From Prison to Greatness

Chapter 03

Caleb looked at him coldly and asked, “And are you going to take responsibility if something bad happens to the old man?!”

The muscular man snapped back, “That should be my question, Dammit! You—”

Amber cut in, “Enough, Logan! I trust him!”

The man, Logan, looked at Amber again, clearly questioning her decision. “Are you sure, Miss Amber? What if—”

Before he could finish, Amber said, “This is already the fifth time my grandfather has been hospitalized, but his condition never really gets better. The doctors are practically giving up, saying he doesn’t have much time left. But this man says he can heal my grandfather, so it’s worth a shot. I’m not going to ignore even the tiniest bit of hope.”

Logan sighed helplessly and turned to Caleb. “If Old Master Julius’ condition gets worse after your treatment, don’t blame me if I end up killing you.”

Caleb responded as he walked toward the old man, “Do whatever you want.”

At that moment, Caleb placed his fingers on Old Master Julius’ right wrist. Realizing how critical his condition was, Caleb transferred a bit of his inner energy to relieve the symptoms.

Of course, it was only temporary. For actual healing, he needed several herbs processed a specific way, followed by acupuncture.

But since he didn’t have the necessary herbs, this was all he could do for now.

Ten seconds later, Old Master Julius’ condition started to improve. His pale skin began regaining color, and he could even manage to say a word or two.

Seeing this sudden change, Amber lit up with joy. Just ten seconds after Caleb touched her grandfather, and he was already improving this much?

There was no doubt—this man had to be a genius doctor!

All the doctors had given up on her grandfather, saying he didn’t have much time left. But Caleb gave her new hope.

She couldn’t help but say, “Thank you, Doctor. You’ve given my grandfather a chance to live.”

Amber then handed him her business card and added, “Please take this, Doctor. If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to call me. I’ll do whatever it takes to help you. My family has quite a bit of influence in Fluxville. Oh—and could I have your number too? If something happens to my grandfather that the doctors can’t handle, I’ll know who to call.”

Seeing how respectfully Amber was treating Caleb made Logan irritated. He cut in, “You don’t have to treat him like that, Miss Amber. He probably just got lucky.”

Amber shot back, annoyed, “Watch your mouth, Logan! The Doctor just treated my grandfather! Show some respect!”

Even though Logan didn’t agree, he still gave a reluctant nod. He couldn’t argue with Amber.

Since she mentioned her family had influence in Fluxville, Caleb had no reason to refuse.

The guy who had been messing around with Ava was the son of a powerful tycoon, so it was obvious Caleb would need some strong allies to face him.

So, he accepted Amber’s business card and gave her his number.

“If you ever need my help, just call. I’ll come right away,” Caleb said with a warm smile.

Amber was happy to have left a good impression on the genius doctor. She sincerely thanked him once more before heading off to the hospital.

After that, Caleb made his way back toward the cemetery.

At the hospital, Old Master Julius was placed in a VIP room and began receiving care. When one of the doctors checked on him, he was shocked to see how much the old man’s condition had improved.

The doctor couldn’t help but ask Amber, “Didn’t you call earlier and say Old Master Julius’ condition was getting worse? But now that I’ve checked him, he seems to be doing much better. What happened?”

Amber explained her meeting with Caleb.

The doctor—one of the best in Fluxville—frowned, clearly skeptical.

He managed to improve the old man’s condition in just ten seconds? And only by touching his wrist?

He’d never heard of such a treatment method.

So, he said, “I’m pretty sure he just got lucky, Miss Amber. There’s no way he actually cured Old Master Julius. It’s probably just the effect of the medicine I’ve been prescribing him regularly. Anyway, let me examine Old Master Julius more thoroughly and adjust the dosage. Since his condition has improved, I think there’s still hope for a recovery.”

Amber nodded in understanding. But… was it really just luck?

The doctor’s explanation made Logan smirk and say, “Told you. He just got lucky, Miss Amber. No way someone who looks that shabby is a real doctor. It’s obvious he just got lucky.”

Amber didn’t respond—her face showed a mix of emotions. Was it a mistake to give him her card? What if he used it for something bad?

Naturally, Amber started to regret it. She shouldn't have trusted someone so easily.

But then, fifteen minutes later, Old Master Julius suddenly began convulsing violently, throwing the entire hospital into a panic.
