Ansel turned around to face Smith, whose eyes were wide with a startled expression. He saw the door moving back and forth and then realized that Smith had just gotten back from the bathroom."Not a thief, just a victim of circumstance," Ansel clarified, his voice relaxed. "Give me a hand treating his injuries."Smith didn't budge, his eyes fixed on the scene before him with a mix of fear and uncertainty.He was still terrified of the man who laid on the sick bed.When he heard the commotion earlier, he immediately ran to the bathroom to save himself.Only when the chaos subsided and an unsettling silence fell did Smith cautiously emerge from the bathroom.Smith's eyes narrowed in doubt. "You're sure he's not here to steal?" he asked, his voice laced with suspicion. As he drew closer, his gaze fell upon the man's bruised and swollen face, and he felt a shiver run down his spine, his throat constricting in response.Ansel's anger flared up once more, his voice trembling with indignatio
Ansel didn't bother because he was certain she'd be alone in the office at this hour. He knew her schedule all too well, and the familiarity gave him a sense of comfort"Don't come in_" Thora's warning died on her lips as she saw him standing there, her voice trapped in her throat like a caught breath.She clutched her shirt to her chest, her face burning with embarrassment as she turned to face the wall, trying to hide her disheveled state.Ansel had no reaction, he could only wonder why his wife was half naked.He searched everywhere to see if he would find another man but there was no one else in the office."Why are you naked, wifey?" Ansel asked as he took his seat.He found it cute that his wife was facing the wall and trying her best not to look at him.Ansel chuckled lightly and Thora seemed to find it annoying.She frowned deeply and then hissed.The only reason why she was naked was because her top got stained with coffee and she was just about to change into a different one
In the medical department, Ansel was still upset about what his wife had said to him earlier. He couldn't shake off his anger.Did she actually feel embarrassed to be seen with him in public?He gazed at his reflection, his eyes automatically scanning for any imperfections.Satisfied with his reflection, he flexed his muscles, admiring himself, and couldn't understand why Thora wasn't swooning over him like others usually did.This was the woman his grandfather wanted him to marry, but she didn't seem to be treating him like the husband he truly was.Ansel sighed deeply before making up his mind to stay as far away as he could from Thora.He decided that he wasn't going to force her to love him.And with that thought, Ansel walked into the medical room.The man who had been vomiting earlier was now watching some videos on his phone with Smith, his face shining brightly.The color on his skin seemed to have returned, and Ansel couldn't help but feel proud of himself.He decided to take
As Ansel walked, his mind kept drifting back to the blood he had consumed. He couldn't understand why it hadn't had any effect on him. Lost in thought, he wandered aimlessly, unsure of his destination. Eventually, he decided to explore the outsides of the building and see what activities were taking place.The parking lot was packed with rows of sedans, SUVs, and luxury cars, each having the familiar company sticker and parking permits that identified their owners as building employees.Castillo Group's reputation for offering generous salaries was well-known, and it showed in the luxury cars that filled the parking lot—sleek sedans, high-end SUVs, and premium sports cars that gleamed in the light.As he strolled, a sudden buzz in his pocket broke the silence.Reaching his hands into his pocket, he brought his phone out to check what the buzzing noise was all about.In the end, he realized that the buzzing was coming from an alarm he had set hours earlier specifically to remind him t
Ansel immediately realized what was going on but it was too late.Without hesitation, he gripped the edge of the building, his free hand holding his phone as he prepared to carry out his next move.Ansel avoided looking down at the dizzying drop below, terrified by the realization that the Castillo Group building was one of the tallest in the city and his chances of survival were slim to none.It wasn't long before passersby began to notice the precarious figure on the edge of the roof, their attention drawn to the dangling human as whispers and murmurs spread among the gathered crowd.The sight of the dangling figure sent shockwaves through the street, with cars screeching to a halt and pedestrians frozen in fear, eyes fixated on the petrifying scene unfolding above them."Is that Spider-Man?" a young boy wondered aloud, his eyes wide with curiosity as he gawked at Ansel. His mother, however, swiftly yanked him away from the sight.Rather than dialing the emergency number, some broug
[Healing Cultivation System fully activated][Congratulations Ansel Luther, you have been granted the full powers of the system.][Healing process has just begun][Restoring health back to normal]Ansel stared at the screen in front of him, wondering why it was a bit different from the virtual screen he had always seen.He immediately remembered that he had just jumped from the Castillo group.Was he in heaven?Ansel rose from his bed and strode towards the mirror, his gaze scanning over his body in the reflection. To his surprise, his body was looking way too normal than usual.A fall from a building as high as that should have taken his life but why was he very much alive?Ansel had no explanation for what was going on.[Healing points : 70/10][Host will be restored to full condition soon]Ansel laughed bitterly, he was speechless.A system? "Hello," Ansel said out loud.If his virtual screen hadn't weirded him out then this new system feature certainly did.Ansel could only star
When Thora saw him stare at her like she was some type of toy, she turned her head to the side.Ansel had a way of making her short of words.She wanted to scold him further but decided not to.A few minutes of silence passed and Thora turned to look at him with a sigh, bearing a small lunch box. "This is for you," she said softly. "The doctor said this will help you feel better. And your internal injuries seem to be healing quickly. That's good news." Ansel gratefully accepted the container and opened it to find chicken soup.He gazed up to find Thora already beginning to leave the room. "Wait, aren't you going to feed me?" he asked, his question filled with humor.Thora shook her head with a small grin. "You don't look like you need an extra hand," she said, amusement lacing her words. Then, she turned and left the room, leaving Ansel to his chicken soup.Ansel reached for the soup and began to sip from the container, savoring the warm broth and the tender chicken. He assumed that t
"I will help you to your room " Thora said in almost a whisper. Sliding her hands into his arms, she gave him a little support even though it was obvious that he didn't need any.Ansel didn't have any problems with it either, Instead he rested his weight on her and winced pretentiously.As they walked, he let out a pained gasp, his step faltering mid-stride. "My chest hurts so bad," he gasped, the words spilling from his lips in a breathless rush. "I'll call the doctor right away," Thora replied in a panicked rush, her features contorting with worry. "Stay right here, I'll be back with my phone. The painkillers must not be working anymore." "A doctor?" Ansel said with one eye closed, when he saw Thora's worried look, he winced again, his hands clutching his chest."I am a doctor and I will feel perfectly fine the moment I take a hot shower." Ansel added with a soft gasp which escaped his lips.Her hands which were holding him slipped away slowly. If he wasn't feeling ill then she wo
