(Three days later)

The time Vironix gave to Fiona was already exhausted. Fiona kept pacing around the meeting room. It was over. Vironix has called and asked that Fiona hand over the patent already.

She trusted Jasper, but she wasn't sure if Jasper could help now. To make matters worse, Jasper wasn't here yet.

“I thought ‘Mr. I know what to do’ said he'd be here in three days time with solutions?” Mr Han asked.

“He will." Bai Zhe replied immediately knowing that Jasper was just running late and didn't plan to back out as the shareholders were thinking.

“Then where is he?" Royce asked. His eyes fuming in anger.

Fiona didn't bother to speak. She was deep in thought as she paced. The only person that could calm her down now is Jasper. She doesn't wish to hand over the formula to them nor does she plan to share their profits with Vironix.

“After claiming he would handle the matter himself, he decided to run. I knew it. I knew that good for nothing—*

  • Miracle doctor

    During the morning session, the country was already awake with the breaking news. The spread of the news was swift,fast, faster than most rumors, and this time it wasn’t something people laughed about. A miracle doctor. A man who said he could cure anything. And the source was one of the most reputable hospitals in the region, so people had no reason to doubt. They believed without hesitation.Families started moving before sunset, some carrying bags, some pushing relatives in wheelchairs, some holding children who looked too tired to lift their own heads up. No one cared about how they looked. No one cared about the money. Illness made everything else small and less important.The hospital staff hadn’t expected such a crowd. By 6 a.m., the waiting hall was full. By 7 a.m., the entrance walkway was blocked. By 8 a.m., people were standing outside the gate, forming lines that stretched down the road. Some even sat on the curb, refusing to leave. They feared moving away might make them

  • Tenfolds

    After a couple of hours Jasper had finished treating the patients, meanwhile,The doctors had been waiting outside the room, whispering among themselves. When the door opened and Jasper stepped out, they all stood staring at each other.Zoey walked up to him immediately. “You’re done?”Jasper nodded once. “Yes. You can take the bandages off later. His breathing will stabilize once he wakes up.”The head doctor exhaled in relief. “Thank you. We were already preparing for the worst.”Jasper didn’t respond to that. He only glanced at Zoey, then at the group of doctors watching him like they were afraid he would disappear.“I want the hospital to release a statement,” Jasper said. “Tell everyone I’ll be taking patients for only three days.”The head doctor looked confused. “Three days?”“Yes. Only three days.” Jasper continued walking and they followed behind him. “And I want rare cases. Not the usual ones.”Another doctor adjusted his glasses. “Rare cases?”“Yes.” Jasper didn’t slow down.

  • My treatment

    Jasper didn’t linger after the call ended. He packed lightly, locked the door behind him, and headed straight for the airport. The airport wasn’t crowded, just busy enough for him to blend in. He boarded the plane with the same calm he carried everywhere, took his seat, and closed his eyes. The flight would be long, but he didn’t mind. A few hours of silence wasn’t a punishment for him. It was rest.When the plane finally touched down, the sun was already dipping behind the city buildings. He walked out of the terminal with a small bag over his shoulder, scanning the crowd.He didn’t have to look far.Zoey spotted him first.“There you are!” she called, practically bouncing as she waved both hands in the air. She rushed toward him before he could respond. “You didn’t even tell me you’d land early.”“I said I was coming. You should’ve guessed,” Jasper replied, the corner of his mouth lifting.Zoey grabbed his arm, tugging him toward the parking lot. “Come on. There’s something I need

  • Another trip

    The ride back was quiet. None of them spoke for the first few minutes, the city moving past in soft blurs of gray and gold. The tension that had filled the meeting hall still clung to the air, like smoke that refused to fade. Fiona sat in the back seat beside Jasper, her gaze fixed on the window, phone resting in her hand. Bai Zhe drove, his focus steady on the road ahead.They had won. Everyone in that room had seen it. But victories like this never felt clean—they came with a kind of stillness that didn’t settle right away.Jasper leaned back in his seat, one arm resting on the window ledge, his expression unreadable. The world outside carried on as though nothing had happened, people walking, lights flickering on in shops, cars passing by. For them, it was an ordinary day. For him, it was just another quiet ending to a long list of battles.When they reached Aurora MedTech, Fiona finally turned to Jasper.“Thank you,” she said quietly.He didn’t look at her, only nodded once. “You

  • Reporters

    "I came with reporters,” Jasper said. The words landed like a hammer. Papers rustled. Someone tried to smile and failed. Fiona didn’t flinch. She had already calculated how bad this could get. Across the table, Zhou Hao, who had his arms crossed, face smug, leaned back with a lazy grin that screamed overconfidence, not control. “You what?” someone barked. “Yes,” Jasper said. “Reporters. Cameras. Questions. I’ve already told them the story.” That drained the color from more than one face. Zhou Hao scoffed loud enough for everyone to hear. “Oh please,” Zhou said. “What story could you possibly tell that anyone still cares about? You’ve been finished since your little empire crumbled.” Jasper’s gaze slid toward him, “You talk too much, Zhou.” That simple reply turned heads. “I’ll tell them Vironix is a bully,” Jasper went on, his tone steady. The room stirred. The shareholders had arrived ready to posture, but Jasper’s calm was heavier than any threat. Zhou Hao snorted, “Bully?

  • The meeting!

    The drive to Vironix was a quiet one. Jasper sat in the back seat, one hand resting against the window, the other tapping lightly on his knee. His gaze stayed forward, calm, unreadable.Fiona sat at the front, spine straight, eyes sharp despite the sleepless night while Bai Zhe drove, saying nothing. The tension between them wasn’t discomfort; it was anticipation. The kind that hums before a storm.By the time they arrived, the Vironix building above them. The guards at the entrance didn’t stop them; they didn’t need to. Their names had already been written into the meeting schedule. An appointment that would decide who bowed, and who broke.Inside, the receptionist led them through a corridor lined with framed patents and hollow awards. Jasper walked behind the others, his calmness was precise and deliberate.The conference room was at the end of the hall, its door tall. Fiona entered first. A dozen eyes turned her way, belonging to men and women who carried their wealth like armor.
