CHAPTER 19- Moments from Death
Inside the VIP ward, the tension was suffocating.Monitors beeped erratically. The old man’s breath was ragged, his lips now a frightening shade of gray. Frost had spread to his fingertips and earlobes, the signs of full-body petrification setting in."Ohh God!" Gerald exclaimed as he paced like a madman near the foot of the bed, running a trembling hand through his graying hair. Every few seconds, his eyes darted toward the doorway.He regretted the way he treated Adrian and really hoped they find him.His gaze then fell on Dr. Sylvester and his eyes darkened with rage.He had once admired the doctor but now he felt like strangling him.His voice thundered in the room. “Damn it!!”He whirled on Dr. Sylvester, his face twisted in fury. “I made a huge mistake by trusting you!""You said he’d be fine! You swore this was nothing more than cold toxin!”Aldric Sylvester stood rooted near the bed, his legendary poise cracked.Sweat clung to his forehead. His lips moved, but no sound
CHAPTER 18- For Your Sake
Meanwhile, Adrian stood alone in the hospital restroom, mocked and cast aside for trying to save a life.He splashed cold water on his face, the droplets clinging to his lashes. Just then, his phone vibrated on the sink.His reflection stared back at him in the mirror.If they said they don't need his help, then so be it.Riiing—His phone vibrated against the sink counter.He pulled it out.Adrian’s brow twitched as he answered.A calm, polished female voice answered. “Good morning, Mr. Lancaster. This is Julia Lin, Vice President of Rhein Group.”Adrian’s eyes narrowed faintly. His grip on the phone relaxed, but his expression remained unreadable.“Julia,” he said simply.“I wanted to formally welcome you, sir,” she said respectfully. “The news of your appointment was just made known to the board this morning. There are a few urgent matters awaiting your review… If possible, when would you be able to visit the head office?”Adrian’s lips curved into a faint, sardonic smirk.The same
CHAPTER 17- Fall of the Legend
CHAPTER 17Adrian suddenly spoke up—for Sophia’s sake.The diagnosis was wrong. No treatment based on it could possibly work.Aldric Sylvester’s hand froze mid-air, his expression darkening.But before he could speak, the others erupted.“You bum! Who do you think you are to question Dr Sylvester’s medical skills?!” Malvin snapped mockingly.“Exactly! Just a brat with no manners—how dare he run his mouth like that?!” Others chimed in, obviously enraged.They all stared daggers at Adrian.That was Dr. Aldric Sylvester—one of the three Legendary Healers. A revered figure in the global medical world. And here was this nobody—this scruffy, arrogant bum—daring to challenge him?“Looking for trouble, huh?!” Gerald’s face twisted with rage. “If my father’s treatment is delayed because of you, I’ll have you torn limb from limb and fed to the dogs! Guards! Get him out of here—now!”The moment he gave the order, two armored guards strode into the room, their presence imposing.Sophia’s fac
CHAPTER 16- Truth vs Reputation
“Fine. But be aware, if anything happens to my father—don’t expect to leave here alive,” Gerald warned darkly.“I know what I’m doing.” Adrian replied calmly.Then, with help from the medical staff, Adrian undressed the old man and turned him over, to expose his back for treatment.“Stop!”However, just then, a sudden shout rang out from the door.A well-groomed young man in his late twenties strode in, casting a scornful glance at Adrian.“Mr. Aldridge, you can’t let this nobody gamble with Grandpa Aldridge’s life!”“Malvin, I appreciate your concern,” Gerald said with a sigh. “But we have no better option right now. We have to let him try.”“Who says we don’t have a better option?” Malvin Darkthorn said with a proud smile. “Look who I brought.”He gestured toward the doorway.Everyone turned to look.An imposing elderly man in a flowing white robe walk in with calm authority.“Legendary Healer—Aldric Sylvester?!”Gasps erupted around the room.The on-call VIP doctors and nurses re
CHAPTER 15- Healer's Condition
Adrian remained silent for a moment, as he thought deeply.The power inside him — gifted by Terra’s Will — was a miracle. Although he had no idea of Sophia’s grandfather condition, for some reason, he believed he could save him.And maybe… this was the start of proving to himself what he was now capable of.He flashed a crooked grin.“Sure, I’ll help,” he said casually.Sophia blinked, surprised at how quickly he agreed."But…" he paused dramatically. "I expect something in return.”Sophia’s eyes narrowed suspiciously. “What?”And instinctively, she shrank back in alert caution.Adrian’s smirk widened. “Oh, I don’t know…""Maybe another night in bed with you?”Sophia’s face flushed with anger and embarrassment. “You—! You are so annoying! Do you ever take anything seriously?”He chuckled playfully, watching as she boiled in anger.Seeing Adrian's smug grin, Sophia realised that she was being teased.Her cheeks puffed up in anger, but a flicker of relief still flashed in her eyes.
CHAPTER 14- Slapped Back to Reality
Isabelle reeled from the force of Sophia’s slap, she clutched her burning cheeks as she turned toward Lucian, expecting him to lash out at Sophia, to defend her.But instead of the support she was looking for, she was met with cold fury.Lucian’s face twisted in barely contained rage. He glared at her and before she could even speak.SLAP!The impact was just as loud, just as shocking. Isabelle gasped, stumbling backward, clutching her face in utter disbelif as she stumbled back a second time. Tears welling up in her eyes.“L-Luce...? Why ... are you hitting me?”“Why?! You idiot!” Lucian hissed, his voice a venomous whisper. “Do you know who you just insulted?”Nobody in their right sense would dare to speak to Sophia in such manner.He was doing his best to be on Sophia's good side and this foolish woman wanted to ruin things for him.Lucian panicked, this woman was about to put him in serious trouble. “That’s Sophia Aldridge! Heiress to the Aldridge family! One of the most p
