James slammed his fist down on his desk, sending papers, pens, and other office supplies flying in all directions. The loud thud echoed through the room, a physical manifestation of his seething anger. He stood there, chest heaving, as the realization that he had unwittingly sold his prized tower to Calvin Hudson gnawed at him. The bitter taste of defeat lingered in his mouth, making him feel nauseous.

"How could this happen?" James muttered to himself, pacing back and forth in his opulent office. "Calvin Hudson, of all people!"

He couldn't wrap his mind around it. How could Calvin, a man he had always regarded as insignificant and destitute, afford to buy an entire tower? Where did he get the money from? James's mind raced, desperately searching for answers.

"It doesn't make any sense," he murmured, stopping to stare out the window. The skyline of the city seemed to mock him. It wasn't just the financial aspect that baffled him; it was Calvin's sudden transformation. The man who had

    As night fell, Calvin arrived home, the house quiet and Lizzie still absent. He smiled, thinking of his sister and hoping she had met a nice man who could one day make her happy. Calvin headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner, but as he began gathering ingredients, the front door creaked open, and Lizzie walked in."You're home early," Calvin remarked, glancing at the clock. "It's still pretty early in the evening."Lizzie sighed, her shoulders slumping as she made her way to the kitchen. "I was tired and just wanted to come home," she said, her voice heavy with fatigue.She approached the kitchen counter, watching Calvin as he worked. "Let me take care of dinner," she offered. "You’ve had a long day."Calvin shook his head, waving her off with a gentle smile. "No need, Lizzie. I've got it. You should go rest."Lizzie's lack of enthusiasm was palpable. Concerned, Calvin asked, "Is something wrong?"She hesitated before answering, "I think the guy I liked only sees me as a friend. He b

    Calvin's fingers hovered over the screen, ready to end the call. The voice on the other end was shaky, desperate, laced with a venom that only despair can brew. He could hear the ragged breaths, the suppressed sobs that spoke of nights without sleep, days filled with worry."You don't understand, Calvin. Because of what you've done, someone could die."Calvin's jaw clenched, his teeth grinding against the frustration building within him. His thumb hovered, ready to disconnect. "I'm hanging up.""No, wait!" The voice on the other end rose, a mix of pleading and anger, a last-ditch effort to be heard. "You’ve taken away my only source of income. I can’t afford my son’s medical bills now. He’s going to be kicked out of the hospital. Do you hear me? My son!"Calvin froze, his hand trembling slightly. A cold realization settled over him, seeping into his bones. This wasn't just some random caller. The morning's events replayed in his mind—the manager at the real estate office, his sneering

He paused by Lizzie’s room, watching her sleep peacefully, and felt a renewed sense of determination.He grabbed his keys and headed out, the city streets still quiet in the early morning light. As he drove towards Lang Hospital, he thought about the boy—Oliver Jackson—and the life that hung in the balance. This was more than a chance to right a wrong; it was an opportunity to make a real difference.Arriving at the hospital, Calvin walked with purpose to the front desk. The nurse looked up, surprised to see someone so early.As Calvin approached the reception desk, the receptionist's eyes widened in recognition. Her posture stiffened, and she glanced nervously around the quiet hospital lobby."Mr. Hudson," she said in a hushed tone, "you really shouldn't be here. Dr. Kevin Lang will be furious if he finds out you've been allowed in."Calvin sig

    Thomas watched in stunned silence, his breath catching in his throat as he saw the glow envelop his son. The light emanating from Calvin’s hands bathed Oliver in a gentle, pulsating warmth, casting a soft, ethereal glow around the room. It was as if the very air hummed with a strange, comforting energy, a resonance that seemed to calm both Thomas and his son.“The tumor on his stomach is not only one. There’s more underneath,” Calvin said, his voice a low murmur filled with concentration.“W-what? The doctor never said that. And how do you know he had a tumor? I never mention it,” Thomas stammered, his eyes widening in shock and fear.“It’s difficult to see, even with sophisticated technology,” Calvin answered calmly, his focus unwavering. “But I can feel them. I can see them in a way the machines cannot.”Thomas felt a chill run down his spine, the gravity of Calvin’s words sinking in. He watched as Calvin’s face tightened with effort, the glow from his hands intensifying. Calvin's e

"I'll be out of here in a minute."As Calvin began to walk towards the exit, a few people in the hallway recognized him. "That's Calvin Hudson," someone whispered. "The super doctor."Word spread quickly. Some of the patients who had been discharged from Lang Hospital, unsuccessful in their treatments and disillusioned by the rumors of the hospital’s declining reputation, saw Calvin and started to gather around him. Their eyes were filled with hope and desperation.One brave soul stepped forward, a middle-aged woman with tired eyes and a frail frame. "Mr. Hudson, where can we find you? Can we come to your clinic?"The crowd around Calvin grew larger, murmurs of curiosity and hope rippling through the group. People were eager, their faces a mix of desperation and belief. They pressed in closer, seeking answers and help.Kevin Lang's face twisted with fury. "Get out! This is my hospital! Securi

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   What Did You Say?

    The nurse hurried off, leaving Thomas standing in the lobby. Around him, murmurs of curiosity and concern filled the air. Kevin Lang’s actions had left everyone on edge.Minutes later, a doctor arrived, his expression cautious. "Mr. Jackson, I understand your concern, but we need to ensure Oliver's recovery is complete."Thomas led the doctor to Oliver’s room. The doctor performed a quick examination, his frown deepening with each positive result. Finally, he sighed and turned to Thomas. "It seems your son is indeed in remarkable condition. If you truly believe he’s ready to leave, we won't stop you."Thomas nodded, grateful but still resolute. "Thank you, doctor. I appreciate your understanding."Returning to the reception desk, Thomas finalized the discharge paperwork. "I'll pay whatever I owe," he said, pulling out his wallet. "Just tell me the amount."The nurse calculated the remaining balance and handed Thomas the bill. He handed over the money, his heart heavy but his spirit li

And right then, Kevin's stomach sank. Reluctantly, he answered the call, pushing the answer button, ready to face the storm."KEVIN!" the voice roared off the speaker, full of anger and disappointment. "What in the name of God have you done? A video is doing rounds that you broke that vase in our hospital lobby! Ouch. Now, everybody has seen how empty our hospital is! Cybercitizens are declaring you nuts! Do you have any idea how much you've sullied our image just because of your stupid pranks?"Kevin bit his jaw, gnawing at it to hold back tears, gripping the phone just that much more tightly.

    Calvin could already feel what this place would do: rejuvenate and bring peace to the people who needed it. Calvin presented his minute and stood back to look at the progress he had created. And there was the clinic, nearly ready to be in use. Satisfied, he felt, but he knew pretty well that the real work was tomorrow. It was Tina, coming up to him like a shadow with a clipboard."Everything's on track, Mr. Hudson. We've had a fabulous response from the medical community. Your reputation helps."Calvin laughed quietly. "A reputation, I hope, for the right kind of things.""Yes, it is," Tina assured."Everyone here believes in what you are doing."Again, Calvins, now with an opportunity and chutzpah, nodded. "Make sure we prepare for tomorrow. Everything should be perfect."To this which Calvin saw a vision, an assignment of working into the sunset, with a shared objective of making a difference.

  • Dream

    The night air felt cold, piercing Calvin's skin even though his body was wrapped in a thick, warm blanket. The chill came from a dream slowly dragging him back to a childhood he had nearly forgotten.In his dream, Calvin stood in the hallway of his old house. The white walls had begun to yellow, and the carpet on the floor looked worn. He heard the soft laughter of his younger self, probably around seven years old. Moments later, he saw little Calvin running around aimlessly before he collided with a young woman carrying a cup of tea."Calvin, don't run around the house! It's dangerous if this hot tea spills on you," the woman gently scolded. Her face was warm. Her hair was loosely tied back, and her eyes looked at Calvin with a tenderness that always made him feel safe.Mom... adult Calvin whispered in his heart. His blood rushed at the sight of his mother and hearing her voice again—the voice that had long disappeared from his memory—filling his chest with a tight, aching longing."

  • It Should’ve Exploded

    A subordinate knelt before President Lee, the supreme leader of Han Xin, who sat on his throne and looked down at the man with a haughty expression. “What news do you bring me this time?” he said mockingly.The atmosphere in the room was suffocating and tense, filled with the cruel aura that emanated from President Lee—even when the tyrant wasn’t committing any atrocities.“Forgive me, my lord. Calvin is still alive, and he survived the plane crash with ease,” the man explained timidly.President Lee’s face immediately hardened. His eyes darkened, and his fists clenched tightly. “You couldn’t even kill a cockroach?” he hissed sharply. “Are you sure you did your job properly?”The subordinate didn’t dare answer directly. He bowed even lower, almost as if trying to disappear into the floor. His knees trembled violently, and cold sweat began to drip from his temples. His breath was ragged, unable to bear the burning gaze of President Lee. His courage shrank to nothing—even though the Pre

  • Rebirth of Bacca

    Destroyed buildings from the war greeted Calvin at every step as he walked through the city of Bacca. Debris was scattered everywhere. Barrion—his homeland—was now free from the tyrannical rule of Han Xin... but the remnants of destruction were overwhelming.Calvin's steps halted at a vast field, once known as the city center. Around him, nothing remained but rubble and charred pillars. His eyes swept over the scene, his expression difficult to read."I'll start by rebuilding the houses and structures in this area first," Calvin said."Please do, Sir," replied the President, who stood not far from him, nodding respectfully and giving Calvin the space to do as he wished.Without a word, Calvin stepped forward. He knelt down, pressing his palm against the ground. Instantly, the earth trembled, compacted itself, and began to rise, forming solid buildings with supernatural precision. Wooden elements emerged from the soil, weaving into walls, rooftops, and sturdy pillars, creating rows of

  • The Rise of Barrion's Guardian

    The plane began to shake more violently. Emergency alarms wailed incessantly, making the atmosphere even more tense. Passengers—including two government representatives from Barrion—screamed, some cried, others clung to their seatbelts as if they could save them from death.Meanwhile, Calvin remained calmly seated, though his body shook along with the turbulence. His eyes focused on the window, then on a flight attendant who ran past the cabin aisle in panic.“The cabin's losing pressure! Navigation system failure!” came the pilot’s voice from the cockpit.Calvin slowly stood, walking toward the front, keeping his balance with effort.“Open the door,” he ordered sharply upon reaching the cockpit.“We’re trying!” The co-pilot looked pale. “The main engine is completely dead, we—”“If we panic, we die. Stick to the plan. You head toward the nearest airport for an emergency landing. I’ll help as much as I can—just focus on landing the plane safely.” Calvin stared at the wildly blinking s

  • The Price of Pride

    Calvin’s name suddenly exploded across various social media platforms. A clip of him calmly but devastatingly shutting down the shareholders' arguments during yesterday’s meeting went viral and trended within hours. What impressed the public the most was how Calvin managed to leave Kevin Lang completely speechless after enduring a series of insults. People began praising Calvin even more as a medical god with the heart of an angel.Meanwhile, far from the media spotlight, Kevin was sitting in a treatment room at Lang Hospital. His hands trembled as a nurse finished reattaching his severed pinky. The pain from Calvin’s brutal and unexpected act of cutting off his finger was unbearable—but the most excruciating pain wasn’t in his finger. It was in his pride. Kevin’s ego was shattered by the fact that he had to go to Calvin and beg him to return the severed piece.“This is all that bastard Calvin’s fault, Dad!” Kevin growled, his voice shaking with emotion. “He dared to humiliate me—me,

  • Use The Card!

    Laughter echoed throughout the meeting room. All eyes were fixed on Calvin with judgmental and mocking gazes.“This is the first time I’ve seen a genius doctor turn out to be a mental patient. How could Miss Alana bring someone in the middle of a hallucination phase?” they scolded.“I’m sure that’s just a card he picked up on the street. Shouldn’t you return it to its owner? You won’t be able to use it anyway!” mocked another as they burst into laughter.They brutally trampled on Calvin’s dignity, treating him like a filthy sewer rat that deserved to be a laughingstock.“Hahaha!” Calvin suddenly let out a dry laugh, echoing their cheerful cackles and instantly silencing them in confusion. “You’re laughing at me, but are you sure your money is clean? This card is mine, and the money in it is mine. I use it with peace of mind because it’s clean. But I doubt any of you feel as calm as I do,” Calvin said, throwing their mockery back at them.“No matter how much money is in your fake card,

  • What Could You Do?

    "Perry Pharmacy did something incredibly foolish. After this disaster, what are you going to do to cover our massive losses? We won’t accept just an apology in a situation like this," said one of the shareholders, his voice laced with anger he tried to suppress, though the sarcasm in his tone was hard to miss.That night, the Perry family had gathered for an important meeting. All shareholders and members of the board of directors filled the meeting room seats, their faces gloomy and angry.The atmosphere in the room was unbearably tense, especially for the Perry family, who had now lost face."Can we start this meeting and hear how this madness happened?""The Perry family is completely incompetent at managing a simple business like this. You’ve destroyed our trust and our money. Utterly foolish!"All the fury was directed at the Perry family, prompting Beatrice, James, and Giana to immediately glare at Alana with sharp eyes."This is all Alana’s fault," James hissed. "She’s the one

  • Sell Your Body

    "You cancel the agreement and I will be willing to pay for your losses. I truly have no energy left to keep facing your insane obsession with me, Alana," Calvin said tiredly. "Besides, I never wanted this marriage in the first place."Alana was stunned to hear Calvin's words. She never expected a man like him to be so cruel to her."Don’t joke around, Calvin. How could you possibly afford to cover all my losses if you cancel our marriage agreement?" Alana asked in disbelief."So you still underestimate me even after everything that’s happened, Alana," Calvin sneered. "Is it because I’m poor that you’ve always treated me like dirt—even now? You’ve been so harsh because your obsession with me stems from a sense of superiority over a poor man like me.""That’s not what I meant, Calvin. You misunderstood," Alana said in a panic, trying to explain. "I never looked down on you, no matter your situation. I just want to marry you and leave all the problems in this city behind, that’s all. I c

  • I’ll Pay

    Alana fell silent, disappointed to hear her family so strongly opposed her decision to marry Calvin. She had hoped they would be happy for her and help make her dreams come true.“Aren’t you ashamed to marry a man who was once just your contract husband, sis?” Giana scolded, eyeing Alana skeptically. “Like James said, you're doing something pointless. Just give up. Your engagement was called off, and that alone humiliated not just you, but our whole family in front of all those important guests,” she added sharply.Alana remained silent, her fists clenched tightly, holding back her anger and sadness.“Sweetheart, you should go see Kevin instead of insisting on marrying Calvin again,” Beatrice said gently, her voice calm. “This isn't about the company, it's about you. Instead of forcing yourself to be Calvin’s bride, I want you to marry a man who truly loves you—and I see that in Kevin.”“She’s right. Go see Kevin and talk to him,” James added firmly.“You're unbelievable,” Alana whisp
