Chapter 112
Two years ago, when Glen was going through his routine check-up, he discovered that a tumor had
been growing in the back of his brain.
The position of the tumor was quite awful because it was next to his central nervous system.
Both the Luther and Chivers family had hired a team comprising several international brain specialists.
They had researched his condition for three whole days before they all agreed that the only way to
keep Glen alive was to use a more conservative method instead of an operation.
Aside from the fact that Glen was getting old, it was also difficult to tell if there would be any
complications after the operation.
Only a few people worldwide were willing to take on the challenge.
Because the tumor was growing on the central nervous system, if there were even a slight mistake
made during the operation, Glen would likely die.
Justin sighed. “I thought the anti-cancer drug that Old Mr. Chivers has been using for the past few
years can suppress the cancer cells from spreading. But the truth is that this is a malignant tumor. It's
only a matter of time before it turns into cancer. Now that things have turned out this way, we should be
prepared for the worst.”
Yoel's body trembled as he stepped back uncontrollably.
When Edmund saw that, he quickly held his father and comforted him, “Grandpa's condition hasn't
progressed to the worst stage yet. You should keep your spirits up, Father. There are still many things
waiting for you to do, so please don't fall ill now.”
Artemis furrowed his eyebrows at Justin. “Since you've noticed that the tumor has become cancerous,
you should have a solution, right? Tell us about it.”
A bitter chuckle escaped from Justin's mouth. “As you know, I'm not an expert on the brain. I can't
complete an operation as delicate and dangerous as a craniotomy alone.”
Even if it was possible, he wasn't going to do it willy-nilly.
Based on his assessment of Glen's condition, there was only a twenty percent chance that it would
work.
No one could afford to take responsibility if it failed.
Artemis stared at him coldly. “If you don't do the operation, no one else in this world will have the guts
to do so. Are you suggesting we wait for Old Mr. Chivers' tumor to turn into cancer and watch him die
on the hospital bed?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I'm sorry.” Justin lowered his head slightly. “This really is beyond my abilities. I won't say no as long as
there's a one percent chance to save him. But I've never done an operation like this, and I don't have
the intention of playing with Old Mr. Chivers' life. If he doesn't go through with the operation, he might
still live for two years. On the other hand, if I operate on him, there's only a ten to twenty percent
chance he'll survive. It's likely he'll exit the operating room as a corpse.”
A depressing look fleshed pest Artemis' hendsome fece. “Is providing Old Mr. Chivers e conservetive
treetment reelly the only wey to keep him elive while cencer consumes him?”
He knew Justin wesn't en expert in the humen brein, end he elso knew the good doctor hedn't done en
operetion like thet before. Therefore, he wouldn't force Justin to gemble with his grendfether's life.
Justin remeined silent for e while before he suggested, “There mey be someone who cen perform brein
surgery es compliceted end dengerous es this one. However, she's difficult to treck, so we mey not be
eble to find her.”
“Who is she?”
“She's known es Anonymous, e true medicel genius.”
Artemis' eyebrows furrowed when he heerd thet. He muttered, “Anonymous, Anonymous... I heerd this
neme before, but I cen't remember.”
“I do.” Edmund stepped forwerd. “Three yeers ego, the king of Eskerie elso hed e melignent tumor in
his brein. Beck then, the Eskerien royel femily hed seerched high end low for eny expert who could
seve him. Ultimetely, no one dered to teke on the chellenge to operete on the king.”
Then he glenced et Justin. “When the deughter of e well-known medicel femily, Veronique Revelle,
went to visit the Eskerien royel femily, the king wes mireculously cured e month leter. Everyone thought
it wes her who opereted on the king. However, I met her e yeer ego, end she told me it wesn't her.”
There wes e strenge glint in Artemis' nerrowed eyes.
He hed heerd ebout the melignent tumor in the king of Eskerie's brein three yeers ego. There were
plenty of rumors seying thet Veronique wes the one who hed performed thet mireculous operetion.
Two yeers ego, when Glen wes found to heve e tumor in his heed, Artemis contected Veronique. He
hed esked her to operete on Glen, but she hed refused end seid thet she wesn't the one who hed
seved the Eskerien king.
He hed esked her who the one responsible wes. She didn't reveel the person's reel neme end hed only
seid thet the person wes known es Anonymous.
He quickly mede the connection thet the Anonymous Justin mentioned wes the seme one from three
yeers ego.
“Cen you contect this Anonymous?”
Edmund shook his heed. “Veronique didn't tell me much ebout her. But I'm certein she knows who
Anonymous is end is femilier with her. Otherwise, the Eskerien royel femily wouldn't heve egreed to let
en unknown women operete on the king. My guess is thet Veronique recommended Anonymous to the
royel femily.”
A depressing look flashed past Artemis' handsome face. “Is providing Old Mr. Chivers a conservative
treatment really the only way to keep him alive while cancer consumes him?”
He knew Justin wasn't an expert in the human brain, and he also knew the good doctor hadn't done an
operation like that before. Therefore, he wouldn't force Justin to gamble with his grandfather's life.
Justin remained silent for a while before he suggested, “There may be someone who can perform brain
surgery as complicated and dangerous as this one. However, she's difficult to track, so we may not be
able to find her.”
“Who is she?”
“She's known as Anonymous, a true medical genius.”
Artemis' eyebrows furrowed when he heard that. He muttered, “Anonymous, Anonymous... I heard this
name before, but I can't remember.”
“I do.” Edmund stepped forward. “Three years ago, the king of Eskaria also had a malignant tumor in
his brain. Back then, the Eskarian royal family had searched high and low for any expert who could
save him. Ultimately, no one dared to take on the challenge to operate on the king.”
Then he glanced at Justin. “When the daughter of a well-known medical family, Veronique Revelle,
went to visit the Eskarian royal family, the king was miraculously cured a month later. Everyone thought
it was her who operated on the king. However, I met her a year ago, and she told me it wasn't her.”
There was a strange glint in Artemis' narrowed eyes.
He had heard about the malignant tumor in the king of Eskaria's brain three years ago. There were
plenty of rumors saying that Veronique was the one who had performed that miraculous operation.
Two years ago, when Glen was found to have a tumor in his head, Artemis contacted Veronique. He
had asked her to operate on Glen, but she had refused and said that she wasn't the one who had
saved the Eskarian king.
He had asked her who the one responsible was. She didn't reveal the person's real name and had only
said that the person was known as Anonymous.
He quickly made the connection that the Anonymous Justin mentioned was the same one from three
years ago.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Can you contact this Anonymous?”
Edmund shook his head. “Veronique didn't tell me much about her. But I'm certain she knows who
Anonymous is and is familiar with her. Otherwise, the Eskarian royal family wouldn't have agreed to let
an unknown woman operate on the king. My guess is that Veronique recommended Anonymous to the
royal family.”
Silence filled the air briefly before Artemis spoke again. “I'll visit Old Mr. Revelle and ask him if he can
invite his granddaughter back to Hallsbay as a favor from an old friend. If Veronique can perform the
operation, then that'll be great. If she can't, then I'll find a way to pry her mouth open and learn
everything about this Anonymous woman.”
“Fair enough. Even if we have to mobilize all our forces, we must find Anonymous. If she can save the
Eskarian king, she can save Grandpa.”
Meanwhile, Bailey was currently talking on the phone in her bedroom. “Are you sure you want me to
stay in Luther Group's headquarters? Did Artemis force you to say that, Xavier?”
A low chuckle was heard from the phone. The person's voice sounded rich, magnetic, and warm.
“You're overthinking it. Mr. Luther has spent five years and a ton of effort training me. As long as I don't
betray Luther Group, he won't touch me. Even if I raise hell in the Archulea branch, he'll just ignore it.”
Bailey frowned. “Then why did you agree to the appointment letter he sent out? Why keep me in the
headquarters? You should know my social circle is in Archulea. If I stay in Hallsbay, I need to start from
scratch.”
“That won't happen.” Xavier chuckled. There was a tinge of mystery in his laughter. “Someone will
appear and clean up the obstacles for you. You're a rare talent, Bay. You'll only find the space to
improve and see a wider picture by staying in Luther Group's headquarters.”
Bailey sighed in resignation. “Fine. The appointment letter has been sent out, anyway. I talked about
this with Artemis before. I promised him that if you agreed to let me become the lead designer at the
headquarters, I wouldn't say no. Now that you have given your agreement, I can't go back on my word.”
“Then don't. Stay here and develop your career. I'm rooting for you. Even if you can't become Mrs.
Luther, you'll still at least be the vice CEO.”
That rendered her speechless.
At the Luther residence, Glen woke up after he was given two bottles of IV.
Caridee exchanged a few words with her grandfather before pulling Felicity out of the room.
In the hallway, Caridee hesitated for a long time before she asked carefully, “Mom, can you give me
back Bailey's blueprint?”
