Chapter 382 What if It’s Harlan?
Jamie glanced down and took a deep breath.
Advanced-stage stomach cancer. This disease is not temporary as Edward enjoys playing basketball and doesn’t smoke, so he hasn’t been exposed to toxic gases for a long time. That leaves only the period when I was unconscious.
When Jamie woke up, he had investigated and learned about the difficult times his younger brother went through, often going without food.
Edward must have consumed a lot of spoiled food and also experienced excessive fatigue.
Even after Jamie woke up and dealt with the owner of that club, the suffering still fell on his younger
brother.
Advanced-stage.
He knew the significance of these two words.
The doctor felt uncomfortable when he saw Jamie didn’t speak and just lowered his gaze.
He had never seen a man who exuded such an unsettling aura just by standing there and emitting a chilling presence.
“Doctor, what is the survival rate for advanced-stage stomach cancer?”
The doctor pursed his lips and hesitated. “I can only tell you that the chances of curing advanced-stage stomach cancer are minimal, or rather, there is almost no possibility of complete cure, because advanced- stage cancer cells often spread and metastasize, even breaking through the serous membrane to spread to the omentum…”
He explained that it could spread to adjacent organs such as the colon, liver, lungs, pancreas, and bones.
He finally presented only two options: chemotherapy or radiation therapy and targeted therapy drugs.
Jamie didn’t fully understand, but he knew the end result would be the same, with little hope of a cure.
He remained silent for a while and then looked up at the doctor. “What if there’s a more skilled doctor?”
The doctor felt awkward but still said, “Actually, if it’s mid-stage stomach cancer, there is a forty percent chance of cure for patients, but this patient is already in the advanced stage, so the chances of cure are basically zero, and a more skilled doctor may not have much effect.”
Caltun was a first-tier city, and this hospital was the best in Caltun, renowned throughout the country.
In other words, he was already one of the top gastrointestinal experts in the country.
However, it was as if he would be held responsible if he couldn’t cure Jamie when looking at Jamie’s gaze.
The doctor’s Adam’s apple moved a few times.
“Of course, if you can reach out to a world-class renowned doctor, you can also consult with them. After all, I can’t rule out the possibility that I am ignorant.”
Jamie asked, “What if it’s Harlan?”

“Professor Harlan?!” The doctor’s spirits were lifted as Harlan was indeed the pinnacle of the medical profession in the eyes of all doctors.
“Even Professor Harlan may not be able to handle this, but I can only say that if miracles really exist in the world, they are most likely to happen in the hands of Professor Harlan.”
Jamie nodded. “I understand.”
With that, he turned and walked toward the ward.
The doctor looked at his back with some sympathy. Even if it were Professor Harlan or all the world’s renowned doctors and medical research organizations, they could just do nothing.
Jamie returned to the ward and looked at his brother on the hospital bed.
“Edward, it’s because of me that you’re suffering, he whispered. “Don’t worry, I will definitely cure you!”
I will seize and snatch them even if there are no miracles!
That was how he always did things.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
It was the weekend for Freya’s regular live broadcast, as she already had over a hundred million fans on the short video platform.
The same went for her Twitter account.
Now, everyone knew about her numerous alternate identities. Recently, the medicine she developed had won international awards, one after another, and had brought glory to the country.
There were many interviews in international magazines, and although they were all with the other three medical professors involved in the research, none of them took credit as they said it was all her achievement.
In embalming, she had also received official thanks from Iternia.
Recently, it was revealed that she was also a perfumer named Clove.
This person who live-streamed to teach about health and makeup donated all her earnings attracted many
curious viewers.
Freya had become a legendary figure.
There were even rumors online speculating that she was a reptilian entity, and surprisingly, many people believed it.
After she finished her lunch, she planned to nap before starting the live broadcast when she received a call from Jamie.
“Mr. Fraser, is there something you need?” she asked with a smile.
His voice, on the other end, carried a gentle tone. “Miss Kaufmann, I just heard from Edward that today is your live broadcast day. I’m sorry, today is the anniversary of my parents’ passing, and brought him to the cemetery in the suburbs. I might not be able to make it back in time-”

Today is the anniversary of the passing of the parents of the Fraser family?
She quickly replied, “It’s okay. I can handle the equipment by myself, so Edward doesn’t need to come over, as paying respects is the most important thing. Please light the candles and help pay my respects to Mr. and Mrs. Fisher.”
Jamie politely responded, “Alright, thank you very much, Miss Kaufmann.”
After hanging up the phone, she took out the live broadcasting equipment.
Edward would have already set everything up every time she went live, so she only needed to do a simple
setup.
After starting the live broadcast, the chat room quickly filled up with viewers.
Today, the barrage was scrolling rapidly without him.
She smiled and answered the questions. Thus, she felt somewhat helpless. “You guys are getting the news
too fast.”
She answered a few questions occasionally and then started teaching makeup. Someone in the chat asked her to teach fragrance blending.
The opinions on both sides quickly clashed in the live stream.
Someone made a joke in the messages. Why not teach morticians how to do makeup? I’ll play dead for a while.
Her face turned serious. “Don’t joke about things like that.”
By the end of the live stream, the revenue had already exceeded ten million.
The platform granted her special privileges, and the money was immediately transferred directly to the charity foundation studio..
She tidied up the cosmetics, and her phone rang beside her.
It was a video call from Radley.
She smiled after she answered, “Did you time your call on purpose?”
“I was just watching your livestream.” In the video, he sat beside a floor lamp, and the yellow light behind him made his hair look golden.
She rested her cheek on her hand and asked, “Has Jolly fallen asleep?”
“He’s sleeping. Do you want to see him?” he offered. “If you do, I can have someone bring him here.”
“Just forget it. He’ll definitely wake up if you bring him over.” She clicked her tongue while thinking about. how Radley thought Jolly was. His owen son?
The two chatted for a while, and then she returned to her room to freshen up and lay on the bed.
Lately, she had been in the spotlight, which concerned her slightly.
The more this situation arose, the less likely those people would dare to move against her, and she didn’t

have much time left.
The Monaghan family.
Radley glanced at the dimmed screen of his phone and set it aside.
He picked up the thick stack of documents on the table and examined them individually.
He appeared grave, as if he was reviewing some essential documents, but each piece of paper contained proposals sent by major wedding companies worldwide.
After he asked Connor to release the news, many companies even prepared extensive proposal books to demonstrate their sincerity.
These conglomerates were aware of his budget, and if they secured this deal, they could live a life of luxury for the rest of their days.
He scrutinized them intently.
There was another document on another nearby table-a simple sheet of paper.
It displayed the golden thread in Compendium of Medical Wisdom that he had sketched with a golden
pen
He had already instructed Connor to investigate this shape, and they believed they would have an answer
soon.
