"Moreover, you frightened me. Being unattractive is not your fault, but frightening people like this is unacceptable, Delilah. Ruby, who are these people?" one of the women said.Hank was speechless. He glanced at Eric and said, "I'll call the police!"The two women were terrified. Seeing their reaction, Eric became even more convinced that these women were up to no good.One of the women forced a smile, saying, "We were just chatting, so there's no need to involve the police! We'll leave right away! Let's go!"Before they could leave, Eric stopped them. "Leaving is fine, but before you go, tell me, where did you hear about the rumors of bodies piling up in Salt City and being set on fire?"He was well aware of the situation in Salt City. It wasn't anything as they claimed, so how did this absurd rumor start spreading and make its way to Nutikiville?Seeing Eric stop the women, Delilah and Ruby dared not say much, knowing how capable Eric was.The two women immediately revealed

After enduring several failed relationships and confronting the harsh realities of society, she finally recognized Eric's true worth.

He might never have crossed paths with her again if she hadn't fallen ill.Gathering his medicine kit, he proceeded to the next ward.At the entrance, a voice reached his ears."Mr. Westman, you must eat! There's nothing available on the streets now! I've checked your fridge. Only an egg remains!""I refuse!" a man exclaimed. "Is this even edible? Fetch me seafood! I desire lobster and oysters!"Eric arched an eyebrow.Was David infected, too?Upon entering, David's subordinate urged, "Mr. Westman, you must eat. You require strength for recovery after the doctor's treatment!"David glanced up, utterly

The commotion also drew the attention of several elderly holistic physicians, including Winston. However, they all paused momentarily to observe David's actions.Upon hearing David's words, the doctor turned to Eric and remarked, "A physician should possess a compassionate heart. You should harbor no selfish motives since you've chosen to save him! Does this conduct align with that of a true doctor? By acting in this manner, you're only further tarnishing the already compromised reputation of holistic medicine!"Eric chuckled and replied, "Well, could you specify which aspects of holistic medicine have garnered such a negative reputation?"Disparaging him personally was one matter, but criticizing holistic medicine struck a deeper chord.Despite the passing of Eric's mentor, Orion, several years prior, Orion remained a revered figure in the holistic medicine side. Criticizing holistic medicine indirectly denigrated Orion, an insult Eric could not abide.The doctor snorted in respo

If I were to embark on a new romance in my old age and find a companion to share the joys of retirement, wouldn't that be wonderful?"Sylvia burst into laughter at Seraphine's words, having expected a different response, only to realize it was about the prospect of finding another older man.Sylvester shook his head and replied, "Seraphine, I didn't expect this from you. Well, if you can live happily, then I have no objection."Seraphine rolled her eyes and quipped, "It's best if you go first! You're so handsome. If I go first, there will surely be countless old ladies

Exquisite women often effortlessly captured the attention of men. During the meal, Lewis, a recent returnee from overseas, fixated his gaze on Sylvia.Sensing his stare, Sylvia and Eric exchanged seats, positioning their backs toward him, which left him feeling somewhat disgruntled.In reality, individuals of his stature within the hospital hierarchy were esteemed elites in Salt City. However, such individuals often harbored a notable flaw: their desires typically surpassed those of ordinary folks due to their heightened capabilities and ambitions.After lunch, Sylvia accompanied Eric for a leisurely stroll around the sports stadium. Before departing, she led Eric to the parking lot.Upon seeing the new car, Eric raised an eyebrow. "Did you get another new car?" The Williams were known for frequently changing their vehicles.
