"Huh?"

Both Lucien and the doctors froze, their heads turned slowly towards Julian who stood in a spot staring at them.

"And you are?" The lead doctor asked, breaking the silence as he was the first to come back to his senses.

"Aren’t you a patient? What are you doing walking around?” He continued asking, his eyes on Jillian scrutinizing the latter as though he couldn't wait to get the information he needed out of him.

“It doesn't matter," Julian replied walking towards the bed slowly, his brows furrowing into a thin line with his gaze fixated on the old man.

"What matters is that I can save this old man's life," He added, stopping right by the bed.

"So if I may," Julian said and proceeded to pick up the old man's arms wanting to read his pulse.

"Young man, this is so absurd. How can we let you try anything here? Does all this look like a joke to you?”

The lead doctor harrumphed as he stepped forward to block Julian, his gaze not leaving the latter even for a second.

Julian was just a young man who was not even thirty years old. Yet, he claimed he was able to treat something they had been unable to do anything about for months.

"After all, we don't know your identity aside from being a patient here. If words get out that some riffraff was allowed to conduct a treatment on a patient here then we might be sued for it," The doctor added, his gaze not leaving Julian even for a second.

He didn't know who the latter actually was under that garment, nor had he directly seen him before. But the confidence emanating from him was something he couldn't obviously dismiss.

"Well, you just declared you're helpless and can't do anything to help the patient, so why don't you just let me try?" Julian shrugged, then turned to Lucien who was observing the situation but didn't say anything.

"Or what do you say, Mr. Brown?" He asked, his voice calm.

"Are you sure you'll be able to extend my father's life?" Lucien spoke after a moment of silence, his eyes seemed to bore right into Julian.

"Not to talk of extending your father's life for a few days, I can treat your father and guarantee he'll live for at least ten years more," Julian assured, a hint of pride in his voice.

"Aren't you just spouting nonsense young man!" The doctors flew into a rage as they glared at Julian.

"Do you even know what you're saying!?"

"We couldn't treat the old man even after spending months trying to understand what was wrong with him, yet you just pop out of nowhere and claim you could treat him!"

"Who do you think you are? The medical God?!"

"I think he's a con man, else, there's no way he would have walked in here brazenly and made such a ridiculous remark!"

"Call the security and have them throw him out! He'll tarnish the reputation of our hospital!"

The doctors pointed at Julian and yelled furiously. They kept saying harsh and mean words, but Julian didn't budge.

His gaze remained fixated on Lucien who was yet to give a reply.

"Mr. Brown, time is of the essence, if you delay any longer, then I'm afraid you'd really have to prepare for his funeral," Julian broke the silence, ignoring the harsh remarks of the doctors.

"Young man, if you could truly save my father as you've said, I'm willing to pay one billion," Lucien said hurriedly, promising almost instantly.

"It's decided," Julian's mouth curved into a smile, and he turned back to the old man on the bed. But just as he was about to check the old man's pulse once again, the lead doctor blocked him.

"I can't allow you to do anything to a patient when you are just one yourself," The doctor shook his head, refusing to move away.

Julian's expression darkened as he saw this. The condition of the old man was deteriorating fast, if he didn't act soon enough, then even he would be helpless.

Though he did understand the reason the doctors were in denial. But then, they were beginning to cross the line.

"Mr. Brown," Julian called, turning to Lucien whose expression was now ashen.

"Stand back Marcus," Lucien spat coldly, a glint flashing in his eyes as he stared at the doctor blocking Julian.

The doctor, Marcus swallowed a lump, and sweat covered his forehead as they trickled down.

He had been working for the Brown family for years, but this was the first time Lucien was addressing him directly by his name, and what more his voice was icy cold.

But then he wasn't going to give up. After all, he believed Julian was just a con man. If something extremely worse were to happen to the old man, the hospital would be held responsible.

"Sir, you should try to understand my view," Marcus stated hurriedly, trying to suppress his anxiousness while he gulped down hard.

"This young man here is definitely a con man, I'm sure he's not even a medical doctor," He added and then turned to Julian.

"Which medical school did you attend? And where's your license?" He asked, glaring at Julian.

Julian's expression darkened, but he still answered,

"I've never gone to a medical school, so naturally, I can't have a license,"

"You've heard him Mr. Brown, there's definitely no way this man can save your father, he knows nothing about medicine, so please think straight and don't be deceived," Marcus stated, swallowing his saliva, while sweat trickled down his forehead.

Lucien's expression darkened and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes. The confidence emanating from Julian made him believe he would be able to save his father.

After all, he had felt this kind of confidence before as he had when he was younger. So he felt Julian wasn't bluffing.

But if they were to look at it logically. The latter had never attended a medical school, so how in the world would he be able to save his father?

That should be impossible right?

"Mr. Brown, you have to make your decision now, or else any later than this, then even Hua Tuo won't be able to save him," Julian's voice came, pulling Lucien back to his senses.

  • An invitation

    Julian stared at the man and couldn't seem to grasp what he might be insinuating. If he could remember correctly, today was the first time he was coming across anyone from the Preston family. In fact, he never knew such a family existed. He wasn’t staying in this city and also wasn’t someone interested in a family’s history and background. “Might be a mistake. I am sure that this is the first time we are meeting each other.” Julain said casually with a smile. “Honey, do you know him from somewhere?” Fenna turned to look at Dalton, searching his face, which had a puzzled look on it. “Uhmmm,” Dalton stuttered, finding it difficult to decide. He had definitely met someone who looked like Julian; however, that person was quite older. It didn’t make sense that he was aging backwards, right? “What’s your last name?” He could only ask instead. “Eddleman,” Julian replied, curious to know where it would lead to. “Ahh, forget it. I might be mistaking you for someone else.” He waved the

  • We have met before?

    “Dad, Fenna here tried to frame Mom for poisoning Owen. I am only trying to make her confess, that’s all.” Drake said proudly and deliberately took a glance at Fenna, hinting at the kind of trouble she had brought up herself. Everyone was, in fact, pleased that Dalton was back. As the head of the family, he could pass judgment and even banish a family member. Every power still rested in his hand until he decided to pass it on. Dalton frowned when he heard this. The place had become so silent with just his footsteps echoing as he began to trot towards them. Hurriedly, Helen wanted to speak. “Honey…” However, Dalton lifted his hand, cutting her off even before she could complete her sentence. His gaze was fixed on Fenna all along; the tears streaming down her cheeks touched his heart, and he proceeded to ask after pulling the smoke pipe from his lips. “What happened?” He asked calmly. Everyone immediately frowned, including Helen. She thought he would listen to her straight away

  • I asked a fucking question

    An intense fight was about to break out. Waves had gushed around, flipping the couch ahead while some family members were almost blown off their feet. It happened so fast before anyone could even react, even though they had anticipated it. “Wait!” However, Fenna suddenly yelled in the nick of time, just when Tiger's sword had almost struck Scarface. Even though he had taken a stance, ready to tank the move, from how explosive and deadly it was, it was evident that the blow would kill him instantly. Tiger quickly halted the attack; however, the edge of the sword was so close to splitting Scarface's head in two. A few cuts had been inflicted on his face with blood pouring over even though the attack hadn’t struck deeply yet. Not only had Tiger concentrated so much of his Qi into his sword, but he also had the intention to kill Scarface on the spot. She just couldn’t allow him to kill Scarface just because of her. The man didn’t deserve to die just like that even though he was read

  • The past is the past

    Fenna never expected such a question, and what was more, aside from the witnesses, she had no proof to back up her claim. The infirmary didn’t have any cameras installed, which was why Helen had been so bold to do what she did. Fenna bit her lower lip in frustration when she noticed that, actually, the other family members had gathered to look. That was precisely why Helen said that, so she could save herself and, at the turn, make Fenna seem like the troublesome one. “It seems you don’t have proof.” Helen chided when she saw the darkened look on Fenna's face. “Tch! How bold and thick-skinned. You are pointing fingers, yet you don’t even have proof? Are you looking down on us or what?” Drake grunted, his fist tightening. “You have always wanted to kick us out of this family when we haven't done anything to you.” He added, when a thought suddenly popped into his head. “I think I know what’s going on here!” He suddenly said loudly for everyone to hear. “Me too.” Chloe also stood

  • Put on an act

    Meanwhile, in the massive living room within the mansion. Helen was seated on the couch between her kids. On her right was Drake, while on the left was Chloe. They had a keen resemblance to Helen and were very good-looking, even comparable to movie stars on TV. The trio seemed to be invested in a video playing on the phone Helen was holding. Helen had found the video very funny, so she called them over to come take a look. “Hahaha, what a loser. I was expecting much of him, though.” Drake laughed out loudly at a scene in the video that didn’t turn out to be the way he was expecting. As for Chloe, she looked a bit bored. She would have preferred to watch Korean dramas instead. She had the urge to voice out her discontent but the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard coming from a hallway. However, the trio wasn't too concerned about that until the person showed up. It was Fenna, and behind her was Scarface with a solemn expression on his face. “Hellen! How dare you try

  • You saved my son?

    Bang! Mrs. Fenna barged into the infirmary in a panic. She had been praying to the heavens to ensure she wouldn’t come to meet the worst-case scenario ever. But then, the first thing she caught was Scarface having a conversation with Randy, both of them having smiles on their faces while Julian was seated beside the lady, seemingly treating her legs with some techniques. In summary, the tension in the air was so calm, and soothing that it didn’t feel like anything bad had happened or that such a villainous woman like Helen had actually come here before. She began to doubt if what Callum told her was true; however, what reason did she have to doubt him now? He wasn’t someone who would lie to her when he knew the kind of mental pressure it would cost her. “You are back?” Julian said with a smile as he looked at her. He could already get a hint that she knew what had happened here. Someone must have told her indeed. “Your son is fine.” He added, and only then did she breathe a s
