THE UNTOUCHABLE DOCTOR
“Speaking of problems, I heard your assistant, Felix Vale, lost everything including his job and medical licence. What do you have to say about that?” Roland barely reacted. “I already know.”“He wasn't just dismissed,” The other investor said. “His licence was suspended the same day.”“He was enforcing your policies,” the oldest investor added. “Why did Dr. Hilton sacrifice him?”Roland shrugged. “Felix was only an assistant. Assistants are replaceable.”One investor frowned. “Replacing a man is easy,” he said. “Replacing someone who already knows every hidden corner of this business is much harder. If Felix ever talks, he could become dangerous.”Roland gave a dismissive wave. “Fear keeps loose tongues under control. Felix knows exactly what happens to people who betray us.”“But from what I hear, he was protecting this secret operation of ours,” the investor insisted.Roland's expression hardened slightly. “He was protecting it badly and without sense.”“He forgot the first rule,”
DARK SECRETS
Three days after the incident at Verda Medical Center, the executive boardroom overlooked the capital through walls of polished glass. Every detail reflected success, from the imported furniture to the campaign banners showing Roland Verda smiling beside grateful patients. Around the long conference table sat three of the corporation's largest private investors, each holding a confidential report while security guards stood outside the locked doors.Roland stood before a large presentation screen wearing an expensive tailored suit. He clicked to the next slide with an easy smile. “Our expansion plan will establish new rehabilitation centers across four provinces,” he said. “We'll also introduce specialist clinics, mobile health units, and advanced diagnostic facilities. These projects will strengthen Verda Medical Corporation's reputation while increasing revenue.”One investor leaned back impatiently and tapped the table with a gold pen. “Cut the public speech, Roland,” he said. “No
EVIDENCE OF A KILLER
Ethan adjusted the strap of the old document bag across his shoulder. “Now that is a good lesson for you to learn.”He turned and walked away without looking back. Behind him, Felix continued begging, but the sound grew weaker as Ethan entered the main lobby.The people who had mocked Ethan earlier now moved out of his path. Some stared at him with fear, while others lowered their heads in shame. Ethan ignored them all.A middle-aged man who had witnessed the confrontation stepped forward hesitantly. “Sir,” he called, “I judged you the moment you walked in. I was wrong.”Ethan paused without turning around. “Then remember today,” he said quietly. “Judge people by their actions, not their appearance.”The man lowered his head. “I will never forget it.”The weight of the document bag felt different now. Before the veteran’s death, the evidence inside it had been numbers, account records, and secret payments. After what Ethan had witnessed, every page carried a human cost.He tightened h
THE COST OF CORRUPTION
The notification from the National Doctors Association remained open on Felix Vale’s screen. He read the message once, then again, but the words did not change.EMERGENCY SUSPENSION OF MEDICAL LICENCE PENDING FINAL DISCIPLINARY REVIEW.Felix’s fingers began trembling so badly that he nearly dropped the phone. The confidence he had carried through the hospital only minutes earlier had disappeared completely.“This cannot be happening,” he whispered. His eyes moved rapidly across the notice, searching for some mistake he could challenge. “They cannot suspend my licence without calling me first.”The senior nurse standing nearby looked at the screen and slowly shook her head. “It is official, Dr Felix. The registration number and authorization seal are both there.”Felix turned the phone toward the nurse as though she might discover something he had missed. “Check it properly,” he demanded. “There must be an appeal button or it must be an administrative error.”The nurse looked at the no
ONE PHONE CALL TOO MANY
He tried to sound certain, yet a small fear had already entered his voice. The respectful greeting from the caller had sounded too natural, and Ethan had spoken with the calm authority of someone accustomed to immediate obedience.Still, Felix refused to accept what was happening. Believing the truth would mean admitting that he had mocked and threatened one of the most powerful men in Verdanis.Ethan raised one finger without looking away from the phone. “The widow is still grieving. Lower your voice.”The minister continued, “I will send written confirmation within minutes. Do you require anything else, Grand Master?”“Yes I will require but not from your office,” Ethan replied. “Thank you.”He ended the call, but Felix forced another laugh. “That staged conversation you just made proves nothing. Anyone can save a contact under a false name.”Ethan selected a second number. “Then listen carefully to this one.”The second call connected almost immediately and the President of the Nat
POWER WEARS NO UNIFORM
Roland Verda’s assistant stared at Ethan as if the threat had come from a madman. The veteran’s body remained inside the emergency room behind them, covered now by a white sheet while his wife cried beside the bed. Yet the assistant still looked more annoyed than guilty.“The old man was dying before he arrived,” Roland Verda's assistant said with a dismissive shrug. “You are looking for someone to blame because you cannot accept what happened.”Ethan stepped into his path before he could walk away. “He was alive when he came through those doors. He was speaking, breathing, and asking for help.”“People die every day,” the assistant replied. He glanced toward the treatment room as though the body meant nothing to him. “Hospitals are not magical places where every patient survives.”“Not every patient dies because someone chose money over treatment,” Ethan said. His voice remained calm, but the anger in his eyes made several nurses step back. “You delayed him for forty minutes while hi
