Chapter 675
But Adam was in no hurry.He stood beside the bed for a long moment, his expression unreadable, as if weighing something heavy in his heart. With deliberate restraint, he lifted only the edge of her dress enough to confirm her condition, his touch brief and controlled, devoid of indulgence. A faint ripple of spiritual energy flowed from his palm, sinking into her body like a warm current.Moments later, the effects of the sedative were forced out.Whitney’s eyelashes fluttered. Her brows knitted together as confusion crossed her face. Then her eyes snapped open.She froze.The unfamiliar room. The bed beneath her. Adam standing a short distance away.Her breath hitched. She scrambled backward until her back hit the headboard, panic flashing in her eyes. “How did I get here?” she demanded. “What did you do to me?”Adam took a step back, deliberately widening the distance between them. “Relax. I didn’t touch you in the way you’re thinking,” he said calmly. “You were drugged. Your father

Lazarus let out a long breath and said gravely, “Whitney, let’s put aside whether he has truly exhausted his vitality or not. One thing is undeniable—his medical skills are extraordinary. You can’t deny that.”Whitney clenched her fists. She wanted to refute him, to tear his argument apart, but the words caught in her throat. A single pill curing terminal cancer was nothing short of a miracle. Even Ezekiel, the legendary physician revered across the continent, had never accomplished something so outrageous.Seeing her fall silent, Lazarus pressed on. “That old man may truly be capable of curing your brother. This could be our only chance. If we miss it, Julian’s future—and the future of the Marlowe family—will be destroyed. So why don’t you—”“Enough!” Whitney cut him off sharply, her voice shaking with anger. “So in the end, you want to sacrifice me?”Her eyes reddened as she stared at her father. “Is that it?”Lazarus’s expression hardened. “Whitney, this is an unfortunate necessity

“Rest assured, Mr. Lazarus,” Adam said calmly, his voice steady though his face still carried a trace of fatigue. “As long as I can recover my vitality, repairing your son’s condition will not be a problem. However…” He paused briefly, then added meaningfully, “I am concerned that Ms. Marlowe may not be willing to cooperate.”Lazarus’s eyes flickered, but his tone remained firm. “That’s not something you need to worry about. I’ll handle it myself.” He rose to his feet and said decisively, “I’ll have her come to you tonight.”With that, he turned and left, Julian following close behind, his expression filled with barely concealed hope and impatience.⸻Whitney was seated in the living room of the Marlowe residence, idly scrolling through her phone when a servant informed her that Lazarus wanted to see her immediately. Sensing something unusual, she stood up and headed over at once.“Dad,” she said as she approached him, her brows knitting together. “You called me over so urgently. Did

“Rest assured, Mr. Lazarus,” Adam said calmly, his tone steady yet faintly weary. “As long as I can recover my vitality, repairing your son’s core will not be an issue. However…” He paused, his gaze lowering slightly. “I am concerned that Ms. Marlowe may not be willing to cooperate.”Lazarus’s expression hardened. “That’s not something you need to worry about,” he said flatly. “I’ll speak to her myself. She’ll come to you tonight.”With that, he turned and left, Julian following closely behind, his steps filled with barely contained excitement.Whitney was seated in the living room of the Marlowe residence, idly flipping through a book when she sensed the atmosphere shift. The servants grew quiet, and the air felt heavy. When she looked up, Lazarus was already approaching her.“Dad,” she said, standing up instinctively, “you sent for me so urgently. What’s going on?”Lazarus stopped a short distance away. He opened his mouth, then closed it again, clearly struggling to find the right

Adam lifted his hand slightly, interrupting the charged silence. His tone was calm, but the words he spoke struck like thunder.“Mr. Lazarus is right. Six months is indeed a short time. However—” He paused deliberately, letting the tension build. “—if you wait that long, your destroyed core may become completely irreparable.”The room froze.Julian’s breath hitched. His pupils shrank as he lunged forward and grabbed Adam by the arms, forgetting all decorum. “What did you say?!” he demanded, his voice trembling. “You mean… my core can be restored?”For years, Julian had resigned himself to being a cripple—someone who could neither cultivate nor rise above ordinary men. Regaining basic function had already felt like a miracle. The idea of repairing his core entirely was something he had never even dared to imagine.“Dr. Miracle,” Lazarus said slowly, his usually composed face betraying both disbelief and restrained excitement, “repairing a destroyed core is unheard of. Even ancient sect

“Dream on!” Whitney shoved Adam away with all her strength, her face pale with fury and panic. She didn’t dare linger for even a second. Turning on her heels, she fled the room as if chased by a demon, her footsteps echoing down the corridor.Adam watched her retreating figure, a faint, unreadable smile curling at the corners of his lips. He didn’t pursue her. There was no need. Some seeds, once planted, would take root on their own.The next morning, Adam appeared refreshed on the surface, though his complexion still carried a deliberate hint of pallor. At his request, Lazarus and Julian soon arrived.“Dr. Miracle,” Lazarus greeted with a practiced smile, “how have you been these past few days? Has your condition improved at all?”Adam sighed lightly, as if weighed down by invisible fatigue. “I’m managing, but the loss of vital energy from refining the pills was severe. Recovery has been… slow.”Julian’s heart tightened at once. “Dr. Miracle, is there truly no way to restore your vit
