Don Albert nodded, watching Hank’s excitement, then led him to the gold box before turning to leave.
As soon as he was settled, Hank quickly called Matt Finkelstein to inform him that he had arrived at Heaven Springs.
Matt Finkelstein informed Steve, and the two of them drove over together.
By the time they arrived, charlie Wade had yet to show up. Matt Finkelstein pushed open the door to the gold box but didn’t step inside. Instead, he moved aside to make room for Steve behind him.
Steve walked in with a smile. The moment he saw Hank, he grinned and asked, “So, Hank, is it true? Do you really have pancreatic cancer?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Hank immediately recognized the mockery behind Steve’s smile. With a sorrowful expression, he replied, “Mr. Rothschild, please don’t joke about this. I really do have pancreatic cancer. The doctor said it’s a very serious disease, and the five-year survival rate is only 10%.”
Steve chuckled. “Ten percent? That’s not bad. For someone like you, ten percent is quite generous.”
Hank’s face flushed with embarrassment. Forcing an awkward smile, he said, “Mr. Rothschild, you’re teasing me. I may be useless, but I’d still like to live a few more years…”
Steve’s expression turned serious. “Then why didn’t you stay in the United States for treatment? Whye back so soon?”
Hank quickly replied, “Mr. Wade is the only one who can save me now. I had to return and ask for his help.”
Steve let out a mocking snort. “I remember you weren’t convinced when you left. Did you go back, get diagnosed, and finally realize just how unfathomable Mr. Wade is?”<fn1729> For original chapters go to find~novel</fn1729>
Hank sighed and admitted, “To be honest, Mr. Rothschild, I reflected a lot on my way back. I realized how little I understand about this world—and how Icked the proper respect for the incredible mysteries of this great Eastern country. This time, I’ve made up my mind. If Mr. Wade can cure me, I’ll follow his lead, just like Matt. I’ll settle in China permanently and dedicate myself to serving Mr. Wade wholeheartedly!”
Just then, the door swung open, and charlie Wade walked in with a smirk. Teasingly, he said, “Hank, if you stay in our country for too long, you’ll end up in prison for life for everything you’ve done.”
The moment Hank saw charlie Wade, he shot up from his chair, hurried around therge dining table, and dropped to his knees with a loud thud.
“Mr. Wade!” he pleaded desperately. “Please! I beg you to save my life!”
charlie Wade asked, “So? Was your pancreatic cancer officially diagnosed when you returned to the United States?”
“Confirmed…” Hank replied quickly. “I had my CA199 levels checked, and the results skyrocketed to over 600. A in scan revealed a lesion in my pancreas. The prognosis isn’t good…”
With that, he broke down in tears and pleaded, “Mr. Wade, you’re the only one in the world who can save me! I beg you—please don’t hold my past ignorance against me. Have mercy and spare my life!”
charlie Wade sighed. “Saving your life isn’t impossible. I told you that day—you’ll be the ss representative for your group in the future. And as ss representative, I will certainly grant you some benefits.”
Hearing this, Hank immediately kowtowed to charlie Wade in excitement, repeatedly murmuring, “Thank you, Mr. Wade! Thank you, Mr. Wade!”
charlie Wade waved his hand dismissively. “Don’t celebrate just yet. I can save you, but there’s a condition.”
Hank asked eagerly, “Just tell me—what do I need to do?”
charlie Wade said calmly, “The money you were supposed to cash out earlier must be settled immediately. Once the funds are in ce, I’ll take care of your pancreatic issue.”
Hank blurted out, “It’ll be ready soon—by today, tonight at thetest!”
charlie Wade nodded and continued, “Your life will be saved, no problem. But when ites to restoring your health and… your abilities in that area, you can only choose one.”
