My Doctor Son-in-law, Clarence

Chapter 40: Sleep In The Room Tonight

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were three major families in Mediterranean City. They were The Hayes family, the Wright family, and the Larson family.

These three families held nearly 80 percent of Mediterranean City’s power.

Clarence might have known Richard Shelby and Johnson Golding, but the power those men held was child’s play compared to what these three families had in their hands.

They were not remotely on the same level!

No wonder everyone was terrified!

Jackson took the silver needles out of the old man’s head before driving off, doing it in front of Clarence.

Before leaving, Jackson warned Clarence, “If anything happens to my father, I’ll find you, even if I have to turn the entirety of Mediterranean City inside out to do it!”

Clarence sighed helplessly as he quietly picked up the silver needles from the ground.

“Come on, let’s go home,” Clarence said as he shook his head.

“Go home?” Miranda was stunned. “Alright, let’s go home.”

Half an hour later.

They were at the intensive care unit of Mediterranean City First Hospital.

“Mr. Hayes, the results of your father’s tests are out.”

Jackson and the rest of his family hurried forth. “How is he, Dr. Turner?

“Is my dad alright?”

“Your father had a stroke. Thankfully, he was sent here in the nick of time. We’ve taken a CT scan of his brain.

“By right, the old master should have had a lot of excess blood in his brain due to the ruptured vessel.

“Strangely, only a third of the amount of blood that’s supposed to be there is in his brain. The rest of the blood is gone,” Dr. Turner said with a confused expression on his face.

His name was Michael Turner, and he was the best neurosurgeon in Mediterranean City.

He had considerable experience and skills regarding treating strokes, which was why the Hayes family had immediately contacted him once they saw that Old Master Hayes had collapsed.

Jackson and his family shuddered.

The excess blood in Old Master Hayes’ brain was gone?

Could Clarence have done that?

Had Clarence been draining the excess blood from Old Master Hayes’ brain?

While the members of the Hayes family were still in confusion, Dr. Turner continued speaking. “You’d better make some preparations. The old master needs to have surgery.

“This surgery is extremely risky.

“The old master is quite elderly, so he only has a fifty percent chance of survival.”

The expressions on Jackson Hayes’, Helena Carter’s, and Ginny Hayes’ faces changed quickly.

Ginny’s eyes were red. “Dr. Turner, please save my grandfather!”

Jackson also said in a low voice, “Dr. Turner, you must save my father!

“I’ll pay however much money is required!

“Ten million dollars! A hundred million dollars!

“Name your price!”

Michael said helplessly, “Mr. Hayes, I know the Hayes Consortium is extremely well to do. Is there anyone who wouldn’t be happy to earn more money?

“Sadly, money isn’t the issue here.”

When Jackson heard what Michael had said, he knew the odds were stacked against his father.

“Dad, do you want to find that man?” Ginny suggested.

“Why should we find him? Ginny, you don’t think that the young man saved your grandfather, do you?” The expression on Helena’s face sank.

Jackson nodded. “He’s a charlatan!

“Not even Dr. Turner can do much, yet he could drain the excess blood from your grandfather’s brain just with three silver needles?”

“Dad…” Ginny tried to protest.

Helena interrupted her daughter impatiently. “Your father is right. Would that young man be dressed so shabbily if he was truly so skilled? He was wearing cheap clothing from head to toe.

“All he wants is to scam us out of some money!

“Ask him to cure your grandfather?

“Wouldn’t you be worried?”

Michael was stunned. “What silver needles? What young man?”

Helena explained what had happened outside Love Sea Restaurant.

“Haha, how could things be so simple? I’ve never heard of people draining excess blood from the brain using silver needles,” Michael said as he shook his head and laughed.

As a student of Western medicine, he had always looked down on traditional medicine.

“Jackson, I’ll get in touch with the experts at Beth City and have them come take a look,” Helena said as she took out her phone.

“Alright, I’ll contact my business friends and see if they know any overseas stroke experts!” Jackson said as he nodded, a solemn expression on his face.

The old master had multiple contacts and connections in Beth City.

The Hayes family was doing well in Mediterranean City because the old master was still alive. They succeeded at everything they did because of him.

The old master’s passing would be a huge blow to the family.

Both Jackson and Helena understood the importance that the old master held.

The old master could not die!

Miranda went to take a shower after she arrived home with Clarence. Then, instead of going up to the second floor, she sat in her pajamas, hugging her legs to herself as she sat on the first floor’s couch and watched television.

She waited for Clarence to finish taking his shower and exit the bathroom.

“Clarence,” Miranda called out to him.

Clarence was confused. “What’s wrong?”

“Can we not talk about getting divorced for now?” Miranda looked like a child who had gotten herself in trouble.

His heart softening, Clarence nodded quietly.

“Alright.”

Miranda heaved a sigh of relief.

Clarence turned and walked into the room. He did not come out again until the middle of the night when he needed to use the toilet.

Miranda was still sitting on the couch, and she stared at Clarence.

“It’s already two. Why aren’t you asleep?” Clarence was surprised.

Miranda shook her head. “Couldn’t fall asleep.”

“Go to bed,” Clarence said as he walked into the bathroom.

When he came out once again, Miranda called out to Clarence. “Why don’t… why don’t you sleep in the room tonight? The room on the second floor?”
