CHAPTER 590
After Adrian and Clara had left, Victoria turned to Darren.“Mr. Hilton, should I add the engagement party to your schedule for today?”Darren glanced at her.“I've known Adrian and Clara for a while, and those two are always up to something. I'm certain this engagement party they've invited me to isn't as simple as they're making it seem.”Victoria nodded in agreement.“I think so too, sir. Considering your history with Mr. Blake, I find it difficult to believe that he would suddenly invite you to such an important occasion without having something else in mind.”“Exactly. I'll find out what they're planning when I get there.”With that, Darren turned toward his office. However, before he could take more than a few steps, someone walked through the entrance.It was Sarah, Victoria's younger sister.Darren paused when he recognized her, while Victoria turned toward the door in surprise.“Sarah? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school by now?”Sarah walked toward her sister
CHAPTER 589
The following morning, Darren was on his way to the office when he encountered heavy traffic.He slowed down and eventually brought his car to a stop, settling back into his seat as he waited for the vehicles ahead to move. It seemed the traffic would take a while to clear, so he glanced around to see if there was anything interesting nearby.That was when he noticed two people standing behind his car.A young man and a young woman were having a conversation. At first, Darren paid them little attention, but something about their exchange caught his interest when the young man suddenly asked,“Did you bring the money?”The young woman nodded and opened her purse. She took out a bundle of cash and handed it to him.“How much is this?” the young man asked.“Fifty thousand dollars,” she replied quietly.The moment he heard the amount, the young man's expression changed.“Fifty thousand dollars?” he repeated in disbelief. “Are you kidding me? Why would you bring me only fifty thousand dol
CHAPTER 588
This question came unexpected to Darren. He had not thought of what to say if she asked him this question.But he wasn’t going to tell her it was the system.So at the end, after carefully arranging the words in his head, he lied.“I learned the technique from a first aid, safety, and emergency treatment program I enrolled in some time ago,” he explained casually. “At the time, I didn't think I would ever need to use what I learned, but it seems it has finally come in handy.”Victoria studied his face, trying to determine whether he was telling the truth.“Is that so?” she asked.“Of course.” Darren waved his hand dismissively. “Anyway, it's nothing worth talking about. You should forget about it.”Although Victoria wasn't convinced by his explanation, she decided not to press him further.She was no fool! How can a safety program teach one how to cure cancer? As a matter of fact, terminal cancer!Every ounce in her knew that he was keeping something from her.Whatever the truth was,
CHAPTER 587
Darren looked at Charles, who was still kneeling before him.“You see, my bodyguard has run into some trouble, and I currently don't have anyone to protect me. Since you are so eager to do anything to earn my forgiveness, I want you to become my bodyguard.”Charles's expression froze.“Your bodyguard?” he repeated, wondering if he had heard correctly.“Yes,” Darren replied. “You will follow me wherever I go and do whatever I tell you. And before you begin, you will sign an agreement stating that if anything happens to me while you are responsible for my safety, you will be held accountable.”Charles stared at him in disbelief before his face twisted with anger.“Are you out of your mind?” he snapped. “How can you make such a ridiculous demand of me? Do you even know who I am? I'm a Harvard graduate, and I have a master's degree from Harvard! How can someone like me become another man's bodyguard?”Darren shrugged.“Since you don't want to do it, there's no problem. Officer, you can ta
CHAPTER 586
Darren looked at the doctor, who was still kneeling before him, and sighed.“Please get up. I've already told you that I'm not a doctor.”The doctor slowly rose to his feet, but the admiration in his eyes remained.“Even if you aren't a doctor, you must have received some kind of medical training. What you did today is beyond anything I've ever witnessed in my career.”Darren shook his head.“I'm not even a health practitioner. I have nothing to do with the medical profession.”Everyone stared at him in disbelief.“You're not a health practitioner either?” one of the nurses asked.“No,” Darren replied calmly.“But how were you able to do it?” the doctor pressed. “How did you bring Mr. McArthur back from the brink of death and eliminate his cancer?”Darren glanced at him before answering.“I've had some experience dealing with conditions like Mr. McArthur's. That's why I knew what to do.”The doctor shook his head in disagreement.“With all due respect, sir, this wasn't an ordinary med
CHAPTER 585
The nurses quickly nodded.“Yes, sir.”They moved toward the bed and carefully followed Darren's instructions. Together, they adjusted Mr. McArthur's position, lowering his head toward the ground while supporting his body to keep him from falling.Darren watched closely, making sure they held him properly.“Keep him in that position for a little while,” he instructed.The nurses obeyed.Everyone in the room watched in tense silence. Mrs. McArthur held her hands together, silently praying that her husband would survive. Allison stood beside her, unable to take her eyes off her father.Charles, meanwhile, had become unusually quiet.He had expected Darren to fail. In fact, he had been eager for the doctor to have him removed from the room. But the situation had taken a turn he could never have imagined.Not only had Darren restored his father's heartbeat, but the man's condition had also stabilized after the needles were put back.For the first time, Charles began to wonder whether Darr
