Chapter two.
Everyone's eyes widened, some of them mouth agape. They couldn't believe what Ethan had just done. Immediately they thought he wanted to kill the old master, Edward. “Are you here to kill him?!” “Why did you hit him so hard?” Another one barked. “My father is on the verge of dying, and you dare hit him that hard?!” “He…he….he's going to die,” Victoria sobbed, collapsing to the floor. She felt like she's the cause of his death. She began to hit herself blaming herself that if only she didn't trust the so-called miracle doctor, if only she had believed them when they said he can't heal their grandfather. Suddenly, the old master, Edward, began to cough abruptly. Victoria stood up, wiping her tears. She and the family ran to his aid. Their father has not been able to cough or do anything. Now it was hard for them to know if this is a bad sign or a good one. The cough was dry, and pains filled the old master's eyes. They began to bombard the old master with lots of questions. “Father, are you okay?” “Father, are you fine? “Father! Father! Father!” The eldest stood up and walked up to Ethan, his eyes blazing with anger. “What have you done to my father!” He asked, pushing him, and Ethan's back slammed against the wall. Ethan did not say anything, he just stared at him, his hands in his pocket, his facial expressions unreadable. “If anything happens to my father, I swear you will regret messing around with Edward's family,” he threatened him, pointing his fingers at him. But Ethan did not flinch, he just stared at him. Victoria let her tears flow freely, running the old master's hands. Old master, Edward began to cough again, the cough was harsh, dry, and hacking. Victoria rubbed his back while others tried to fan him. They became worried when they began to cough black blood. The blood he coughed filled two buckets. “Doctors do something!” Victoria yelled. But the other doctors were as confused as them. They had no idea what was happening to old master Edward. Old master, Edward, stopped coughing. “Wa…..ter,” he managed to say, his voice horse. Everyone gasped, they thought they didn't hear old master Edward well, until he repeated it. They ran and brought him water. Old master took it in one goal and passed the cup to them asking for more. He drank until he was satisfied, and he leaned on the bed wood. Everyone watched in awe, as the old master's white face began to change to its normal shape, his color was coming back. It was like magic to them. The three doctors were stunned to their bones and ashamed of themselves. They could not believe their eyes. And once again, Ethan still shined right in front of them. Ethan had just performed a legendary lost technique. They couldn't believe that a young man like him could be capable of something like this. Left with no other option, they bowed down, touching Ethan's legs. “All hail miracle doctor! All hail miracle doctor!” And one of them said, “We are in the presence of a god.” Everyone were shocked, and they all fell on their knees and thanked Ethan, also apologized to him for the things they had said earlier, saying they were panicking and lost control. Just then Old master, Edward, regained his voice and thanked Ethan then he asked. “Young man, who are you?” Ethan didn't want to reveal his identity to them, so he simply said it was the general of the west who sent him to come heal the master. He would rather not tell them that the general of the west, his disciples, actually pleaded with him to come save old master Edward, because of his good deeds. He decided to help because the general of the west begged him the whole night. Everyone was shocked that he knew the general of the west. They find it challenging to believe that a young man like Ethan knew such an Influential person. “Thank you, son,” old master Edward said, his eyes darting to his eldest son. “Double whatever you wanted to offer him.” “He … .has … .not named his prize,’’ the eldest son responded. “When he first came, we all misjudged him.” “What? How dare you look down on someone, now go on your knees and apologize,” old master Edward barked. Despite Ethan telling him to let it slide, he still insisted that his son go on his knees and apologized saying that's the least thing he can do. Ethan left with no choice, agreed. The eldest son went down on his knees and apologized, not because he healed his father but because Ethan knew the general of the west. A formidable man in the military. “Son, what's your price?” Old master, Edward, asked. Ethan chuckled, removing his hands from his pocket, folding his arms. “What if I tell you I did it for free?” The old master, Edward, shook his head. “You can't do it for free, son, mention your price.” “If I were to charge you all, even if you combine all the wealth of the Edward's family you won't be able to pay.” This made the Edward's family face darkened. They felt insulted, but they couldn't say anything because Ethan just saved their father. Old master Edward struggled to stand up, the family members wanted to help him, but he stopped them. After much struggle, they were able to stand up. He walked up to Ethan, despite feeling insulted he let it slide standing In Front of Ethan with so much pride. “The Edward's aren't one to take favors from people. What do you want?” “Unfortunately, I maintain my stand, I did it for free.” “Name your price,” Old master Edward demanded. But Ethan kept quiet, staring at him. He didn't mean to disrespect the old man, that's why he didn't walk away. Seeing that Ethan refused to name a price, the old man said, “How about you get married to my daughter, Victoria.”

Chapter 143.Victoria had fallen asleep beside Ethan, having stayed by his side since morning.Slowly, Ethan’s eyes fluttered open. A groan escaped him as a sharp ache shot through his head. He noticed the oxygen mask strapped to his face and rolled his eyes, yanking it off. “I’m not that weak,” he thought bitterly.He willed his body to move, struggling to sit up. That’s when he noticed Victoria, her head resting gently on the bed, fast asleep.Careful not to wake her, he shifted slowly, easing himself upright on the bed, his movements deliberate and quiet.Ethan’s gaze softened as he looked at her. Her face, relaxed and peaceful in sleep, made his chest tighten. He could feel the weight of the fear and worry she had carried all day, and the exhaustion that came with it.A small, almost invisible smile tugged at his lips. She stayed… all this time… for me, he thought, heart swelling with quiet gratitude.He wanted to reach out, to brush a stray lock of hair from her face, but he h

Chapter one hundred and forty two.“I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”Her heart pounded so loud it drowned out the silence. She hesitated, then whispered, “The bad one.”The doctor nodded, taking a deep breath before speaking.“We still can’t figure out what’s wrong with the General,” he said softly.She tried to process everything and when realization hit her, her eyes widened. “What?” she gasped, her knees almost giving out. The doctor quickly reached out to steady her.“You have to be strong,” he urged.“Strong?” she shook her head, tears brimming. “You don’t even know what’s wrong with him, no diagnosis, no treatment! Tell me, how am I supposed to be strong?” Her voice cracked into a scream as she grabbed his arm, trembling.“Get a grip on yourself,” the doctor pleaded gently. “He needs you right now. You can’t fall apart, not now.”Victoria’s chest heaved with sobs, but she nodded through her tears. “I... I hear you,” she whispered, sniffing.

Chapter 141.Victoria stayed by his side, her hand resting over his as if her touch alone could hold him here. Ethan’s breathing was uneven, his chest rising and falling too slowly, too painfully.“Don’t close your eyes,” she whispered, her voice shaking despite her efforts to sound calm. “Stay with me, Ethan. Please.”He turned his head slightly, meeting her eyes. Even through the haze of pain, he saw the fear she was trying so hard to hide. A faint smile tugged at his lips, weak but real. “You’re stronger than me right now,” he murmured.“Don’t say that,” she said quickly, a tear slipping down before she could stop it. She wiped it away with the back of her hand, angry at herself for letting it show. “You’re going to make it through this. You have to. Not just for you, but for us.”Ethan reached for her hand, his grip unsteady but desperate. “Victoria… if I don’t…”“No.” She cut him off, her voice firm, almost fierce. She shook her head, holding his hand tightly against her chest

Chapter 140.Immediately, she pulled out her phone and saw a flood of notifications. Her heart pounded as she unlocked it and opened the browser.The very first headline she saw made her jaw drop. Ethan, who had been watching her closely, narrowed his eyes. “What is it?”Her gaze flicked between him and the screen, hesitation written all over her face.“Just say it,” he urged. When she stayed silent, Ethan snatched the phone from her hand. His eyes widened as the headline screamed back at him:“Breaking: General Ethan Dead. Rushed from the hospital after healing 200 soldiers. Our deepest condolences to his family.”“Holy shit,” Ethan muttered, his grip tightening around the phone. “Who the hell spread this rumor?” He dropped it onto the table, fury simmering in his chest.Victoria’s voice was low but firm. “Whoever did this is the same person who forced you to heal those soldiers. They know your condition, Ethan. They want you broken.”His jaw clenched, the pounding in his head gro

Chapter 139.He turned, ready to walk away, when the room tilted violently. A wave of dizziness crashed over him. His hand shot to his forehead, his knees weakening.The sound of blood rushing in his ears drowned out the noise of the room. He felt his body sway, his strength draining all at once.And then he was falling.The door burst open.“Ethan!” Victoria rushed forward, catching him just before he hit the floor.“Ethan!” she called, tapping his face.His eyes fluttered open, and he whispered weakly, “I’m fine.”She let out a sharp scoff. “Obviously, you’re not fine. Have you seen yourself right now?” Turning to his personal assistant, she said urgently, “Help me get him up.”With their support, Ethan was lifted to his feet.“Let’s take the back door,” she suggested.But Ethan shook his head. “No. The front door.”Victoria froze, staring at him. “Why? You really want them to see you like this?”“They won’t see me like this,” he said weakly. “If you both support me, I won’t need

Chapter 138.“Take me to the next ward,” Ethan said.Victoria hurried to him and pulled him aside. “Ethan, you can’t do this. Have you seen yourself? You’re a mess, your eyes, they’re bloodshot and….”Before she could finish, Ethan cut her off with a sudden kiss, taking her completely by surprise.Her breath caught in her throat, the protest dying on her lips. When he finally pulled back, his eyes held a fierce determination.“I have to do this,” Ethan said quietly, almost like a vow.Victoria shook her head, her chest tightening. “You’ll kill yourself.”He gave a faint, tired smile. “Then I’ll die doing what I’m meant to do.”Before she could stop him, he turned and walked toward the ward doors, his steps heavy but unwavering.Jack, still watching from the distance, let his cigarette fall to the ground. A slow, satisfied smile curved his lips as he crushed it beneath his shoe.“Ethan,” he murmured, “this is exactly how I’ll crush your grave… soon.”He turned away from the crowd and
