Chapter 42: The Proposal That Touched Her Heart
Isaac’s intention was clear.
Although she didn’t actively mention the supply of medicinal herbs, it was evident that he understood her purpose and even intended to discuss it with her.
However, Olivia hesitated, feeling unworthy of such a generous offer.
After all, the Whitaker family had stated that they would sell the medicinal herbs at half price only if Old Whitaker was cured.
She remained silent for a while, while Isaac stood there, smiling at her.
Upon seeing her reaction, Olivia smiled too and said, “To be honest, the reason I came here to treat Old Whitaker was because a friend told me that the Whitaker family would offer medicinal herbs at half price to the doctor who successfully cured him. But Old Whitaker has just awakened, and his condition is still uncertain. I believe it’s not yet the time to discuss compensation with the Whitaker family, at least until Old Whitaker’s health improves.”
Isaac’s smile grew even wider upon hearing her words, and he spoke sincerely, “Dr. Prescott, for us, the fact that my grandfather has awakened is already a tremendous surprise. As for the subsequent treatment, I trust you completely. Therefore, now you have every reason to discuss compensation with me.”
Olivia was taken aback by his unwavering trust. She hesitated for a moment before turning and sitting on the couch.
Isaac explained, “You were recommended by Dr. Sutcliffe. When he came to treat Old Whitaker, he mentioned the situation at the research institute, but later he admitted his inability to help, and the matter was put on hold.”
Isaac explained to her, “Now that he has recommended you, it must be related to the research institute. Am I correct?”
Olivia nodded slightly and calmly introduced him to the current situation at the institute.
“We have several projects at the research institute, but due to a lack of medicinal herbs, our research progress has stalled. We are looking for potential collaborators among medicinal herb suppliers, but we have been rejected by almost all of the Seacrest suppliers. In desperation, Gabriel thought of the situation with the Whitaker family and suggested that I give it a try.”
After finishing her explanation, Olivia looked at Isaac with seriousness and said, “Of course, even without the Whitaker family’s compensation, I will do my best to treat Old Whitaker. The compensation is just an opportunity.”
Seeing her earnest expression, Isaac’s respect for her grew, and he sincerely said, “I apologize once again for my previous doubts. You are a great doctor.”
Olivia accepted his words calmly, gazing steadily at him, waiting for him to bring up the matter of medicinal herbs.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Without wasting any time, Isaac went straight to the point after comprehending the situation.
“After your treatment, my grandfather finally woke up, so I entrust him to your care from now on. As for the compensation promised by the Whitaker family, I can take charge and supply your research institute with a batch of medicinal herbs for free. Consider it our token of gratitude. Additionally, the Whitaker family will sign a long-term contract with your institute, guaranteeing that all future supplies of medicinal herbs will be sold at half price.”
Upon hearing this, Olivia gradually understood.
Isaac had witnessed Old Whitaker awakening under her treatment and now had complete confidence in her ability to cure him.
The offer of a free supply of medicinal herbs could be seen as a gesture of gratitude, or perhaps as a way for Isaac to reassure her.
With this batch of medicine, she could address the urgent needs of the research institute and focus wholeheartedly on treating Old Whitaker during this time.
Isaac’s proposal deeply moved her.
“Very well, rest assured that I will do everything in my power to treat Old Whitaker.”
