His father’s roar was so loud that Marcus had to pull the phone away from his ear, afraid it might damage his eardrums. Staring down at the screen, his hand trembled slightly, and cold sweat broke out along his back. He had never seen his father this furious before — not once in his entire life. In fact, it was the first time his father had ever shouted at him.

But he understood his father’s anger. A lot had been invested to secure this deal. Tears of frustration welled up in his eyes.

He wasn’t foolish! Why would he provoke Liam when their family’s future depended on securing the deal? He had done no such thing. Everything was confusing. One minute, he and Liam were chatting happily, and the next, Liam was canceling the deal, cutting ties with him, and sending him out.

What had he done wrong? He had no idea!

“Dad,” he tried to explain, his voice cracking.

But his father cut him off sharply. "I don't know what you've done. I don't care. But you better find a way to fix thing

    “What?” Robin’s words struck the room like a bolt of lightning. For a moment, it was as if time itself froze. The air grew still—so still that the only sound that could be heard was the quickened breaths of everyone present. Raise someone from the dead? That was madness. No one—no doctor, no scientist—had ever accomplished such a feat. It defied logic, defied everything they knew about life and death. Besides, Robin wasn’t a miracle worker, and he certainly wasn’t a priest, that they'd say he'll perform a miracle, so just how could such a thing be possible? “That’s absurd!” Julian barked, his voice breaking through the heavy silence. “When has anyone ever brought the dead back to life? Do you think you’re some kind of god? Hah! What a joke! You’re nothing but a liar running your mouth!” But then, as if something suddenly clicked in his mind, his words halted. His eyes narrowed sharply, and a sly sneer curved his lips. “Oh, I get it now,” he said darkly. “You’re just saying thi

    The door to Lena's ward swung open and Chester, Robin and the rest walked in.At a corner sat Julian with his legs crossed, his expression nonchalant as if he owned the place. On sighting Robin, a sneer curled his lips. The punk was finally here. But he didn’t bother to stand to greet him—instead, he lounged deeper into his chair. Why would he greet him? The brat was his peer. If anything, he should be the one to greet him. This was the same reason he refused to go down with the others to welcome Robin. He felt such things were beneath him.No one paid him much attention anyway. As soon as they entered, Chester quickly led Robin to the bed. “Please, Mr. Ramsey,” he gestured nervously.“Really clinging to the hope that someone can wake the dead?” Julian remarked snidely, chuckling sarcastically. “I’ve never seen people so delusional.”“Julian, respect yourself!” Clara scowled.“Haha," he chuckled, completely unfazed. “I just can’t wait for your hopes to be crushed.” How sweet it would

    Sheila didn’t protest, sensing the urgency in Robin’s tone. As much as she disliked the idea of him being in the same building with that girl, she knew she couldn’t control his every move, especially when the matter seemed pretty urgent. Besides, it wasn’t as if he seemed to care about Clara that much anyway. With a small nod, she gripped the wheel tighter and swung the car around, heading back toward the hospital.It took a little over an hour before they finally pulled up outside. Sheila had driven as fast as she could, but considering the distance they’d already covered, the return trip naturally took just as long.At the hospital entrance, Clara, Walter, and Chester stood waiting. Chester paced restlessly, checking his watch again and again, unable to stay still for more than a few moments. His anxiety was written all over his face. "Are you sure he’s really coming?" he asked, his voice tight."You’ve asked me that more than twenty times in the last hour, Mr. Chester," Clara repli

    A heavy silence hung in the air as the call started ringing. Julian stared at Clara, stunned she’d actually gone through with it. Was being with him so unbearable that she’d rather pin her hopes on something impossible? He couldn't tell how he felt. But the sudden pain in his chest was unbearable. In Sheila's car, the vehicle was silent as it navigated the streets. Both figures appeared to be deep in their respective thoughts.Just then, the sound of a ringing tone cut through the air, shattering the silence.Robin picked up his phone, frowning at the unknown number. After a brief hesitation, he answered and put it on speaker, too tired to hold the phone to his ear.Just as he did, Clara's voice sounded through the speakers: "Hello, Robin."Sheila's gaze instantly snapped toward the phone, her brows narrowing. Wasn't that the voice of that girl back at the hospital? Why was she calling Robin? Had she not already make it clear Robin was hers?Meanwhile, Robin, hearing the voice, furro

    Chester’s vision burned red at Julian’s words. The gall of this brat! He must have a death wish! A storm of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but before he could lash out, Clara beat him to it... She shot Julian a venomous glare, her voice cold and cutting as she snapped at him, "Shouldn't you be attending to the patients? What are you doing here?" Naturally, Julian would have been furious at her tone, but this time, he felt nothing but bitter satisfaction. He lifted his shoulders in a careless shrug, lips twisting into a smug grin. “I’ve already finished with the patients. Why shouldn’t I be here?” his voice dripped with smugness, one would think he'd won the lottery. But then, it was only his sheer excitement of having the opportunity to undermine Robin, Clara's Knight in shining armor, and getting her so worked up. The feeling was more satisfying than an orgasm could ever be. Clara’s glare only deepened. “Fine, then stay," she hissed, "but keep your mouth shut! Stop st

    "No!" Chester howled, seizing Walter by the collar. "You can't be serious! Miss Harmon is not dead! She can't be dead! You promised you'll heal her; you better heal her!" He was like a madman gone crazy. He shoved Walter toward the bed, forcing him before Lena. “Treat her! If you don’t, I swear I’ll kill you all and burn this place down!”His energy flared, eyes bloodshot, a murderous aura rolling off him.Feeling this terrifying, murderous aura, a chill ran down Walter's and Clara's spines.Clara turned to Walter, who was sweating buckets, her face full of terror. "Dad, what happened? Thought you said it'd work?"Walter bit his lip. “I don’t know! By my diagnosis it should’ve worked. I don’t know what went wrong. I don’t!” His voice cracked on the edge of tears.Clara frowned deeply. This was a huge problem. She turned to Chester, trying to reason with him. "Sir...""Save it!" Chester cut her off coldly. "I'm giving you two five minutes to wake up my miss or I'll paint this place red
