Chapter 152
Hearing Marcus finally agree to accept the gifts, Mr. Zachariah and Madame Penelope could hardly hide their happiness, especially after spending so much time trying to convince him that their offer was nothing more than a small way of showing their appreciation for saving Emily's life.The old couple exchanged relieved looks before quickly lowering their heads in a deep ninety-degree bow, showing Marcus the kind of respect they would never have imagined giving to someone so young under ordinary circumstances."Thank you so much, Marcus. Thank you for accepting our little gift," Mr. Zachariah said, his voice filled with relief as he continued holding the golden box. "You have no idea how happy you've made us by accepting this. We are truly grateful, and I want you to understand that it is a great honor for our family to give you something, no matter how small it might seem compared to what you have done for us."Madame Penelope nodded several times, looking as though a heavy burden had

Her expression became more serious."You gave me another chance to live, Marcus. Do you know what that means to me? I could have died today, and my family would have lost me forever. But because of you, I'm standing here talking to them again."Madame Penelope felt emotional hearing her granddaughter speak.Emily continued, "I know these gifts cannot repay you for what you did, but please allow my family to show our appreciation. If you keep refusing, my grandparents will continue feeling as though they haven't done enough to thank you."She looked at the golden box before turning back to Marcus."Please, just accept it so that everyone can finally feel at ease. I'm begging you."Mr. Zachariah quickly nodded."She's right, Marcus. Please, don't make this old man continue begging. You have already done more than enough for my family."Madame Penelope also nodded in agreement.Meanwhile, Vincent was becoming increasingly furious.He had been silently praying that Marcus would continue r

For a few moments, Marcus remained silent as he looked at the golden box in Mr. Zachariah's hands. He had already made it clear that he wasn't interested in receiving anything from the family, but the old man seemed determined to make him accept the expensive gifts.Mr. Zachariah was beginning to feel uncomfortable because he couldn't tell what Marcus was thinking. He had offered him something worth more than five hundred million dollars, along with a golden card that even some of the wealthiest people in the country could only dream of owning. Yet Marcus was standing there without showing the slightest interest.It wasn't that Mr. Zachariah expected Marcus to be impressed by the gifts. He knew very well that someone of Marcus's standing might already have things far more valuable than what he was offering. However, he desperately wanted Marcus to accept something from his family, especially after everything that had happened.Seeing that her husband was having no success, Madame Pene

He paused briefly before continuing."I have arranged for it to be delivered to you. It is worth more than five hundred million dollars, and I would like you to have it as a token of appreciation from me."The moment those words left his mouth, the atmosphere changed.Doctor Kai, who had been standing quietly nearby, suddenly widened his eyes.His jaw dropped.For a moment, he wondered whether he had heard correctly.Five hundred million dollars?A car?He looked at the key in Mr. Zachariah's hand, then at Marcus. He could hardly believe what was happening.Even for someone like Doctor Kai, who had spent years moving among wealthy and influential people, a gift of that magnitude was not something he saw every day.A car worth more than five hundred million dollars was not an ordinary luxury vehicle. It was the kind of possession that could make even the wealthiest collectors pay attention.And Mr. Zachariah was giving it away as a simple token of appreciation.But that was not all.Mr

Marcus looked at Emily for a moment before giving her a calm smile."Well, you don't have to make anything up to me," he said gently. "You don't owe me anything. The fact that you are alive, healthy, and able to live your life again is already enough. That's the best reward anyone like me could ask for."Emily looked at him quietly.Marcus continued, "You should focus on getting better and enjoying your life. You have been given another chance, so make the most of it. Travel, laugh, spend time with the people you love, and do all the things you want to do. Don't spend your time worrying about how to repay me."He paused briefly before adding, "As a doctor and a healer, there's nothing more satisfying than seeing someone you treated recover completely. Knowing that my treatment worked and that you are standing here looking healthy is already a wonderful gift to me. That's what matters most."His words were simple, but they carried a sincerity that made Emily feel even more grateful.Sh

He looked at her face, then at her hands, almost as though he needed to confirm with his own eyes that she was truly all right."Are you really okay? Can you stand properly? Are you feeling better?"Emily nodded."Yes, Grandpa. I'm feeling much better."Mr. Zachariah let out a deep breath.For the first time since receiving the news of her condition, he felt he could finally relax.He had been terrified when Madame Penelope called him earlier and told him that Emily was close to losing her life. He had abandoned an important meeting and rushed home without thinking twice.And now, seeing her walking and speaking normally, he could hardly contain his happiness.Thank goodness.Thank God she was alive and well.He looked at Madame Penelope, then back at Emily.It was now clear that everything his wife had told him over the phone was true. Marcus had truly saved the girl.Mr. Zachariah glanced in Marcus's direction, and the gratitude in his eyes became even deeper.He knew he owed that y
