Alex remained calm. He had already endured enough humiliation for two years to be bothered by a few rude words from a stranger.Dr. Lucy, however, became furious. She was not going to stand there and let a little fry like Blake insult her mentor.“You are crossing your limits, Blake. Know your place!” she snapped back, snubbing him. “The man standing before you is the one they call the Miracle Maker. He can cure every known disease and even teach a cripple how to walk.”Blake, however, refused to believe a single word. He kept staring at Alex with suspicious eyes.Just then, a beautiful young lady entered the room. Her youthful eyes still had the spark of life in them, unlike the dreary eyes of the others in the room. She was none other than Elizabeth Warrington, the oldest daughter of Josiah Warrington, and Blake was her estranged cousin.Since Josiah Warrington was Edgar Warrington’s only surviving son, he was next in line to get all their estates and factories, but Blake and his f

Dr. Sonya had over thirty years of medical expertise and had served as a distinguished general physician for over two decades.Even before examining Edgar Warrington, she felt confident of treating his condition, regardless of his illness.Catherine Warrington spoke to her son, Josiah, and after a brief discussion, asked everyone else to leave. Only Dr. Sonya was allowed to stay back to check the patient.Alex and Dr. Lucy took off their PPE kits and discarded their gloves before heading outside.As everyone stepped out of the room, Elizabeth felt snubbed and cheated. She couldn’t believe Blake would question her credibility and even go as far as calling out her father in front of the family.Fuming with rage, she locked her eyes on her cousin and frowned. “You crossed a line today, Blake. I don’t know where you found that impostor, but let me tell you, she will not succeed. And when she fails to treat grandpa, I am going to expose your lies and have you thrown out of this family!”Bla

The judge’s decisive words made Felicia’s blood boil in anger. Even when Alex used to live with her as her husband, she would only allow him a pittance of one hundred dollars per week just to keep him occupied.She couldn’t believe her useless husband deserved even a single penny from her since he was the one who had filed for divorce. With nowhere left to vent her anger, she took it out on her lawyer. “What the hell am I even paying you for? Are you just going to stand there like a mannequin?”The flustered lawyer quickly gathered himself and addressed the judge on Felicia’s behalf.“Your Honor, Mr. Verlaine is of sound mental health and does not have any disabilities that we know of. I am quite certain that he can earn his own living after the divorce without depending on his ex-wife.”“That is not for you to decide,” the judge retorted calmly. “Mr. Verlaine was married to the CEO of Femme Fatale, Felicia Rashford, and he was accustomed to a certain kind of lifestyle during the las

Fifteen minutes after the call disconnected, three black choppers landed on the mansion’s helipads.Half a dozen elite guards, neatly dressed in black tuxedos, jumped onto the roof and secured the perimeter, scouring the area for potential threats.As Alex stepped out of the service elevator, the guards knelt in submission. “Welcome back, boss!” they shouted in unison, keeping their heads bowed and their eyes lowered in reverence.Dr. Lucy walked beside Alex, matching his confident stride with her measured steps.“We have been waiting for this day for years,” she said.“I never thought I’d return to this life,” Alex sighed as he stood among his elite guards, his hands clasped behind his back and his eyes gazing into the distance, trying to peer into some forgotten dream. “I guess the quiet life’s not for me after all. No matter how hard you try, sometimes you can’t outrun your past.”***The choppers flew over the city in tight formation, their advanced stealth jammers blocking all ra

As Edgar Warrington was rushed to the ICU room, Alex followed after him with Dr. Lucy in tow.The rest of the Warrington family was asked to wait outside, but Catherine Warrington was adamant in her refusal to leave her husband’s side.“I am going in there with you. Let me through!”Alex stopped and turned around, his sharp eyes glaring at Catherine. “If you want me to save your husband, don’t interfere.”With that, he slammed the door in her face, shutting it from the inside. As the surgery lights turned on, Catherine Warrington backed away in shock.No one had ever dared to treat her with such contempt before, and it left her feeling flustered and helpless.“Did you just see the way that bastard treated grandma?” Blake questioned in an incredulous voice, trying to sow the seeds of turmoil once again. “Dr. Sonya was already doing her best trying to save grandpa, but you decided to trust a scamming rookie instead!”Elizabeth quickly took Blake to task before he could spit more of his v
