Looking at Edmund’s back as he left, Doris was so mad that she was shivering as her tears flowed down her face. 　Two years ago, Doris’s father had had a severe kidney infection. It had been hard to find a suitable kidney because his blood type was RH negative. 　　 　　At that time, Doris had done a match test, but she was not suitable. 　　 　　Soon after, due to a stroke of good luck, one of her relatives had found a suitable match in Southeast Asia, and the other party had also been willing to donate. 　　 　　Subsequently, Doris had spent a million Oskian dollars to help her dad solve his kidney problem.　Initially, she had thought that after finding the kidney, her dad would live for another twenty or thirty years with proper care. However, she never would have thought that just after two years, her dad’s replacement kidney would have a serious rejection response, and the kidney functions started to drop tremendously.Before the Oskian New Year, he had been fine. However, afte

Doris reached into her pocket, retrieved a pack of ladies’ cigarettes, took one out, and put it in her mouth. Then, she reached for the lighter again, but she had a hard time lighting the cigarette as her hands were trembling. After several attempts, she managed to light the lighter, and the cigarette was finally lit.Her face was extremely pale under the reflection of the fire.When the cigarette was ignited, Doris gently bit the cigarette with her pinkish lips and took in a deep breath. Right then, it was so quiet that she could hear the unique sound of the burnt tobacco.Doris rarely smoked, and she did not like to smoke either, but due to her diligence at work, she was often overly tired as well as upset. Therefore, she would occasionally smoke a cigarette to bring her some relief.As the smoke puffed out from her delicate nose, feeling the stimulation produced by the nicotine in her brain, Doris couldn’t help shedding two lines of hot tears down her cheeks.Her mother’s words

The next day, Charlie went out and bought a few rosewood jewelry boxes to put the pills he was going to give to the crowd tonight in.After all, it was a life-saving magical elixir for them, so he had to package the pills a little decently.On his way home after buying the jewelry boxes, he received a phone call from Isaac.As soon as the call was answered, Isaac’s excited voice resonated, “Mr. Charlie! The case of illegal fund-raising by the owner of the old residence reached a verdict this morning!”“Oh?” Charlie hurriedly asked, “How was it?”Isaac quickly said, “Well, the man was sentenced to a life sentence, and his entire assets were confiscated to pay the defendant’s debts, so now, all the assets under his name will enter the judicial auction process, including the old residence you’ve been concerned about.”“Wonderful!” Charlie immediately instructed, “Isaac, help me put my name in. I want to participate in the auction!”Isaac answered, “Don’t worry, Mr. Charlie. I’ve al

Helen was not enraged as she listened to Sheldon’s accusation. Instead, she responded flatly, “Sheldon, if you have any self-awareness, you should know that you are the one standing in the moral standpoint now. If you still want to seize the moral high ground by force at this moment, you truly disappoint me.”With that, Helen continued, “Love is not something you say, but it’s what you do and how you act. You accuse me of being cold-blooded for proposing divorce to you, but what about you? You have a twenty-something-year-old illegitimate daughter that you’ve been hiding from me for so many years. Have you ever thought about our marriage?”Sheldon suddenly became depressed when he heard these remarks and thought, ‘She’s right. I have no right to accuse her of being cold-blooded. After all, I’m the one who committed the mistake for more than two decades…’Just when he didn’t know what to say, Helen sighed and continued, “Anyway, I called you to ask you to get through the divorce as s

As Doris listened to Dr. Spears illustrate the case, she carefully recalled her father’s activities and said, “Dr. Spears, I have never seen my father take any unknown drugs after his illness worsened nor did I see him take any traditional medicine, let alone Dutchman’s pipe.”Then, she added, “Overall, he was in excellent health after his last kidney transplant with a relatively mild form of diabetes, so he had been taking metformin extended-release tablets, but that drug does not do harm to the kidneys and will not cause acute kidney failure.”Dr. Spears nodded and said, “I understand. Dutchman’s pipe is just an example, but there are a lot of traditional medicinal ingredients out there that can trigger acute kidney failure, not just Dutchman’s pipe. There are many chemicals and organic compounds that have great nephrotoxicity.”Doris asked, “Dr. Spears, is there any way to find out exactly what caused my father’s acute kidney failure?”Dr. Spears said, “I’ve sent your father’s b
