At that moment, the tension in the room thickened once again.The governor’s sister, who had been standing quietly at the side with her arms folded tightly across her chest, finally stepped forward. Her face carried clear disapproval, her brows drawn together as she glanced at Liam from head to toe.“I’m sorry,” she said, her tone sharp and unyielding, “but I don’t support this.”Her gaze shifted toward the unconscious woman lying helplessly on the bed.“He’s not qualified enough to actually touch my mom.”Her words were firm—final, as though she had already closed the door on any argument.Immediately, Penelope let out a soft breath.Then she nodded.“I agree,” she said calmly.That alone shocked a few people in the room.“I agree to everything that all of you just said.”The governor frowned slightly, clearly not expecting that response from her.Penelope’s voice remained steady, her posture relaxed, but her eyes carried a quiet confidence.“Even if I was to be in her shoes,” she co

At that moment, tension thickened in the air like a storm refusing to break.Penelope had barely turned her body when Liam followed, both of them already stepping away from the heated argument. It felt like the decision had been sealed—like there was nothing left to say, nothing left to fight for.But just as their feet moved in sync toward the exit…“Wait.”The voice came sharp.Uncle Jay stepped forward, raising his hand slightly as if to physically hold the moment in place.His eyes shifted between the group, frustration and urgency mixing in his tone.“This is going to be very rude… and very wrong of us,” he said firmly, “if we just turn him away like that without even acknowledging what he is capable of doing.”Dr. William scoffed faintly in the background, but Uncle Jay didn’t stop.“Yes, I know what you said,” he continued, turning slightly toward the doctor. “He is not licensed. You already made that clear.”Then he pointed subtly toward Liam.“But Penelope is vouching for him

The moment those words left the monitor screen, the entire room snapped.The governor’s sister didn’t even think.She moved like a storm breaking loose.In one fast motion, she grabbed Liam by his shirt and yanked him forward.Her face was twisted in pure rage, tears already forming at the corners of her eyes.“How dare you!” she screamed, her voice cracking but loud enough to shake the room. “You crazy bastard!”Her grip tightened.“You killed our mother!”She shook him once, hard.“You quack! You should have said you know nothing! Nobody forced you to touch her! Nobody begged you to play God!”Her voice rose higher, almost breaking into hysteria.“But here you are! Sitting here like you have done something good—while you just sentenced her to death!”She pushed him slightly, still holding his shirt.“You better reverse whatever you just did!” she shouted. “You better fix it, because this is not going to be funny!”Her eyes burned with fury and grief.“You are going to rot in jail! Y

At that moment, Liam’s expression hardened slightly.He didn’t raise his voice, but his words cut through the chaos with a cold clarity.“No,” he said firmly. “If you interrupt now, we’re just going to kill this lady at this point.”The room went silent for half a second.Even the beeping machines seemed to hesitate.Dr. Kai narrowed his eyes.The governor stiffened.The governor’s sister looked like she was about to explode again.But beneath all that tension… something else was happening.Uncle Jay.He stepped back slightly.Slowly, Carefully.His eyes darted around the room like a man reading an invisible battlefield.The commotion… the shouting… the divided opinions…It was perfect.A distraction, a cover.A shield, no one was watching him.Everyone’s attention was locked on Liam and Dr. Kai.Either way this ended, blame would not land on him.If Liam was wrong—Liam would be destroyed.If Dr. Kai failed—Dr. Kai would be questioned.He would remain untouched.Invisible in the chaos,

The entire room erupted the moment Liam finished speaking.It was not a small reaction, nor was it the cautious murmur of people who were uncertain about what they had just witnessed. No—this was a full wave of shock, disbelief, relief, and raw emotion crashing through everyone at once. The crowd, which had only moments earlier been frozen in terror, suddenly burst into life. Gasps filled the air. People began speaking over one another. Some stepped forward. Others covered their mouths. A few simply stood rooted to the ground, their eyes stretched wide, unable to reconcile what they had just seen with what they had believed only seconds before.No one had expected this.No one had imagined that Liam would say what he said with such confidence, and even fewer had believed that anything he had done would actually work. To them, he had been an outsider, an uninvited risk, a desperate option taken only because there seemed to be no other hope left. Yet here they were now, staring at somet
