Jonah secretly flashed a few dollar bills to the receptionist to persuade her.

He believed so much in bribing. It had always been his way out in settling situations like this.

Even though his last attempt at such, at Ace Company's dinner party the other day, nearly got him into trouble,

he believed nothing like that would happen this time around. Moreover, he was dealing with a lady.

Everybody knows the fastest way to a lady's heart is money. He believed there was no way she would decline this

    Mrs. Dalton was the first person to burst into the old man's room, with Roderick following behind.They had just entered the room when they saw the old man sneeze again.ACHOO!!!Mrs. Dalton was shocked to her feet upon witnessing that.She didn't want to believe she had just seen the man who had been in a coma for more than two years sneeze."Am I in dreamland?!" she questioned herself inwardly.She thought she had seen it all until the old man's eyes opened slowly.Phew...Mrs. Dalton felt her heart stop for a moment as she was completely astounded."Mr. Santos... has woken?" This statement slipped out of her mouth in a whisper.She didn't want to overreact as she was still doubting whether this was a dream or reality.If it turned out to be a dream, she didn't want to overreact so as not to end the dream abruptly.She did want this to keep going.At the same time, if it was reality, she didn't want to overreact and risk snapping the old man back into his comatose state.The middle-

    One of the things that could interrupt the patient's awakening is noise.How could they be in the same apartment and not talk to each other now?Roderick only answered the middle-aged woman with a stiff smile.He moved closer to her, took the bag of items from her hand, and rushed to the kitchen.This made Mrs. Dalton confused. She wondered what was going on.She followed Roderick into the kitchen and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, Roderick? You look disorganized."Roderick sighed deeply. How could he explain to the woman that he had performed a ritual on the sick old man to bring him back to life?Such information would be too much for the woman to comprehend. Besides, his identity as the miracle doctor might be leaked.Roderick didn't say anything in response when his eyes fell on the clock, and the time was already exactly 30 minutes past.Aside from that, one of the things to be avoided during the treatment of the patient is noise. Another thing is that the incense must be ext

    After Roderick had made arrangements for all the rare roots he had collected, he went straight to Oliver Santos' apartment.He was welcomed by Mrs. Dalton as soon as he entered."I got this for you. I hope you like them," Roderick said, handing the bags of groceries to the middle-aged woman."Oh! I like them all. Thank you for checking in, Roderick," the lady appreciated.Roderick waved a hand and said, "I'm not here for a quick visit, Mrs. Dalton. I'm here to spend the whole day with you.""That's not true..." The lady didn't want to believe it."You should know I don't joke with my words. To show you how serious I am, here’s enough money. I want you to go to the local market and get some fresh vegetables for soup. It's been a while since I’ve had such a good meal."The lady couldn’t believe Roderick meant what he said as she picked up the cash he dropped on the table.Then, she quickly said to him in the midst of her surprise, "I will be on my way to the market now, and I promise no

    Roderick stared at the two fools before him, having had enough of their delusional drama, and said to them,"I think you can get out of my way now, as you have reached the end of your drama."What?!Clara's head immediately heated up. She wasn’t ready to take things lightly with Roderick."After Mr. Onward chose to spare you, is that the trash you have to say?!"Douglas instantly interrupted. "No, it's no trouble, Mrs. Santos. We can still handle this like adults."The gentleman, Douglas, reached into his pocket and handed a business card, stretching it forward to Roderick."Your bumper must have been damaged from the impact of the collision. Send the bill to any of the phone numbers on the card, and it will be settled."No! Clara could never stand by and watch this happen.Instantly, she said to Douglas, "Mr. Onward, why do you have to cover his bill when he was the one at fault?"A small smile appeared on Douglas's face as he answered, "You don't have to see it that way, Mrs. Santos

    Roderick's face twisted in total disgust. Out of all people, he never expected the person who had crashed into him to be his ex-mother-in-law.He knew Clara for nothing other than foolishness, and at this moment, Roderick did not have time for that.Clara, on the other hand, had her face light up upon discovering that it was Roderick.She didn't know if she should storm off or dance for an hour before responding to the fool before her.After what had happened between them the other night at the Flytime Cinema, Clara had been looking for an opportunity to embarrass Roderick publicly.Luckily for her, she finally got a chance now.Clara placed her hands on her hips, showing how obviously ready she was for a fight."So, it's really you, Roderick? Have you gone blind that you can't watch out before reversing? Huh?"Clara's madness was boiling as she pointed at the car she had stepped down from—a S-Class Mercedes-Benz. "Take a look at this car. Do you know how much it costs? You can never

    Meanwhile, at this moment, Roderick was heading to Glacia City in his car, cruising with a heart filled with joy.What other joy beats getting closer to your journey for revenge?The only thing surprising him now was why he hadn't realized that South City would be so helpful in obtaining the rare roots he had been searching for all this time.In the end, he concluded that it was simply fate.All that mattered now was that he had been able to get all the rare roots he needed, and treating Oliver Santos was his next course of action.An hour later, Roderick arrived in Glacia City and was driving past Tuchel Avenue.He had just glanced at their ongoing project when he looked across the street and saw a familiar face in the distance. It was none other than Caleb Houston.He saw Caleb shaking hands with some men dressed in well-tailored suits.
