******

The interior of the VVIP ward had erupted into unfiltered pandemonium at this moment.

Machines screamed in protest… electrocardiograms, heart monitors, oxygen alarms, all blaring at once in a chorus of doom, their piercing beeps slicing through the tense air like countdown timers to a tragedy.

Each second dragged like a lifetime as the oxygen levels plunged, dipping lower and lower, announcing their descent with relentless, shrill alarms.

Before long, head Nurses burst into the room like a hurricane, barking orders one after the other, fumbling for emergency equipment, and calling out for backup with frantic voices that cracked from pressure.

And the Wale family? It was a chaos incarnate.

Their shouts and shrieks filled the ward right now.

Phones were whipped out with trembling fingers, dialing anyone who could offer a solution—or at least tried to.

Melissa’s mother was sobbing fearfully at the side as she clutched her husband’s sleeve, while Trent’s wife was muttering

    ******“If you hadn’t slapped that vile ex-wife of mine and given both her and her bat-for-a-mother something to worry about, for the time being, I would have walked away already. And trust me, I wouldn’t have glanced back even if the heavens started bleeding.”Every syllable uttered by Glenn felt nothing more than a scalpel carving through ego and pride.In the next second, Trent jolted visibly, and Melissa flinched as though she was touched by naked high-voltage wires.As for everyone else… they were stunned into silence again.Glenn’s aura… languid yet terrifying, weighed down on the room like invisible chains.And finally, after what felt like a long time, but in reality, just a minute or so, one of the doctors, unable to contain himself again, scoffed. “What arrogance… Who does he think he is?”As though she had been waiting for someone to speak first, Trent’s wife instantly hissed.“Exactly,” she spat, her expression sourer than expired milk. “He’s just a stray mutt with

  • Chapter 028 – What I Loath More Than Anything In This World

    ******A pin-drop silence swept through the ward the moment Melissa’s desperate plea echoed off the sterile walls of the VVIP ward.It was as though the very air had been sucked out of the room.For a heartbeat, the mourning halted, tears froze midstream, and every single person… right from the quiet nurses to the elite doctors and disbelieving family members, turned to stare at her as if she had just sprouted horns and started speaking an alien tongue.Finally, they comprehend what was going on, and in the following second, all eyes widened, and every mouth hung ajar.Then came the murmurs.“Did… did she just… kneel to someone other than her grandfather and parents?”“Wait… Did... did the favorite granddaughter of the Wales family's patriarch actually just beg someone?”“Is she out of her mind? That boy looks like he sells pirated DVDs for a living.”“Didn't she see the top-tier doctors and Deity-level Master Yuan failing and getting rendered helpless? How could she want the

  • Chapter 027 – Melissa’s Desperate Apology

    ******As soon as everyone heard the barely audible whisper that just sounded, they froze in place, a hush silence sweeping through the room like a sudden blackout.Why, because these words… these words brimming with unbearable agony, plea, and desperation, had been uttered from the lips of the unconscious, dying patient.And at that moment, even the beeping and blaring medical machines in the room seemed to pause, their beeping drowned out by the sheer weight of those words.Ultimately, time seemed to return to normal.Master Zhen Yuan staggered backward as though he’d been slapped.His hands, once firm, now trembled like brittle branches in the wind. His eyes locked onto the still figure of the patriarch… his lips barely moving, yet his message unmistakable.‘A plea for release, for… death?’The old man’s face crumpled completely, and he seemed to suffer a heart attack.“In all my years…” he rasped. “…This has never happened before. I’ve never lost one like this before… Whe

  • Chapter 026 – Please Let Me Rest

    ******Realizing what was going on, Trent felt his heart clawing against his chest, because for all his flaws… greed, manipulation, and selfishness, he did love his father… if only because the will wasn’t finalized as it should.“No… no… he can’t die… not like this, not now…” he whispered, a new wave of dread washing over him.With a strangled cry, he spun and grabbed Master Yuan by the sleeves, yanking the old man from his trance. His eyes were wild, desperate. “Please! You’re the best in the East, right? DO something! Please fix this!”The irony was almost poetic.Just hours ago, they were parading the man as a divine healer. Now they begged him to undo the very damage he caused.The rest of the family joined in. Melissa’s parents, Trent’s wife, and even the grandchildren surrounded Master Yuan, their hands clasped, and their faces twisted in desperation.“Please, save him!”“Do anything, just don’t let him die!”“We’ll pay double, no… triple—anything you want!”Master Yua

  • Chapter 024 – And He Warned Us

    ******Time itself seemed to slow down the instant the needle pierced the patient's skin with surgical precision, everyone watching anxiously as the tip vanished beneath flesh.The air in the ward turned impossibly heavy.At the sight before them, every member of the Wales family, including Trent, his pompous wife, their smug children, and even Melissa’s normally stoic parents, unconsciously clutched at their chests.But it was Melissa who stood at the epicenter of this storm of emotion. Her eyes, wide and filled with anxiousness, stayed locked on the old man lying in bed.None of them dared to blink.Even the clocks on the wall seemed to hesitate in ticking forward, as if time itself was holding its breath.But then suddenly, the once lifeless body that lay bloated, bloodless, and eerily pale began, almost imperceptibly at first, to regain color.A subtle shift in hue spread across the old patriarch’s cheeks, a faint rosiness blossoming like dawn after a relentless storm.Th
