Chapter 534


    Johnny was on pins and needles the moment he heard Ms. Mirabe’s words, quickly trying to justify


    himself. “Ma. Mirabe, I was just thinking that Dane’s medicine might work faster than the traditional


    brew. That’s why I took it.”


    Mirabe chuckled and shrugged nonchntly. “That’s why I suggested you consult him in the first


    ce!


    The same ingredients and dosage can yield different results depending on the method of preparation. It


    was like the difference between herbal remedies and pharmaceuticals – the former emphasized a


    gradual approach, while thetter aimed for swift, potent effects. It seemed like this Dane chap might


    have been so keen to show off his cal prowess that he overlooked the basic principles of medication.


    Johnny was momentarily lost for words, stumped by Mirabe’s retort. When he had medication, he


    had been confident in Dane’s abilities as a mid–level pharmacist. He had repeatedly confirmed

    Johnny suggested a follow–up with Mirabe to ensure that Owen wouldn’t face further health issues. I


    would detect the difference just by taking Owen’s pulse.


    Owen, having already rolled down his sleeve, looked towards Mirabe. “I apologize.


    My secretary only wanted to speed up my recovery by trying a different method of medication. But does


    this change have a significant impact?”


    Owen could tell that though Mirabe’s words held an inquisitive tone, she didn’t outright say anything


    was amiss, which suggested that the medication probably hadn’t caused any serious issues.


    Mirabe didn’t reproach Owen. Her voice was light as air. “Not particrly significant. It just affects the


    speed of recovery.”


    At her words, Johnny stared at her, dumbfounded. If it was affecting the speed of recovery, wasn’t that


    significant?


    The fact that Owen had been ill was kept under wraps, and he hadn’t shown his face in public for quite


    a while. Any further dys would undoubtedly stir up a ho’s nest of trouble.


    Johnny was beginning to regret his decision. If he hadn’t given Owen Dane’s medicine, would the


    situation be better now?


    With a more serious demeanor, Johnny cautiously inquired, “If we resume the original prescription you


    provided, would that work?”


    Mirabe shot him a look. “Do you think treatment is something you can just switch on and off at will?”


    Johnny didn’t dare to respond, but his respect for Mirabe visibly grew. It was clear from the moment


    she raised the issue of medication and dosage after taking the pulse that she was a professional with


    genuine expertise.

    After a few seconds of hesitation, Johnny still asked in a low voice, “So what do we do now?” Mirabe


    tapped her fingers idly on her knee, seemingly indifferent and silent. An eerie quiet fell over the room


    until Owen spoke up to break it, “What’s your price?”


    Mirabe’s tapping stopped, and she tilted her head towards Johnny. “Pen and paper.”


    Johnny was taken aback. That was it?


    Snapping back to reality, he rummaged through his briefcase, pulled out a pen and notepad, and


    handed them to Mirabe.


    Mirabe jotted down a few herbalponents, handed the notepad back to Johnny, and added,


    “Don’t waste any more money on the wrong things.”


    Johnny nced down at the fee listed on the paper – seven figures.


    Mirabe rose from the sofa, her expression neutral as she addressed Owen, “I’m not interested in who


    you are. To me, we’re just doctor and patient, nothing more, nothing less.”
