041 Monster
A gust of wind swept through the room. In the blink of an eye, Dexter found himself slammed against a stone pillar twenty feet away.His wide, unblinking eyes remained frozen in shock, disbelief, and pure horror.Moments earlier, the doctor had been seconds from death. Now he was alive, breathing hard, his body trembling uncontrollably.The room plunged into absolute silence. No one moved. Even Peter stood rooted in place, unable to tear his eyes from the scene.Everyone else was still too stunned by Arthur's bizarre transformation to notice that Leonard had rescued Dexter in a single, invisible motion. The young man had already returned to his original spot without anyone seeing him move.Dexter had been a pain in the ass, but Leonard wouldn't allow an innocent man's murder under his watch."Gahhh!" Arthur Harrington let out another deep, feral growl, snapping the others out of their daze.Instantly, the chamber erupted into chaos. Panic-stricken guests scrambled away, pushing and sh
042 Second Opinion
Though Leonard hadn't carried out a full diagnosis yet, he was nearly certain that just like the Mermaid Tears would only make things worse for Arthur's condition, just like Dexter's Curaxin pill did.However, this time, Arthur Harrington's body would not survive the ordeal.John Weaver's face darkened. First it was Dexter, and now this kid? Couldn't he catch a break from the amateurs?John was the renowned Medical Sage, favored by royal families and celebrities. His presence alone was a gift to patients.He would've reduced the Harrington invite if he weren't Arthur's old friend. What gave these brats the guts to keep insulting him?John turned sharply towards Leonard, his gaze piercing. "Kid, I'll admit you've got some talent in visual diagnosis and acupressure. But you're still just a budding sprout—nowhere near the level to challenge me!"Leonard let out a wry smile at the medical sage's outburst. He couldn't understand why people like them always thought that someone having a con
043 The Mermaid's Tears
Sophia lifted her tear-streaked face from her grandfather's bedside and locked eyes with her father, her voice cracking with frustration. "Dad, why are you treating Leonard like this? Have you forgotten that he saved my life?"Gregory's expression hardened, though a flicker of paternal warmth lingered in his gaze. He spoke quietly but with unyielding authority."I know what the young man did for you, but if he wants to remain here, he must hold his tongue. But considering the horrifying images he has already spoken of, I would suggest he leave. I'm sorry, my dear."Sophia's eyes moistened at his words. Gregory paused, then added with a bitter edge, "Besides, isn't he after the Mermaid's Tears himself? This could be nothing more than a scheme to seize it from us.""Dad, that's completely unfair!" Sophia protested, her hands clenched at her sides. There's no way her savior had such evil intentions.Leonard rose without a word. "Very well. I'll take my leave," he said, his voice calm and
044 Medical Prophet
All eyes snapped towards Arthur Harrington's bed. One look at the scene was enough to freeze the entire room in collective dread. Their faces drained of color, their jaws slackened, and a ripple of horror passed through the crowd like a wave. The patriarch's body no longer looked human. It thrashed in violent convulsions, its muscles seizing with unnatural force. Beneath Arthur's thinning skin, his veins swelled and blackened, dark lines spreading outwards like ink bleeding through parchment. Frost crystals began to form along his forearms and collarbone. The old man's breathing turned shallow and ragged, each inhalation a desperate struggle. With every exhalation, thin wisps of smoke-like vapor escaped his nostrils. Gregory's fists clenched white-knuckled at his sides. "What is happening?" Dr. John Weaver waved a dismissive hand. "There is no need for panic. After such a long period of illness, the body is simply reacting to a powerful healing surge. These are expected aftereff
045 Welcome to Reality
The declaration that Arthur Harrington was dead landed in the room like a thunderclap. The words hung in the air with chilling finality, while the spectators stood paralyzed in disbelief.Leonard's morbid warnings replayed in their heads. They had laughed at him, dismissed him as a fool, and yet every single prediction had come true with shocking accuracy. The young man had been right three times in a row!Whispers spread among the stunned onlookers. Who exactly was Leonard really? How could he see the unseen and predict the future?Gregory's mood took a darker turn. His face twisted with raw fury. He turned and seized John Weaver by the collar, slamming him against the nearest wall. His fingers tightened around the man's neck."What did you just say? My father is dead?! And you call yourself the Medical Sage? Huh?!""Gregory... Please… You're killing me…" John wheezed, his complexion turning ghostly as oxygen fled his lungs.No one tried to intervene. The Harrington and Remington fa
046 The Curse
Outside in the courtyard, Sophia didn't have to search for long. She spotted Leonard almost immediately, leaning calmly against an ancient tree just beyond the gates.The young man had never departed. The Mermaid's Tears were consumed, and he was humiliated by the Harrington patriarch. Therefore, he had every logical reason to leave.However, Leonard's conscience had anchored him there. Sophia had defended him fiercely both in the Eclipse Consortium and before her entire family. She believed in him too strongly. He could not betray her faith and abandon her at this critical juncture.Sophia froze in surprise, and then her emotions flowed like a stream. She rushed forward, her tears streaming freely. "Leonard, you're still here! I can't believe you stayed for me!"The young man offered her a casual shrug, a faint smile touching his lips. "I expected you would come looking for me."Sophia steadied her breathing, studying him with fresh eyes. The more she observed Leonard, the deeper the
047 God of Medicine
The horrific worms scene triggered an instant wave of revulsion, gripping everyone present in a toxic bubble.The Harrington and Remington relatives and well-wishers stepped back. Their faces paled as the writhing mass of worms spilled across the bedsheets and floor.The creatures' slick bodies coiled and thrashed in plain view. The crowd wondered how such horrors could have remained hidden inside a living man for so long.Several spectators turned aside and retched violently onto the marble tiles. The room filled up with a thick, suffocating stench, forcing the servants to fling open the heavy curtains and windows for ventilation.Gregory's features contorted with disgust. "Maids!" he shouted, his voice echoing off the walls. "Come inside now!"Six uniformed women entered at once, bowing in perfect unison. "Yes, Mr. Harrington!""Restore order here at once," he commanded, gesturing sharply at the mess. "Make the air breathable again before anyone else falls ill from this nightmare."
048 The Aftermath
The room broke into tumultuous applause. What Leonard had achieved was nothing short of a divine miracle! Even John Weaver and his followers were clapping their hands enthusiastically.Leonard held up a hand to silence the noise, his tone turning grave. "As I warned earlier, this was not any ordinary sickness. It was a deliberate bloodline curse.""Someone embedded a cursed egg worm inside Arthur years ago with the intention of slowly and painfully killing him. After his death, the egg would transfer to his heir."Gregory's expression darkened, as did those of the entire Harrington family. The implications chilled the room."The egg grew into a mother worm, giving birth to hundreds of others. Fortunately, it is now dead and will be expelled naturally over the coming days."Leonard continued. "But I must caution you. Whoever orchestrated this is a seasoned practitioner of the dark arts. They may attempt something even more vicious once they learn Arthur has recovered. Stay vigilant at
049 The Master
A profound hush descended over the chamber, it seemed to swallow every sound. One of the country's most revered figures, Dr. John Weaver, the Medical Sage himself, knelt on the cold floor before a young man barely out of his twenties.The sight bordered on the absurd, and the reversal was highly unexpected.Victor Langford clutched his burning cheek, his eyes wide with disbelief. This was the legendary healer whose name commanded respect across the entire medical world. How could such a titan grovel before a nameless youth?The contradiction made Victor's stomach churn. Leonard was nothing, a nobody who did not even belong in the same room.Peter and Drake stood equally frozen, their faces twisted in confusion as they struggled to process the scene. Nothing in their world had prepared them for this reversal.Only Sophia remained composed, standing just behind Leonard. A quiet, prideful smile played at the corners of her lips. This was the man who had captured her attention, the one wh
050 Extraordinary Man
The physicians hesitated, glancing between Sophia and Gregory. The patriarch’s silence spoke volumes. Defeated, they rose slowly, their shoulders slumped, and pride in tatters.Regret settled heavily upon them. Had they recognized Leonard's genius earlier, they might have stood beside the Medical Sage as disciples. Now it was too late.A soft cough broke the tension.Arthur Harrington stirred on the bed. Color flooded back into his cheeks at a visible pace. His breathing steadied, and the exhaustion melted from his features.The old man slowly opened his eyes. He was finally awake.The Harrington family stared in collective astonishment, then erupted with joy. Their gazes turned to Leonard, filled with awe and gratitude. He truly was the God of Medicine."Grandpa!""Father!"Sophia and Gregory rushed to the bedside. Sophia embraced him tightly for the third time that day."Am I going to collapse again?" Arthur asked, his voice hoarse but steady.Sophia swatted his arm lightly. "Hmph!
