The spy Callen meant was Micah. Callen told him to keep pretending he was still under Eryk's brainwashing so he could watch Eryk more freely.

"All right, I'll do it. You'll give me the antidote, right?" Eryk finally agreed.

"Of course. But the poison won't disappear with just one antidote. You'll need more than seven doses to get rid of it completely," Callen explained.

"That means you have to hand over all the evidence of the Hayes family's crimes within two months," he added.

Eryk lifted his chin. "Fine. I'll do it," he said confidently. "Now let me go."

Inside, he was smirking. Callen was really stupid. Once he got out of here, he would get the poison cured with his uncle's help, who was an antidote specialist.

After the poison was gone, he'd report Callen and Lois to the Hayes family.

He looked at Lois with deep hatred. 'Just wait. You'll pay for this. Don't try to play tricks on someone who's even more cunning!'

Lois frowned, confused at how quickly Eryk agreed. But she didn't ca

    Everyone inside the room froze when Oliver suddenly hugged Callen. The nurses stiffened as if their spines locked in place, while Shaun's jaw dropped so far it almost hit the floor.Ivy stared at Callen, unable to understand why the owner of Valeron City's largest medical network treated her husband like an old friend rather than a stranger.Callen gently loosened Oliver's arms and stepped back with a calm expression. He glanced at Shaun, and a faint smirk appeared on his face as he tilted his head slightly."I should probably go," he said. "There's someone here who clearly doesn't like me."Oliver blinked, only now remembering Shaun's earlier accusation. For a brief moment, confusion appeared in his eyes before it shifted into sharp irritation. "Right! You accused someone of using my name."Shaun's lips trembled as if he had swallowed glass. "T–That's correct, Sir," he stammered. "I was only trying to protect the hospital's reputation."Callen folded his arms casually, watching him w

    The nurses walked in with a practiced calm as they reached for the tubes attached to William's weak body."Please, don't do anything to him! I'm begging you," Ivy cried.Just as one of the nurses closed her fingers around the life-support line, a hand grabbed her wrist. The nurse gasped when she realized it was Callen."Don't touch him."The nurse pulled her arm back as if burned. No one understood why the air suddenly turned heavy. Callen turned to Shaun without flinching. "No one removes anything. I will donate every cent needed for his treatment. All medical expenses William owes up to today. I'll cover them in full!"Shaun blinked as though he had just processed that Callen wasn't some background extra. He tilted his head while examining Callen from head to toe, his expression twisting into annoyance. "And who exactly are you supposed to be?"Before Callen could speak, Ivy wiped her tears and straightened up. "He's my husband," she said.For a moment, Shaun looked surprised. Then

    The VIP wing of Avenfall General Hospital was quiet and spotless, far different from the chaotic lobby they had walked through earlier. As soon as Callen, Ivy, and Camila stepped inside, two nurses hurried over with respectful smiles."Mr. Callen, Mrs. Ivy, please come this way," one of them said softly.Callen nodded calmly, keeping his expression neutral so Ivy wouldn't suspect anything. The moment they showed that member card at reception, every staff member acted like they were serving royalty. Ivy had almost panicked, afraid they had broken some rule. Camila nearly fainted thinking the bill would skyrocket.But Callen kept a straight face and said it was a benefit from his years of serving in the military. The nurses led them into a private VIP treatment room. Three doctors were already waiting inside."Mrs. Carter, please let her rest on the bed," one of the doctors said politely.Ivy helped her mother lie down. The doctors immediately examined Camila with careful hands and seri

    Chaos filled the entrance of Avenfall General Hospital. The cries of family members echoed, doctors rushed in every direction, and the strong smell of disinfectant hung in the air like a heavy cloud.Callen's eyes narrowed when he saw the patient being pushed past them. The man's condition was almost identical to William's. Pale skin, trembling limbs, and a strange pattern of blue veins crawling up his neck.Ivy tugged his sleeve. "Callen, the symptoms are similar to my Dad's...""Yeah," Callen answered calmly, though his mind sharpened. "Let's go inside first."Ivy and Camila stayed close to him. The crowd made it hard for Camila to walk, and she winced every few steps.Inside the hospital lobby, the atmosphere was even more chaotic. Several families shouted at the staff, demanding immediate treatment for their loved ones.Ivy bit her lip. "We'll have to line up. Mom's wounds are serious, but these people look worse."Camila scoffed through clenched teeth. "It's fine. I'm not dying.

    People stopped moving because of those words."They're the ones who beat her," someone said, pointing at five men. "I didn't take part, so I'll be leaving!"The others agreed with him. They tried to leave again, but Callen's voice rang out. "Even if you didn't hit her, you just stood there and watched without trying to stop it, didn't you?"Ivy nodded. "If you still have any shame, apologize right now. Especially you five," she retorted.All five who had kicked and hit Camila were men, which only made Ivy even angrier."You five are men, but you hit an old woman? Don't you feel ashamed?" Ivy continued to scold them. "What if your own mothers were treated like that? Would you accept it?"The five men cleared their throats and tried to look away from Ivy."Your mother looked so shabby, of course, we misunderstood," a fat man spoke first. He didn't want to apologize, so he searched for excuses.The others didn't want to apologize either and followed his lead."Yeah, that's right. You're

    Roland clicked his tongue. He had made the wrong move because he panicked. He shouldn't have said he wrote the password on the back. If they checked and didn't see anything, it would prove he really was the thief."Why are you so quiet? Was that just nonsense you made up?" Callen asked with a mocking smile."N-No way! Exclusive Imperial Bank checks can't be shown carelessly. Someone might try to copy it," Roland argued.His excuse sounded reasonable, so the onlookers leaned to his side."He's right. A check that big can't be shown in public like that.""Looks like this whole family is working together to get that check."Ivy stepped forward. "We're not trying to steal that check," she said, her expression full of frustration."Then tell us why poor people from Lowtown like you have a one-million-dollar check," an old woman challenged."That…" Ivy's words trailed off. She remembered Callen had signed a nondisclosure agreement last night.If she revealed the reason they had the check, s
