden nodded and said, "My wife's company is facing a difficult situation and needs this money. I'll pay you back after we get through this!"
"Alright, Aiden, whenever you need it. I'll have someone deliver it to your company!" Jacos said decisively.
Aiden looked at him and said, "Now!"
At the Panlong Bay, Ning Family Villa. Lucas yawned and said to the old lady who was still resting with her eyes closed, "Mom, who are we waiting for? It's been almost an hour, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
The old lady said without opening her eyes, "Anyone who can't wait can leave!"
Lucas rubbed his nose and remained silent.
Just then, there was a sound of a car in the yard, and soon a person walked in and said to the old lady, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
Lucas turned his head to look. He immediately frowned and angrily shouting at him, "Aiden who let you come? This is my family's gathering, you are an interloping son-in-law, what qualifications do you have to participate?"
The old ady looked at him expressionlessly and said, "I asked Aiden to come, do you have any objections?"
