Chapter 1461: Chapter 1461: Must Be Done

"Elder Roscente, my suggestion is that you really shouldn’t have the surgery." Frederick Cole said in a low voice.

Elder Roscente snorted. "You want me lying sick in bed, not allowed to be happy or angry—how is that any different from being a dead man?"

Despite his age, Elder Roscente’s temper was still as fiery as ever.

"Elder Roscente, if you insist on having surgery, I suggest you change to another hospital." Frederick Cole said. "This hospital is not very good."

"What? The doctors here are no good?" Elder Roscente frowned and asked. "Felix Chapman is very famous when it comes to heart surgery."

"Besides, I’ve already asked people to contact leading specialists to join the consultation. They’ll be going into the operating room together when the time comes." Elder Roscente clearly attached great importance to his surgery.

He chose this place after careful consideration.

"I’m not questioning their surgical skills; I’m questioning the drugs they’re using." Frederick Cole said with a frown.

"The drugs?" Elder Roscente’s brows knitted, then he said, "I’ll have someone bring the list over."

"Are there imported drugs among the ones Felix Chapman and his team are using?" Frederick Cole asked.

"There are a few. These drugs are more effective, and they don’t play any special role during the surgery itself." Elder Roscente wasn’t an expert in this area and couldn’t explain it clearly, but he understood the general idea.

"Those drugs might be problematic." Frederick Cole’s words made Elder Roscente’s expression change. "These all passed national inspection and entered the country legally. How could there be a problem?"

"You’re suspecting someone tampered with the inspection process?" Thinking of what might be behind these drugs, Elder Roscente’s face grew even darker.

His expression wasn’t ugly only because these drugs would be used on him; he was even more worried that once these drugs entered the market, they would bring harm to ordinary people.

If someone had been derelict in their duty during inspection, then this was a very serious matter!

"It probably isn’t that. Rather... there’s something in them that can’t be detected by the tests." Frederick Cole’s words made Elder Roscente’s gaze grow sharper and sharper. He asked, "Have you found out something?"

"Sophie had people overseas test these drugs." Frederick Cole didn’t hide it from Elder Roscente.

"Sophie?" Elder Roscente frowned slightly, then remembered and couldn’t help a faint smile. "That little girl."

"What made her fix her eyes on this batch of drugs?" Elder Roscente asked in puzzlement.

Frederick Cole briefly outlined the feud between the Chapman Family and Charles Seymour. After listening, Elder Roscente burst out laughing. "That’s exactly the sort of thing that little rascal would do—she’s sticking up for Charles Seymour."

"Elder Roscente, I suggest you postpone your surgery for now." Frederick Cole said. "If nothing’s wrong, all the better. But if something is..."

"All right." Elder Roscente nodded, accepting Frederick Cole’s advice.

After Frederick Cole left, once Felix Chapman got the news, he almost fell out of his chair. "What did you say?"

"Elder Roscente said he wants to postpone the surgery." The doctor who came to relay the message was also very helpless. The operating room was already prepped, all the plans had been drawn up, and the schedules of the top cardiology experts had all been cleared. They were just waiting for the surgery tomorrow.

And now Elder Roscente suddenly said he wasn’t doing it.

Was this a joke?

"I’ll go talk to Elder Roscente." Felix Chapman stood up, his face dark.

This operation absolutely could not be postponed. The hospital was counting on Elder Roscente’s surgery to make a complete comeback. This surgery had to be done!
