"Yes, I understand, I'm sorry for disturbing you, teacher," Johnson replied with solemn respect upon hearing the words.
Ge Dongxu's words seemed almost merciless, but Johnson knew that with Ge Dongxu's medical skills, he had to learn to refuse; he couldn't possibly treat everyone who came knocking.
Just like himself, as a top world expert on tumors, he knew not how many people from around the world wanted him to operate each year, but the ones who actually made it onto his operating table were always just a small portion, with the majority being turned away.
Because he simply didn't have that much energy!
Of course, Johnson could never turn away the wealthy or political figures.
This is the reality of the world; no one can ignore the influence that money and power have, Johnson included.
Just like now, when King Gustadin fell ill and made a request for treatment, probably the whole world's doctors except for Ge Dongxu could ignore his status and refuse without hesitation.
