Chapter 199
“Mr. Lambert , since you said you were busy , I thought I’d drop by . This must be Dr. Grant , right ? I’m Josef Bayer , ” Josef introduced himself as he entered
Iris and Leo locked eyes for a few seconds .
She greeted him confidently , “ Yes ,
at’s me . Mr. Bayer , you’re here for the ZS serum , aren’t you ? As it happeris , Mr. Lambert and I have been discussing
this matter these past few days . ”
“ Oh ? So , can this serum be given to my father first ? ” Josefa
to
Iris nodded with certainty . “ Of cour
plied .

“ That’s great , ” Josef said with a smile .
“ But you need to understand , once your father gets this serum , I might not be able to perform the surgery on him ,” Iris said .
She looked at Josef with genuine apology , a hint of regret in her eye
Leo looked completely at ease , as if everything was under his control , waiting for Josef to ask more .
To their surprise , Josef agreed without hesitation . “ Alright , I understand . Where’s the serum ? I’ll take it back with me now . ”
Leo’s smug look froze on his face . Thinking Josef hadn’t heard him clearly , he repeated , “ Josef , are you sure about this ? Iris said that once your father gets the serum , she won’t be able to perform the surgery . ”
Josef nodded firmly . “ Yes , I know . Thanks for your concern , Mr. Lambert . ”
Leo’s face darkened , a hint of ferocity in his eyes . Through gritted teeth , he said , “ Josef , do you really not care about your father’s leg ? If he gets the surgery , he could walk again . You … ”
“ Mr. Lambert , this is between us . I’m just here for the serum today ,” Josef cut in , his tone unwavering .
Josef was clearly losing his patience .
It wasn’t that Josef doubted Leo , but Leo kept stalling when it came to the ZS serum . The serum was nearly impossible to get , worth 12 million dollars , and you couldn’t even buy it through official channels .
Sienna had given them such a huge gift and brought all sorts of business deals their way . They just couldn’t let her down .
The constant delays in giving his father the serum had already left Josef feeling uneasy . If he’d just given his dad the shot right away , they wouldn’t be stuck in this situation .
Josef’s sudden change of attitude left Leo momentarily stunned , at a loss for what to say or do .
Iris spoke with composure , “ It’s alright . Since this is their decision , we can’t interfere . Didn’t you say the serum is in your lab ? Just give it to Mr. Bayer . ”
Leo glanced at Josef , putting on a show of reluctance . “ Iris , I’m only thinking of Calvin . I’ve bothered you so much , and you finally managed to reschedule a patient so you could operate on him first . Now … well … What a shame . ”
Iris smiled faintly , seemingly unfazed .
“ It’s alright , Mr. Lambert , ” she said .
Josef felt Leo was meddling a bit too much . Sure , he said it was all for his father’s good , but at the end of the day , he was just a doctor . Yet he acted like he had the final say without really considering what the patient wanted .
Leo walked into the lab and brought out a box , handing it to Josef .

Josef opened the box and frowned in confusion . “ Mr. Lambert , why does this look different from the last batch of serump ”
Leo’s heart jumped . He hadn’t expected Josef to catch that . Under Iris’s steady gaze , he forced himself to calm down and , a bit gruffly , patted Josef on the shoulder .
“ You little brat , I just brought it over for testing . What , you think I’d try to fool you ? I’ve been friends with your dad for years , and I watched you grow up . Why would I ever do anything to hurt you ? ”
Whatever doubts Josef still had , he decided to let them go for now after hearing that .
He smiled and said , “ Mr. Lambert , I didn’t mean it that way . I’ll head out now .”
As Josef walked away , Leo shot him a look full of disgust . ‘ Meddlesome brat , ‘ he thought to himself .
