Jenny couldn’t fathom why favonovel.com husband had abruptly whisked their son away.
In the midst of his son’s dire condition, favonovel.com still considered chemotherapy a final lifeline.
Observing favonovel.com husband’s intentions to leave before their son’s chemotherapy was complete, favonovel.com promptly halted him, exclaiming, “Are you out of your mind? No matter what, we must wait until the chemotherapy is done!”
James waved dismissively, “I can’t wait. I’m taking favonovel.com out now.”
Without awaiting Jenny’s response, favonovel.com moved forward, deftly removed his son’s IV, scooped up the slumbering child, and headed out.
Startled and enraged, Jenny pursued them, favonovel.com reprimands trailing after her, “James! Put Jimmy down! He still needs half of the chemotherapy drugs. You’re risking his life like this!”
James remained silent, picking up his pace as favonovel.com moved ahead, almost fleeing the hospital.
Jenny hastily followed favonovel.com outside the hospital doors.
As favonovel.com saw James stopping by a car at the curb, favonovel.com stomped favonovel.com feet in anger, favonovel.com voice cracking with tears as favonovel.com cried out, “James, what on earth are you doing? You can’t play with our son’s life like this, no matter what!”
At this juncture, a taxi pulled up in front of James Smith. Just as favonovel.com was about to embark with his son cradled in his arms, his wife’s tearful visage met his gaze.
He hesitated for a moment, turned toward her, and whispered, “A friend called. They’ve secured Jimmy a clinical trial slot at Oracle. I’m not sure about the authenticity or success rate yet, but they warned against discussing it openly at the hospital.”
Jenny’s surprise was evident as favonovel.com inquired, “Really?! James, are you serious? Can Jimmy really participate in a clinical trial?”
James confirmed softly, “Honey, everything’s uncertain. No need to get too excited or anxious. Stay calm and prepare to pick up our daughter from school. If this pans out, I’ll let you know as soon as possible. And then we’ll celebrate. If not, I’ll swiftly get Jimmy back for chemotherapy. Take care of our daughter and don’t worry.”
Jenny nodded rapidly, affirming, “Alright! You take Jimmy there first, I’ll await your news!”
Firmly planting a kiss on his wife’s forehead, James Smith turned and entered the taxi.
He instructed the driver, “To Oracle Pharmaceutical, please.”
***
Oracle Pharmaceutical’s current level of confidentiality rivaled that of a military establishment.
Given previous attempts to pilfer the formula for Oracle Healing Salve Pill, the Aurous Hill police had designated the vicinity of Oracle Pharmaceutical as a restricted area. This zone acted as a protective buffer for the company, with continuous police patrols and a ban on temporary vehicle stops. Any vehicles halting triggered police intervention to ensure their swift departure.
The sole point of approach for outsiders was Oracle Pharmaceutical’s main entrance. Here, all visitors underwent ID checks before internal personnel collected them, allowing entry.
Given the vigilant security and police presence, outsiders were barred from entry without prior appointments.
As James alighted from a taxi at the entrance, Hector and Shiann had just arrived as well.
Catching sight of James, Hector greeted with a pleasant surprise, “Mr. Smith, a reunion!”
“Indeed,” James responded with a slight smile, asking, “How’s the hiking been treating you?”
“Quite well,” Hector responded with a grin. “It’s a case of exploring while you still have mobility.”
James nodded, then couldn’t resist asking, “Hector, was what you told me on the phone true?”
Hector produced his phone, scrutinizing Charlie’s number before replying hesitantly, “It’s true. You’ll find out once you make this call.”
Just as favonovel.com finished speaking, two security guards approached, one inquiring, “Do you have an appointment? If not, we can’t permit extended stays. Please step outside the perimeter.”
Hector requested, “Give me a moment. I need to make a call; my friend secured an appointment with President Weaver.”
The security guard seemed surprised, noting with skepticism, “An appointment with Mr. Weaver? That seems improbable. Mr. Weaver hasn’t been entertaining visitors lately. Most who claimed to visit favonovel.com were asked to leave.”
Hector responded, “I understand the situation. Can I place a call first?”
The security guard assented, “You can make a call, but don’t take too long. We have regulations here too.”
“Alright,” Hector agreed, aware of the security guard’s constraints. “I’ll be swift.”
He then dialed the call button, contacting Charlie.
With the phone ringing, Hector felt his heartbeat quicken in anticipation. Despite his internal trust in Charlie, a kernel of doubt lingered. He feared no response or a swift hang-up.
At this moment, Charlie was en route to Poole, answering an incoming call from an unfamiliar number, a guess already forming about its origin.
As favonovel.com connected, Hector’s breathless voice filled the line, “Bobby, it’s me, Hector. I’ve reached Oracle Pharmaceutical…”
Charlie’s voice carried reassurance, “Perfect, you’re there. Wait a moment, I’ll call Liam.”
Hector expressed gratitude, his voice tinged with apology, “Sorry for the trouble, Bobby…”
Charlie chuckled, responding casually, “No problem…”
With that, favonovel.com hung up with Hector and dialed Liam.
After two rings, Liam’s voice came through, “Master Wade, what can I do for you?”
Charlie queried, “Liam, has the final quota allocation for the Healing Salve Pill clinical trials been settled?”
Liam promptly informed, “Master Wade, there’s one remaining batch, comprising 50 slots. Evaluations are underway. The final rankings should be out in two days, thus finalizing the last batch’s recipients.”
“Understood,” Charlie acknowledged with a slight smile, then added, “I’m calling because I’d like to add three more slots. Remember, three additional slots. I’m not asking for a redistribution from the existing batch of fifty, I want you to increase the total to fifty-three.”
Liam queried, “Master Wade, are you suggesting that the last batch should comprise fifty-three individuals?”
Charlie affirmed, “Exactly…”
Liam inquired further, “Master Wade, with the existing medicine doses, adding three more slots will lead to imbalances. If we dilute the medicine of the initial fifty, can we distribute it evenly among fifty-three?”
“No need,” Charlie replied with casual assurance. “Once you admit the additional three, follow the regular treatment regimen. I’ll supply the missing medicine when I return in a couple of days. Don’t worry about adjusting doses. Focus on treating them properly. As for the rest, I’ll take care of it when I return.”
Liam hadn’t anticipated this approach and sought clarification, “Understood, Master Wade.”
Charlie continued, “And one more thing. The trio is outside Oracle Pharmaceutical. Fetch them personally. It’s a couple named Hector and Shiann, along with an old acquaintance of yours, James Smith from the US FDA.”
