Chapter 21: Black BloodThe moment the old man coughed up blood, the entire room exploded into chaos.“Grandfather!”Zora’s voice came out first as she rushed toward the bed instinctively, her face paling the moment she saw the blood splatter across the sheets. At the same time, her father staggered backward slightly before pointing at Cassian with shaking fingers, his expression twisting violently.“You bastard!” he roared. “What did you do to my father?!”The veins on his neck bulged from anger as he charged forward like he wanted to grab Cassian by the collar right there inside the hospital room.“You said you could cure him!” he shouted furiously. “You touched him for less than a minute and now he’s coughing blood?! If anything happens to him, I swear I’ll ruin you! I’ll make sure you never leave this hospital alive!”The stepmother also panicked instantly after seeing the amount of blood.“I knew it!” she shrieked while backing away slightly. “I said this man was a fraud! A luna

Chapter 22: The Grandson-In-LawThe moment the old man smiled at Cassian, the entire room froze and nobody spoke.Everyone present both inside and outside doesn't even seem to breathe properly.The father-in-law stood rooted in place, his eyes moving between the black blood on the floor and the old man sitting upright on the bed. A few minutes ago, the old master had looked half-dead, weak to the point even waking him up seemed difficult, yet now… color had returned to his face. The colour wasn't just a slight one but an obvious one. His breathing had stabilized, his shoulders no longer trembled, and even the dull lifelessness around his eyes had disappeared.It felt unreal.The stepmother was the first to snap out of it.“Grandfather?” she called uncertainly.The old man glanced at her calmly and that simple movement nearly made the father-in-law stumble.“Father!”He rushed forward immediately alongside the others while helping the old man sit properly against the bed. His hands

Chapter 23: Honor Your BetHearing Zora’s words, the old man’s eyes lit up instantly.“Good!” he said excitedly while looking at Cassian again, the more he looked at him, the happier he seemed to become. “Very good!”His laughter carried genuine relief now instead of weakness.“I was already wondering how such a young man could possess such refined medical understanding,” he continued. “But now it makes sense. Your mother was also extremely skilled in medicine back then. I still remember how shocking her techniques were.”The old man nodded to himself repeatedly.“You must’ve inherited some of her abilities.”At the mention of his mother, something softer flickered briefly through Cassian’s eyes, but it disappeared almost immediately. He only smiled faintly and said nothing.Meanwhile at the edge of the room, Jackson quietly began inching toward the exit.Very carefully and silently like a criminal trying to escape a murder scene before witnesses remembered his face.Cassian noticed i

Chapter 24: The Family ClinicThe old master chuckled softly as Jackson stormed out of the room, his laughter carrying the relaxed satisfaction of someone who had just watched an entertaining show after nearly dying a few hours earlier.Unlike the others, he didn’t continue questioning Cassian or praising him endlessly. Instead, he simply looked toward the doctors calmly.“So,” he asked, “can this old man finally leave this place now?”The doctors exchanged awkward looks before nodding quickly.“Yes, Old Master,” the senior doctor said respectfully. “Your vitals are completely stable now. We still recommend some rest and follow-up observation, but medically speaking… you can be discharged.”Even now, the man sounded slightly dazed saying it.The old master immediately waved his hand.“Good. I’m tired of smelling medicine and hearing machines beep.”Cassian nodded lazily from the side. “Reasonable. Hospitals are depressing. Too much white paint.”The old master laughed again.Meanwhile

Chapter 25: Trouble at the ClinicThe moment the call ended, Zora’s expression completely changed.The calm look she had maintained throughout disappeared instantly as she pushed her chair back and stood up without hesitation.“I need to leave immediately,” she said.The sudden seriousness in her tone made everyone at the table look toward her. Even the old master’s smile faded slightly as he placed his chopsticks down.“What happened?” he asked.Zora exhaled slowly, already grabbing her phone and car keys.“There’s trouble at the clinic,” she replied. “Something happened there and the staff can’t control the situation anymore. I need to go before it gets worse.”The moment she mentioned the clinic, the atmosphere at the table shifted slightly.The father-in-law frowned immediately while the stepmother’s expression became ugly. The clinic had already been unstable recently, losing customers and suffering repeated pressure from competitors. If another incident happened now, things coul

Chapter 26: The Dead PatientBy the time they arrived at the clinic, the entire area outside had already descended into complete chaos.Police vehicles blocked the front entrance while flashing lights painted the street red and blue. A massive crowd had gathered around the building, some standing on cars trying to see better while others whispered loudly among themselves. The noise alone was enough to make anyone’s head hurt. Big reporters had not arrived yet, but judging from how quickly rumors spread in the city, Zora knew it was only a matter of time before media outlets flooded the place and turned everything into a public disaster besides, there were phones recording God, this was a disaster Several police officers were already pulling barricade tape across parts of the entrance while others stopped people from entering the building. Some of the clinic workers stood outside looking terrified, pale and restless as they whispered nervously among themselves.The atmosphere looke

Chapter 27: The Real ProblemThe police officer glanced at Cassian after hearing his request, his expression carrying obvious doubt now. Honestly, anyone would doubt him. The man standing before them didn’t exactly look like a serious doctor. He looked too relaxed, casual and unconcerned about the chaos around him.“Who exactly are you?” the officer finally asked.Before Cassian could answer, Zora stepped forward immediately.“He’s my husband,” she said calmly.Then after a brief pause, she added,“And he’s also a doctor.”The moment those words left her mouth, several people around instinctively looked at Cassian again.Some were surprised, a few skeptical and some outright disbelieving.Even the old clinic staff looked confused because they had never once heard about Miss Zora marrying some mysterious doctor overnight.Meanwhile Cassian just stood there calmly with his hands in his pockets like none of the attention bothered him in the slightest.The officer hesitated briefly befor

Chapter 28: Wake The DeadThe moment Cassian said he knew the real problem, Zora’s expression changed instantly.The heaviness pressing down on her chest since arriving at the clinic loosened slightly as she hurried toward him without even realizing it. Right now she no longer cared how strange he sounded or how suspiciously calm he looked. If there was truly a way out of this disaster, she needed to know immediately.“What do you mean?” she asked quickly. “Did you discover something wrong with the herbs? Was the patient poisoned before coming here? Or did someone tamper with the medicine afterward?”Questions poured out one after another because her mind was already racing through countless possibilities. The clinic was barely hanging on already. If this death case became official, everything would collapse overnight. Their competitors would crush them completely and public trust would vanish instantly.Meanwhile Cassian simply looked at her excited expression and chuckled softly.

Chapter 29: The Corpse TwitchedEveryone frowned after hearing Cassian’s explanation.The atmosphere became strange again because the more he spoke, the more it sounded like he was making things up on the spot with absolute confidence.“A treatment method… involving machetes?” one of the younger doctors repeated blankly.Cassian nodded calmly.“Mhm.”The doctor looked completely unconvinced.Cassian sighed softly like he was surrounded by academically educated disappointments.“There are many unconventional stimulation techniques in traditional medicine,” he explained seriously. “The human body has dormant nerve response points connected to muscular reflex pathways, blood flow acceleration and emergency meridian stimulation. Certain forms of blunt-force vibration can temporarily force circulation reactions through shock activation.”Several doctors blinked hearing that because annoyingly enough parts of what he said actually sounded medically reasonable.Cassian continued calmly whil

Chapter 30: The Corpse Opened Its EyesThe police officers looked at Cassian with increasingly strange expressions after hearing what he wanted them to do. Honestly, the entire situation had already crossed the line from normal investigation into something nobody present could properly explain anymore.The lead officer frowned slightly and asked carefully, “What exactly do you need us to do?”Cassian casually spun the machete once in his hand before resting it lazily against his shoulder like he had done this a thousand times before. “Nothing complicated,” he replied calmly. “I just need your officers to hold the corpse’s hands and legs down properly. It won’t be good if I miss.”Silence engulfed then again and several officers stared at him blankly.“Miss?” one of them repeated weakly.Cassian nodded seriously. “Of course. Precision is important in medicine. One wrong hit and instead of saving someone, I’ll accidentally create a ghost story.”A few people in the crowd nearly choked
