Suddenly, Dawn's attending physician knocked on the ward door and said, “May I know which one of you is the
patient's family member? Please come with me. I'll explain her current conditions.”
Instantly, Dawn suggested, “Doctor, please explain it here so I can listen to it too.”
Deep down, Dawn worried they wouldn't tell her the truth about her illness.
Nonetheless, Lacey said, “It's okay. We will go with the doctor. You should get some rest.”
With that, Lacey and Nancy left the ward without giving Dawn the chance to refute.
After taking them to his office, the attending physician explained, “The results have come out. Her condition doesn't
look good.”
The ladies' expression turned grim when they heard it.
Lacey got nervous and asked, “Doctor, what kind of illness does she have?”
The attending physician answered, “It's a rare disease called Horzdo-hidrosis. I'm not sure if you have heard of it.”
Lacey and Nancy shook their heads in unison and said, “No.”
The attending physician continued, “It's all right. It is indeed a rare disease. So far, there are less than ten cases

Meanwhile, Lacey and Nancy frowned deeply.
What? There are less than ten cases of Horzdo-hidrosis across the world!
The severity of Dawn's illness was beyond Lacey and Nancy's expectations.
After coming to her senses, Lacey asked, “Doctor, how likely can her illness be treated?”
The attending physician heaved a sigh and responded, “I believe you've brought her to other hospitals for checkups
before coming here, right?”
Lacey nodded. “Yes.”
With that, the attending physician asked, “Did the doctors from other hospitals find out the patient has Horzdo-
hidrosis?”
Lacey and Nancy shook their heads. “No, they couldn't identify Dawnie's illness.”
Upon hearing the answer, the attending physician added, “Well, if she receives treatment in other hospitals, the
chances of getting cured are next to zero. Nonetheless, in my hospital—”
At that instant, he held his tongue.
Lacey and Nancy fixated their gazes upon the physician. “Doctor, please go on. How likely can her illness be
treated?”
After taking a deep breath, the attending physician said, “The likelihood of the patient getting cured depends on
your sincerity.”
Lacey and Nancy were perplexed by the reply.
Moments later, Nancy said, “Doctor, Dawnie and I are like sisters. Hence, I sincerely hope that she can be cured.”
The attending physician interrupted, “You didn't get what I mean... Let me rephrase it. There are not more than ten
doctors in the world capable of curing such patients. I happen to be one of them. Moreover, I'm the only doctor
with such expertise in Eurasia.”
It's great news!
Lacey and Nancy were overjoyed. “Doctor, I beg you to save Dawnie.”
The attending physician said apathetically, “Well, as I've said, it depends on your sincerity. Treating this kind of
disease is extremely expensive.”
Without hesitation, Lacey said, “Doctor, please name your price. I can arrange to transfer the fee to you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe next moment, the attending physician lifted his hand.
Lacey asked for clarification. “Is it five hundred thousand?”
The attending physician shook his head.
Lacey immediately proposed a higher offer. “Is it five million?”
Much to Lacey's surprise, the attending physician shook his head again.
“Fifty million?”
The attending physician said, “It's only a conservative estimate. The exact medical fee might be higher.”
Nancy couldn't help but grumble, “Doctor, it sounds a little outrageous to me. I've never heard that medical fees
can be that exorbitant. I mean, even the wealthiest man on Earth doesn't have to spend that much for longevity.”
They knew that the attending physician intended to take advantage of them.
As expected, the attending physician seemed pissed off. “Well, there is nothing I can do if you don't trust me. Good
luck! By the way, you don't have to think about transferring the patient to other hospitals. Instead, just bring her
home and spend the rest of the days with her. After all, no doctors can cure her illness even if you transfer her to
other hospitals.”
