LEONARD'S POV

My fists clenched so tightly that my knuckles had turned completely white. They intended to turn every person I cared about into a weapon against me. My jaw tightened.

"They're even more dangerous than I thought," I muttered silently.

Inside the room, the woman gave one final glance toward the old man before she bent over and began packing the syringes, medical instruments, and several small metal cases they had brought with them.

Around her, the other agents also started gatheri

    I remained silent.I could already see frustration beginning to build inside him.He had expected something, a movement or even a slight change in the girl's condition that could give him a clue.But there was nothing, the girl remained completely unresponsive.Dr. Smith tried another examination.He gently pressed against one of her fingertips and watched her face. Nothing happened.He examined her breathing again. There was nothing unusual.He looked toward the monitor but still nothing.His breathing gradually became heavier.He stepped backward and rubbed his chin as he stared at the girl.Mr. and Mrs. Kingston watched him anxiously.Mr. Kingston eventually could not hold back his concern."Doctor, is everything okay?" he asked.Dr. Smith immediately turned toward him."Yes," he answered.The answer came so quickly that it was obvious he had not even taken a moment to think about it.Mr. Kingston did not look convinced.He studied the doctor's face for several seconds before slowl

  • CHAPTER 230

    LEONARD'S POVDr. Smith stopped beside the girl's bed and slowly turned around, allowing his eyes to move across everyone in the room. He seemed determined to recover the authority he believed he had lost. His expression hardened as he raised one hand slightly."I want everyone to stop questioning my medical ability," he said firmly. His voice was controlled, but the irritation underneath it was obvious. "I am an experienced doctor. I have spent many years treating difficult medical cases, and I did not become a doctor yesterday."His eyes moved from Mr. Kingston to Mrs. Kingston before finally settling on me. He stared at me for several seconds, as though he wanted to make sure I understood that his words were directed at me as much as they were at everyone else."Medicine is not something that can always be rushed," he continued, his fingers tightening slightly as he lowered his hand. "Sometimes a doctor needs time to examine a patient properly, understand the condition, study the a

  • CHAPTER 229

    LEONARD'S POVI remained where I was, with my arms folded across my chest, quietly listening to Dr. Smith and his wife as they stood near the corner of the hospital room. She stared at him for several seconds before finally speaking again. Her expression was tense, and although she was trying to remain calm, the worry in her eyes was impossible to hide."What are you going to do now?" she asked quietly.Dr. Smith looked at her with irritation."What do you mean, what am I going to do?" he asked, his voice barely audible but clearly annoyed.His wife folded her arms and leaned slightly closer to him."I mean exactly what I am asking. What are you going to do now? You have been searching for answers for quite some time, and you still haven't found anything."Dr. Smith's face darkened."I told you that I will handle it."She shook her head slowly."But how?"Dr. Smith stared at her.His wife took a breath before continuing."You were the one who demanded fifty percent of High-Tech Powe

  • CHAPTER 228

    LEONARD'S POVDr Smith and his wife remained standing as they continued discussing.His wife had begun searching for possible solutions, she was still holding her phone when she finally spoke again. She kept her voice low as she turned slightly away from the rest of the room, and the nervous expression on her face showed that she was becoming increasingly worried."I have searched through several results," she whispered, "but I cannot find anything that tells us exactly how to bring someone who has been in a coma for five years back to consciousness."Dr. Smith immediately turned toward her. His eyebrows came together, and the confidence that had previously been visible on his face was replaced by irritation."What do you mean you cannot find anything?" he asked in a restrained voice.His wife looked at him carefully before answering. She seemed to realize that her words were not what he wanted to hear."I mean exactly what I said," she replied quietly. "There is no simple answer."S

  • CHAPTER 227

    LEONARD'S POVI did not respond to any of the words the doctor or his wife had thrown at me.There was no point arguing with them in the hospital parking lot, especially when Mr. and Mrs. Kingston were already carrying enough emotional pain. They had spent five years watching their daughter remain unconscious, and the last thing I wanted was for their desperation to become the center of another pointless argument.I simply looked at Mr. Kingston."Please," I said calmly, "take us to your daughter's ward."Mr. Kingston stared at me for a moment before slowly sighing. I could see how exhausted he was. His shoulders were slightly lowered, and there was a permanent sadness in his eyes that made it obvious that this situation had taken a serious toll on him and his wife."Yes," he finally said. "Please, follow me."He turned around and started walking toward the hospital entrance.His wife immediately followed him, while Dr. Smith and his wife walked behind them. I followed quietly, keep

  • CHAPTER 226

    LEONARD'S POVI looked at Ava, however, I knew exactly what I was doing.I slowly shook my head and let out a small scoff."Ava, you don't have to worry about me," I said calmly. "I am not going to lose anything."Ava looked at me with disbelief."Boss, you just agreed to give this man fifty percent of High-Tech Power if he succeeds," she reminded me. "How can you say you will not lose anything?"I smiled slightly before saying."Because if anyone is going to lose something today, it will be him."The doctor heard what I said and immediately turned his attention toward me.He gave a short laugh."Still confident, I see," he said.I looked at him."I am not confident because I want to impress you," I replied. "I am confident because I know what I am capable of."The doctor folded his arms across his chest and smiled."Then perhaps we should make the bet even more interesting."I raised an eyebrow and asked"What do you mean?"The doctor opened his mouth, but I spoke before he could con
