At that moment, Hudson really wanted to say that if it weren't for the Lim family's sake, even if they begged him on their knees, he wouldn't have come.The guard glared at him angrily. After sneaking a glance at Bowen, who was busy talking with the Little Doctor Immortal, he lowered his voice and growled,"Kid, I'm warning you. Be smart and leave on your own. Don't force me to throw you out."If he weren't worried about the family head discovering that he had failed to do his job properly, he would have already grabbed Hudson by the collar and tossed him out of the Lim estate.Hudson simply grinned.His expression practically screamed, I'm not leaving. What are you going to do about it?Seeing that Hudson had no intention of cooperating, the guard realized he had no choice but to act.After another cautious glance at Bowen, he reached out and grabbed Hudson's arm.The moment his hand touched Hudson's sleeve, it felt as though he had grabbed a cluster of hidden needles.A sharp pain s

The monitoring equipment suddenly began blaring an alarm.A sharp warning tone filled the room, signaling that Warrion’s condition had taken a dangerous turn.At that moment, Bowen happened to be walking in. The moment he saw the old man trembling uncontrollably on the bed, his face pale and strained, his expression changed dramatically.He rushed to the bedside and asked anxiously, “Kitty, what’s happening?”“I—I…” Kitty panicked.She had only just regained her focus, but the sudden alarm completely threw her off balance.Her eyes quickly swept over the dozens of silver needles already inserted throughout Warrion’s body. She wondered if her concentration had slipped earlier and caused her to place a needle incorrectly.But with so many needles already in place, it was difficult to spot the mistake immediately.Just then, Hudson’s calm voice sounded from behind her.“There’s too much stimulation at the Taiyi point.”“And the point is missing one needle.”Kitty froze for a split second

If the relationship wasn’t close enough, saying the wrong thing could make things awkward.The moment Hudson said it, he realized he and Kitty weren’t exactly close enough for certain comments. Fortunately, Kitty was too nervous to dwell on what he meant. Rather than explain further, Hudson cleared his throat and said, “Miss Kitty, since you’re not feeling any symptoms right now, you should find time to get an X-ray at the hospital.”“The equipment there should be able to identify where the problem is.”Now that she had regained her composure, Kitty nodded thoughtfully. She was already considering making an appointment.She understood that Hudson’s ability to detect physical issues far exceeded that of an ordinary person. If he was confident something was wrong, there was a good chance he was right. The symptoms simply hadn’t appeared yet, so she hadn’t noticed anything herself.As her nerves gradually settled, Kitty became more aware of the situation. Sitting alone across from Hudson

For now, all questions would have to wait until Warrion woke up.Recovering from such an ordeal would take time.Not long afterward, several nurses arrived to help clean and care for Warrion. Since there was nothing more they could do inside the room, Hudson and the others stepped out into the hallway of the private medical center in San Diego.Kitty was still holding the glass container that housed the parasite."Hudson, what should we do with this thing?" she asked.She had spent quite a while examining it. At first, curiosity had driven her to study every detail, but after staring at it for so long, it still looked like nothing more than an ordinary worm.Whatever fascination she had initially felt had long since disappeared.Part of her wanted to throw it away, but she worried Hudson might still have some use for it.Before Hudson could answer, Stef walked over."Kitty, we've never seen a parasite before. Can we take a look?"Since the creature had ultimately come from Hudson's tr

Inside the room stood rows upon rows of memorial plaques.They lined the walls from end to end, hundreds of them packed tightly together.Most of the names bore the Lim family surname.With only a quick glance, Hudson understood what he was looking at. These were the members of the Lim family who had been massacred twenty years earlier.As the man who had betrayed his own family, Warion had witnessed their slaughter with his own eyes. Burdened by guilt for decades, he had built this memorial hall to honor the dead."Ancestors of the Lim family... I have failed you."Tears streamed down Warion's face as he dropped to his knees and cried out.Hudson watched quietly.Because he had almost no memories of his childhood, he felt little emotional attachment to the Lim family despite sharing their bloodline. Even standing before the memorials of his ancestors stirred very little emotion within him.Still, the dead deserved respect.Carrying the blood of the Lim family in his veins, Hudson wal
