“Such a successful doctor would decide to become a kept man?” Victoria couldn't quite fathom why William would do such a thing.

She could only attribute to foolishness born out of love which caused her to feel pity for William.

If he had been smart, he would have continued in his career which would ensure that his future remained bright.

Unfortunately, there was no way he could get back the time he'd lost, and so Victoria felt he could only wallow in self-pity.

“Send me a picture of him.” Victoria instinctively said.

If she ever came across the fellow, she would try and see if he wished to have another go at being a doctor.

“Doing so now,” Tanya said.

A moment later, Victoria got the picture and she immediately froze as the person in the picture was quite familiar.

Just then, the emergency room door burst open with two nurses rushing out in a panic.

“Young Miss, there's a huge problem.”

Victoria immediately put her phone away as she inquired. “What's wrong?”

“It's your younger sister, Katie.” One of the nurses said. “She suddenly stopped breathing and her vitals signs are dangerously low. If something isn't done soon, she might die.”

“What!?” Victoria turned pale as she struggled to accept that her sister was on the brink of death.

Just then, Vincent rushed out, preparing to scold the nurses for rushing out the way they did only to freeze as he made eye contact with a livid Victoria.

“Young Miss…”

Victoria silenced him with a tight slap across the cheek, shocking everyone present.

“I thought you said you were the best!... You said you would make sure nothing happened to her!... So what is this I am hearing!... Tell me!”

“Young Miss, it's not as bad as these fools claim it to be. Everything is under control.” Vincent tried to explain only for Victoria to slap him again.

“Shut your mouth!... I knew you were a quack from the moment I laid eyes on you. How dare you put my sister in such a critical condition?”

Vincent felt humiliated as everyone watched Victoria scold him like a child.

Just then, Damian emerged in a bid to soothe Victoria's nerves. “Young Miss.”

“Don't you dare say anything to me!... Because of your lies, my sister is going to die, and I promise you that if that happens, I will not spare you and this quack. Do you understand me?”

“Young miss, please calm down.”

“Calm down?... Did you just say I should calm down?” Victoria glared at Damian causing him to swallow everything else he wished to say.

Just then, Raymond rushed over to whisper something in Damian's ear, causing the old deputy to light up as he glanced to the side, quickly laying eyes on William.

“Young Miss, everything isn't over yet. There's still someone that can save your sister.”

“And you expect me to believe you?” Victoria questioned.

Feeling like something bad was about to happen, Vincent tried to speak up. “Dad…”

“Shut your mouth!” Damian coldly remarked before addressing Victoria. “The person is a famed doctor at our institution. You can look up his title online. He is popularly known as the LifeGiver.”

“Dad, you can't do this.” Vincent protested. “He hasn't worked at our hospital for years. How sure are you that he is skilled enough to reverse the current situation?”

“If I hear you speak again, I will not hesitate to relieve you of your tongue, do you understand what I am saying?” Victoria warned, causing Vincent to back away in fright.

Then, she turned to Damian. “Where is this doctor you are talking about?”

“Well, he is right over…” Damian trailed off only to pause as he realized that William was gone.

“Where did he go?” He asked in confusion only for a nurse to exclaim.

“He's over there.”

Everyone turned towards where she was pointing just in time to discover a man in a surgeon's outfit rushing into the surgery room.

Instinctively, Victoria rushed toward the room along with Damian, Vincent, and Raymond.

***

William couldn't stand by and watch Katie die while Damian and Victoria continued to bicker like kids.

So the moment the nurse had announced that Katie's condition was critical, he immediately made his move, rushing over to the closet to change into appropriate clothing before rushing into the surgery room.

He could explain things later but there was no way he would sit by and watch Katie die, not when he could do something about it.

By the time Victoria and the others arrived at the surgery room door, William had already started the process, his demeanor calm and collected as he worked hard to save Katie's life.

Victoria couldn't even be mad as she instinctively felt like her sister was in safe hands.

“Who is that?” Victoria asked with Damian replying.

“That's the doctor I was talking about, Young Miss. As long as he has taken over, your sister is as good as cured.”

Vincent grew bitter hearing his father praise William in such a manner, further increasing his hatred towards the fellow.

What was so great about him that everyone couldn't stop praising him?... Did they think he was infallible?... Of course not!

He didn't even care about Katie's life as he only wished for William to fail so that everyone would realize that he wasn't as good as they claimed him to be.

  • Avoiding a collision

    “Bastard!”Even after Donald’s figure disappeared into the night, Victor’s chest was still heaving up and down vigorously. He was clearly still livid.“How on earth did I give birth to such a dimwit? What a great misfortune for my family!” Victor rattled on, his face full of disappointment about Donald.William wanted to comfort Victor, but he didn’t know how to start.After all, Donald was really foolish beyond William’s expectations, and he could fully imagine how frustrated Victor was now.He knew that Donald was prejudiced against him and would definitely try to find trouble with him.But he didn’t expect that Donald would actually barge into Victor’s residence and criticize him right in front of Victor.William didn’t know what to say about his behavior.“William, I’m really sorry. It’s my lack of proper discipline that resulted in my son saying such unpleasant things to you. Please don’t take it to heart!” Victor said to William apologetically.William shook his head. “It’s fine

  • Extreme prejudice

    The bracelet was from the Emerald Garden, so it had to be extremely expensive. But since William could give it away, Victor didn’t bother about whether it was too expensive for William.William was not the kind who would puff himself up, and the friendship between the Lancasters and William was more than that. There was no need for Victor to dwell on such a trivial matter.Victor and William were sitting on the plain tree stump chairs and ate the sweet fruits while chatting and enjoying the night view harmoniously.Suddenly, there was knocking on the wooden door outside the idyllic residence.“Come in!” Victor said casually.The wooden door was opened with a creak, and Donald entered from outside.Victor subconsciously frowned upon seeing his son. “Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be helping Cecilia with the party?”Donald didn’t say anything. Right from the beginning, he was staring at William, who was sitting beside Victor.When Donald saw that a significant portion of the fruit plat

  • Exchanging gifts

    Victor said dotingly while looking at the back of his beautifully dressed granddaughter.After rinsing the basket of fruits under a tap, a servant placed them on a fruit tray, brought it over to the courtyard, and placed it on a stone table under a tree.This resting corner was decorated in an idyllic style, with a small stone table and three antique round tree stumps around it.Victor warmly asked William to sit down on a tree stump. “Quickly take a seat and try the fruits I planted myself. They are definitely better than what you can get elsewhere!”William smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Lancaster. I’m in for a treat today then.”At the same time, in the villa where Donald was…Donald had lost his temper just now from his failed attempts to convince Zayn and Richard to sever ties with William.He had even smashed his phone.He had to down several mouthfuls of tea to calm down.At this moment, the butler-like man who had previously invited William hurriedly came in from outside and reported

  • The ultimate bliss

    After lashing out at Donald, Richard immediately hung up without giving Donald the chance to respond.Holding his phone tightly, Donald stood dumbfounded without reacting for a long time.Richard’s words were still ringing in his ears.As the only son of Victor, the head of the Lancaster family, it had been a long time since Donald had been reprimanded badly and had someone hang up on him.If it were someone else, Donald would have used the power of the Lancasters to kill them.But since he was facing Richard, the helmsman of the Smiths, who had recently risen in strength and was almost on par with the Lancasters, Donald had no choice but to bear with it.If this matter spread to his father’s ears, he would probably say that Richard had done a good job reprimanding him.He might even force him to apologize to Richard.Thus, he could only grit his teeth and tolerate it for now.But Richard’s attitude clearly showed that the Smiths would rather go to war with the Lancasters than sever t

  • An honored guest

    Donald clearly stated his displeasure toward William.In his opinion, William managed to befriend the Khans entirely because he leveraged the power of the Lancasters.As long as he made it clear to the Khans what the Lancasters’ attitude toward William was, he believed that Zayn would draw a clear line with William immediately.He reckoned that Zayn would agree, especially since he had promised some benefits and extended an olive branch.Those wealthy families would eagerly agree immediately.“Mr. Lancaster, I’ve already told you that it’s impossible!” Zayn’s tone became cold and harsh, with extreme determination and some anger.“Regardless of what yours and the Lancasters’ attitude toward Mr. Belmont is, the Khans will never sever ties with Mr. Belmont!“Mr. Lancaster, if you called me today just to talk about this matter, then we don’t need to talk anymore. I still have something important to do, so I’ll hang up now. I’ll visit Mr. Lancaster Sr. another time.”With that, Zayn hung u

  • Making things clear to a fool

    “Do you think I befriended the Khan family, the Smiths, and the others because of the Lancasters?” William suddenly asked.Donald frowned and asked rhetorically, “Isn’t it?”“It’s really true.” William raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. “In that case, Mr. Lancaster, why don’t you call Mr. Khan and Mr. Smith to ask if they’re friends with me because of the Lancasters?!”He had a look of mockery on his face.He had long guessed it. Donald indeed thought that William had borrowed the Lancasters’ power to establish a relationship with the Khans and the Smiths. Just now, he even accused William of taking advantage of the Lancasters, which was simply hilarious.“Also, I hope that you won’t casually speculate on my intentions. I’m not interested in being your son-in-law, nor am I interested in the Lancasters’ assets. I only treat Cecilia as my younger sister.“As for my friendship with Mr. Lancaster Sr., this is a matter between us. You don’t seem to have any right to interfere, do you
