Chapter 1066 Halved
Jeremy changed the topic. "Here, let me do a check-up on you."
He took out his stethoscope and started examining Gareth.
Jeremy was a successful young man interested in medicine despite having a huge family fortune. He opened a
private hospital that was full of people every day.
Gareth remained still. Though Vincent was cracking jokes moments ago, he suddenly looked solemn and worried as
he watched Gareth.
Jeremy's nonchalant attitude slowly darkened the more he examined Gareth. In the end, he let go of Gareth, who
remained silent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVincent couldn't help it anymore and burst out loud, "You keep pulling a long face all the time. Can you look happier
for us just this once?"
However, Jeremy's expression became increasingly solemn. Frowning, he said, "The most I can do is delay it by a
year. If you don't take my advice and cooperate with the treatment, you will definitely have a relapse."
Vincent's face changed immediately. "A year? Only a year left?"
Jeremy ignored him and spoke to Gareth seriously. "Gareth, you have to take care of yourself – no one will do that
for you. I have told you the consequences of relapse more than once. You know very well what's in store for you."
Vincent gritted his teeth. "A relapse! If that happens, there are even less than three months left!"
Jeremy looked at him gravely. "This is just my deductions for the time being. If you continue overworking yourself,
perhaps you can't even last six months. Previously, I told you that you had two more years."
It was entirely Gareth's own doing that the time was halved.
Vincent flared up. "F*ck! Can't you take better care of your own health? Have you considered how we feel if you
die?"
Vincent was cavalier and flamboyant but loyal to his friends, especially Gareth.
He had thought of everything he could to help, but Jeremy just announced that there was not much time left.
Jeremy was an excellent doctor who was already at his peak. There were only a few better than him.
But even he was at wit's end, showing how bad Gareth's condition was.
Nevertheless, Gareth looked calmer than the other two, as though he had already predicted such an outcome.
After a pause, he said, "I have many things I would like to do. Think of some ways to make it two years."
"Two years?" Jeremy, who had been good-natured, lost control and snorted sarcastically. "Who do you think you

Gareth pressed his lips together in a thin line without speaking.
Vincent was also annoyed by his attitude. "From today onwards, you can't throw yourself at work entirely.
Previously, we didn't want you to lose all your motivation. Yet, now you are putting your life on the line!"
Jeremy said calmly, "It's not the worst. I don't have a solution, but others might have, especially that person."
"Who? Let's contact him immediately," Vincent burst out anxiously.
"Mystic Orchid."
The name propelled Vincent into silence instantly.
No one knew if Mystic Orchid was a man or a woman, but this person was the best doctor in the world. There was
once a critically ill patient whom no one could save. Still, Mystic Orchid successfully resuscitated them, pulling them
back from the grim reaper's hands.
However, Mystic Orchid seemed to have disappeared into thin air. No one knew if they were dead or alive.
