Clinical Trials!

After all, they've already reached this point, and death is only a matter of time. Even if the drug doesn't work, they won't suffer any losses. But what if the drug actually works?

The list clearly listed the address and contact information of each patient. Su Wan immediately handed the list over and asked the company's employees to contact them one by one.

Hunter and Kayla have a lovely daughter, Judy, who is only three years old. They should have been a happy family, but unfortunately, just a few months ago, their daughter was diagnosed with cancer, and it was already in its late stages when it was diagnosed!

Hunter and Kayla were just ordinary office workers with modest incomes. The various surgeries and treatments quickly depleted their savings and left them with debts of over ten thousand dollars.

Judy's condition not only did not improve, but worsened, and the doctor said there was no need to continue treatment.

They eventually had to discontinue treatment and take Judy home, doing everything they could to be with Judy so she could happily spend the last days of her life.

That noon, Kayla was carefully feeding Judy was very weak from her illness and unable to eat on her own.

"Judy, have another bite."

Kayla held out the spoon to Judy, but Judy refused to eat it, looking miserable.

"Mom, my tummy is starting to hurt again."

Upon hearing this, Kayla's eyes reddened involuntarily. She knew that this was the reason for the cancer cells that had spread throughout her body.

Kayla tried her best not to cry, but she was heartbroken. She didn't know how much longer her little Angel would be with her.

A pair of warm, large hands rested on her shoulders.

"It will be alright, it will definitely be alright!"

Kayla turned to look at her husband, and in his eyes she saw resilience and determination!

Kayla knew that her husband had never given up on their daughter, even after the doctors told them there was no cure; he continued to search online for new ways to treat cancer.

During the day, they stay at home with their daughter, and at night they work in bars and warehouses to earn money for her medical treatment.

However, they still haven't found a new drug that can keep their daughter alive. Perhaps one will come in the future, but their little Angel may not live to see it!

Just as Kayla was forcing a smile and trying to coax her daughter to eat, the phone rang suddenly.

"Ring ring! Ring ring!..."

Hunter gently patted his wife on the shoulder and turned to answer the phone.

"Hello, this is the Hunter residence."

"Hello, Mr. Hunter, I am a customer service representative from S.H.I.E.L.D. Biotechnology Company. You can call me Laura."

A gentle and pleasant female voice came through the receiver.

Hunter didn't know what the other person did, but he still spoke politely.

"Hello, Miss Laura, I wonder what brings you here?"

"I apologize for bothering you. We are a biopharmaceutical company that has developed a new type of anti-cancer drug that can prevent the spread and proliferation of cancer cells. It is also effective for patients with advanced cancer. This drug has now entered the clinical trial stage. We have learned about your daughter's situation, so we invite her to receive free treatment from our company."

Hunter frowned after hearing Laura's words. He searched online for almost all the new anti-cancer drugs that were under development and being tested, but he had never heard of a company S.H.I.E.L.D. Bio.

Moreover, the effects of those new drugs were very limited. The claim that they could "prevent the spread and proliferation of cancer cells and were equally effective for patients with advanced cancer" was something he longed for, but it also felt very unrealistic to him, so he couldn't help but ask a question.

"You mean your company has developed a drug that can cure cancer, even in its late stages?"

Hunter didn't blindly trust the other party just because he was eager to cure his daughter. He felt that the other party was more like a swindler and might ask him to pay some kind of deposit later.

"No, according to animal experiments, our drug can only prevent the spread and proliferation of cancer cells. Under the action of the body's own immune system, it can clear cancer cells that have spread to the blood and other tissues. However, tumors that have already formed will not disappear. But as long as the drug is taken continuously, these tumors will be in a dormant state and become similar to benign tumors, and will not affect the body's health."

Laura's explanation failed to reassure Hunter. He figured that these con artists probably knew that claiming to completely cure cancer was too unrealistic and no one would believe it, so they came up with this enticing story.

"So, do I need to pay any fees?"

Hunter's words were tinged with doubt.

Laura naturally sensed the other person's suspicion and smiled as she spoke.

"Don't worry, you won't need to pay any fees. On the contrary, we will pay you $100,000 for the trial after it is completed, and if the patient dies from cancer during the trial, we will pay $500,000 in compensation. All of this will be written into the contract."

Hearing this, Hunter became somewhat uncertain.

He researched many new drugs that were in clinical trials. It was standard practice for major pharmaceutical companies to pay patients who participated in the trials a certain fee, but it was usually not too high, just a little more than the salary of an ordinary employee. Even for a long-term trial lasting several months, $100,000 was already very high.

Furthermore, if there is a contract, there is no need to worry about the other party being a scammer. After all, the United States legal system is very developed, and people are used to having a lawyer accompany them when signing contracts. It is almost impossible to tamper with such a contract. Moreover, since the other party was able to find out about his daughter's situation, they should also be aware of their current circumstances. If they were trying to scam money, they wouldn't have chosen them.

But are there really any drugs that can completely control cancer?

He hoped it was true, but he found it hard to believe.

"To be honest, I can't completely trust you; I've never heard of your company before."

Hunter got straight to the point.

Laura's voice remained gentle and beautiful.

"I understand. It's normal that you haven't heard of our company since it was just founded. But I'm sure you've heard of our other company."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Hunter couldn't help but recall the company name the other party had mentioned earlier. It seemed to be called S.H.I.E.L.D. Bio? The name sounded somewhat familiar.

Just as Hunter was trying to make a connection, he heard Laura speak with pride on the other end of the phone.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company!"
