The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 471

Upon hearing Horace's words, Terrence's hands quivered, and he looked furious. "What about you? Do you even care about me? Do you think you're like a father to me?

"What is it that they say? 'Like father, like son'? I'm just following your example, so you're not in a position to lecture me."

Horace was infuriated, barely holding his urge to curse up a storm.

Without hesitation, Terrence added, "Don't yell at me. If you keep it up, I'll just hang up."

Horace clenched his teeth in frustration. Dammit, Terrence was unbelievable! How could Terrence stop Horace from saying his piece?

Horace clenched his jaw and swallowed his anger, but he was fuming inside. "Who do you think you are compared to me? You're just a doctor, and the most you can aspire to be is a hospital director. I'm a general in the military, commanding an army."

With an annoyed smirk, Terrence rolled his eyes upon hearing the same old line. "If you're still not getting to the point, I'm hanging up."

Horace sighed and calmed down. He coldly said, "You should check on Isaac. He got hurt and had a serious head injury. I tried calling him, but it wouldn't go through. Maybe he was just sulking.

"As a dad, can't you step up and do your part?"

Upon hearing that Isaac was hurt, Terrence's expression changed slightly, but he soon realized it wasn't that bad. Otherwise, Horace wouldn't be so calm.

After a moment of silence, Terrence remarked, "You should know why I didn't join the military. I don't want to follow in your footsteps."

Upon hearing that, Horace showed agony in his expression. "Your choice might be the right one. Mine is a path of no return. But who the hell am I doing this for if not you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have made it past three years old.

"Anyone in the country can criticize me, but you're the one person who can't say a thing about it. You hear me? You don't have that right."

Terrence didn't respond. He and Horace were silent on the call. After taking a deep breath, Horace recomposed himself before continuing.

"When you left, I ended up being both dad and grandpa. A few years from now, I might not be around anymore. By that time, you and Isaac will just fall apart without anyone to smooth things over.

"Are you planning to sever your father-son relationship by not contacting him? Just give him a call. Anyway, I'm hanging up. You figure it out."
