Adrian drove the black Maybach through the streets of Eastcliff, his hands resting steadily on the steering wheel. The luxurious vehicle moved smoothly along the road, but the atmosphere inside was anything but peaceful.Helen sat beside Evelyn in the back seat, speaking continuously about Damien Whitmore and the business opportunities he represented. She praised his abilities, his family, and his wealth, repeatedly encouraging Evelyn to contact him more often.“Evelyn, you really should maintain a good relationship with Young Master Whitmore. Our family's business needs connections like his. If you two can work together, things will definitely improve.”Evelyn didn't respond. She sat with her brows knitted tightly, staring out of the window with a troubled expression.Adrian occasionally glanced at her through the rearview mirror. Her silence made his heart ache. He couldn't help wondering whether she was angry because she had been forced to return home with him instead of leaving wi

Adrian walked toward the bed and stopped beside the unconscious woman. Even in her current condition, she was strikingly beautiful. Her features were delicate, and there was a quiet elegance about her that reminded him of Evelyn. Yet the resemblance ended there. Months of illness had reduced her once-healthy body to little more than skin and bones.Adrian's expression became solemn. He had seen patients close to death before, but this case was different. Her body was clearly fighting to survive, yet something was preventing that remaining vitality from circulating properly.He slowly activated his Diagnostic Vision.The world before his eyes changed instantly.The woman's organs, blood vessels, nerves, and meridian pathways became visible to him. Faint streams of energy moved through her body, but several of them were severely restricted. Adrian narrowed his eyes as he followed the obstruction.It wasn't a normal consequence of the accident.Something had been deliberately introduced

Victor Blackwell remained frozen beside his daughter's bed, staring at Brittany as though he was afraid that blinking would make the miracle disappear. After more than a year of helplessness, hearing her call him “Dad” had shattered the walls he had built around his emotions. The feared First King of Eastcliff, a man whose name alone could silence entire rooms, now had tears streaming freely down his face.Elias stood nearby with his mouth slightly open, still struggling to process everything he had witnessed. He had spent decades studying medicine, yet Adrian had accomplished in minutes what the most renowned physicians in Eastcliff had failed to accomplish for more than a year. Even more shocking was the fact that Adrian had uncovered the hidden needle and diagnosed Brittany's condition without relying on conventional examinations.Adrian quietly stepped away from the treatment bed, giving father and daughter some privacy. His attention was no longer on Victor's wealth or reputation

Adrian sat beside Lily as the vehicle left Frost District behind. Her belongings had been packed into another car, while Elias remained in the front seat, occasionally glancing toward Adrian through the rearview mirror. For the first time in years, Adrian was leaving the miserable neighborhood without wondering whether he could afford the next month's rent.Lily was resting peacefully against the comfortable seat, her breathing steady after everything she had endured. Adrian carefully adjusted the blanket around her before looking out of the window. The scenery gradually changed from old buildings and narrow streets to broad roads lined with manicured trees and expensive establishments.“Where exactly are we going?” Adrian finally asked.“Crownmere Heights,” Elias replied casually.Adrian raised his eyebrows. He had heard the name before, although he had never imagined he would have any reason to visit the place. Crownmere Heights was considered one of the most exclusive residential c

After Evelyn disappeared down the street, Adrian remained standing at the doorway for several seconds. Richard and Margaret continued arguing behind him, but their voices gradually became meaningless noise. His thoughts were still fixed on Evelyn's expression when she had refused to divorce him. There had been determination in her eyes, but also something else he couldn't understand.Before he could make sense of it, Margaret's voice snapped him back to reality. "What are you standing there for? Do you think dinner is going to prepare itself?"Adrian slowly turned around."Go to the kitchen and make something for everyone. We've had enough trouble today without you adding to it."His jaw tightened. Only a few days ago, he had been a powerless man desperately struggling to save Lily's life. Now he possessed the Divine Physician System, the knowledge inherited from Sage Physician Cassian Hale, Diagnostic Vision, Divine Acupuncture, and even connections to people as powerful as Victor Bl
