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

Ten hours later, they arrived in Silverlake City.The plane landed smoothly at Silverlake International Airport. As soon as they exited the terminal, a luxurious black sedan was already waiting in the VIP pickup area with a driver standing beside it."Miss Celine," the driver greeted respectfully while opening the door.Celine nodded quickly, immediately getting in. Sarah and Lein followed behind.The car drove at a steady speed through Silverlake's busy streets. This city was different from Corholt. Greener, quieter, with elegant colonial-style buildings.But Celine didn't see any of it. Her eyes stared blankly out the window, hands clenched tightly in her lap.Lein sat beside her in silence. Not saying anything. Just his presence was enough.Thirty minutes later, the car entered a large gate with the name "Morgan" carved above it.The Morgan Family residence.A magnificent mansion stood in the middle of a vast garden with a marble fountain, old oak trees, and neatly maintained flowe

Two days passed quietly. No problems, no threats, no fights.Celine went through her life as an actress as usual. Practice sessions, meetings with the creative team, costume fittings for the concert. Lein followed her like a shadow, keeping watch without saying much.Meanwhile, in between free moments, Lein made time to visit Avalon Hill No. 1, keeping his mother company over afternoon tea, playing cards with Lily until the girl fell asleep on the sofa.Of course, he couldn't tell them what he had actually been doing lately.So when his mother asked, Lein just smiled and said, "I've had a lot of work recently. But everything's going well."His mother didn't ask further. Just nodded and pushed a plate of cakes toward him.---Celine's concert took place that evening.The performance hall was packed. Thousands of audience members filled every corner, spotlights blazed magnificently, music reverberated through the floor and into everyone's chests. Celine performed brilliantly. Her voice
