Chapter 124
Augustus looked at Adrian with a sharp gaze. Then spoke in a loud voice, full of power, "Tell your grandfather that his grandson has become insolent!"Adrian flinched. Eyes widening with shock.Augustus continued in an increasingly cold tone, "Tell him to punish you! Because you dared to threaten his friend!"The entire room fell into suffocating silence. Adrian stood frozen. His face completely pale."My grandfather's friend? Augustus Morgan is friends with my grandfather?"He didn't know. No one told him. And now he had threatened his own grandfather's friend.No wonder back then his grandfather asked him to marry Celine. He didn't ask the reason and immediately agreed. Having a new toy who's a superstar? Who wouldn't want that?And who knew his grandfather was actually friends with Augustus.At this point, Augustus turned to face all the Morgan Family members with a disappointed gaze."You," he said in a loud but controlled voice, "don't care about Celine's happiness."His eyes swe

Augustus lay there for a few moments, eyes staring at the ceiling with a blank gaze.Then, slowly, his hand moved. Touching his chest, pressing gently.No pain.No shortness of breath.No pressure in the lungs.His hand moved to his stomach, pressing slightly.The stomach that was previously hard and full of fluid now felt normal, soft, no swelling.His legs moved. Legs that were previously severely swollen now felt light.Augustus sat up slowly. His breath came out easily, deeply, and steadily. No gasping. No coughing. No feeling of weakness.His eyes widened with a realization that hit like lightning.He... was cured.He was really cured!There was only a slight itch in his throat from the black fluid that had just come out. Otherwise, he had returned to his prime condition.No! Even more than that. He felt better than his prime condition.In his eighty years of life, he had never felt this good.Energy flowed throughout his body. His mind was clear. His body was light. His breathin

Lein stood beside the bed, looking at Augustus with absolute focus.His hand moved to the leather bag, taking out a small box containing twelve acupuncture needles still in sterile packaging.With very precise movements, he opened the packaging one by one, placing the needles on the clean white cloth that the Morgan Family had prepared."Old Master Morgan," Lein said in a calm but authoritative tone, "I will insert needles at several vital points. You may feel a warm sensation, but it won't hurt."Augustus nodded weakly, his eyes looking at Lein with full trust.Lein took the first needle. His fingers moved with perfect precision, placing the needle tip exactly at the Baihui point at the top of Augustus's head.PRICK.The needle went in smoothly.Augustus blinked. No pain, just a strange cold sensation.Lein continued. The second and third needles were inserted at the Tanzhong point, right in the middle of the chest, between both nipples. This was for the heart.The fourth and fifth n

After a silence that felt like eternity, Augustus finally spoke. His voice weak, trembling, but clear."Y-you... are correct."Two simple words that made the entire room seem to explode in an even deeper silence.Celine looked at her grandfather with wide eyes. Vivienne covered her mouth with a trembling hand. Cedric stepped back with a completely pale face.Adrian stood frozen in the corner of the room, the victorious smile on his face completely gone.Lein stepped closer to the bed with calm movements. His face remained professional, but there was a thin smile appearing at the corner of his lips."Now," he said in a gentle but confident tone, "do you believe that I can cure you?"Augustus looked at Lein with a hopeful gaze. The gaze of someone who had given up on death, but suddenly saw a glimmer of light.He nodded, slowly but surely."Yes... I believe."His voice trembled with emotion."You... you are a real doctor."Lein nodded with satisfaction, then turned to face all the Morga

Cedric immediately stepped forward, looking at his father with a worried gaze."Father, you believe him?" he asked in a sharp tone. "He must be a fraud! There's no way he's really a doctor!"Vivienne also stepped closer, standing beside her husband with a worried face."Father, please don't do that," she said in a trembling voice. "He might make your illness worse. Even the best doctors in Silverlake have given up. How could this man possibly cure you?"Celine's uncle nodded vigorously."Right! This person is just a big liar! A former soldier claiming to be a doctor? Don't make us laugh!"Celine's aunt also spoke in a high-pitched tone."Father, think carefully! If you let this man touch you, your condition could worsen! You might not even get to see Celine's wedding!"All family members nodded in agreement. Voices of protest began filling the room."Throw him out!""Don't let him get close!""He must be crazy!"In the corner of the room, Adrian smiled with satisfaction. His eyes look

Lein stood there, looking at Celine who had just announced him as her future husband.In his mind, he could only sigh helplessly."Looks like I'm going to have new problems here."But honestly... it didn't matter.Marrying your idol? That was something any fan always dreamed of. And now, that dream was right in front of his eyes. Just one more step.Moreover, here he could save Celine from a marriage she didn't want.Lein's goal was only one: make Celine happy. And he wouldn't let Celine marry a man she didn't love.Cedric Morgan, Celine's father, stepped forward with slow but pressure-filled steps.The middle-aged man in a formal black suit looked Lein up and down with a sharp, assessing gaze, like looking at defective merchandise."Who is he?" he asked in a cold tone, eyes not leaving Lein. "What family does he come from? And what business is he running?"Simple questions. But questions that made Celine immediately fall silent.She opened her mouth, wanting to answer, but no words c
