Chapter 451
At that exact moment, the security guards that had left earlier returned. Commissioner Doyle was seated almost lifelessly on a medical wheelchair, his bald head dangling helplessly to the side. His entire visible body was heavily covered in angry, inflamed red welts, his skin already beginning to stretch and crack as though perfectly mimicking the horrifying early stages of the two patients that had been miraculously cured just now, though his specific case had not yet worsened to their level of deep, rotting infection.The one pushing the wheelchair was not one of the armed bodyguards, but rather the middle-aged head nurse of the General Hospital, while the Ainsworth guards surrounded them closely and protectively.“Paula, what on earth are you doing?” the elderly head doctor almost barked from the ground where he still remained, even though Jared Stonewell and his terrifying entourage had already left.Grace also had a visibly shocked expression on her face as she looked at her gran

“That is literally impossible...” Grace’s expression tensed up in disbelief as she added, “Even the Stonewells had needed our Ainsworths’ help to save their faces multiple times in the past. Then—”Eleanor interrupted her kindly, her voice smooth and unbothered. “That was then, Grace. Things are distinctly different now, and it is wise if we do not rush blindly at things. Reacting hastily will only give them a convenient excuse to start a direct war with our Great Family. Let us just get Doyle out of here first.” She turned slightly to the heavily armed bodyguards standing at attention behind them and commanded, “Get the Commissioner. We are leaving.”The guards hurried away quickly in the direction of the private wards, while Adam Wexler hurriedly closed the distance toward Eleanor and Grace Ainsworth.“Eleanor, are we truly going to let Jared trample on us this way? He even asked me to call him Sir Stonewell—what insolence!” The old man stomped his foot, his face turning a furious
Chapter 449
In an instant, the horrifying condition of the two patients began to visibly change. The dark, coagulated blood crusting over their sealed eyelids began to dry up and flake away like dead ash, revealing the sunken sockets underneath that were now rapidly filling back out. The grey, stretched skin that looked ready to tear suddenly regained its elasticity, the dark, open sores sealing shut at a visible pace as fresh, healthy pink tissue knitted together right before their eyes. The thick, dark, lifeless veins protruding beneath their flesh smoothed out, returning to a normal, steady pulse as the rot completely vanished, leaving their skin looking as fresh and unmarked as it had been days ago.In the end, the two patients suddenly gasped breath of air, their bodies bolting upright into a seated position with their eyes wide open. They were no longer the rotting corpses from minutes ago; right now, it was exactly as though nothing had ever happened to them.
Chapter 448
The expression on Jared Stonewell’s face changed slightly upon seeing Eleanor making her way in with her eldest daughter and the group of armed bodyguards.“Eleanor, I suppose you are here to pick up the Commissioner,” his mood surprisingly shifting back to pleasant as he added, “so many bad things to befall a single family in one night. Do you not think it is unsafe moving around without your prizefighters?”Grace wanted to step forward, her temper flaring, but Eleanor simply stopped her with a subtle gesture and offered a smile that was not quite a smile. “If I had known you were here, I guess I would have brought a gift along. How was the vacation? It seems you are very much up to date with everything happening in Brooklyn Heights.”The old man shrugged his weak shoulders slightly and responded, “Who in Sorevia does not know the name of Brooklyn Heights’ great families is now synonymous with weakness? Is it not funny that I am now associated with such w
Chapter 447
The secretary calmly took the papers back from the trembling man’s hands and returned to standing perfectly still behind the patriarch. Jared Stonewell adjusted his posture and simply said, “As it stands right now, I own this place, and you are merely my employee. If I decide to kick you out onto the street today, who dares to question me?”“Hurry up and pay your proper respect to Sir Stonewell,” Rita instructed with a clear, uncompromising voice, neatly arranging the legal documents back into her arms.The elderly doctor gulped loudly, the sound heavy in the tense silence, and took one desperate, fleeting glance at Old Mr. Wexler, who was standing helplessly to the side. Even the Wexlers did not possess the political ability to casually negotiate the purchase of a government General Hospital, and neither did the other great families. The old aristocratic families might find such a feat incredibly difficult, with perhaps only the Carringtons hav
Chapter 446
Old Master Wexler clenched his hand slightly, his knuckles turning white as he said, “Jared, do not think so highly of yourself. I am the patriarch of a great family just like you, meaning we are equals. You are only above me by a few years in age.” To him, calling a fellow patriarch of another great family by such an elevated title was a profound disrespect to his own standing. “When did you arrive in the city in the first place?” he added, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. It was well known to everyone in their elite circle that the Stonewells had been out of Brooklyn Heights for a few months now, and for a long while, there had been no news regarding their movements or their business. Only their lingering name as one of the great families still remained to hold their place in society.“Still, you disrespect me once again,” Old Mr. Stonewell said, the faint smile vanishing completely from his lined face. “But I will let it slide today, considering
