******

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 032 – Did… He Just slapped the Patient?

    ******“DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM!”The voice ripped through the air like a bolt of lightning.Everyone froze. The entire room paused, the sound of beeping monitors and mechanical ventilators the only reminder that time hadn’t stopped.Then slowly, all heads whipped around.It was Melissa.Standing tall, her face pale with suppressed emotion, her fists clenched by her sides, her eyes fierce and defiant. Her voice still echoed in the ward like an aftershock, trembling with suppressed rage and... something else.“You… You’re still defending this lunatic?” Trent stammered after a moment, his eyes bulging in disbelief.Melissa inhaled deeply, forcing air into her lungs as though steadying herself on a battlefield. She hadn’t wanted to choose sides. She hadn’t. But seeing Glenn about to be manhandled… it twisted something inside her.He wasn’t just any stranger. He was the last thread of hope tied to her grandfather’s survival.Thinking this, her jaw clenched as she turned to the

  • Chapter 031 – DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM!!!

    ******While everyone was busy hurling different insults and abusive words at Glenn, Melissa and her parents stood awkwardly to the side, caught in the web of uncertainty.The earlier warning Glenn had given Master Yuan had proven shockingly accurate, but… but what if it was a coincidence? What if he was just lucky? Or did he actually know what he was doing?They had no idea.And Master Yuan... despite having already proven to be of no help in treating their family leader’s condition, he was still someone they couldn’t afford to offend. So, although they wanted to stand up for Glenn, they only watched in silence, their eyes filled with conflict. And so, the storm roared on.“Apologize immediately to Master Yuan now!” one doctor snapped.“Retract your words before you cause more damage!”“Beg for forgiveness before security has to carry you out!”But Glenn didn’t even flinch. He simply continued standing like a man watching a poorly written play… more bored than threatened.

  • Chapter 030 – The Ward’s Rage

    ******The VVIP ward was already tight with tension before now, the kind that clung to the walls and prickled down every spine. But the very moment Glenn’s voice rolled through the ward, smooth and sharp like a velvet-wrapped scalpel, time seemed to halt.“You remember earlier, when you refused to believe me?” Glenn had said, his voice so effortlessly composed it nearly sounded bored. “When I told you I’m versed enough to teach you? Well, keep your eyes open. I don’t like repeating lessons.”The effect was immediate and electrifying.His tone wasn’t raised. It wasn’t angry. It wasn’t even smug. But it had all the arrogance of a king explaining gravity to a peasant… and doing it over breakfast, with one eye still on his toast.A beat of silence followed.Even Master Zhen Yuan… an icon, a paragon of medical mastery, a man whose presence made full-grown surgeons stammer, froze mid-breath. His fingers, which had been calmly folded behind his back, twitched. His pride flared like a m

  • Chapter 029 – Keep Your Eyes Open… I don’t Like To Repeat Lessons

    ******“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
