When Gwen heard the reporterâs stupid question, her face darkened and she retorted bluntly, âCan your wife get out of bed the next day after getting a C-section? The reporter replied, âUsually she canât, but you guys are top-notch doctors. I thought that the patient would be able to move freely tomorrow.â
Gwen didnât know what to say.
She frowned and retorted, âWeâre doctors, not gods. Alright, todayâs interview ends here. As for the treatment. effect, weâll tell the public after the exchange meeting in a few days. You can know the results then.â
Traditional and modern medicine doctors had different treatment methods for cervical vertebrae patients. Moreover, the patient that got traditional treatment was already awake and in good condition.
Many people thought that this was definitely thanks to Jonathan Woods. All of them sighed. âAs expected of Master Quigleyâs disciples. Impressive!â
âIndeed. I wonder if I can raise the stakes. I feel like Iâm betting too little.â âOf course, we can.
Otherwise, why are we here in the first place? Iâve already added 75 thousand dollars.â âReally? Are you kidding me?â âNo. Look, Henry Dalton is over there.â
At the conference, Henry set up a table. He blinked his pretty eyes and shouted with a smile, âCome, come, come. A bet every day. Bet on traditional medicine and be rich. Take a gamble and your life will be changed.â Many people gathered around to raise the stakes.
Staff from the hospital also came over. Annalise saw that Henry was shouting excitedly. She was also interested and said, âIâll bet 15 million dollars. too.â It was today that Julian was away so she wanted to gamble with her own money.
âWith Mrs. Parksâs net worth, you are only betting 15 million dollars. How unconfident are you in traditional medicine practitioner?â Gwen happened to walk by. She saw that Julian was not accompanying Annalise today, so her tone was more or less arrogant.
If Julian was here, she wouldnât dare. When people saw Gwen was trying to provoke Annalise, their eyes lit up with curiosity. There would be something juicy to watch. Would there be a fight between doctors of traditional and modern medicine?
Annalise raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, âIâm afraid that if I bet too much, youâll lose all your money. That would seem too cruel.â She had nothing to say to Gwen, who had never been friendly to her. Ever since she was young, she had worked hard so that she would not be bullied. When she met someone who bullied her, she would slap them in the face!
âMrs. Parks, you think too much. Just place your bets. Modern medicine is not to be trifled with!â Gwen said to Henry Dalton. âAdd 45 million dollars for me on modern medicine!â
âThatâs why I say we are from different worlds. We donât mind being rifled with. Iâll add 150 million!â
Annalise said. As soon as Annalise said this, people burst into an uproar and started talking. â150 million! How rich!â âThatâs the perk of marrying into a rich family. You have endless money to spend.â
âBut if she spends it like this, she is going to lose everything, right?â
âJulian isnât here today. I wonder if he would stop her.â Gwen was pissed to see Annalise bet 150 million dollars. Originally, she thought that Annalise would at most ask Julian for 15 million dollars. That was why she deliberately provoked Annalise and wanted to embarrass her. She didnât expect that Annalise actually dared to bet 150 million. How infuriating!
She was about to ask jokingly if her husband had given her permission to bet such a large sum of money. Jane rushed over and scolded Annalise, âAnnalise, whatâs wrong with you? How can you spend money like this? Are you embarrassed to spend money that is not yours? Who allowed you to bet 150 million?â
âI did!â Julian looked at Jane coldly. Was he being too nice to her recently? How dare she talk to Annalise like that? âJulian! Julian, she bet 150 million dollars!â Jane stomped her feet in anger when she saw how much Julian favored Annalise.
âWe can afford to bet 1.5 billion dollars!â Julian said. A girl in the crowd commented, âOh my, heâs so handsome. Heâs so dominant and protective of his wife. Haha, what a slap in the face. It feels so good!â
âAhhh, I really want to become Annalise!â âAnnalise isnât someone to mess with as well.â
âYes, yes. The more I look at her, the more I like her. Have you followed them on social media? I like it so much. Let me tell you, I wait for their updates every day. Itâs like watching a television show.â âAh, me too. Letâs add each other on Whatsapp and be their fans together!â âI really hate those self-
righteous assholes. Theyâre like bedbugs.â
âThatâs right. They love each other so much. Why say such bad things about them? Why would they think that he is out of her league? Why? I completely disagree.â âExactly. There are always some people in this world who are useless themselves but talk trash about others. They take themselves too seriously.â When Jane heard the discussion, she was so embarrassed. She wanted to regain her dignity. âJulian, this woman will ruin your family sooner or later.â
âThis woman?â Julianâs voice rose in displeasure as he released the cold aura around him. âIt seems like the Hiller family has spoiled you too much. You donât even have basic manners.â
After saying that, Julian called Cassandra on his phone in front of everyone. âMadam, please sign Jane up for an etiquette class. Otherwise, she wonât even know how to address her sister-in-law.â
âJulian, how can you?â Jane was so angry that she cried. She stomped her feet and ran away. Jessy rolled her eyes. She was very afraid now. Whenever she saw Annalise, she would avoid her. Indeed, this was the only way to ensure her safety. Gwen saw Julian coming and immediately went away.
She would never provoke Julian. Annalise looked at what was going on and could not help but laugh.
Originally, she had planned to use her own money to place a bet. Now that she saw Julian protecting her, she felt that spending Julianâs money was not a bad idea.
âAre you done with the project?â She smiled at Julian. âYes, Iâm done.â Julian gently reached out and hugged Annaliseâs waist. If it wasnât an urgent project, he wouldnât have gone away. In the following days, traditional and modern medicine doctors treated the other patients.
Modern medicine doctors treated rheumatism with joint replacements. As for traditional medicine practitioners, they stuck to traditional treatments, such as acupuncture, massage, medicinal bath, and others. It was the sixth day of the conference. This was the most important day.
The medical expert, Joseph Quigley was coming. Everyone was already waiting in the venue. Samuel, Cassandra, Albert, and Christopher were all there. These people did not show up before and were only watching the live broadcast at home. Today, they were all present.
Alan Jones was the only one from the Jones family that attended the conference. Today, Alanâs father and aunt were also here. The Xander family and the Blake family had also arrived. Everyone was waiting for Joseph Quigley. Abigail Barton, who had disappeared for many days, also showed up.
However, she was dressed extremely low-key. She was wearing an unassuming sweater and a mask.
Those who were not particularly familiar with her would not know who she was. Tony Parks and his wife were present. They wanted to talk to Joseph Quigley personally. Alexander was too embarrassed to show up. Samuel and his companions found a place to sit down. Abigail came over to pour tea for them.
