Brian snickered under his breath. Amanda was too worried to care, while Doctor Benson looked genuinely bewildered. Meanwhile, an unbothered Marcus calmly lowered Sir Edward’s head back onto the pillow.Coleman pointed at him furiously. “You did this! You did something to him earlier, didn’t you? You purposely made him react that way to my treatment! You made him vomit just to humiliate me!”Marcus looked at him with complete indifference. “I didn’t do anything to your treatment.”“Don’t lie to me!” Doctor Coleman seethed, the veins on his forehead threatening to pop out.“You’re the one who injected him,” Marcus replied calmly. “Everyone in this room saw it.”Coleman’s face reddened even more. “But you—”“My needles never touched him before you arrived,” Marcus continued, his voice even calmer than before. “Remember that you knocked them out of my hand before I could do anything. So tell me, what exactly could I have done to make him react to your treatment?”“I don’t know!” Doctor C

Dr. Coleman froze. And for several seconds, he simply stood beside the bed, gawking at Sir Edward as the old man’s body jerked uncontrollably.The confidence he had moments earlier had disappeared, and was now replaced with fear.His eyes moved frantically between Sir Edward and the heart-rate monitor as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.“This… this has never happened before,” he muttered.Brian grabbed ahold of his shoulder and shook him hard. “Doctor, what the hell is happening right now? Do something!”Coleman merely blinked at him.“My grandfather is dying!” Brian shouted. “Do something, Doctor Coleman!”“I… um…” Coleman stammered, struggling to find the right words. “Well, I think… perhaps we should—”“Dr. Coleman!” Dr. Benson had to interrupt. “Sir Edward is going into cardiac arrest. If we don’t do something now, we’re going to lose him!”Despite the urgency in the room, Doctor Coleman still looked completely lost.But that was all Marcus needed. Another memory suddenl

Everyone in the room turned toward the sound of the voice.Standing adjacent to Marcus was a middle-aged man of average height. He was balding, wore thin-framed glasses, and had a neatly trimmed salt-and-pepper beard.He was dressed simply in a brown sweater and khaki trousers, and carried a brown leather briefcase.The moment the doctor saw him, relief washed over his face.“Dr. Coleman! You made it right on time,” he exclaimed as he hurried toward him. “Thank you for coming. I honestly can’t tell you how relieved I am to see you.”Dr. Simon Coleman gave him a brief nod of acknowledgment before his attention shifted to the bed.His eyes moved from Sir Edward to the tray of needles beside him, then finally settled on Marcus.“What is going on here?” he asked, his expression growing more serious. “What exactly did I just walk into? What was this man trying to do?”The doctor quickly explained everything.“I’m so glad you’re here, Doctor Coleman. This young man claimed that he could sav

The doctor stepped out of the ward and pulled his phone from the pocket of his lab coat.“Hello, Dr. Simon. How are you? It’s been a long time,” he greeted the person on the other end.Marcus remained hidden behind the wall and listened.“I need an important favor,” the doctor continued. “Sir Edward Henderson, the patriarch of the Henderson family, has stage-four cancer. The cancerous cells are mutating extremely fast, and his condition is getting worse by the hour.”The doctor paused, listening to the response before continuing.“Yes, I know you’re attending the convention, but this is serious. He belongs to one of Eastwood’s Platinum-tier families, and his family is willing to reward you generously if you can help him.”Another pause followed.The doctor suddenly let out a sigh of relief. “You will? All right, thank you. I’ll be waiting. Please come as quickly as you can.”The call ended, and despite the fact that Marcus’s body had begun to ache from leaning against the wall for so

The woman stared at Marcus as the hot coffee dripped from her clothes onto the floor. “Are you blind?” she snapped, looking down at herself. “Couldn’t you watch where you were going? Look at my clothes now!” Marcus blinked, then quickly looked down at the damage he had caused. She was wearing a white crop top underneath a blue and black varsity jacket, blue jeans, and black boots. The coffee had soaked through the front of her white top, leaving a large brown stain across it. “I’m sorry,” Marcus apologized heartily. “I should have watched where I was going.” “Your apology doesn’t fix anything,” she fired back. “What am I supposed to do now? Walk around like this?” Marcus glanced at the stain again. “I can ask if the hospital has a laundry service,” he offered. “Maybe they can help clean it.” “Oh, just shut up, you pathetic piece of shit.” She glared at him. “Do you really think that fixes anything?” Her eyes moved over his bruised, disheveled appearance and she scoffed. “Looki

Marcus slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a bright white ceiling, then white walls. He blinked a few times, trying to clear his vision, and soon realized he was lying on a hospital bed. He tried to move, but pain immediately spread through his body. A wince fell from his lips as he stopped and looked down at himself. His chest and stomach were wrapped in bandages, his left arm was covered in a cast, and when he raised his other hand to his head, his fingers touched the bandage wrapped around his forehead. He frowned, trying to understand what had happened. “What happened to me?” A doctor standing nearby noticed that he was awake and turned toward him. The young woman beside the doctor also looked over and rushed toward the bed. “Oh my God, sir,” she gasped. “You’re finally awake. Are you all right? How do you feel?” Marcus observed her for a moment. She was a young brunette with her hair tied into a messy bun. She wore a simple top and jeans, with a handbag

Henry and Evelyn froze like deers caught in headlights as Adrian’s voice echoed throughout the hall. All eyes turned to them, and in that moment, they wished the ground would open up and swallow them whole. Evelyn was the first to regain her composure, and she instantly replied with a nervous chuckle. “Yes…but the thing is…” She trailed off as she scrambled for an excuse to give, and then it hit her. She quickly jabbed Henry’s stomach with her elbow, and the moment he winced, she wrapped an arm around his shoulder. “Henry suddenly developed a stomach upset!” She announced dramatically. “I need to take him to the hospital right away.” Henry immediately caught up to her plan and clutched onto his stomach, feigning more pained groans. “Ouch…it hurts.” Adrian cocked a brow as he instantly saw through their lies, and luckily for him, he was already two steps ahead. “That’s too bad,” he smacked his teeth in feigned sympathy. But then his expression lit up. “Fortunately, we have a

The hall was thrown into a panic-filled frenzy as Natalie pulled the trigger, and everyone’s heart lodged in their mouths as they dreaded what they’d see.As soon as the gun fired, Adrian stepped in front of Anita, completely shielding her.The world around him blurred as a sudden feeling overtook him and he saw the bullet moving in slow motion.His hand instinctively shot out and before he could even process it, the bullet got trapped between his fingers.The hot metal of the bullet would have seared the hand of an ordinary human, but Adrian was far from ordinary. The moment he realized he had caught the bullet, the world around him returned to normal.Natalie’s eyes widened in disbelief. “H-How..?” The words fell from her lips, but she didn’t complete them as she pulled the trigger again, with more force this time.Luckily for her, she had been wise enough to load the gun with more than one bullet.Adrian saw the second bullet coming and in one swift motion, he caught it with his o

As soon as Adrian made the announcement, all eyes turned to Anita, who looked completely stunned that the spotlight was on her.Adrian extended his hand toward her, a charming smile gracing his lips. “Come, Anita. Come to me.”Anita did her best to maintain a composed smile, hiding her unease as she gracefully approached Adrian.Regina and Vincent followed closely behind, their expressions equally confused.Anita was endowed in a shimmering, diamond studded powder-blue gown which had a thigh-high slit that revealed glimpses of her slender, toned legs as she walked.Her brown hair was styled in bouncy waves, and her beautiful features became more striking with the minimal makeup she had on.The guests all let out collective gasps as the spotlight followed her.Her flawless face, luscious hair, and the stunning dress made her seem like she had descended straight from heaven. Adrian was captivated by her radiating beauty, and couldn’t stop smiling.When Anita finally reached him and pla

The hug between Regina and Adrian lasted for a few seconds before Regina pulled back, and all the while Adrian’s eyes protruded from their sockets.He couldn’t just hide his shock.Regina’s hands lingered on his arms as she stared at him with affection. “I never thought I'd say this,” she admitted with a chuckle. “But I’m very grateful to you. I misjudged you, and I apologize for ever underestimating you.”It took Adrian a moment to regain his composure, and when he did, he offered Regina a warm smile. “It’s fine, mother-in-law. I’m just glad I’ve finally earned your approval.”Regina nodded. “I’m glad too. I hope this marks a new beginning between us moving forward.”And with that, Anita and her father joined in the hug to seal the emotional moment of reconnection and reconciliation.>>>>>The Engagement Day…The party was already in swing, although the main event hadn’t yet begun because Anita hadn't yet arrived.Dignitaries from all over Wibston were gathered in the grandiose hal

Anita’s eyes widened as her legs twitched again…and again. “Oh my God!” Her breath hitched as she regained sensation in her limbs. “I can feel my legs! I can feel my legs!”Regina and Vincent froze, their gazes gluing to her trembling limbs in pure disbelief.“You can feel your legs?” Regina echoed shakily. Anita nodded frantically as her fingers dug into the sofa while her legs kept twitching uncontrollably. When Adrian felt like he had transferred enough energy to Anita’s spine, he let go of her hand.A deep breath escaped his mouth as he felt the drain of energy from his body. His vision blurred for a moment before stabilizing, and when he finally looked at Anita, she was staring at him in awe.“How do you feel now?” He asked in a slightly hoarse voice.Anita let out an incredulous laugh. “My legs…I can feel them.” Her voice sounded very excited. “I can even move my toes. Look…”She demonstrated her words by wiggling them, her eyes shining with childlike wonder. “Good.” Adrian

Adrian maintained a serious expression as he met Anita’s confused gaze. “I have…abilities,” he confessed.Anita blinked, and she removed her hands from Adrian’s grip. “What?” Adrian inhaled and continued. “After coming in contact with the mystic scroll of an ancient Chinese grandmaster, I gained martial arts and healing abilities. I want to help you walk again, if you’ll let me.”There was a brief silence before Anita’s face contorted in deeper confusion. “This doesn’t make sense. How can a scroll give you abilities?”“Do you think we’re fools or something?” Regina scoffed from behind Adrian. “I thought you had changed from your slimy ways, but it seems I overestimated you.”“I have to agree with my wife on this one, son,” Vincent added with a frown. “Making a joke out of Anita’s condition is highly insensitive. I expected better from you.”Anita’s eyes glistened as she stared at Adrian with hurt written all over her face. “I can’t believe you would play with my feelings like this?
