Chapter 97
Someone questioned, “Is the Rhodes family so desperate for Mr. Thatcher’s favor, just like the Wellers?”
“It’s absurd to let a random doctor experiment when even Dr. Aicker is uncertain.”
Harvey’s grin deepened as the complaints grew. If the Weller family could not benefit from this situation, he would make sure the Rhodes family would not either.
“Everyone, quiet down,” Cedric interrupted. “Who said no one can treat Mr. Thatcher? I’ll call my mentor right away.”
The room fell silent in surprise. Cedric was already Jayrodale’s top medical expert, and they were all stunned to hear he had a mentor. Besides, Cedric was already quite old, and his mentor must be even older,
At that age, could the miracle doctor still treat others?
“Dr. Aicker, who is this mentor of yours?” Harvey asked skeptically.
Cedric snorted, “That’s none of your concern, but I guarantee if my mentor can’t cure Mr. Thatcher, no one can.”
As Cedric reached for his plipne, he suddenly stopped and frowned. “Oh dear, I just remembered he hasn’t actually agreed to be my mentor yet. I’m not even sure if he’ll come, and I don’t even have his number!‘
The room erupted in disbelief.
Someone had actually turned down Cedric as an apprentice?
Who could be that prestigious?
Cedric quickly called Francesca. “Fran, send me Dr. Lloyd’s number right away. Yes, hurry- Mr. Thatcher’s fate depends on him!”
After receiving the number, Cedric went to a quieter corner and called Andrew. “Dr. Lloyd… Yes, yes… Mr. Thatcher is critically ill, and I can’t help him. We desperately need your expertise
Oh, sure! Yes, I’ll send a car for you right away
While the rest could not hear his conversation, they could tell from his demeanor that he spoke with unusual respect.
After hanging up, Cedric immediately sent Mark’s driver to pick up Andrew. The observers were stunned by Cedric’s demeanor–who could command such respect from the notoriously eccentric doctor?
One by one, people began to scheme.
“Dr. Aicker, don’t forget to introduce your mentor to us when he arrives.”

“Dr. Aicker, how about this? I’ll treat your mentor to a luxury dinner after he saves Mr. Thatcher. We’ll go all out to show our gratitude.”
“Dr. Aicker, I’m just curious… But how old is your mentor? Is he married? My family has some wealth, and I have three daughters who would be honored to meet him.”
Harvey hesitated before approaching with a smile. “Dr. Aicker, our families go way Please introduce me to your mentor. I’d like to get to know him.”
back.
Lauren watched their fawning with disgust. She did not join the commotion but wondered if this mysterious doctor could be her Andrew. The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
