2025-05-27 12:04:12"Keith, you useless piece of trash! Just 600 milliliters of blood and you're this weak? Who are you pretending for?"
St. Augustine Memorial Hospital, a sharp voice pierced Keith’s eardrums as he slowly opened his eyes, staring at the furious middle-aged woman before him.
It was Melaine Richardson, his mother-in-law.
“Ma’am, please calm down! It's extremely dangerous for a healthy person to lose 600 milliliters of blood. We can’t take any more from him!”
A nearby nurse couldn’t bear Melaine’s unreasonable behavior and frowned as she tried to warn her.
“Shut up! What would a lowly nurse like you know?! This piece of trash should be volunteered to give my son blood! If it weren’t for my father saving him back then, he would’ve died on the street! What’s 600 milliliters to him?!”
Melanie scoffed. She grabbed a handful of Keith’s hair, sneered at his pale face, and said coldly, “Still alive, aren’t you? Then keep drawing blood! The Richardson family doesn’t raise useless garbage!”
The nurse hesitated, torn between protocol and pressure. "Mrs. Richardson, if I take any more, his heart rate could—"
"You think I care about that good-for-nothing leech?" Melaine hissed. "He married into this family for a roof over his head. The least he can do is keep my son alive."
But thanks to his strong physical constitution, Keith opened his eyes and calmly said to the nurse, “Go ahead and continue the transfusion. I’m fine.”
“Hmph, at least you know your place. Didn’t you hear him? Hurry up and draw the blood!” Melaine shouted smugly. She even felt the nurse was too slow, and began slapping Keith’s arm forcefully, trying to make the blood flow faster.
“Ma’am, please don’t do that! He won’t be able to hold on if this continues!” the nurse tried to stop her, but Melaine slapped her across the face.
“And who the hell do you think you are? This piece of trash hasn’t said a word, and you think you have the right to speak for him?” Melaine snarled viciously.
The nurse trembled with fury at Melaine’s rudeness, but all she could do was lean in and quietly say to Keith, “Sir, if you feel unwell at all, please let me know right away…”
“I…” Keith clenched his teeth, remembering the debt he owed to John, the head of the Richardson family, who had once saved his life. He forced himself to say, “I… can still… hold on…”
But his voice was barely a whisper.
Suddenly, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and Keith collapsed to the floor uncontrollably.
The nurse screamed, “Someone help! He’s gone into shock!”
Melaine scowled and cursed venomously, “Useless trash! Passed out before even reaching 1000 milliliters — why do we even bother keeping him around?”
She showed no concern for the unconscious Keith. Instead, she grabbed a nurse who was trying to help him and barked, “Why are you wasting your time on that garbage? Hurry up and get this bag of blood to the doctor — my son’s life depends on it!”
With that, she strutted off without sparing even a glance at Keith, who lay motionless on the floor.
Outside the hospital room, Keith’s wife, Emilia, was chatting and laughing with a well-dressed man. When Melaine saw them, she immediately put on a cheerful smile.
“Denver, look at you — you’re so busy, yet you still made time to come see Laurent!”
The man was named Denver, Emilia’s suitor. He knew Emilia was married, but he also knew Keith held no real status in the Richardson family.
Denver smiled and said, “Of course. After all, Laurent is Emilia’s younger brother — it’s my duty to help.”
Emilia beamed, adding, “Thanks to the doctor Denver found — they say he’s a top specialist — he might be able to cure my brother’s condition!”
Melaine was overjoyed and said, “That’s wonderful. Honestly, Denver is much more suited to be our Johnson family’s son-in-law. Unlike that piece of trash……”
“If the old man hadn’t lost his mind back then and insisted on you marrying that useless thing…”
Emilia’s expression darkened as she heard Melaine’s words. “Mom, that’s enough. Don’t bring this up again.”
“Why I can't bring it up?” Melaine snapped. “I say, once the doctor Denver found cures your brother, you should divorce that piece of trash immediately! Only a man like Denver is worthy of you!”
Emilia’s face clouded with displeasure, but she didn’t respond.
Seeing her daughter’s reaction, Melaine pursed her lips in frustration. She was determined—no matter what, she would make sure Emilia divorced that useless good-for-nothing!
Just then, the door to the hospital room opened, and the doctor Denver had brought stepped out.
“Doctor, how’s my brother?” Emilia asked quickly.
The doctor frowned and shook his head. “I’m sorry… I don’t think I can cure your brother…”
“What?!” Melaine cried out in shock. “Does that mean my daughter can’t divorce that garbage husband of hers?!”
Denver’s expression turned grim, and he gave the doctor a cold glare. The doctor quickly added:
“No — I mean, it’s beyond my abilities. But if you could find the ‘Miracle Doctor’...”
“The Miracle Doctor, huh? Fine. I’ll get someone to contact him right away to treat Laurent!” Denver replied with confidence.
“But…” the doctor wanted to explain that the Miracle Doctor wasn’t someone just anyone could hire. Someone like Denver, despite his wealth, had no way of even getting his contact.
However, Melaine rudely cut him off: “Since you can’t cure my son, get out already! What are you still doing here?”
Helpless, the doctor could only lower his head and leave.
Seeing the worry on Emilia’s face, Denver said proudly, “Don’t worry, baby. I’ll make sure the Miracle Doctor is here by tomorrow to operate on your brother!”
Looking at Denver’s confident demeanor, Melaine was all smiles. “See? This is the kind of man who should be your husband. Not like that other one, who is even afraid of donating his blood!”
"Afraid? What do you mean by that?" Emilia frowned.
In order to make Emilia despise Keith even more, Melaine began to lie:
"That piece of trash…… he got scared of donating blood to your brother and ran away!"

CHAPTER 91
Keith's phone rang exactly thirty minutes after his conversation with Lucas Parker. He answered immediately, his voice tense with anticipation."Mr. Cross, this is Lucas Parker," came the authoritative voice. "My tech specialist has completed the analysis of your banking situation.""What did you find?" Keith asked urgently."Someone is indeed making systematic withdrawals from your accounts," Lucas confirmed. "However, they're operating behind an elaborate network of false digital profiles designed to hide their true identity."Keith frowned, struggling to understand the technical implications. "What does that mean exactly?""It means whoever is stealing from you has created a sophisticated web of fake online identities to cover their tracks," Lucas explained patiently. "They're bouncing their digital signature through multiple proxy servers and false accounts to make themselves untraceable.""But you were able to trace them?" Keith pressed."My associate has capabilities that exceed

Keith's frustration mounted as he stared at the bank manager's helpless expression. Another notification buzzed on his phone - another million dollars gone."This is absolutely unacceptable!" Keith demanded, his voice rising with each word. "You're telling me that one of the most secure financial institutions in the country cannot protect its customers from a single hacker?"The bank manager shifted uncomfortably in his chair. "Mr. Cross, I understand your frustration, but this Ghost Hacker is operating at a level we've never encountered before.""I don't care what level they're operating at!" Keith snapped. "Stop them! Block the account! Do something!""Sir, that's the problem," the manager explained nervously. "This person is using your exact credentials - your passwords, your security codes, your biometric data. If we block their access, we'll permanently lock you out of your own accounts."Keith's phone buzzed again. Another million gone."How is that even possible?" Keith asked t

Linda burst into Keith's study, her face pale with anxiety as she clutched her laptop tightly against her chest. Her usually composed demeanor had completely cracked under the pressure of the escalating threats."Keith, you need to see this immediately!" Linda exclaimed, setting her computer down on his desk with trembling hands. "The Richardson family sent another message!"Keith looked up from the presidential card he'd been studying and focused on Linda's screen. The threatening message glowed ominously against the dark background."They're demanding the heirloom back within twenty-four hours," Linda said frantically. "Keith, what are we going to do? You already used it to create the healing potion!"Keith's expression remained calm as he read the digital threat. "Linda, there's no reason to panic. I can handle the Richardson family.""But Keith, the heirloom is gone!" Linda protested desperately. "We dissolved it completely in the restoration formula! There's nothing left to retur
CHAPTER 88
Keith arrived at the White House the following afternoon, passing through multiple security checkpoints before being escorted to a private meeting room. The President entered moments later, his demeanor warm and welcoming as he approached Keith with an extended hand."Mr. Cross, thank you for coming," the President said, shaking Keith's hand firmly. "I trust you had a restful evening after your remarkable demonstration?""Thank you for the invitation, Mr. President," Keith replied respectfully. "It's an honor to meet with you personally."The President gestured for Keith to take a seat in one of the leather chairs positioned around a polished mahogany table. "The honor is entirely mine, Keith. May I call you Keith?""Of course, sir.""What you accomplished last night was nothing short of miraculous," the President continued, settling into his own chair. "Mrs. Williams and my assistant David - you gave them their lives back. I cannot adequately express my gratitude."Keith maintained h

They made their way through the dispersing crowd, with numerous audience members approaching to shake Keith's hand and offer congratulations. Each interaction was brief but sincere, with people expressing genuine amazement at what they had witnessed."Thank you for showing us what's possible," an elderly woman said tearfully. "My husband has been paralyzed for years. Maybe there's hope for him now.""Mr. Cross, you've given us all something to believe in," added a middle-aged man whose wheelchair-bound son sat beside him.Keith responded graciously to each person, though Linda could see the emotional toll the evening had taken on him. She gently guided him toward the exit, protecting him from the growing crowd of well-wishers.They finally reached the parking area, where Keith's luxury sedan waited under the bright security lights. But as they approached the vehicle, both Keith and Linda stopped in shock.The car's windows were completely shattered, with glass fragments scattered acro

"What you have accomplished here tonight has never been witnessed before in the entire history of modern medicine."The crowd erupted in another round of thunderous applause, their excitement palpable as they watched the most powerful man in the country personally recognizing Keith's extraordinary achievement."Thank you, Mr. President," Keith replied humbly, maintaining his characteristic composure despite the monumental significance of the moment.The President continued, his voice projecting clearly across the silent auditorium.
