That answer only made the situation worse.The second nurse stepped between Marcus and the gurney. “You need to leave,” she said. “Immediately.”Marcus’s eyes shifted toward the woman lying beneath the white sheet.There was no time.The life force within her was fading quickly. What he had sensed before had already weakened. Every second they spent arguing was another second lost. If the remaining energy disappeared completely, even the system’s healing techniques might not be enough to bring her back.“I need two minutes,” Marcus said again.The first nurse laughed in disbelief.“Two minutes?” she repeated. “You still have the audacity to say that after everything we’ve told you?”“I’m not asking you to believe me.”“Then what are you asking for?”“Permission.”The nurse stared at him.Marcus took one step toward the gurney. The second nurse immediately raised her hand to stop him.“Don’t come any closer.”Marcus stopped, but his gaze remained fixed on the patient.“You have already

At that moment, Jerin, the head nurse, finally lost her patience.“Keep your mouth shut!” she shouted at Marcus. “Shut your mouth immediately!”Her voice echoed through the emergency corridor, drawing the attention of everyone nearby.Marcus’s expression darkened.He had not come there to insult anyone. He had not come there to make a mockery of the grieving family or draw attention to himself. He had only wanted to help. He had seen the faint trace of life still remaining inside the woman’s body, and he knew that she had not completely died.What was he supposed to do?Was he supposed to stand there and watch her die when he knew he could save her? Was he supposed to walk away and allow another family to experience the same pain he had endured when he failed to save his own father?What would he gain by refusing to help?Nothing.He had only chosen to offer them a chance, yet they were treating him as if he were a madman who had no idea what he was saying.Marcus’s eyes grew colder.“

The words struck Marcus like a blow to the chest.“Where is she?” he asked.Doctor Morrison pointed toward the side of the hospital.“You can go and check the trash area behind the hospital. Maybe she is still alive there.”The nurses looked uncomfortable, but Doctor Morrison did not care.“The last time I checked, she was almost dead anyway,” he continued. “Perhaps she is still breathing. Perhaps she is not. Either way, you cannot blame anybody.”Marcus’s eyes became frighteningly cold.Doctor Morrison leaned toward him.“You should blame your foolishness. You should blame your poverty. You should blame your stinking self for failing to provide the money earlier.”Marcus’s fists trembled.“You knew from the beginning that you could not afford her treatment,” Doctor Morrison said. “So what did you think you were doing by bringing her here? Did you think the hospital was a charity? Did you think we were going to treat her for free just because you came here crying and begging?”Marcus

At that moment, Doctor Morrison heard the nurse’s words, and for a second, he simply stared at Marcus.Then he burst into laughter.It was not a laugh of amusement. It was loud, mocking, and filled with contempt, echoing through the emergency corridor and making several people turn in their direction.“Oh, he said he can heal her?” Doctor Morrison asked, pointing at Marcus. “Is that what he said?”The nurse nodded hesitantly.Doctor Morrison laughed even harder.“Wow. I never knew we had a healer in our midst.” He looked Marcus up and down with exaggerated surprise. “I never knew he was a healer. Just look at him.”Marcus remained still, his eyes fixed on Doctor Morrison.The doctor’s smile widened.“So, because you don’t have money, you have decided to become a scammer?” he asked. “Is that what this is? Since you cannot pay for your mother’s treatment, you now want to become a con artist?”His voice grew louder, and every word was carefully chosen to humiliate Marcus.“You want to de

At that moment, Doctor Morrison slowly shook his head, his expression filled with disgust as he looked at Marcus.He could hardly believe what he was witnessing.In his eyes, Marcus had stooped lower than any desperate person he had ever encountered. The young man was not only refusing to accept the patient’s death; he was now attempting to deceive a grieving family and take advantage of their pain. To Doctor Morrison, it was the lowest form of manipulation—a desperate man using another person’s tragedy to cover his own failure.“Well, I’m not surprised,” Doctor Morrison said coldly. “This is what desperate people do when they find themselves in desperate situations. Instead of accepting responsibility for their failures, they look for someone weaker than themselves to exploit.”He glanced at the grieving woman and then back at Marcus.“They create more pain. They make an already terrible situation even worse. They turn grief into suffering and suffering into something unbearable. The

Doctor Morrison shook his head slowly, his expression twisted with disgust, as though the very sight of Marcus standing before him had become something unbearable to look at, something so shameful that it offended not only his professional pride but his understanding of basic human decency.He could not believe it.He genuinely could not believe that a man could sink so low, could allow desperation to consume him so completely, that he would turn to deceiving grieving families simply because he had failed to raise enough money to save his own dying mother.“I am not even surprised,” Doctor Morrison finally said, his voice dripping with contempt. “This is exactly what desperate people do. This is exactly the kind of behavior desperate people fall into when they have lost every ounce of dignity they once had.”He looked around at the nurses, the bystanders, and the grieving woman still trembling beside the gurney, as though inviting them to witness the spectacle with him.“Desperation li

No sign of her, no sound, no movement. He looked around once nothing. He looked around a second time—still nothing. He forced himself to look a third time, his heart pounding violently against his ribs, but there was no trace of his mother anywhere among the discarded boxes, broken equipment, and abandoned medical waste bags piled along the narrow concrete space.“Mom!” he shouted, his voice cracking with desperation. “Mom, where are you?”Silence answered him.“Mom!”Nothing. No response. No sound. Not even an echo carried back to him, only the distant hum of hospital machinery and the faint dripping of water from a broken pipe somewhere nearby.“What the hell is happening here?” he whispered to himself, his voice shaking with fury and fear.His mind spiraled into a storm of rage.That good-for-nothing Morrison, he thought bitterly. That miserable excuse of a doctor is the one responsible for this. If anything has happened to my mother, I swear I will never forgive him. I will crush
Chapter 18
The moment his mother’s eyes fluttered open, her expression twisted into something between disbelief and confusion, as though her mind could not fully comprehend what her eyes were showing her, as though the very act of waking up had become a miracle too impossible for her exhausted body to accept.She had not expected to see Marcus standing above her.She had not expected to be alive at all.For a woman who had spent her final conscious moments believing that death had already claimed her, waking up to the sight of her son’s face hovering anxiously over her felt like stepping into a dream she did not dare trust, a fragile illusion that might shatter the moment she tried to reach for it.“What is happening?” she whispered, her voice hoarse and trembling, barely more than a breath escaping her cracked lips. “What… what is going on?”Her words came out slow and broken, each syllable requiring more strength than her weakened body could easily provide. Her eyelids fluttered as though the s

Without wasting another second, Marcus carefully slid his arms beneath his mother’s frail body and lifted her gently into his embrace, cradling her against his chest as though she were the most precious thing remaining in his entire world. As he held her, a quiet resolve settled deep within him—a resolve built not from anger or desperation, but from unwavering determination.His mother deserved the best.She deserved the best care, the best comfort, the best possible future—and Marcus was no longer a powerless young man forced to watch helplessly as the world crushed the people he loved. He would not offer her anything less than everything he now had the ability to provide.As he carried her carefully through the narrow pathway leading away from the hospital’s waste disposal area, his thoughts drifted toward the memories that had recently surfaced within his mind—fragments of ancestral knowledge, glimpses of forgotten lineage, echoes of power passed down through generations long before
Chapter 20
As the vehicle came to a complete stop, two uniformed security guards emerged from a small booth positioned beside the entrance, their expressions immediately shifting into suspicion the moment they noticed the state of the passenger stepping out of the taxi—torn clothing, dried blood staining his skin, and a frail, unconscious woman cradled protectively in his arms.“Taxis are not allowed beyond this point,” one of the guards said sharply, stepping forward with his hand raised firmly toward the vehicle. “This is a restricted passcode zone. Where exactly do you think you are going?”The taxi driver, still seated behind the wheel, glanced nervously between the guards and Marcus, clearly uncomfortable with the sudden tension building around them. He understood, better than most, that this particular estate had long been reserved exclusively for the elite—those with wealth, power, or bloodlines significant enough to warrant residence within its guarded walls. It was widely known throughou
