Chapter 318 Severely Ill

Nicole couldn’t help but laugh when she saw how flustered Julia looked. “Pfft!” Nicole burst out in laughter. “I’ve

already waited for half an hour, so a few minutes doesn’t make much of a difference.”

Julia rested her chin on her hand and quickly got down to the main issue. “You’re looking for me because of Old Mr.

Benedict, right?”

Nicole nodded in agreement to her deductions. Julia had initially assumed that it was related to Olivia, and she

thought that Nicole wanted to apologize to her, so she quickly waved her hand. “Olivia’s temper has always been

bad. I’ve already ranted to Richard, so it’s fine. I’m your friend, so I’d never betray you!”

Nicole beamed as she looked at the big-hearted woman before her eyes. “You sure are a generous person.”

“I’d do anything for a friend, wouldn’t I?” Julia grinned as she spoke.

Nicole let out a small burst of laughter. “Well, I have to say—you did pick a good guy. Richard stood up for you at

dinner earlier, so you know that he’s a guy you can trust.”

Julia was pleased to hear Nicole praising Richard, and she nodded proudly. “Of course. Richard has always been a

friendly man, but he becomes especially manly when he’s protecting me!”

The moment Nicole saw the wide grin on Julia’s face, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to stop the woman once

she started talking about her man. “Alright, alright. You can praise Richard another day, okay? Let’s talk business

first. How’s Old Mr. Benedict’s condition now?”

Julia wiped the smile off her face when she heard Nicole’s words. Then, with a serious expression, she looked at

Nicole. “What is it? Why do you care about him so much? Are you planning to take action?”

Nicole shook her head while giving Julia a bitter smile. “I can’t bring myself to do it, so I can’t be much help.

Nevertheless, Master White had a lot of good friends around when he was still alive.

I want to understand Old Mr. Benedict’s condition so I can ask those friends about it. It’d be great if one of them

had the confidence in treating the old man.”

Julia pressed her lips together without coercing Nicole into doing anything. She could already tell that Nicole had

approached her about this issue, so she pulled out a bunch of well-organized documents before placing them on

the table.

“Take a look at this. This is Old Mr. Benedict’s medical records. I’ve gathered everything available in the past few

years.”

Nicole lowered her gaze to look at the files. “I can’t believe you have such comprehensive records,” she replied.

Julia inclined her head in slight mischief. “This is the reason you wanted to meet me at this hour at night, right? I

knew it.” Julia continued speaking when she saw how focused Nicole was. “Take a look at the piece of paper on top.

This CT scan shows the location of Old Mr. Benedict’s tumor.”

Nicole’s face sank when she saw the documents in her hands. The old man’s condition had been fine a few weeks

ago, but his condition had deteriorated drastically recently. Nicole pressed her lips together. The success rate of this

surgery is probably 50% if Master White is the one who does it.

Julia was a doctor, but she wasn’t a surgeon. She knew that Benedict’s condition was severe, but she felt even

more worried when she saw Nicole frowning. “Do you think it’s going to be hard?”

Nicole nodded in consternation. “Yeah. If we did this a few weeks ago, his chances of survival would have been

higher, but I’m afraid it’s pretty tough now.”

Julia couldn’t help but feel like things were looking bad for him when she saw the look on Nicole’s face. Nicole

remained silent for a moment before she spoke again. “I understand the gist of it now. I’ll contact a few of my

master’s old friends tomorrow, and we’ll talk about it then.”

Julia gulped when she saw how apprehensive Nicole was. “Are you sure you don’t want to do the surgery yourself,

Nicole?” she blurted out in a whisper.
