A servant soon opened the door.
Jon said, "I'm here to see Dr.Zabe-"
When the servant heard this, he said, "Please wait a minute.He is currently with a guest"
A guest...
Jon was a little surprised.
Silvester rarely agreed to visitors, and this had been the case for many years.
He rejected the visitation requests from most of the people who wanted to learn from him.
After all, he was in poor health.
It was also said that he had mild problems with his memory now.
Apart from the few old-timers like him who at least had some status in the field of alternative medicine, there was almost no one else who could meet with Silvester.
However, there was an alternative medicine conference taking place that day, so the old-timers were all there at the moment.
Who would visit Silvester at this time? While thinking about it, Jon asked, "Who is it?"
The servant smiled and said nothing.
Jon immediately knew that he had crossed the line.
He smiled and said, "Please let him know that I'm here.I will wait here"
"Okay: When the servant entered Silvester's room, Silvester's son just so happened to be seeing Nora out.
"This way, Nora"
Nora said, "You should also pay more attention to your health too, Mr.Zabe."
Silvester's son had also learned medical skills from Silvester.
Therefore, even though there was a very big age gap between the two of them, Nora was actually his junior Silvester's son laughed and said, "Sigh, that's the way it is once you become old.
I do want my old man to live a few more years, though! This way, I can take care of him for a few more years!"
Nora heaved a silent sigh inwardly when she heard this.
When she was a child, she always heard Silvester scolding his son and calling him mediocre, because he was unhappy that he couldn't inherit his skills in alternative medicine.
During those times, her senior would always just smile naively.
But now...Silvester was already over ninety years old, yet his son, who was in his sixties, was still by his side.
Wasn' t that also bliss in some way? Some people had a lot of children, all of whom were talented, yet some went overseas and some traveled far away from home.
Few stayed by their side.
Nora subconsciously thought of Pete and Cherry...
Well, given how smart the two of them were, they definitely wouldn't be clingy in the future.
Once she got on in age, the two of them likely wouldn't keep showing up in front of her.
This way, she wouldn't become annoyed seeing them all the time, either.
The only person whom she would see all the time would probably just be Jus...No, wait! What was she thinking? They weren't even married yet, so why was she saving a place for him in her retirement plan ? Nora shook her head and stepped out while sighing emotionally.
The moment she did, she spotted Jon at the door! The moment the two of them made eye contact, Jon became dumbfounded.
He looked at Nora in surprise, and then at Silvester's son in confusion.
An astounded look formed on his face, but he quickly suppressed it.
Nora, however, ignored him and nodded at Silvester's son.
"I'm leaving.You don't have to see me off any further."
Since they had a guest, he definitely wouldn't be able to see her off anymore.She wasn't an outsider anyway.
Silvester's son smiled and said, "Alright, go ahead!"
Nora walked straight past Jon and left.
Even after the door was closed, Jon still hadn't recovered.
What was Nora doing at the Zabes'? Silvester's son was already speaking politely to Jon.
He asked, "Are you here to see my father?"
Jon nodded.
Unable to suppress his curiosity, he asked, "That's Nora Smith, right? I heard that she is Anti, the surgeon"
Silvester's son nodded.
"Seems like it.What's the matter?"
Jon followed behind Silvester's son, and the two headed to the garden where Silvester was.
Jon went along with the flow and asked, "What was she doing here?"
Silvester's son paused for a moment and thought of how Nora didn't want anyone to reveal her identity—after all, once exposed, she would definitely become very busy.
Nora Smith: "What?"
As though he was stunned, and also as though he had not heard Jon clearly, Silvester's voice rose instantly.
Jon hurriedly explained cautiously, "She's the daughter that the Smiths have just acknowledged.Her name is Nora Smith.I heard that she is also Justin Hunt's fiancee...Oh, she also has another important identity, Anti the internationally-known surgeon.She is greatly admired as Anti.I reckon the young woman has gotten too full of herself after being praised a little, so she thinks she's now invincible in the medical field."
Jon glanced at Silvester cautiously at this point.
He was actually a little unsure about this.
Given how Yvonne had been able to buy the Zabe Corporation's Calming Pill from Silvester, this showed that Silvester was actually in contact with the Smiths.
In particular, when Nora came to borrow the books just now, she had actually succeeded in doing so...
This showed that Silvester was also unwilling to offend the Smiths and the Hunts, right? With that in mind, he coughed and said, "Mr.Zabe, after giving it some thought...Given her status, it isn't a good idea to offend her—especially when she has the Smiths and the Hunts backing her up—but considering the positions we hold in the circle, there are certain things that we must do! We cannot chicken out and disregard our beliefs just because of her status.So, I was wondering, how about you lead the way and we go over to teach her a lesson?"
Silvester frowned and looked at him with a complicated look on his face.
"Did you just say that Nora Smith said that alternative medicine is inferior to modern medicine?"
Jon nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, she said so in front of all the nurses in the hospital.Elaine Miller heard it.She's the one who told us the story because she says that she couldn't stand it anymore.All the other nurses have been bribed by the Hunts and the Smiths, so none of them dare to make any mention of this."
That was what Elaine had said.
As for whether or not they had really bribed the nurses, Jon didn't care at all! He just wanted to ruin Nora! Unexpectedly, when he said that, Silvester suddenly scoffed and said, "That's impossible"
Jon was taken aback.
"Why wouldn't it be possible, Mr.Zabe? News of what she did has already spread.Despite the terrible impact the incident has caused, she still blatantly came here to visit you.Surely she wasn't here to give you a warning, was she?"
He had deliberately chosen the word "warning'.
Given Silvester's status, doing something like that would be too much.
However, Silvester was not sent into a rage at all.
Instead, he looked straight at Jon and said, "Jon, I'm already over ninety years old.These tricks of yours are too childish in my eyes"
Jon: Silvester shook his head and said, "Originally, I was planning to recommend you to take over my position as chairman of the Alternative Medicine Association.After all, that lazy disciple of mine doesn't like to bother with such things.Although I don't like you, you are scheming enough and you also have the means.In addition, your attitude toward alternative medicine is still considered somewhat pure...But I didn't expect that now that you've gotten on in age, you have instead lost the ability to see through things properly.Forget it, I'd better choose someone else for the position!"
He pointed straight at the door and said, "Goodbye!"
His firm and determined tone made Jon stunned and frozen in place! He couldn't even understand what was going on.
"Dr.Zabe , what I said is true.How can you not believe me? She is full of hostility towards alternative medicine!"
