Jarvis laughed as he placed the box on the table. "I heard from Lia that the financial condition of the patient's family is not good. I was thinking of ways to reduce my medical bills. But looking at it now, it doesn't seem like I need to bother."
.......................................................
"Mr Andra, you're mistaken. The patient's family situation is not good. I'm not part of their family" Luis replied.
"You can afford something like this. How could you not be a patient's relative? This ginseng is worth several hundred thousand dollars. It is not easy to get it on the market, Jarvis elaborates in a rather cold tone.
"Mr Andra, she's not a relative of that family. He saved the patient. That's why, she cares so much about them," explained Lia.
"He did it?"
"No, the culprit's been arrested. Surveillance camera footage shows the incident clearly."
"Then why would you reward me for something like this?" A look of doubt flashed in Jarvis' eyes. Ginseng root is not cheap. The price of both can reach at least several hundred thousand dollars.
He saw no point in helping strangers get this far.
"There is no hidden meaning. I just want to help" Luis said with a smile. After all, he bought his ginseng at a cheap price.
Jarvis was silent for a moment and then sighed. "Everyone says that doctors are kind people. I've been in the medical field for most of my life, but I doubt I can behave as selflessly as you. Please take it back."
Jarvis pushed the gift box. Don't worry. I will try to treat the patient as best I can. You make me feel bad about this gift."
"But, Mr. Andra .. his ginseng..."
"If you don't need it, just give it to the patient. It would be much more beneficial than giving it to me."
"At least you should take one. Please think of it as a sign of gratitude, or my respect for you," Luis said agitatedly.
He almost wants to tell Jarvis that he can buy him a house if Jarvis doesn't like the ginseng.
Jarvis was surprised. He glanced at Lia and said, "He's a pretty interesting person."
"I think so too. Lia nodded awkwardly.
"All right then. I'll take a little ginseng." Jarvis giggles. He grabbed his phone to call, asking for a medical scales.
The wild ginseng from Mount Falkariye weighs 21.3 grams.1 gram costs about 1,500 dollars.
Pulling out his phone again, Jarvis asked for Luis' bank account number. He directly transferred 30 thousand dollars to him.
Shortly after, Luis' phone rang an incoming notification.
"Luis, do you mind checking it out?" Jarvis gestured towards him.
"Not to." Luis waved his hand indifferently. "I believe in you!"
"You should take this one.
Jarvis carefully closed the box and handed it to Luis. "I'm sure you know that the two ginsengs in the box have different values."
One is a 50-year-old ginseng, while the other is hundreds of years old. The value between the two cannot be compared at all.
"What's the other one worth? Lia asked curiously.
Almost priceless. Jarvis shook his head. Prices of ginseng are hundreds of years old and tend to change over time following changes in demand. If there is an urgent need, someone will be willing to buy it even if the price reaches 790 thousand dollars. "At least a few hundred thousand dollars. And the value will continue to rise. Moreover, this ginseng Luis possessed seemed to be a premium quality wild ginseng from Mount Falkariye."
"We're leaving now, Mr. Andra, Luis announced.
"good. I still have to analyze the patient reports, so I can't drop you off Jarvis said happily.
As soon as he returned to the ward, Luis gave the box to Vina. "Supplements for your daughter."
Vina surprise. He opened the box, then closed it again. He wants to give it back. He said, It's too expensive. We really can't take it."
He already owed Luis 15 grand. If he were to receive this ginseng, his debt would grow even bigger.
"Not to worry. Ginseng is artificial. It's not expensive." Luis implies that Vina should accept him.
There are many artificially grown ginsengs on the market. Ginseng is not very expensive. This premium Falkariye Mountain Ginseng that Luis bought was much cheaper than the others.
Luis understood Vina's character. If he knew that this was a genuine hundreds of years old ginseng, he would never accept it.
"really?" Vina doubted it, but she kept the box.
Afterwards, Luis accompanied Vina for a while before returning home.
Luis didn't have a car, so he hitchhiked on Lia.
"You have your own way, don't you? You actually managed to obtain an extremely rare item!" Lia praised him while driving.
With Luis' net worth, it was no surprise that he could obtain rare items. However, giving the item to someone he just met was unexpected.
The gift is not cheap. In fact, the price is priceless.
"What harm? You jealous?" Luis teased.
"Jealous? That's right!"
It just so happened to be a red light, so Lia took the opportunity to hit Luis on the head.
"All right! I surrender!" Luis raised his hand in surrender.
