Chapter 42: An Attractive Proposal

Felix's intention was quite clear. Although Chloe didn't actively mention the matter of herbal supplies, it was evident that he understood her purpose, and he even seemed willing to discuss it with her. Chloe hesitated, feeling undeserving of unearned favors. After all, when the Quilliam family made the offer, they stated that they would sell herbs at half price only if they cured Jasper. She remained silent for a while, and Felix just stood there, smiling at her. Seeing this, Chloe also smiled, "I won't hide it from you. I came here to treat Mr. Jasper Quilliam because I heard from a friend that the Quilliam family would sell herbs at half price to the doctor who cured him. However, since he has just awakened, the specific situation is still unclear. I don't think it's the right time to discuss reward with the Quilliam family, at least until his condition improves." Upon hearing this, Felix's smile became even warmer, and he became more sincere, "Dr. Stanhope, my grandfather waking up is already a tremendous surprise for us. As for the subsequent treatment, I have complete trust in you. So now, you have every reason to discuss reward with me." Chloe hadn't expected him to trust her so much. She stood there in a daze for a moment before turning to sit on the sofa. "You were introduced by Dr. Rawlins. When Dr. Rawlins came to treat my grandfather, he mentioned the situation at the research institute to me. However, he later said he was unable to treat him, and this matter had to be put on hold," Felix explained. "Now that he has recommended you, it must be related to the research institute, am I right?" Chloe nodded slightly and calmly introduced the current situation of the research institute to him. "We currently have several projects at the research institute, but due to a lack of herbal supplies, our research progress has stalled. We are looking for potential collaborations with herbal suppliers, but we have faced rejection from almost all herbal suppliers in Phoenix. In desperation, Michael thought about the situation with the Quilliam family and believed I could give it a try." After finishing, Chloe looked at Felix with seriousness and explained, "Of course, even without any reward from the Quilliam family, I would still do my best to treat Mr. Jasper Quilliam in his current condition. The cooperation is just an opportunity." Seeing her earnest expression, Felix felt even more respect for her and sincerely said, "I apologize once again for my previous doubts. You are a great doctor." Chloe accepted it calmly, gazing at him steadily, waiting for him to bring up the matter of herbal supplies. Felix didn't beat around the bush. After understanding the situation, he got straight to the point. "Thanks to your treatment, my grandfather has finally regained consciousness. Therefore, I entrust him to you in the future. As for the reward promised by the Quilliam family before, I can take charge of that. We will provide your institute with a batch of supplies for free as a token of our gratitude. Additionally, the Quilliam family will sign a long-term contract with your institute, and all future supplies will be provided at half price." Upon hearing this, Chloe slowly understood that Felix, having witnessed Jasper waking up under her treatment, now fully believed in her ability to cure him. The proposal to provide a batch of supplies for free could be seen as a token of gratitude or, in other words, a reassurance from Felix. With this batch of medicines, they could address the urgent needs of the research institute. During this period, she could also focus on treating Jasper without distractions. It must be said that Felix's proposal deeply resonated with her. "All right, rest assured. I will do my best to treat Mr. Jasper Quilliam," she assured Felix.
