A Silent Protector Ch 13: The Fall of Andersons (1)
In the days that followed, the busy city of Springfield seemed calmer. People talked less about Elvis's death, and the streets were quieter.However, inside the Anderson Family's large house, there was no peace. The air felt heavy, and everyone was worried.Max Anderson, Claire’s younger brother, had fallen ill. He was lying in his bed. His face was pale and weak, and he was unable to move much. His breathing was shallow, and his eyes were closed most of the time.Claire, Sandra, Robert, and a few other members of Anderson's family stood by his side. Their eyes were full of worry.Claire was holding Max's hand as she whispered, "Max, please get better."Sandra, Claire and Max's mother paced the room with tears in her eyes. Her hands were shaking as she looked at her son. She said in a breaking voice, "My son... How could this have happened? What exactly is going on? Why does he have to suffer so much?"Robert Anderson, Claire's uncle was sitting in the corner with a serious face. Seei
A Silent Protector Ch 1: Three Years of Silence
Ethan Graves is a 26-year-old man. He is sitting at the edge of his small bed in the Andersons' grand house and rubbing his tired eyes with his fingers. It had been another long day of work at the Anderson Family and he had just finished washing the dishes and folding the laundry. His body ached and his mind was exhausted, but his heart was the heaviest of all.For three years, he had lived with his wife's family, the Andersons. At that time, he had become something worse than a servant. To them, he was a nobody."Ethan, get your ass here right now!"A sharp voice completely shattered the quiet of the evening. It was Sandra Anderson, Ethan's mother-in-law. She was standing in front of the doorway of the small room Ethan was given and was glaring at him with cold eyes."Yes, Mom?"Ethan stood up quickly and hurried over. He didn't want to anger her further and make his already bad day more horrible."Did you mop the floors yet? They are filthy!"Sandra snapped at him while pointing at
A Silent Protector Ch 2: When Trust Breaks
Pregnant?A flicker of light flashed in Ethan's eyes and he couldn't help but remember that night two months ago. Claire returned home drunk and that was the only time she let him touch her. They made love. Of course, the next morning, he was kicked harshly by her words.A hope rose in his chest as he muttered, "You are pregnant! Does that mean...""No," before Ethan could complete his sentence, he was interrupted by Claire harshly. Shaking her head, she said, "It's not yours. The baby belongs to Derek Whitman, from the Whitman family."Ethan's heart stopped. He felt his world collapsing around him.Derek Whitman?The rich heir of one of the wealthiest families in Springfield City?Ethan couldn't believe his ears.What does Claire mean?She cheated on him while they were still married?Most importantly, she actually got pregnant?No...

A Silent Protector Ch 3: Hidden Dangers
The next day, Ethan arrived at the Civil Affairs Office on time. His face was calm, but his eyes carried a hidden storm. He waited outside the building with his hands in his pockets, staring at the cars passing by on the street. The cold wind blew against his face, but he barely noticed.About twenty minutes later, Claire arrived in a shiny black Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The car stopped right in front of the office, and Claire stepped out. Her face was hidden behind large dark sunglasses. She looked every bit like the wealthy woman she was, wearing a designer coat and high heels that clicked sharply on the pavement as she walked.She glanced at Ethan with a sneer on her face, not bothering to hide the disgust she felt for him."Well, look who's here! I didn't think you'd show up on time. Are you that eager to be out of my life?" She said mockingly while pulling her sunglasses down just enough to reveal her cold eyes.Ethan didn't respond to her. He just looked at her with an expression
A Silent Protector Ch 4: The Silent Protectors
Ethan went directly to the Golden Spring Hotel after leaving the Civil Affairs Office. Golden Spring Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in Springfield City. Being the only five-star hotel in the city, it is not your typical hotel and is renowned for its extravagant services and high-class reputation. The building of this hotel towered above the city, with its shiny glass exterior reflecting the sunlight like a jewel.As soon as Ethan walked into the grand lobby, the hotel attendants spotted him and greeted him warmly. They already seem to know him, and their smiles were very respectful."Welcome back Mr. Graves." One of the hotel attendants greeted Ethan while bowing slightly.Ethan nodded at them but didn't stop or said anything. He made his way to the elevators that was located at the back of the lobby.He stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the highest floor where his suite was located. The elevator smoothly glided up to the top floor. It was fast and silent.Ding!
A Silent Protector Ch 5: Stellar Dust
The next day, after breakfast, Ethan went out.Since there was nothing for him to do, he started wandering here and there.As Ethan wandered aimlessly, he hadn't realized when he arrived on a bustling street filled with the sounds of lively chatter. The street was lined with shops on both sides. Customers were busy entering and exiting shops, buying things that caught their interest. It was hot today, and despite the heat, the crowds were truly too busy shopping. Since it was Sunday, many people were on vacation. Thus, the number of people on the street had increased significantly.Ethan was dressed in his simple clothes. He looked around curiously like someone experiencing the city for the first time.Of course, it was not his first time. He was thinking how nice it would have been if there was no hidden dark side in this world.His appearance attracted disdainful glances from passersby, but he wasn't bothered by it."What's going on over there?"As he was walking, Ethan suddenly fo
A Silent Protector Ch 6: Saving The Old Man
Currently, that little girl wasn't the only one looking at Ethan. Everyone else was looking at him as well.Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ethan crouched down and grabbed one of the old man's rough palms. He just held the old man's hand and did not move at all."Puchi!"The surrounding crowd couldn't help but laugh out loud. After all, they'd already suspected him to be a fraud. In their eyes, he was a pervert who was trying to attract the attention of a little girl who was not even 18 yet."What do you guys think he's doing?""I don't know, but it's definitely not about treating patients.""Heh, I thought he may have some ability, but it turns out he is here to make a fool of himself!""I've never seen a person who can cure heart attack by holding hands."All kinds of doubts and mockery flooded over like a tidal wave, but Ethan remained silent and calm. He seemed to be motionless, but in reality, there were traces of white mist that could not be seen by the naked eye being sen
A Silent Protector Ch 7: A Promise to Find Him
Ethan left the crowd after saving the old man with a calm and unchanged expression. He walked back to the Golden Spring Hotel. As he entered the hotel, the attendants once again greeted him warmly, but Ethan didn't stop. He took the elevator to his suite.Meanwhile, in the Springfield City Hospital, an old man had been rushed to a VIP ward. A group of doctors were standing around his bed but their expressions were not right."Why does he look fine?"Doctors were puzzled about how the old man looked well even after a heart attack. This should not be the case for a patient who just had a heart attack. However, since he looked fine and the results of all tests were good, they decided to keep the old man under observation.Currently, in the brightly lit room, the old man lay comfortably in a hospital bed.Creak~All of a sudden, the door to the ward burst open and three people rushed inside."Grandpa!"A young man called out, hurrying to the old man's bedside. He was followed by another m
