2026-06-26 12:00:27Peter woke when the morning light had only just touched the edge of the window in Apartment 307. He had not slept for long, because his body still carried fatigue from treating Goro, but his mind felt calmer after the threat of debt no longer clung to the door of his home.
He sat on the edge of the bed for several minutes and checked his dantian. The Qi inside his body was not empty, but it moved slowly and thinly, like a small flame that could go out if he forced himself

Qi That Should Not Exist
Peter released Sandra Steel’s hand at the right moment, then closed the silver needle box so his hand movements had a natural reason. His face remained calm, but within his dantian, the Qi that normally moved slowly suddenly trembled like water touched by the first rain.Peter’s spiritual vision caught something no one else in the waiting room at Prosperity Health Clinic could see. Beneath Sandra’s skin, moving along her meridians with unusual calm, was an extremely fine golden flow.The energy did not shine brightly. It did not surge outward like a technique deliberately put on display. No one around her would have realized that her body carried something different.Peter had received a small recovery from the energy of certain patients before, including Nina Yap. Yet what he sensed from Sandra was far more stable. The Qi was dense but gentle, as though it had been a natural part of her body since birt
Miss Steel’s Challenge
After Sandra Steel stated that she had not yet decided to believe her grandfather’s story, the waiting room at Prosperity Health Clinic settled into a calmer rhythm. Endi still stood near the desk, holding his folder too tightly. Wong looked as though he wanted to disappear into the administration room, while the patients gradually returned their attention to their queue numbers.Sandra did not leave immediately. She shifted her gaze from Endi to Peter and said, “My grandfather is not easily impressed. In his life, he has met many people who speak well, many famous doctors, and many people who only arrive after everything is already safe.”Peter waited for her to continue without changing his expression. He did not interrupt with stories about Mr. Suryo, nor did he use the clinic’s situation to prove himself. Trust requested through long explanations usually lost its value before it was ever given.<
The Cost of Insulting an Elderly Patient
Sandra Steel stood in the middle of the waiting room at Prosperity Health Clinic without raising her voice. Patients, nurses, and the clinic guard, who still felt guilty, all remained silent because the direction of the room had changed.She looked at Endi Wang first.“State your full name, your position, and your reason for calling security to remove my grandfather.”Endi stiffened, then adjusted the identification card on his chest as if it could still protect him.“Doctor Endi Wang, internal medicine specialist. I called security because Mr. Suryo disrupted a medical review, provoked patients, and interfered in treatment he did not understand.”“So you called security because he defended the doctor who once helped him?” Sandra asked.“I called security because he made the waiting room unsuitable,” Endi replie
The Name Behind Mr. Suryo
The door of Prosperity Health Clinic opened slowly after the footsteps stopped at the corridor entrance. A young woman entered in a simply tailored suit, her expression calm and her gaze moving across the waiting room without haste.Two professional guards followed a few steps behind her. They did not force their way through or glare at anyone. They simply took positions beside the entrance so patients still had room to move and would not feel threatened by their arrival.Peter watched from where he stood. He did not judge the woman by her clothes or any obvious display of wealth. Instead, he noticed how she assessed the guard’s position, Mr. Suryo’s face as he was being led out, Endi’s folder, and the clinic staff frozen near the administration desk.The woman did not introduce herself at once. She looked at the clinic guard first, then asked in a calm voice, “Which doctor just ordered an elderly
A Line Crossed
Endi Wang looked at Mr. Suryo with a flushed face, then repeated himself more clearly so the entire waiting room could hear.“An old man who does not understand medical science should not interfere in a doctor’s affairs.”Mr. Suryo did not answer by shouting. He looked at Endi for several seconds, pressed the tip of his cane against the floor, then spoke in a steady voice despite the disappointment in his eyes.“I may not remember every term in your folder. But I have lived for decades. I have led people. I have seen honest men, and I have seen men who care only about protecting their own faces.”Several patients in the waiting area exchanged glances. Peter Davis stood beside Mr. Suryo, first watching the elderly man’s breathing before turning his attention to Endi, whose jaw had begun to tighten.Mr. Suryo continued, “When I could barely breathe, people in this clinic told my family to arrange the deposit and wait for our turn. Doctor Peter looked at the color of my lips, checked my
The Witness Who Refused to Stay Silent
The elderly man who had just entered stopped at the entrance of Prosperity Health Clinic while holding a simple wooden cane. His face still carried the lines of age, but his steps were far steadier than when Peter first saw him arrive with pale lips and a body close to giving up.“Mr. Suryo,” Peter said. He immediately walked toward him, not with a happy face because he had gained a witness, but with the concern of a doctor who saw an old patient arriving while the waiting room was already too crowded.Mr. Suryo raised one hand slightly, refusing to be guided completely. “I am all right. I came because I heard you were being attacked again in a place that should not forget who helped sick people.”Peter checked his breathing, his complexion, and the way the old man held his cane. “You do not need to stand long. Sit first, then speak only if your body truly feels comfortable.”&n
