Chapter 478


    A servant soon opened the door.


    Jon said, "I''m here to see Dr.Zabe-"


    When the servant heard this, he said, "Please wait a minute.He is currently with a guest"


    A guest...


    Jon was a little surprised.


    Silvester rarely agreed to visitors, and this had been the case for many years.


    He rejected the visitation requests from most of the people who wanted to learn from him.


    After all, he was in poor health.


    It was also said that he had mild problems with his memory now.


    Apart from the few old-timers like him who at least had some status in the field of alternative medicine,


    there was almost no one else who could meet with Silvester.


    However, there was an alternative medicine conference taking ce that day, so the old-timers were all


    there at the moment.


    Who would visit Silvester at this time? While thinking about it, Jon asked, "Who is it?"


    The servant smiled and said nothing.


    Jon immediately knew that he had crossed the line.


    He smiled and said, "Please let him know that I''m here.I will wait here"


    "Okay: When the servant entered Silvester''s room, Silvester''s son just so happened to be seeing Nora


    out.


    "This way, Nora"


    Nora said, "You should also pay more attention to your health too, Mr.Zabe."


    Silvester''s son had also learned medical skills from Silvester.


    Therefore, even though there was a very big age gap between the two of them, Nora was actually his


    junior Silvester''s sonughed and said, "Sigh, that''s the way it is once you be old.


    I do want my old man to live a few more years, though! This way, I can take care of him for a few more


    years!"


    Nora heaved a silent sigh inwardly when she heard this.


    When she was a child, she always heard Silvester scolding his son and calling him mediocre, because


    he was unhappy that he couldn''t inherit his skills in alternative medicine.


    During those times, her senior would always just smile naively.


    But now...Silvester was already over ny years old, yet his son, who was in his sixties, was still by


    his side.


    Wasn'' t that also bliss in some way? Some people had a lot of children, all of whom were talented, yet


    some went overseas and some traveled far away from home.


    Few stayed by their side.


    Nora subconsciously thought of Pete and Cherry...


    Well, given how smart the two of them were, they definitely wouldn''t be clingy in the future.


    Once she got on in age, the two of them likely wouldn''t keep showing up in front of her.


    This way, she wouldn''t be annoyed seeing them all the time, either.


    The only person whom she would see all the time would probably just be Jus...No, wait! What was she


    thinking? They weren''t even married yet, so why was she saving a ce for him in her retirement n


    ? Nora shook her head and stepped out while sighing emotionally.


    The moment she did, she spotted Jon at the door! The moment the two of them made eye contact, Jon


    became dumbfounded.


    He looked at Nora in surprise, and then at Silvester''s son in confusion.


    An astounded look formed on his face, but he quickly suppressed it.


    Nora, however, ignored him and nodded at Silvester''s son.


    "I''m leaving.You don''t have to see me off any further."


    Since they had a guest, he definitely wouldn''t be able to see her off anymore.She wasn''t an outsider


    anyway.


    Silvester''s son smiled and said, "Alright, go ahead!"


    Nora walked straight past Jon and left.


    Even after the door was closed, Jon still hadn''t recovered.


    What was Nora doing at the Zabes''? Silvester''s son was already speaking politely to Jon.


    He asked, "Are you here to see my father?"


    Jon nodded.


    Unable to suppress his curiosity, he asked, "That''s Nora Smith, right? I heard that she is Anti, the


    surgeon"


    Silvester''s son nodded.


    "Seems like it.What''s the matter?"


    Jon followed behind Silvester''s son, and the two headed to the garden where Silvester was.


    Jon went along with the flow and asked, "What was she doing here?"


    Silvester''s son paused for a moment and thought of how Nora didn''t want anyone to reveal her identity


    —after all, once exposed, she would definitely be very busy.


    Thus, he answered, "Oh, she came to borrow a few books.She came to borrow a few books? Jon


    narrowed his eyes.The way he saw it, she probably came to exin herself to Silvester, right? Hah.It


    seemed that she had panicked.After all, publicly making a statement that alternative medicine was


    inferior to modern medicine was indeed behavior that would attract a lot of hatred.Although they had


    managed to keep outsiders in check with the Andersons'' Carefree Pills, should Silvester decide to do


    something, the Carefree Pills'' form would be everywhere! Once that happened, what else could the


    Andersons produce?! The Andersons were surprisingly smart about this, though , and knew that they


    should seek asylum from Silvester at once! It was just a shame that Silvester absolutely hated people


    that despised alternative medicine the most.


    In his youth, he had once been suspected of being a fraud and once had a showdown with a modern


    medicine practitioner.


    Moreover, as the chairman of the Alternative Medicine Association in the country, his existence itself


    was what gave the alternative medicinemunity confidence! At this point in Jon''s thoughts, he had


    already reached the garden.


    When he saw Silvester sitting there and basking in the sun, he stepped forward and said, "Mr.Zabe,


    how are you doing these days?"


    When Silvester saw out of the corner of his eye that it was Jon, he continued to hold the book but


    retracted his gaze.


    With his murky voice, he asked, "What are you doing here? Silvester had always disliked Jon.This was


    something that everyone in the industry knew.Unfortunately, Jon''s medical skills were the next best


    after Silvester in the next generation of alternative medicine practitioners.


    Thus, after Silvester stopped bothering himself with the alternative medicine field''s affairs, Jon had


    taken over as the leader of the alternative medicine field for a period of time.


    When Nora first arrived in New York, Jon''s position in the world of alternative medicine had been


    impregnable! Jon sat opposite Silvester and said, "Mr.Zabe, I am really at my wits'' end now.That''s why


    I''ming to you for help "


    Silvester nced at him, his aged eyes full of disdain.


    "What can I help you with? Mr.Myers tters me so!"


    Jon was so scared that he hastily got up.


    "I''m not worthy of such politeness from you!"


    Knowing that the man did not like him making polite small talk, Jon went straight to the point.


    "I''m here today because there''s a young modern medicine practitioner who is showing tant


    disregard for alternative medicine just because she can use her scalpels well.She has publicly dered


    that alternative medicine is inferior to modern medicine!"


    Bam! Silvester threw the book in his hand onto the table and sneered, "Are there still people with such


    misguided beliefs in New York?"


    Jon was delighted at his reaction.


    "Yes, that''s right!"


    Silvester sneered, "Aren''t the few of you going to teach that young woman a lesson?"


    Jon hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully, "I want to, but unfortunately, her family is big and


    powerful, so Lincoln and the others don''t dare to confront her at all.


    I said a few words at the conference just now, but was immediately rebutted and told not to hold it


    against a young woman! Is this about that, though, Mr.Zabe? It''s obviously a matter of one''s attitude!"


    Silvester snorted coldly.


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    "Which family is it? Are they that powerful?"


    Jon hurriedly said, "It''s all because the Harmonia Pharmacy''s Carefree Pills are simply selling too


    well.All everyone can see is money, so no one dares to stand up even for something like this anymore!


    No matter what, a young person who has said the wrong thing should be chastised a little!"


    The Andersons? Harmonia Pharmacy? Silvester was taken aback.


    "Who are you talking about?"


    Jon replied, "It''s the person who visited you just now”


    Nora Smith: "What?"


    As though he was stunned, and also as though he had not heard Jon clearly, Silvester''s voice rose


    instantly.


    Jon hurriedly exined cautiously, "She''s the daughter that the Smiths have just acknowledged.Her


    name is Nora Smith.I heard that she is also Justin Hunt''s fiancee...Oh, she also has another important


    identity, Anti the internationally-known surgeon.She is greatly admired as Anti.I reckon the young


    woman has gotten too full of herself after being praised a little, so she thinks she''s now invincible in the


    medical field."


    Jon nced at Silvester cautiously at this point.


    He was actually a little unsure about this.


    Given how Yvonne had been able to buy the Zabe Corporation''s Calming Pill from Silvester, this


    showed that Silvester was actually in contact with the Smiths.


    In particr, when Nora came to borrow the books just now, she had actually seeded in doing so...


    This showed that Silvester was also unwilling to offend the Smiths and the Hunts, right? With that in


    mind, he coughed and said, "Mr.Zabe, after giving it some thought...Given her status, it isn''t a good


    idea to offend her—especially when she has the Smiths and the Hunts backing her up—but


    considering the positions we hold in the circle, there are certain things that we must do! We cannot


    chicken out and disregard our beliefs just because of her status.So, I was wondering, how about you


    lead the way and we go over to teach her a lesson?"


    Silvester frowned and looked at him with aplicated look on his face.


    "Did you just say that Nora Smith said that alternative medicine is inferior to modern medicine?"


    Jon nodded hurriedly.


    "Yes, she said so in front of all the nurses in the hospital.ine Miller heard it.She''s the one who told


    us the story because she says that she couldn''t stand it anymore.All the other nurses have been bribed


    by the Hunts and the Smiths, so none of them dare to make any mention of this."


    That was what ine had said.


    As for whether or not they had really bribed the nurses, Jon didn''t care at all! He just wanted to ruin


    Nora! Unexpectedly, when he said that, Silvester suddenly scoffed and said, "That''s impossible"


    Jon was taken aback.


    "Why wouldn''t it be possible, Mr.Zabe? News of what she did has already spread.Despite the terrible


    impact the incident has caused, she still tantly came here to visit you.Surely she wasn''t here to give


    you a warning, was she?"


    He had deliberately chosen the word "warning''.


    Given Silvester''s status, doing something like that would be too much.


    However, Silvester was not sent into a rage at all.


    Instead, he looked straight at Jon and said, "Jon, I''m already over ny years old.These tricks of


    yours are too childish in my eyes"


    Jon: Silvester shook his head and said, "Originally, I was nning to rmend you to take over my


    position as chairman of the Alternative Medicine Association.After all, thatzy disciple of mine doesn''t


    like to bother with such things.Although I don''t like you, you are scheming enough and you also have


    the means.In addition, your attitude toward alternative medicine is still considered somewhat pure...But


    I didn''t expect that now that you''ve gotten on in age, you have instead lost the ability to see through


    things properly.Forget it, I''d better choose someone else for the position!"


    He pointed straight at the door and said, "Goodbye!"


    His firm and determined tone made Jon stunned and frozen in ce! He couldn''t even understand


    what was going on.


    "Dr.Zabe , what I said is true.How can you not believe me? She is full of hostility towards alternative


    medicine!"
