“Martin, is there nothing you can do properly? Hurry up and serve the food.”The sharp, impatient voice of a middle-aged woman rang in Martin Garvey’s ears as he prepared dinner in the kitchen.“Yes. It’s ready.”Martin carried out a tray with a large pot still steaming.Although there were five people in this house, only four bowls were set on the table.Martin, of course, was not included.“Get out of our sight.”Catherine Hayes waved her hand dismissively at Martin without even looking at him.As usual, Martin only nodded before returning to the kitchen to fetch a plate containing his own dinner. Compared to the dishes they were eating, his portion was far simpler.Not just this time—but every time.He then walked toward a small table in the corner.For three years as a live-in son-in-law in this family, he had eaten dinner alone, watching his wife and her family laugh and enjoy the food he had cooked.But before he could sit down, his mother-in-law’s voice rang out again.“Who said

The next day at the hospital—“Hey, did you hear the hottest news these past two days?”A young nurse whispered to her colleague while glancing at Martin, who was mopping the floor.“What? Are you serious? That lowly man is Quinn’s husband?”Pointing at Martin, the other nurse could barely hold back her laughter.“Oh my God! I thought her husband was some rich guy! Turns out he’s just a janitor! Kicked out of the main mansion and she ends up with trash!”“Hahaha!”“This is really the best gossip ever!”Martin frowned. They know about my relationship with Quinn? he thought.Since their marriage three years ago, Quinn had never revealed who her husband was.Someone must have leaked the secret.Not long after, an elderly woman in worn-out clothes came running down the hospital corridor, carrying a boy of about five years old in her arms.“Nurse, please, I beg you—do something for this child.”Standing before the counter, she looked at the two nurses desperately.“Fill out the form first.”

What?Everyone froze at what Martin had just done.What was this idiot doing?The child was clearly in severe pain, and this foolish janitor had just done something that seemed to make it worse?It was unbelievably reckless!“You’re truly an idiot!”Ethan shouted at Martin.“Get out right now!”Martin ignored the director’s yelling. Instead, he observed the child’s face for a few moments before stepping toward the door.But the moment he took a step, the boy’s body suddenly convulsed violently.His eyes rolled back, showing only the whites.“Oh my God! What’s happening?”The doctors standing behind Ethan immediately asked for permission to check on the child.They hadn’t conducted a proper examination before Martin’s reckless intervention.If something had gone wrong, they feared it might already be too late for first aid.At the same time, a young woman in her early twenties hurried down the corridor, wearing a light gray knee-length dress.“Aunty, where’s Cody?”Isla Horner’s face wa

“Sir, ma’am, we must not listen to his nonsense.”One of the doctors spoke to Ethan and Isla, nodding toward Martin.“If we don’t perform CPR immediately, I’m very worried this child won’t survive three minutes. If you don’t believe me, please look at his heartbeat.”On the monitor, the line curved faintly—almost straight.It was the visual representation of the patient’s heartbeat.If it became completely straight, it meant the heart had stopped.“We don’t have time. Please allow me to do it now.”Isla’s face was extremely tense.She wanted to take Cody to the capital, but the doctor’s words left her no choice.If she insisted on transferring him, his life might be at risk during the trip.Before she could respond, Martin’s voice sounded again.“No,” he said firmly. “The child’s body is fighting the remaining poison. Any external interference will only be fatal. The toxin could spread throughout his body.”Looking directly at Isla, Martin continued, “If he doesn’t wake up in three min

“Mr. Downey, what do you mean?”Isla frowned.She was extremely happy that Cody had regained consciousness.However, she didn’t understand why Ethan was still preventing this man named Martin from leaving.“Miss Horner, this man is not only reckless. He’s also very cunning.”Ethan pointed his index finger at Martin’s face.“This man knew that Cody had already received basic treatment from our hospital, so the child would recover within three minutes. He took advantage of that to create the impression that he was the one who healed the child. In reality, he merely exploited our momentary carelessness.”Upon hearing that explanation, Isla immediately turned her gaze toward Martin.However, she didn’t see anything suspicious in his demeanor.“I know you might not believe me,”Ethan continued.“But trust me, I never lie. You may be influenced by his sympathetic and attentive words and actions. But I’m already familiar with cheap tricks like that. It’s just an act from the most professional

“What?”Isla’s eyes widened.“No poison? How is that possible?”At first, she hadn’t fully believed Ethan’s words.But the laboratory results presented right before her—those couldn’t possibly be falsified, could they?“Yes, ma’am,” the doctor nodded. “You may ask this lady if you don’t believe me.”He politely gestured toward the middle-aged woman.“Aunty, is that true?”Isla quickly turned to her.“Y-yes, ma’am.” The woman nodded. “I saw the entire process myself.”On one hand, she was relieved that what happened to Cody wasn’t something dangerous.But on the other hand, she didn’t want anything bad to happen to Martin. After all, he had been the first to help the child.Still, she couldn’t lie. She had seen everything. And the results were indeed as stated.“Miss Horner, everything should be clear now.”Ethan smiled broadly as he stepped closer to Isla.“What I said has proven itself. That is not the dangerous one,” he pointed at the bottle containing the liquid sample.“But this ma

“Hey… do you think that live-in son-in-law actually has any real ability?”The receptionist who had mocked Martin earlier that morning now lowered her voice as she whispered to her colleague. Unlike before, she was careful with her attitude whenever the man was nearby.“I don’t know,” her female coworker shook her head. “But I heard he turned down a reward from Miss Horner. And it must have been a huge amount, right?”As the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in Havenport, Isla rarely gave personal rewards to anyone.Martin was one of the very few exceptions.Unfortunately, as the rumors said, he had politely refused.“Even though I’m not a doctor, it’s an honor for me to help someone,” he had said. “So please, don’t think too much about it.”The day had passed unusually quickly for Martin.After news spread that he had saved a child from deadly snake venom poisoning, everyone in the hospital began looking at him differently.That afternoon, just as he was walking toward the pa

“Please enjoy, sir, ma’am.”A waiter placed a small plate in front of Ethan and Quinn. On it sat delicate cream-layered canapés that looked as if they would melt at the slightest touch.“And this is yours.”When he placed the small plate before Martin, the difference was unmistakable.Instead of an exquisite pastry whose mere aroma could awaken one’s appetite, Martin received nothing more than coarse, bland whole wheat bread.“Sir, ma’am, I’m sure you’ll be curious about this,” the waiter continued with a wide smile, lifting a bottle gracefully.“Though it’s not as famous as Moscato d'Asti, its taste is far more seductive. I’m certain you’ll love it.”He poured the wine into Ethan and Quinn’s glasses.“Please,” he said warmly.When his gaze flickered toward Martin, however, his expression soured slightly—and he walked past him without pouring a drop.“My goodness! This is incredible!”Ethan shook his head, eyes half-closing as he savored the drink.“No wonder it’s far more expensive th

“What he said is true.”Martin lifted his head and looked at Quinn.At the same time, he casually tilted his chin toward Ethan. Instead of showing the respectful gesture of a subordinate toward his superior, Martin’s movement was relaxed—almost dismissive—like Ethan was no one important.“We came here because we have a reservation card. Whatever you’re eating has nothing to do with him. He’s not the one paying for us.”Once again, Martin casually motioned toward Ethan.“It’s fine. Eat.”He smiled—this time freely.“I’ve never taken you to a nice restaurant before. Consider this the first debt I’m paying back to you.”After saying that, Martin picked up a piece of whole-wheat bread, dipped it into the mayonnaise sauce in front of him, and focused on his food.Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.Gulp.“Delicious!”Martin didn’t care about what anyone said.He came here for one reason—to make Quinn happy.As long as his wife got what she wanted, that was more than enough for him.“Alright.”Quinn nodded

The loud burst of laughter eventually drew someone’s attention.This was H Liberty. While everyone had the right to feel comfortable here, peace and order still had to be maintained.“Excuse me, what’s going on here?”A young woman in a black turtleneck wrapped in an espresso-colored blazer and matching pencil skirt suddenly appeared behind the manager.She wore only a faint smile, yet the elegant and charismatic aura she radiated grew even stronger because of it.“Ma’am.”Upon hearing her voice, the manager quickly turned around.“I apologize if my conduct has displeased you. This would have been nothing more than a minor issue if a filthy, foul-smelling beggar hadn’t been so stubborn. I assure you this will be—”The rest of his sentence barely reached her ears.Her gaze had already landed on the man sitting ahead.Completely ignoring the manager, she walked straight toward him.“Mr. Garvey, what a pleasant surprise!”Her face lit up, her smile bright and genuine.“Why didn’t you info
