11: Divine Revival Method
As Edward gave Leon the needles, he ran his finger across it, and began to flick it, liking the feel in his hand.The young assistant scoffed. “Hmph, what a waste of time. I’ve never seen a dead person come back to life!”Edward shot him a sharp glance. “Enough. Leave the room.”The assistant hesitated for a moment, visibly taken aback, but eventually obeyed, leaving reluctantly.Edward turned his attention back to Leon. His voice softened. “Do you need my assistance?”Though he knew it was pointless, he still felt compelled to offer. Decades of medical practice had taught him that sometimes, people just needed to believe in something… if only to ease their own sorrow. That was how compassionate he was.Even toward strangers, he showed kindness and sympathy, qualities that had contributed to his esteemed name.Leon finally looked at him, considering. “Well, if you can help, then hold these two pressure points.”Edward’s eyes followed Leon’s precise gestures toward two locations—GV20,
12: Restoration pills
Leon’s gaze remained fixed on Diane, his silver eyes dark with something unreadable, pain, regret… something deeper.‘Why is she here?’ The question gnawed at him. ‘Why does my heart still stir for her… after all this time?’ he wondered, instinctively going to touch his chest.Edward studied him for a moment before offering a knowing smile. “Is she your wife?”Leon barely spared him a glance before shaking his head. “No. She’s just my…” His voice trailed off, frustration flickering across his face. He let out a sharp breath before shifting his attention to Edward. “Enough about that. I need a few things. You’re going to get them for me.”Edward didn’t flinch at the commanding tone. Instead, he nodded with respect. “Of course. Anything you require, Mr…?” He hesitated. “May I ask for your name?”Leon responded without thinking. “Azrael.” A second later, realization hit him. He had given his true name. But after a brief pause, he simply nodded to himself. “Yes. That’s my name. Leon Azr
13: Diane
Ignoring Edward’s shock, Leon retrieved one of the pills, crushed it into a fine powder, and mixed it with water before carefully administering it to Diane.Then with wide, unblinking eyes, Edward saw something beyond reason, beyond anything he had ever seen.Her wounds, deep and fatal only moments ago, began to close. Skin knit itself back together, bruises faded, and in mere seconds, her body looked as if it had never been injured at all. Bloodstains remained, but her skin beneath was flawless.“This… this is unbelievable!” he gasped, his voice filled with awe. He had spent his entire life in medicine, yet he had never encountered anything remotely close to what he was witnessing now.He looked at Leon and began to wonder, ‘Who really is this young man? There's no way an ordinary human can do this.’His eyes drifted to the golden pills still resting in the pot. Their value was immeasurable. These small pellets had the power to heal wounds that should have taken weeks, if not months
14: Let’s divorce
“Diane?” Leon echoed in silent surprise.His silver eyes lowered slightly. ‘Her name is actually Diane. Just like before. Is this a mere coincidence? Only her last name is different…’“Could I get the time, please?” Diane asked, glancing between them.“It’s already five in the evening,” Edward replied.Diane’s shoulders tensed, a flicker of fear crossing her face. “Already…?” she murmured.Edward studied her, then suddenly asked, “Forgive me, but did you say your last name is Lancaster?”Diane lifted her head and nodded.“Then that means… you’re part of the Lancaster family? The owners of Lancaster Enterprises?”A sigh left her lips. “Yes, that’s me.”Edward’s brows lifted in surprise. The Lancasters were among the ten wealthiest families in Brookdale. And one of them had nearly died tonight?‘What could have happened to her?’Leon, meanwhile, studied Diane with narrowed eyes. Fear. It clung to her, thick and suffocating.‘Why is she giving off fear?’ he wondered.Diane swallowed ha
15: Won’t beg for food
Diane returned home to a small and old area of Brookdale where she and her parents lived. It was a three-bedroom flat, and also small compared to the luxury they used to live in when things were better for them.The Lancasters ranked eighth among Brookdale’s top ten prominent families, and Diane’s father, Donald Lancaster, had once been set to inherit the family’s empire. As the eldest son, he was groomed for leadership, the future president of Lancaster Enterprises.But everything changed.Donald was suddenly accused of gambling and embezzling family funds. The allegations were damning, and his younger brother, David Lancaster, seized the opportunity to discredit him in front of their father, convincing him of Donald’s incompetence, and the fact that Donald had no son, no male heir, only made things worse.Donald took a hard fall because of everything.The family’s patriarch, old Gregory Lancaster, reclaimed every property under his name. The grand mansion Donald’s family once called
16: Life and death
“How did you get my number?” Leon asked Diane over the phone, amused.“Yesterday,” Diane admitted. “At Grant Pharmacy. You gave it to us, remember?”Leon narrowed his eyes. “I gave it to Edward, not you.”“Well, I overheard it… and took it,” she confessed sheepishly. “So… yeah. That’s how I got your number, Mr. Leon. Please don’t hang up. Can we meet? Just once, please.”“No,” Leon shook his head as he walked out of the house. “I have no reason to meet with you.”“Why are you being like this to me?” Diane asked with a sad tone. “Can’t we at least be friends?”“I want nothing to do with you, Diane, so no. We are nothing. We will be nothing. Goodbye.”He ended the call without hesitation.He sighed, instinctively holding his chest, while amused. ‘That girl. Bold, isn’t she? She just got my number like that. And here I thought I won’t be hearing from her, ever again.’His phone rang again, and his teeth gritted in anger. Snatching up the call, his voice turned sharp. “I thought I made m
17: Is your son stupid?
As they drove, Edward began to brief Leon about the situation. “Mr. Jarvis Grave is the top most prominent man in the country, but his only son and heir was involved in a DUI incident last year. He’s been in a coma ever since. Even doctors like myself have been unable to treat his condition.” Leon remained silent, his gaze fixed out the window. Edward continued, “Mr. Grant, after witnessing the miraculous effects of the restoration pill, requested another from me and presented it as a gift to Mr. Grave. As expected, the wounds from the accident healed completely. However, the boy remains in a coma. That’s why Mr. Grave has personally demanded you to treat his son.” Leon kept quiet, while staring at the window and one would think he wasn't listening. He was watching the world blur past. The car was impressive, smooth, powerful, far superior to the taxi he had taken earlier. Even though he understood how these machines worked, he found himself mildly impressed. Edward, growing
