The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 356-360
Chapter 356
Noises emanated from Wendy and Kenneth's room. Christopher and Hannah exchanged worried glances and rushed to investigate. Wendy ran downstairs, disheveled and crying. Christopher noticed a red handprint on her face and asked, "What's wrong, Wendy? Did Kenneth hit you?"
Wendy wailed, "Father, Mother, his… manhood suddenly stopped working! I tried everything, but it's still the same. Then he hit me."
Christopher asked, "What do you mean?"
Wendy, unfazed by the embarrassment, explained, "His penis! It won't get erect—no response at all!"
Hannah shrieked, "Is it because of his age?"
Wendy shook her head. "I don't know why; it suddenly stopped working today."
Christopher understood why his son-in-law had slapped Wendy. It was understandable for a man to lose his temper in such a situation.
Kenneth then ran downstairs in his robe. Hannah stopped him, asking, "Kenneth, what happened? You could have used your words; why did you hit Wendy?"
Kenneth grimaced and yelled, "Get me to the hospital now!"
Christopher, though slightly offended by Kenneth's disrespect, prioritized his health. He retrieved his car keys and rushed Kenneth to the hospital. Throughout the drive, Kenneth cursed Charlie Wade repeatedly, his expression agonizing. He finally understood Charlie Wade's earlier threat—to render him impotent rather than inflict physical harm.
He raged, "His words came true! I don't know what that bastard did, but he stealthily deprived me of my sexual function! He didn't hurt my penis physically! Why did it suddenly stop working?"
Kenneth had meticulously maintained his sexual health for years, spending millions on supplements and exercise to surpass even men in their twenties. He was baffled and increasingly stressed, finding Charlie Wade's actions unsettling and mysterious. He worried about the possibility of permanent impotence and the meaninglessness of life without it.
Chapter 357
They arrived at Silverwing Hospital in the evening and waited in the emergency room. After twenty minutes, the doctor asked, "What's the problem?"
Kenneth dismissed Christopher before telling the doctor, "Doctor, I think I'm suddenly impotent. Can you examine me?"
The doctor gaped, "Impotence is a neurological issue, not an emergency. See an andrologist tomorrow morning. We handle emergencies like trauma and fevers."
Kenneth roared, "My impotence is an emergency! I need treatment now!"
The doctor, uncomfortably, explained that impotence develops gradually, not suddenly.
Kenneth, furious at this detailed explanation, yelled, "Are you an idiot? Examine me! Shut up and do your job!"
The doctor retorted, "I told you this isn't our area of expertise. Shout again, and I'll have security remove you."
Kenneth, gritting his teeth, pointed at the computer, "Google 'Modestway Group!'"
The doctor, confused, complied. Upon seeing the company website and the chairman's photo—Kenneth Wilson—he realized his patient's identity. His demeanor immediately changed.
"Mr. Wilson, welcome! I apologize. Please tell me what happened. I'll arrange for you to be admitted and see a specialist."
Kenneth, though still irritated, explained his sudden impotence.
The doctor, finding it unusual, asked if it was complete impotence. Kenneth confirmed. The doctor suggested it might be neurological and called a neurologist, noting that most outpatient doctors had already left for the day. Coincidentally, the on-call neurologist had treated Jacob Wilson's spinal injury a few days earlier. This doctor conducted several tests on Kenneth. Lying on the examination bed, Kenneth felt fear and despair, the loss of sensation in his penis seeming surreal. He trembled, realizing that if his impotence was permanent, he might as well be dead.
Chapter 358
Kenneth asked, "Doctor, how is it?"
The doctor shook his head, "Mr. Wilson, I'm afraid we can't fix this. Tests show penile necrosis—irreversible nerve damage. I'm sorry."
Christopher asked, "Could your hospital be inadequate?"
The doctor explained that while damaged nerves might heal, necrotic nerves cannot. It's like a car crash; some recover, some don't. He stated unequivocally, "In your case, no one can do anything."
Kenneth paled, yelling, "I have money! Ten million! Is that enough?"
The doctor responded sternly, "You can't bring the dead back to life, even with all the money in the world. Even Steve Jobs died."
Kenneth was stunned. The realization that his impotence might be permanent hit him hard. His years of hard work, his wealth amassed for a comfortable retirement, seemed meaningless. He wept openly. Christopher, understanding Kenneth's pain, felt a pang of empathy and resolved to protect his own virility.
The doctor then said, "Incidentally, Mr. Wilson, there might be someone who can treat this."
Kenneth, overjoyed, eagerly inquired.
The doctor replied, "He doesn't work at our hospital."
Kenneth pressed further, reminding the doctor of his earlier statement about the irreversibility of nerve death.
The doctor explained, "He cured someone paralyzed from the neck down. Your case is relatively minor in comparison."
Kenneth demanded to know who this doctor was and where he could be found. The doctor, hinting at a referral fee, mentioned Dr. Simmons at the Serene World Center in Aurouss Hill. Kenneth, remembering the name, realized it was a family friend.
Chapter 359
The doctor inquired about Kenneth's familiarity with Dr. Simmons. Kenneth happily explained their longstanding friendship, revealing that his family had helped Simmons in his early career.
Kenneth immediately drove to the Serene World Center. Upon arrival, he saw a clinic staff member ejecting a young man on crutches, Jason Grant, who was begging to see Dr. Simmons, offering $5 million. The staff member refused, stating that Grant had offended Dr. Simmons's "hero," and would call the police if Grant returned. Grant offered the staff member a bribe but was still turned away. Christopher recognized Grant and his connection to Charlie Wade. Grant revealed that his legs were severely injured and he was seeking Dr. Simmons' help. Christopher learned that the rejection was due to his connection to Charlie Wade.
Kenneth, scoffing at Grant's failure, confidently asserted his stronger relationship with Dr. Simmons, boasting a 50-year friendship and immediate access. He attempted to enter, but was initially turned away. However, when Kenneth yelled for Dr. Simmons, Anthony emerged, surprised to see his old friend. Kenneth explained his problem.
Chapter 360
Anthony, upon hearing about penile necrosis, realized the complexity and rarity of the condition. He questioned how it happened but Kenneth was hesitant to explain the details. Anthony admitted that while he couldn't cure necrosis, he possessed a powerful elixir that might help.
Kenneth pleaded for the elixir. Anthony hesitated, explaining that he kept it for emergencies and he was old and could need it himself one day. Kenneth begged for the elixir for the sake of their long friendship and his family's past favors.
Anthony, finally relenting, agreed to give Kenneth the elixir. As he reached for it, Xyla burst in, seeing her grandfather about to give away the precious elixir, a gift from Charlie Wade. Xyla revealed Kenneth had offended Charlie Wade. Anthony was shocked.
