The First Heir

Chapter 90

Philip walked in and placed the lunch box on the table. Then, he picked up an apple and began peeling it while listening to Juan and Wynn’s conversation in silence.

Juan and Wynn pretended that they did not see Philip, treating him like he was thin air.

“Are you sure, Brother Juan? It’s Professor… Professor Henry Turner?” Wynn appeared to be unusually excited, her eyes sparkling like stars and her gaze burning.

She knew about Henry Turner. He was regarded as the top cardiologist internationally with the title of being a medical titan.

Back when Mila first got diagnosed, Wynn had looked up all relevant information.

It could be said that Professor Henry Turner was the sage of the medical profession.

If they really could get him to treat Mila, then her illness would be 100% curable.

However, the catch was that they would have to manage to hire him.

Not anyone could meet with a medical titan.

Wynn knew profoundly how much energy and how many connections must have been used to get Professor Henry Turner to take a look at Mila’s condition.

Wynn would not be able to return this favor.

The corners of Juan’s lips curled into a smile as he said generously, “Don’t worry Wynn, I’ve always thought of Mila as my daughter. Her business is my business. It just so happens that Professor Henry is in Riverdale for an inspection. You should know something about it, it’s at the Riverdale branch of Turner hospital. Your company should have been in contact with them before.

“Besides, my father has a personal relationship with Professor Turner. So don’t worry, I’ll help you make sure that everything about Mila’s surgery is seen to.”

Juan’s face was full of smiles, his expression sincere.

In front of Wynn, as long as it was something she liked, Juan would do his best to get it done.

However, he had only one goal, which was to get Wynn for himself.

Philip, who was witnessing the entire thing, felt very unhappy.

What did he mean by thinking of Mila as his daughter?

What right did he have to say that?

Naturally, Wynn was slightly embarrassed, but her feelings of gratitude overpowered her feelings of embarrassment as she said thankfully, “Brother Juan, thank you so much.”

While saying that, she shifted her gaze slightly sideways to look at Philip who was peeling apples at the side. She felt somewhat helpless and disappointed. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She could not believe that he, a father, was paying less attention to his daughter’s condition than an outsider.

Just at that moment.

Philip’s phone rang. After taking a glance at the caller ID, he turned to walk out of the room.

“Mr. Clarke, I’ll be reaching the hospital shortly. Where are you?” The sound of Henry Turner’s respectful tone came through the phone. He sounded exceptionally excited.

Philip knitted his brows together as he said, “I’m at ward 1302, but don’t come here. Wait for me at the rest area.”

For the sake of preventing unnecessary trouble, Philip decided to meet him in private.

“Okay, okay. I’ll be there in five minutes,” Henry said as he waited for Philip to hang up the phone first.

When he returned to the ward, Juan asked snarkily, “Philip, who were you talking to? If you’re too busy, you can go back first. After all, punctuality is very important when delivering food. I’ll take care of Wynn here.”

Juan was not treating himself as an outsider at all.

On the other hand, Philip had no standing at all in front of Juan.

Watching the scene unfold, Wynn’s lips fluttered as she wanted to open her mouth, but she held back.

What use was there in speaking up for him? He was still the same person.

However, something surprising happened.

Philip smiled as he said, “I got a doctor for Mila, so I was asking him some questions earlier. He’ll be coming over shortly to take a look.”

As soon as this was said, Wynn’s heart, which had been unflustered all this while, suddenly began fluttering. She raised her eyebrows as her sparkling eyes stared at Philip.

However…

Juan instantly sneered as he said to Philip, “You, getting a doctor for Mila? What kind of doctor can you get? Do you know what Mila’s condition is? Is it something that any doctor can treat?”

The glimmer in Wynn’s eyes faded after hearing Juan’s sharp reply.

That was true. What kind of doctor could Philip get to treat Mila’s illness?

Could they be any better than Professor Henry Turner?

Still, it was not a bad thing that he was concerned about Mila’s condition.

At the very least, there was still a soft spot for Philip in Wynn’s heart.

Philip pursed his lips as he said indifferently, “Why can’t I? Mila is my daughter. Is there anything wrong with me getting her a doctor?”

He was very upset with Juan’s attitude.

The man was acting as if Mila was his blood daughter.

“Alright, I’d like to see how awesome the doctor you found is.” Juan stepped forward and patted Philip on the shoulder. There was a provocative look in his eyes. “It just so happens that I have an appointment with Professor Turner as well. Why don’t we meet him together? Get the doctor that you found to join us as well, and we’ll get them both to come up with a treatment plan. We’ll choose the best plan to move forward with.”

All this talk about choosing the best was just another reason for Juan to humiliate Philip.

In his knowledge, Professor Henry Turner, whom his father had contacted through his connections, was a medical titan.

Was there anyone else in the world more powerful than him?
