"Mr. John Ansen!" Morris tried to remain polite.
After having his professional abilities questioned by his daughters, now John Ansen was belittling him again, further wounding his pride.
"You can speak bluntly, why can't I do the same? Did I say something wrong? You can't let your pitiful pride make them lose such a precious opportunity. I can responsibly tell you that Professor Yang is the only doctor in the world who can perform the surgery for them." John Ansen was neither in a hurry nor afraid of Morris getting angry.
The stronger someone's pride, the more it needs to be pierced. Otherwise, pride is like a fog that blinds him, controlling him instead of allowing him to follow objective facts.
