One of the officers stepped behind Gloria and fastened a pair of handcuffs around her wrists.The metallic click echoed in the quiet compound.Gloria looked down at the handcuffs in disbelief."This is illegal," she protested angrily. "You can't do this to me. I have lawyers. I have connections."The lead investigator remained calm."You'll have every opportunity to speak with your lawyer. For now, you're under arrest on suspicion of multiple financial crimes, conspiracy, forgery, and arranging violent criminal acts.""I've done nothing!" Gloria shouted, struggling against the cuffs.The officers ignored her protests.They escorted her toward the waiting police vehicle parked outside the gate.Neighbors who had noticed the commotion peeked through their windows and gathered cautiously along the street. Some whispered among themselves as they watched the once-confident woman being placed inside the back seat of the police vehicle.Gloria glared through the window.Her eyes found Antoni

The grand medical innovation summit continued in full swing, with distinguished guests filling every corner of the magnificent ballroom. Influential entrepreneurs, renowned physicians, government officials, researchers, and business executives gathered in groups, discussing the remarkable presentations they had witnessed throughout the day. Antonio had undoubtedly become the centre of attention. His keynote address on integrating alternative medicine with advanced clinical practice had captivated the audience from beginning to end. More importantly, the medical breakthroughs he had achieved over the past month had left many experts speechless. Cases that had previously been declared hopeless had suddenly become success stories because of his innovative interventions. People continued discussing his presentation long after he had stepped down from the stage. "He is extraordinary." "I've never heard anyone explain medicine with such confidence." "Did you hear about the patient ever

Just then, the automatic glass doors slid open. Joey herself walked out to receive Antonio. She wore a neatly tailored white business suit beneath a doctor's coat bearing the centre's emblem. Though she was not a practising physician, she wanted everyone to know she stood with the medical professionals who worked under her leadership. Her face lit up the moment she saw Antonio. "Doctor Antonio." Antonio smiled politely. "Miss Joey." She walked over and shook his hand warmly. "Thank you for coming." "I appreciate you honouring your promise." Antonio nodded. "I gave you my word." "I'm glad you did." She gestured toward the entrance. "Please, come with me." Without wasting time, she personally escorted him into the enormous building. As they walked through the reception hall, many staff members greeted Joey respectfully. "Good morning, President Joey." "Morning, Miss Joey." "Good morning, ma'am." She acknowledged each greeting with a smile while continuing toward the ex

Antonio stepped out of the isolation ward and quietly closed the door behind him. The moment he appeared in the corridor, every pair of eyes turned toward him. Joey, who had been pacing anxiously outside with folded arms, immediately hurried over. Her face was filled with concern. "Doctor Antonio!" Antonio looked at her calmly. "Miss Joey." She searched his expression, trying to determine what had happened inside the ward. "Tell me honestly," she said hurriedly. "Were there any complications?" Antonio looked at her for a moment before answering. "No." Joey blinked. "No?" "I didn't encounter any complications." She frowned. "Are you certain?" Antonio nodded. "Yes." Joey still looked unconvinced. During the entire time Antonio had remained inside the ward, countless possibilities had crossed her mind. Perhaps the patient had reacted badly. Perhaps his breathing had become unstable. Perhaps the herbal preparations had produced dangerous side effects. Or perhaps the

The senior physician glared at Antonio with undisguised irritation. "You are unbelievable," he snapped. "I've told you repeatedly to stay away from this patient, yet you continue insisting." His voice carried through the emergency room, drawing everyone's attention. Several nurses exchanged nervous glances. The tension in the room grew even heavier. Antonio met the physician's gaze without raising his voice. His expression remained calm. "I only want to examine her." "You've examined enough!" the physician barked. His patience had completely run out. "This woman is in a life-threatening condition." Antonio remained composed. "And that is exactly why I need to examine her." The physician stared at him for a moment before letting out a bitter laugh. He slowly turned toward the other doctors, nurses, consultants, and specialists gathered throughout the emergency room. Spreading both hands in frustration, he shook his head. "Everyone, listen carefully." The room immediatel
