| Z+ City | | Zane and Zana Jewelry Mall | “Forget about them,” Matthew said coldly. “I’ll make the payment.” For a moment, no one said anything as Matthew reached for his phone. "That's funny," Lucian leaned on the counter, "Can you afford the payment?" "What is the cost?" Matthew ignored Lucian. "The necklace cost 36.3 Billion dollars..." the woman managed to say. "What?! Why is it so expensive! that thing ought to have been bought and sold numerous times before it got here!" Matthew lamented. The woman shook her head. "It wasn't, if you find it so expensive then why bother?" "No." Matthew replied, "I want to see the owner of the mall. He might probably have the real price of this necklace instead." "So what, are you saying she's lying about the price of the necklace?" Lucian turned to him. "You stay out of this, always meddling in affairs that don't concern you." Matthew said coldly. His gaze now fixed on Elsa, "Have your mistress put that necklace back on the p

“And why should we trust you?" The man's wife objected to his words. "what do you mean why should you trust me, your daughter is dying and this is what you can say?" "Dying?" The man drags Lucian's collar. "my daughter isn't dying. we gave her the medicines and it says that her condition is stabilized." "I will beg you not to believe a word for Saint Luke's Hospital. They aren't being entirely honest. Okay fine tell you what if I do reach your daughter's life then you can arrest me but if I don't you must cut off all connections with saint luke Hospital." Lucian had just about enough of their drama, the ultimatum was the only way he could get them to let him treat their daughter. And if of course they don't accept the ultimatum then he will just have to walk away. "Honey, don't believe him!" The woman pulled her husband away from Lucian. "I'm telling you the man is a fraud, we have to call the police and get arrested, maybe then you'll be able to speak up properly." Just then

It was quiet that evening in Lucian's office. He was offered some tea and snacks after some time."Tea and snacks?" Lucian was shocked. "You guys offer tea and snacks here?""Yes sir, is there a problem?""No, no, everything is fine." Lucian forced a smile before he took his eyes off the woman and looked at his desk.The moment she left, Lucian took the cup of coffee and smelled it. I find it really strange that this hospital offers cookies and coffee to doctors.Although it was quite shocking since it wasn't a normal thing that goes on in other hospitals. Lucian would have been happy about it if it wasn't Saint Luke Hospital and knowing them for their dubious acts.How do I know that this coffee doesn't contain any form of toxin that could harm me? There's already a possibility that Martin suspects me for something I'm not sure about. He took another look at the cookies. He was so hesitant to shake hands with me.Still thinking of how I'm going to get rid of that camera.Just then, t

CHAPTER 157“Gawain!”Martin stormed into the office without knocking.“Guess what just happened.”Gawain slowly raised a brow, clearly confused.“How am I supposed to guess what happened when I have no clue what you’re talking about?”Martin looked furious. His fist slammed onto Gawain’s desk.“It’s Dr. Patrick.”Gawain leaned back slightly.“…Alright. What about Dr. Patrick?”“He cured Mr. Charles.”Gawain blinked.“The patient who was admitted today.”“Oh?” Gawain said, surprised. “You don’t say. He cured Mr. Charles? Are you sure about that?”Martin’s frown deepened.“Yes. Of course I’m sure.”“And who told you this?”“My daughter, obviously. Remember I told you she would be his assistant nurse?”Gawain nodded slowly.“Yes… Melanie.”“She was supposed to keep an eye on him during his shift,” Martin continued. “Unfortunately, she couldn’t get the kind of information I wanted.He paused.“But the one thing she did tell me… was that Dr. Patrick cured Mr. Charles.”Gawain slowly remov

CHAPTER 159After giving it a deep thought, Lucian leaned forward. "Fine." He deliberately tapped his finger on the desk. "If you want me to stay here then I'll keep the two million." The words caught Martin Luke off guard. "What's the meaning of this?" "Your purpose for calling me here was to make sure I don't work away with the money... right?" Lucian raised a brow. "So if you really want me to comply with your rules then you will have to make me keep my lips sealed." Martin frowned. "And there I thought you were some man of Honor, ready to work away and leaving the bag behind." "I would have but you made it obvious that if I walk out of this facility..." Lucian lowered his voice, "you are going to get me killed." Martin kept his gaze steady on him, 'I underestimated him. He's quite smart, I do want the money so badly but he has decided to make use of it as some bribe to keep quiet.' 'It works for me but I am not buying any of this. I still sense that there's more to D
