Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 311 There Is Hope

“I just made an appointment with the best ophthalmologist in Beshya, and we’re going to go visit him later,” uttered Derrick after breakfast.

“How about we do that tomorrow, Derrick? You came all the way here to see Tiff; I’m sure you have a lot to talk about with her. Don’t worry about my eyes. It’s not like they’re going anywhere. They can wait. Now go take her out on a date!” commanded Amelia.

“But Amelia…” Nevertheless, Tiffany was still worried about her friend.

“I have business in Beshya, actually, so I’m going to be here for at least half a month. I have time to spend with Tiff, and you can bet I’ll do so. But if you don’t do something about your condition, she’s not going to just stop worrying about you, even if I take her out on a date. We’re both worried about you, and we just want the best for you,” explained Derrick patiently.

“Fine, then.”

After instructing Jeremy to take care of Tony, Derrick drove Amelia and Tiffany to the hospital.

The physician they visited, Boris Jackman, was a highly experienced ophthalmologist who had already retired for a year. He only agreed to see Amelia because he and Derrick’s grandfather were close.

From what Derrick had heard, Boris came from a long line of physicians. The physician’s ancestors had been in the medical field since the Civil War and were respected in their time. Because of that, no one doubted the medical skill of a Jackman.

However, besides his exceptional skills, Boris was also known for his odd temperament. For people he liked, he did not mind treating them free of charge. As for those he disliked, even if they were superstars or political figures, Boris would refuse to treat them no matter how much they were willing to pay. Naturally, that created a huge problem for the director of the hospital. Still, there was nothing the director could do about Boris because of his outstanding reputation.

“Hello, Dr. Jackman. I’m Derrick Hisson. I’m sure my grandfather has already mentioned me. Thank you for sparing us your precious time. It means the world to my friend here.” Derrick had always been a proud man, but when facing the retired physician, he was as polite as one could be.

After sizing the young man up, Boris guffawed. “My goodness! You look exactly like your grandfather when he was your age. He, too, looked so handsome that it was almost unbelievable. You’re lucky to have inherited his good looks. Hey, no ‘Dr. Jackman,’ okay? Just call me Boris.”

“Very well, Boris.”

The physician’s smile grew even wider when Derrick called him by the first name. “How’s your grandfather? Good?”
