Matthew first glanced at Julian before handing a mini Rejuvenating Pill to the little girl. “Your father is lying to you! You still have many more birthdays to celebrate in the future with huge cakes and plenty of beautiful clothes! Now, take this candy and eat it. Uncle Larson will buy you anything you want on your birthdays!”
Nicole’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Seriously? Uncle Larson, c-could you please get a pair of shoes for my Daddy instead? Everyone thinks Daddy is dirty because his toes are exposed…”
At that moment, Julian broke into tears like a child.
Matthew’s heart went out for the little girl while he caressed her hair gently.
The pitiful little girl was born with a tragic fate but still, she cared more about her father than herself.
In her short-lasting life, she was forced to bid farewell to the world before she even had the chance to witness the beauty of it.
“Don’t worry. With Uncle Larson around, no one will bully you and your father anymore. Come on and eat this candy first!”
Nicole followed his instruction obediently by taking the mini Rejuvenating Pill and she soon fell fast asleep.
Julian did not stop him because he knew Matthew would not harm the little girl.
“What’s that candy?” Julian asked curiously.
“It’s not a candy, it’s a pill!”
“A pill?” Julian asked, looking astonished, “What pill is that?”
“The pill can cure her illness. I’m a doctor at a hospital and I’ve successfully cured a lot of similar cases there. I’ll give you a prescription later on and Nicole will completely recover after finishing the prescribed dosage in one week!”
Julian looked baffled when he asked, “Matthew, did I hear you wrongly? My daughter is suffering from a congenital heart disease and according to the doctor, this type of disease can’t be cured unless she gets a heart transplant.”
Matthew chuckled and said, “Just because the other doctors can’t cure her, it doesn’t mean I can’t. I’ll send you the required chinese herbs later and you can brew it yourself.”
Julian scratched his head and said, “I think you can just give me the prescription because I can get the chinese herbs myself. After all, I used to own a chinese herbs business several years ago and I guess I know their prices better than you.”
Matthew chuckled, thinking that no one could possibly know chinese herbs better than himself.
However, it did take him by surprise to know that Julian used to own a chinese herbs business back then.
He couldn’t help but think of Wellness Herbary.
Sasha was still in a quandary to decide who she should entrust Wellness Herbary to.
As Cunningham Pharmaceutical was mainly involved in the research and development of drugs, no one in the company was suitable to manage the Chinese herbs company.
Perhaps it might be a good idea to let Julian have a try.
“Bud, what’re you doing for a living now?” Matthew asked.
“I’m doing some miscellaneous work at the construction site, mainly because it’s near to my place and it’s easier for me to come home and take care of my kid.”
Matthew nodded before asking, “Would you be interested in managing a chinese herbs business? Why don’t you come and help me?”
Julian was stunned for a second before he asked, “Are you involved in a chinese herbs business now?”
“Yup, I just opened a company for the business.”
“Hmm…” Julian found his offer attractive.
However, he hesitated when he thought of Nicole.
Matthew, who could see what was bothering him, said with a smile, “There’s no rush. We can discuss this after Nicole recovers from her illness.”
Julian let out a sigh and felt sorrowful. He couldn’t even be sure how long his daughter would live, let alone believe that she would recover.
