The words hit like a thunderclap.

Every head in the room snapped toward Adam.

Their gazes were filled with disbelief, disdain, as if they were staring at a clown desperate for attention.

Dr. Shaun’s diagnosis had already been personally acknowledged by Lord Clinton himself.

And yet this lowborn piece of trash actually dared to contradict him?

Erik was the first to explode.

“What the hell are you?” he roared.

“You think you know better than the greatest doctor in this entire region?”

Clinton’s expression also darkened in an instant.

His gray eyes turned cold as stone, but he remained silent.

Dr. Shaun noticed it immediately.

With a slow, deliberate flick of his sleeves, he turned toward Adam.

A cold snort escaped him, his lips curling into a mocking smile.

“Oh?” he said coolly. “So you’re that confident?”

“Are you saying my diagnosis is wrong?” His eyes narrowed. “That you—of all people—can cure Lord Leonardo?”

“Yes,” Adam replied, his tone perfectly calm.

    A young man, no more than his early teens, shouted in shock from within the crowd.Everyone instinctively turned, following his gaze.On the bed, Lord Leonardo Alessandro stirred. His eyelids fluttered, then it opened.The cloudiness in his eyes faded as he slowly took in his surroundings.The whole room froze.For a heartbeat, no one could move.Marco and Erik exchanged a look with Dr. Shaun, and in each other’s eyes they saw the same disbelief.How was this possible?An illness that had left every renowned expert utterly helpless, now cured by a lowly vagrant?! The Alessandro family rushed forward in a wave. They crowded around the bed, hands hovering, faces wet with tears and wild relief, voices overlapping with anxious questions and joyous exclamations.Clinton Alessandro froze for a moment, then turned toward Adam.He stepped closer and the crowd parted without a word.“Sir,” he said solemnly, his voice low but steady. “I was wrong. Please forgive the offense.” “May I have

    Dr. Shaun charged forward, taking the lead. Without a word, he yanked the gold needles from old Leonardo’s body one by one. The needles hit the floor with sharp metallic clinks. Adam frowned. Deep lines cut his forehead. “Can’t you see I was saving him?” he said coldly. “He will wake up any moment now.” Dr. Shaun snnered, his eyes brimmed with contempt as he snapped, “Nonsense! You insolent brute! How dare you claim you were saving him?"“Wake up?” He mocked coldly. “Who do you think you are? God?” Just then, a middle-aged man next to Dr Shaun saw Olivia, surprise flickering across his face.“Look who’s here,” he said, his tone dripped with mockery, “Isn’t this Olivia Vatican, the CEO of Vatican Pharmaceutical?”“Don’t tell me this filthy nobody is the ‘doctor’ you brought?” he said, letting out a sneer.The man speaking was none other than Marco Johnson, the CEO of Johnson Pharmaceutique, Vatican Pharmaceutical’s sworn rival, and Erik’s older brother.Olivia folded her arm

    “I’ve already made my decision,” she said. Don’s laughter cut off abruptly.Seeing that his sister was dead serious, panic crept in. “Sis! Have you lost your mind from the kidnap?”“Even if Dr. Shaun turned on us at the last minute, we can’t just drag some random homeless in to make up the numbers, can we?!” Another member also stepped forward, with a frown on his face. “Don is right. We cannot just send a random person to muddle through this. You’ll turn us into a laughingstock. Worse still, we’ll completely offend the Alessandros.” “Yeah, if the Alessandros think we’re treating Lord Leonardo’s life lightly and take their anger out on us, then we’re finished!” Don added anxiously.As he spoke, his eyes burned as he looked down at Adam with blatant disdain. He ripped his wallet from his pocket, flipped it open and pulled out a thick stack of dollars. “You saved my sister. Take this. Consider it your reward.”He flung the money straight at Adam. The bills hit Adam’s chest,

    Chapter 9.Olivia’s face remained clouded with doubt. Just as she was searching for a way to decline, Adam caught the hesitation in her eyes.He raised his hands and shot forward like a striking snake. His fingertips pressed quick and sure against her lower belly—three sharp taps, as precise as needles.She stiffened, heat flooded had cheeks. Her hands flew up, ready to shove him back, words already forming on her tongue—”What the hell are you doing? This is way out of line!”But then— it hit.A soft, golden warmth bloomed deep inside her, spreading slow and steady through the cramped muscles that had tormented her for more than two years. The cruel, twisting stab that always lived there simply... melted away.Her raised hands froze mid-air. Eyes glistening, she stared down at where Adam’s fingers had been. She pressed her palms flat against her lower belly, bracing for the familiar pain.Nothing. Her eyes snapped up to Adam. "H...how...?" Those few quick taps—nothing more—an

    His fingers tightened on the trigger, but before he could fire, Adam's hand shot forward like a bolt of lightning. He snatched the weapon away, flicked it deftly around his finger, then smashed the heavy grip straight into the bridge of Erik's nose.Erik snarled in pain, his head snapped to the side. Blood trickled from his nose and the corner of his lip.“Get lost!” Adam said coldly. “Point a gun at me again, and I won’t hesitate to put a bullet in you first!”The icy glare in Adam's eyes sent a chill straight through Erik's core. Whatever arrogance he'd clung to evaporated in an instant, leaving only raw fear.Erik didn’t hang around for another word.Clutched his throbbing face, blood seeping between his fingers, he scrambled into the GLE beside Dr. Shaun. The door slammed shut with a heavy thud. Heart pounding, Erik floored the accelerator.As the car tore out of the parking lot, he twisted around and glared at Adam through the rearview mirror, burning the man's face into his
