Jenny is puzzled by her husband’s sudden urge to take their son out of the hospital.


    Despite their son’s dire condition, James views chemotherapy as the final option for him.


    As she realizes her husband is preparing to leave with their child before the chemotherapy session is finished, she quickly intervenes, eximing, “Are you out of your mind? We must wait until his treatment isplete!”


    James Smith dismissively waved his hand, insisting, “I can’t wait any longer; I’m going.”


    Without waiting for Jenny to call for help, he stepped forward, pulled out their son’s infusion needle, and picked up his sleeping child as he headed for the exit.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Jenny, both shocked and furious, chased after him, shouting, “James! Put Jimmy down! He hasn’t even finished half of his chemotherapy! You’re going to jeopardize his life!”


    James Smith remained silent, quickening his pace as he rushed out of the hospital, almost as if he were fleeing.


    Jenny hurried after him, and upon seeing him stop to get a car, she stomped her feet in frustration, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded, “James, what are you doing? You can’t take such a risk with our son’s life!”


    At that moment, a taxi pulled up in front of James. He was about to hop in with their son when he noticed Jenny’s tearful expression. Hesitating, he turned to her and whispered, “A friend just called me. They told me I might have secured a spot for Jimmy in a clinical trial for Jiuxuan Zaizao Pills. I’m still not sure if it’s legitimate or if it will actually work, but I was advised to keep this quiet, which is why I didn’t mention it at the hospital.”


    Jenny’s eyes widened in surprise, and she eximed, “Really?! Is that true, James? Jimmy could really be part of a clinical trial?!”


    James leaned closer and replied, “Sweetheart, we don’t know anything for certain yet, so try to stay calm. You should focus on picking up our daughter from school. If this opportunity pans out, I’ll let you know right away, and we can celebrate. If not, I’ll ensure Jimmy is back for chemotherapy as soon as possible. Just take care of your daughter and don’t worry.”


    Jenny nodded eagerly, saying, “Okay! Just take Jimmy there first, and I’ll wait for your update!”


    James pressed a firm kiss to her forehead before getting into the taxi and instructing the driver, “To Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical, please!”

    The security measures at Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical are as strict as those at a military facility.


    Due to previous attempts to steal the form for Jiuxuan Rezao Pills, the Aurous Hill police have designated the area around Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical as a controlled zone. This area acts as a buffer, where police patrol continuously, and no vehicles are allowed to stop temporarily. If a vehicle does halt, the police will approach and ask the driver to leave. The closest point for outsiders is the main entrance of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical, where all visitors must present their credentials for registration. Moreover, internal staff muste out to escort them inside. Since the gate is secured by both security personnel and police, outsiders cannot enter without an appointment.


    When James Smith stepped out of the taxi at the entrance, he was greeted by Arlo Hu and Hallie, who had just arrived.


    Seeing James, Arlo Hu smiled broadly and said, “Mr. Smith, it’s great to see you again!”


    “Good to see you too!” James replied with a smile, then asked, “How was your hike?”


    “It was wonderful,” Arlo said cheerfully. “It’s nice to explore while you still can!”
