Chapter 40: Unmasking the Fraud
The heavy double doors of the VIP suite clicked firmly shut behind Liam, leaving the three young heiresses standing in the spacious, quiet room. The rhythmic, steady beeping of the bedside monitors filled the silence, confirming that Chairman Marcus Umber was resting peacefully after the harrowing ordeal. Chloe kept her eyes fixed on the empty doorway, her heart aching with a mixture of confusion and possessive longing. For seven whole years, Liam had been the quiet, gentle presence waiting at home with warm soup and a soothing smile. She had grown so accustomed to viewing him as her dedicated protector in the shadows that hearing other high-society women speak of him as a heroic, miraculous doctor felt like discovering a completely different stranger. "Cynthia, you still haven't answered me," Chloe pressed softly, turning around with an anxious, questioning gaze. "How did you and Liam really cross paths? You said he saved your grandfather, but Liam has spent years working at an
Chapter 39: Possessiveness
Watching the lively, wealthy heiress look at Liam with admiration and eagerness, Chloe suddenly felt choked by her jealousy. Her husband, the man she loved so deeply and refused to let go of, was suddenly being praised and invited out by one of the most prominent young ladies in the city. Chloe couldn't bear the thought of any distance growing between them, especially when their marriage was already hanging by a thread. Without thinking twice, Chloe quietly stepped forward, and with affectionate familiarity, she slid her arm around Liam’s elbow. Pressing her soft curves against his side, she lifted her chin, looking at Cynthia with a soft smile. "Cynthia, it seems like I haven't introduced him properly yet. This is my husband, Liam." The moment she wrapped herself around him called him her husband, Liam felt a rush of awkwardness. They were in the middle of an ongoing divorce, and he was sleep-deprived and barely in his senses because of her betrayal. And yet,
Chapter 38: A Tangled Encounter
Chloe's shrill, accusing voice hung in the air, vibrating against the opulent walls of the VIP suite. Her chest heaved with suppressed distress, her delicate, porcelain face flushed with humiliation and anxiety. She had rushed over as a caring friend to check on Chairman Umber, yet finding Liam standing in the center of the room made her possessive, insecure heart flare with sudden panic. She was terrified that Liam would expose their broken marriage and the painful paternity drama to her closest circle.Liam looked at Chloe, his bloodshot eyes heavy with weariness. After everything that had happened—the unyielding test results, the slap from her father, the threats from her lawyer—her immediate assumption that he had come here to slander her only deepened the hollow ache inside his chest."I am not here to spread anything, Chloe," Liam said, his voice dropping into a flat, raspy, and thoroughly exhausted tone. "I work in this hospital. I was summoned to this wa
Chapter 37: The Bitter Swallow
"Stop him!" Serena’s icy, furious command boomed through the air. Before Joey could even touch the brass door handle, two towering Umber family personal bodyguards in dark suits stepped forward like iron walls, grabbing Joey by the collar and slamming him roughly back into the center of the room, forcing him to his knees! "Let me go! Miss Umber, please! I was only joking! It was just a casual remark!" Joey shrieked hysterically, tears of pure terror and humiliation streaming down his pale cheeks as he crawled toward Liam. "Liam, we were classmates! We graduated from the same university! Please, have mercy on me! I can't eat those things, they're poisonous! I beg you, let me off the hook!" Liam looked down at the sniveling coward at his feet, his gaze hard as flint. "A bet is a bet, Dr. Harrison. When you were eager to ruin my life and take away my license, you showed zero mercy. Why should I show any to you?" Serena’s e
Chapter 36: The Bet
The tension in the VIP suite was stretched so tight it felt ready to snap. Joey Harrison stood back with his arms crossed, a cocky grin plastered across his face as he waited for Liam to make a fool of himself.Liam ignored the shocked stares around him completely. His hands were steady, his clinical gaze sharpened to absolute focus. Lifting the silver forceps, he picked up the first primed medicinal leech from the basin of heparinized solution and positioned it directly over the swollen, purple hematoma at Chairman Umber’s temple.One by one, Liam placed all ten active leeches across the critical drainage pathways and congested vascular points along the elder's temples and the base of his skull. The moment the specialized organisms latched on, their natural bio-active enzymes began working, rapidly breaking down the micro-thrombi and drawing out the sluggish, poisoned blood trapped beneath the scalp.Liam did not simply stand back and watch. He steppe
Chapter 35: Leech!
"Yes, Miss Umber! Right away!" Wendy gasped in terror, sprinting out of the VIP suite as fast as her high heels could carry her.While waiting for the supplies, Liam swiftly pulled out a set of clamp forceps from the emergency tray. With precision, he clamped the arteries along the temples and closed the drainage channels with steady hands, stopping the bleeding before the old man lost another drop of blood.Less than two minutes later, Wendy dashed back into the room, gasping for breath. She slammed a sterile metal basin filled with dark red blood onto the bedside cart, alongside a clear plastic container holding ten dark, writhing medicinal leeches, and several heavy restraint bands.Liam was absolutely calm as he used the restraint bands to lock Chairman Umber's head and neck in place.Then, taking sterile medical tweezers, he lifted the ten wriggling leeches and submerged them into the basin of blood.The blood was mixed
