Chapter 42 The Proposal That Makes Her Tempted
Dalton's intention was obvious.
Although she hadn't mentioned anything about the supply of medicinal herbs, he understood her purpose very well, and even took the initiative to talk to her.
Riley hesitated because their grandfather hadn't fully recovered.
After all, The Benedict Family had originally promised to cure Mr. Benedict Sr. before offering the medicinal herbs at a discounted price.
She remained silent for a moment, and Dalton stood still, smiling at her.
Riley saw this and also smiled. "To be honest with you, I came here to treat Mr. Benedict Sr. after hearing from a friend that the Benedict family would sell medicinal herbs at half price to the doctor who cured Mr. Benedict Senior. However, now Mr. Benedict Sr. has just woken up, and the specific situation is still unclear. I don't think it's the right time to talk about compensation with the Benedict family yet. At least we should wait until Mr. Benedict Senior's condition improves."
Upon hearing this, Dalton's smile grew even more apparent and sincere. "Dr. Monroe, for my grandfather to wake up is already a great surprise for us. As for the subsequent treatment, I absolutely trust you. Therefore, you now have a reason to talk to me about compensation."
Riley didn't expect him to trust her so much. She hesitated for a moment before finally sitting down on the sofa.
"You were introduced by Doctor Stone. When Doctor Stone came to treat Mr. Benedict Senior, he mentioned the situation at the research institute to me. However, later, he said he was powerless and the matter had to be put aside."
Dalton explained to her, "Now that he has recommended you, I can only assume it is related to the research institute. Am I right?"
Riley nodded slightly and calmly explained the current situation of the research institute to him.
"The research institute currently has several projects, but progress has been stagnant due to a lack of medicinal herbs. We are looking for potential partners among medicinal herb merchants in H City, but we have been rejected by almost all of them. In desperation, Deacon thought of the situation with the Benedict family and suggested that I come and give it a try."
Finishing her explanation, Riley looked at Dalton and earnestly added, "Of course, even without compensation from the Benedict family, I will do my best to treat Mr. Benedict Sr. Compensation is just an opportunity."
Seeing her serious expression, Dalton felt even more respect for her and sincerely said, "I apologize once again for my previous doubts. You are a great doctor."
Riley accepted his apology calmly and fixed her gaze on him, waiting for him to bring up the matter of medicinal herbs.
Without wasting any words, Dalton went straight to the point after understanding the situation.
"After your treatment, my grandfather finally woke up, so from now on, my grandfather will rely on you. As for the reward promised by the Benedict family, I can make the decision. We will first supply a batch of free samples to your research institute, which can be considered as our gratitude. In addition, the Benedict family will sign a long-term contract with your research institute, and all the medicinal materials supplied afterwards will be at half price."
After listening, Riley slowly understood. Witnessing Mr. Benedict Senior waking up under her treatment, Dalton completely believed that she could cure him. The batch of free supplies he proposed could be seen as a token of gratitude, as well as a way for Dalton to reassure her.
With this batch of medication, the current difficulties of the research institute could be solved, and during this time, she could focus on treating Mr. Benedict Senior. Dalton's proposal made her very tempted.
"Okay, rest assured, I will do my best to treat Mr. Benedict Senior."
