2024-03-23 23:28:16With a tempest of emotions raging within him, Calvin stormed back to Lizzie's hospital room, his heart pounding with anxiety and anger.
His mind is full with how to find a good doctor who will treat his sister. He was half regret his decision of not signing the divorce paper for his sister’s sake.
However, just as he burst into the room, his eyes widened in disbelief at the sight of another patient occupying the space where his sister should have been.
The shock sent a wave of panic coursing through him, and he frantically scanned the room, searching for any trace of Lizzie.
Where was his sister?!
Spotting a nurse hurrying past in the corridor, Calvin lunged forward, desperation evident in his voice as he called out to her.
"Wait! What happened to my sister? Where is she?" he demanded, his tone a mix of fear and frustration.
The nurse, preoccupied with her duties, turned to face Calvin with a look of mild irritation. "Mr. Hudson, I am sure you know what happened. . Your sister's room had to be vacated due to unpaid bills," she replied matter-of-factly, her voice lacking any hint of sympathy.
Calvin's fury ignited at the nurse's indifferent response. "Unpaid bills? But we were trying to arrange the payment! Where have you taken her?" he pressed, his hands trembling with agitation.
The nurse's expression remained unchanged as she interrupted and reiterated the hospital's policy. "I'm sorry, sir, but I don't have that information. You'll need to speak to the billing department," she replied curtly, already moving to attend to another task.
Feeling a surge of frustration and helplessness, Calvin's desperation turned to anger as he attempted to push past the nurse to search for his sister.
“Where is my sister? You cannot just throw her away!” he exclaimed.
However, before he could take another step, security personnel intervened.
“Sir, you should leave right now!” their stern voices demanding that he cease his disruptive behavior and leave the area immediately.
Defeated but undeterred, Calvin reluctantly allowed himself to be escorted away, his mind racing with worry about Lizzie's safety.
With each passing moment, his anxiety intensified, driving him to frantically search every nook and cranny of the hospital in a desperate attempt to locate her.
“Lizzie! Lizzie!” he called.
As he made his way towards the elevator, hoping to descend to the lower floors in search of his sister, Calvin's heart sank at the sight of the crowded carriage. Realizing he couldn't wait, he turned towards the emergency staircase, his steps quickening with a sense of urgency.
But in his haste, disaster struck.
With a sudden slip, Calvin lost his footing on the stairs, his hand instinctively reaching out to steady himself. However, the sharp edge of a step sliced through his skin, leaving a deep gash that began to bleed profusely. Grimacing in pain, Calvin gritted his teeth and pressed on, his determination to find Lizzie outweighing the physical agony he now endured.
“Dammit!”
As Calvin descended the stairs, each step echoed with the pounding of his heart, the rhythm of his fear. “Oh no! What fell from above?”
Reaching the ground floor, Calvin heard a voice yelling and was met with a scene of chaos.
The atrium was quickly filled with a throng of people, their voices a cacophony of concern and alarm.
“What happened?”
He heard a few people asking but no one answered due to the chaos.
“She suddenly fell!” someone said.
Desperation clawed at Calvin's chest as he pushed through the crowd, his eyes frantically searching for answers amidst the turmoil.
"What's going on?" he exclaimed, his voice quivering with fear as he pleaded for information.
A bystander turned towards him, their face etched with worry. "Someone fell from the second floor," they replied, their words landing heavily in Calvin's mind like a lead weight.
Dread settled over Calvin like a suffocating blanket as he approached the balcony railing, his gaze fixed on the scene below. With a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, he spotted a figure lying motionless on the pavement, the sight sending a shiver down his spine.
Driven by a primal instinct, Calvin bolted out into the courtyard, his mind a whirlwind of panic and disbelief. The air was thick with the sounds of frantic shouting and pleading, the crowd's collective fear palpable as they gathered around the fallen figure.
Heart pounding in his chest, Calvin fought his way through the throng, his eyes never leaving the form lying prone on the ground.
With each step, his dread mounted, his thoughts consumed by a desperate prayer for his sister's safety, a plea that echoed in the depths of his soul.

The Legacy of a Mortal God
The world eventually quieted down.Months had passed since the bloodshed that once tore cities apart. The chaos that had claimed so many lives finally faded into a distant, painful memory. People began rebuilding, though scars remained—on their streets, in their minds, and within their hearts.But far from the ruins and noise, tucked behind the misty cliffs of an unmarked country, a hospital stood as a symbol of peace.A sanctuary.The private hospital gifted to Calvin Hudson by the cartel had transformed beyond what anyone could have imagined. Now called Sanctuary of the Living, it was a place of healing—for the poor, the broken, even for enemies. Criminals, refugees, even soldiers from warring factions had walked through its doors. No one was turned away. All were treated.Not because Calvin sought to be a hero. But because he had chosen to be human.A plaque outside the entrance read:"A healer does not jud
Born in the Midst of Fire and Steel
It was not a day for peace.That morning, Calvin was summoned personally by the cartel boss. There was no room for confusion in the man’s voice—only steel and urgency.“Ride with me,” the boss ordered. “Stay in the mobile unit. If things go south, you’re our last line of survival.”Without hesitation, Calvin complied. He packed his equipment, activated the system’s portable diagnostic modules, and climbed into the armored vehicle. The air was thick with tension, almost metallic, as though the world itself held its breath for what was about to unfold.A rival cartel had crossed the border.This wasn’t a mere scuffle between street gangs. It was an organized invasion, brutal and calculated, meant to topple the empire Calvin now served as its chief medic. The dangerous nation's cartel was feared across borders, their influence reaching into the highest corridors of power. But today, they were under
A Shield in the Shadows
They had waited for what felt like forever. The room was silent except for the occasional beep from the monitoring devices. Calvin stood still, arms crossed, his eyes fixed on the system display that projected the patients’ vital signs. He had commanded the system to track every minute fluctuation—no anomaly was to be missed.And finally, after hours of tense waiting, the system let out a soft chime.Ding![Alert: Patient neurological response activity detected. Signs of consciousness imminent.]A small smile crept onto Calvin’s lips. He turned to the cartel boss and said calmly, “They’re waking up.”The man stiffened. “What?”“They’re regaining consciousness,” Calvin repeated, this time with unmistakable joy.Without a second thought, the cartel boss pushed past his guards and stepped closer to the pair of patients lying unconscious just minutes ago. His heart pounded
The Hidden Room
What had started as a lie was quickly unraveling into a strange truth.Hugo had only fabricated the story about Calvin needing to save someone—just to satisfy the cartel boss’s demands and convince Calvin to leave. But as their convoy pulled into the heart of the cartel’s stronghold, Hugo realized with a creeping sense of unease that the boss’s insistence on bringing Calvin had not been a bluff.Not at all.Calvin, Christina, and Hugo were immediately separated from the rest of the crew and led through a long corridor, far beneath the central estate. The guards remained silent, their expressions grave. Surveillance cameras tracked every step. The deeper they went, the colder the air became, and the more Hugo noticed how even high-ranking members of the cartel were forbidden to follow.“This way,” the boss said grimly, taking the lead.They arrived at a heavy steel door hidden behind what looked like a plain wall
Echoes and Ultimatums
Hugo sat alone in a dimly lit bar, the air thick with smoke and bitterness. The flickering television above the counter droned on with urgent tones, and all eyes were on the screen.Footage of Calvin—bloodied, exhausted, hunched beside burnt debris—played over and over again like a cruel loop. Sirens wailed in the background, medics rushed through smoke, and Calvin’s white coat was stained with soot and blood. His face looked haunted.“From a hero… to a disgrace,” the news anchor declared, their tone drenched in drama.Gasps, scoffs, and curses erupted from the patrons.“Serves him right,” one muttered. “So much for the golden doctor.”“Overhyped, if you ask me,” another said, slamming his glass on the counter. “Couldn’t even keep his clinic from burning down.”A man near the door hurled a beer bottle at the screen. It shattered on impact, drawing laug
The Man at the Balcony
The days that followed the fire were a blur of funerals, tears, and headlines soaked with outrage.Calvin took responsibility for everything.He paid for every funeral. For the coffins, for the flowers, for the burial rites. He ensured every grieving family received not only condolences but support—monthly stipends, medical coverage, and in the case of parents who perished, full educational funding for their children until college. No media outlet reported it. Calvin never held a press conference. He didn’t want applause.He wanted to grieve.But the world wouldn’t let him do it in peace.Online forums, social media feeds, news anchors—all began calling him a “fallen hero,” a “disgraced doctor,” and for some, “a murderer in a white coat.”"Why didn't he protect them if he had powers?""Why was the clinic so easy to burn?""Was this all a setup? Did Calvin stage this?"<
