At that moment in time, without wasting another second, the director's mind began racing, his thoughts spinning rapidly as he realized something crucial, something that could potentially shift the entire situation in his favor.This was an opportunity for him, he thought, his chest tightening with a mixture of hope and desperation. Yes, this was actually an opportunity for him to get something out of this mess, to actually get what he wanted, to regain some of the ground he had lost.At least, it would not be bad if he actually impressed the owner at this point in time, the director reasoned internally, his jaw tightening as he formulated his next move. If I can step in, if I can prove my value, if I can remind the owner of my skills and my position, then maybe, just maybe, I can turn this around.So immediately, without hesitation, the director leaned forward slightly in his seat, his voice cutting into the conversation, his tone bright and eager, filled with forced enthusiasm and co

Upon hearing what the owner had just said, upon hearing the desperation and urgency in the owner's voice, the raw emotion that came through the phone so clearly, fell silent for a few seconds, his expression calm and thoughtful, his mind working quietly as he considered the weight of what had just been offered to him.He still held the phone in his hand, his grip steady and relaxed, his eyes fixed on nothing in particular as he processed the situation, turning it over in his mind with careful deliberation.And then, after what felt like a long, heavy silence, Kai spoke, his voice calm and measured, his tone unbothered but firm."Well," Kai said simply, his words deliberate and clear, "I will think about it."Immediately, upon hearing Kai's response, the owner on the other end of the line nodded his head eagerly, his voice coming through the phone quickly, filled with a mixture of relief and lingering urgency."No problem then," the owner said quickly, his tone earnest and sincere. "No

At that moment, upon hearing what Dr. Marcus had just said, upon hearing that simple question asking why he was so moody, the director's entire body tensed even further, his jaw clenching so tightly it felt like his teeth might crack, and then he suddenly exploded, his voice rising sharply with barely contained fury and frustration."Are you joking with me right now?" the director snapped, his voice sharp and cutting, his tone dripping with bitterness and anger. "Do you have any idea what happened today? Do you have any idea of the humiliation, the embarrassment that befell me today? There's no other way to sum that up. None."The director's voice grew louder, more heated, his words coming faster now, his entire body trembling slightly with the intensity of his emotions."The chairman literally refused to speak to me after he had been healed," the director continued, his tone filled with bitter resentment and wounded pride. "He refused to speak to me. He refused to say anything to me,

At that moment in time, upon hearing what Dr. Marcus had just said, upon hearing the cold, calculated plan laid out so clearly and deliberately, the director nodded his head slowly, his expression thoughtful and contemplative, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of approval and dark satisfaction.He was actually liking this idea, genuinely liking it, buying into it completely, his mind already racing ahead, already imagining the possibilities, already seeing how this could work, how this could destroy Kai once and for all.But even as the director nodded, even as he felt that surge of dark satisfaction, one thing was weighing heavily on his mind, one thing that was so clear and obvious and impossible to ignore—the risk, the danger, the potential for catastrophic failure.Because if this plan failed, if things went wrong, if they were exposed, then the consequences would be devastating, absolutely devastating, perhaps even irreversible.The director's jaw tightened slightly, his expressio

At that moment in time, without wasting another second, without any hesitation or delay, the nurse bowed her head respectfully, her expression still tight with urgency and concern, and then she quickly turned on her heel and walked away briskly, her footsteps echoing down the corridor as she headed directly toward the department where Kai was currently working.And then she was gone, disappearing around the corner, leaving the room in a heavy, tense silence.Immediately, as soon as the nurse had left, as soon as they were alone with the dying patient and his worried family members standing just outside in the hallway, Dr. Marcus turned his head slowly and looked directly at the director, his eyes gleaming with dark satisfaction and cold calculation."Well," Marcus said slowly, his voice low and filled with quiet triumph, "it seems everything is going in our favor. Everything is falling into place perfectly."Marcus paused for a moment, his lips curling into a cold, bitter smile."Yes,
