When Charlie noticed Anthony saluting and bowing in front of him, he waved his hand and said, “Mr. Simmons, there’s no need for all this formality. You can just call me Charlie.”


    “How could I ever do that?” Anthony quickly bowed again and replied, “Mr. Wade, you are my master. It wouldn’t be right for me to address you by your first name.”


    Seeing Anthony’s stubbornness, Charlie decided not to press the issue any further. Instead, he asked, “I heard that Jason Grant and Keh Wilson visited you yesterday?”


    Anthony looked surprised. “Mr. Wade, how did you learn about that?”


    X yfully stuck out her tongue and said, “Grandpa, I was the one who informed Mr. Wade about this…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Immediately, Anthony began to scold X. “Youngdy! Mr. Wade has his own busy life; why would you bother him with something so trivial?”


    X felt quite hurt by this. Her intention in calling Charlie wasn’t to seek credit for her grandfather; she simply wanted a chance to converse with Charlie.


    In fact, she had always viewed Charlie as her idol, perhaps even more so than her own grandfather. Thus, she was eager to find any reason to speak with him, even if it was just a quick phone call.


    However, she knew she couldn’t reach out to Charlie without a valid topic of discussion, which is why she brought up the events from the previous day.


    To her surprise, instead of being praised, she ended up being scolded!


    Anthony’s reprimand stemmed from his fear that Charlie might misinterpret the situation. He worried that Charlie would think he had asked X to call him just to gain more recognition for himself. He wanted to avoid any misunderstandings that might suggest he was someone who sought to take credit for everything.


    Noticing the downcast look on X’s face, Charlie smiled and said, “Mr. Simmons, this is a minor issue. Please don’t scold X over it.”


    Anthony quickly responded, “Mr. Wade, I apologize for embarrassing myself in your presence.”<fnbf78> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? find?novel</fnbf78>


    Charlie waved his hand dismissively and said, “Mr. Simmons, your refusal to treat Jason and Keh after they offended me shows your loyalty and respect. I truly appreciate what you’ve done.”


    Anthony replied earnestly, “Mr. Wade, you’ve done so much for me, and your kindness when you saved my life is something I can never repay. I’m just doing what I can to alleviate your worries.”


    He then pointed at the sign for Serene World Clinic and added, “I chose to stay in Aurous Hill and open this medical clinic to assist you and follow your directions whenever you need my help. This is my way of repaying your kindness!”


    Charlie smiled and said, “You are truly a loyal man.”


    Then, Charlie took a magical pill from his pocket and handed it to Anthony. “Mr. Simmons, this is the same magical pill I gave you before. Though I haven’t demonstrated it, ancient records state that a dying person can prolong their life by five to ten years after taking this pill. I want you to keep this with you; it may be useful in the future.”


    Anthony stared at the pill, trembling as he fell to his knees. “Mr. Wade, you can’t do this! You’ve already given me one of these pills before, and I haven’t been able to repay your kindness. How could I ept such a generous gift?”


    X, seeing her grandfather kneel, also knelt beside him, resting her slender hands on her knees and gazing at Charlie with bright, watery eyes.


    Charlie had given this magical pill to a few others, and while everyone recognized its immense value, no one understood its significance better than Anthony.


    Having dedicated his life to medicine, Anthony knew the true power of this magical pill and understood that he wouldn’t find another like it in the world.


    Additionally, as he aged, he became increasingly aware of his own mortality. Despite being a renowned genius in the medical field, the reality of passing away peacefully in his sleep was a possibility he couldn’t ignore.


    This magical pill had the potential to extend the life of someone nearing death! It meant that Anthony could gain several more years because of this incredible gift from Charlie!


    While Anthony longed for the magical pill, he felt unworthy to ask for it!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
