A stubborn man
After throwing up the mouthful of dark blood, Richard’s complexion had returned to normal, and his breathing finally evened out, seeming to be fine now.“You’ll never understand it,” William stated indifferently.Stefan blushed in embarrassment, not expecting the ordinary doctor he mocked to be so skilled.Not long after he spat out the dark blood, Richard came around. Although his body was weak, it was a miracle that he’d made it.As for Stefan, when he saw Richard regain consciousness, he admitted defeat and apologized to William sincerely.William decided to let the man be.After all, Stefan may be a proud man, but he sincerely respected those who were stronger than him.The rest of the Smith family also resumed their activities after making sure that Richard was fine. “How are you feeling, sir? Are you in pain anywhere?” Tanya walked over to the bed, holding a glass of warm water.“I’m fine. I just feel slightly bloated.” Richard took two sips.“Duh. Look at the blood you threw u
A frightening sight
“Afraid?” William shook his head. “Well, I am slightly afraid that you might cry.”“You agree, then?” Stefan regarded William disdainfully with his arms folded.“Of course.” William nodded. “Since you look so confident. I’m curious to see how good you are. However, I hope you don’t regret your promise later.”“Good. I’ll show you how lacking your traditional medicine is compared to modern medicine!” Stefan smirked smugly.He pulled a vial from his case and explained. “See this? This is the newest antidote my team developed. Within thirty minutes, the patient will wake up again.”“Good luck.” William’s response was simple.“Watch closely!” Stefan exclaimed before slowly injecting the green drug into Richard’s body.After ten minutes, the unconscious man began to react.“It’s working! It’s working!” Charlotte was over the moon to see the changes.As expected of a leading medical professor from abroad, the effects of such a small action were amazing.“Do you see this, Belmont? This is Dr
A professor at Pearson
William approached the bed and took Richard’s pulse before checking his eyes and mouth.He was now sure that Richard had been poisoned by incredibly potent poison.“William, how’s he? Can you treat him?” Tanya asked tentatively.“It’s a little tricky, but I can try,” William answered after thinking about it.“Try?” Charlotte frowned. “This is his life we’re talking about, and you’re telling me you’ll try? Are you joking?”“Mrs. Smith, this isn’t any regular poison. We’ll have to take a risk if we want to save him.” William explained.With how serious Richard’s condition was, it’d be a miracle if they could even save his life.“That’s not what I want to hear! I want my husband to recover completely!” Charlotte hissed.“She’s right. If you can’t do it, let us treat him.”Suddenly, a group of people entered the room. They were led by a chubby, middle-aged man, followed by a voluptuous woman wearing a dress. “What are you guys doing here, Dennis?” Charlotte was surprised.The Smith famil
Reason for the Smiths hostility
“I don't get it, why does he want her gone so badly?” William asked. “Isn't she his daughter?”Tanya hesitated, her expression betraying the fact that she knew something but didn't wish to share.“Tanya, if you know something, you have to tell me.”Tanya let out a sigh. “Fine, but you can't tell anyone.”“What is it?”“Victoria isn't Mr. Smith's child.”“What?”“The story goes like this: when Mr. Smith and his wife, Charlotte, had their first pregnancy, Miss Charlotte had a miscarriage. She lost her mind after that and became erratic. One day, she found a child in the dumpster and took that child as her own.”“That child was Victoria.”“Exactly. To appease Charlotte, Mr. Smith adopted Victoria legally, and so, she became their first child. Over time, they had two more children at which point they wanted to ensure that Victoria did not become heiress due to her unfortunate identity as an adopted child.”“But her grandfather didn't accept this.”“Exactly.” Tanya nodded.“So that's how i
Poisoned
“Mr. Smith, I don’t want to be enemies with the Smith family, but I’m willing to take this risk for Victoria’s sake. I’ll repeat myself. As long as she doesn’t want to marry, no one can force her!” William’s tone became assertive.“Hmph! What an arrogant youngster!” Richard’s eyes turned cold. “I’ve tried to speak nicely to you for Victoria’s sake, but if you insist on being stubborn, don’t blame me for turning my back on you!”“William! Don’t provoke Mr. Smith. It’ll bring you no good." Tanya desperately tried to hint at William.“Mr. Smith, you’re the one being stubborn, not me.” William remained undaunted.“Fine! Very well!” Upon hearing that, Richard smirked. “Young man, you surely are fearless! I’ll give you three days. If you’re willing to leave this city within three days, I won’t hold it against you. But if you persist in going your way, you’ll have to bear the consequences!”After saying that, he turned and left.“Wait!” William suddenly called out.“What? Did you change your
Meeting the Smiths
“You’ve still got a lot to learn before you can reach Timothy’s level.” the boys sneered.Even the girls couldn’t help frowning.Although they were attracted by William’s good looks and brave attitude, his disgusting character put them off.“Fine. If you think that he helped me, then so be it.” William couldn’t be bothered to argue.After flagging down a taxi, he turned and asked Leticia, “Since we’re traveling in the same direction, would you like to share a ride?”“Timothy, Lisa, I’ll be on my way. Let me know if anything comes up,” Leticia said her goodbyes before leaving with William.As soon as the two left, Don Conrad and his brother emerged from the karaoke bar, both looking displeased.“Hey, isn’t that Don Conrad? He looks pissed. Do you think he’s going to hunt that guy down?” someone pointed out.“Hunt him down?” A mischievous twinkle lit up Timothy’s eyes.He quickly approached the two men with a sneaky smile. “Don Conrad, are you trying to find the guy who fought you just
