"Captain, my wife just had an accident, and I need to get to the hospital urgently. Please let me leave work early!"However, the older man stared at the young man with a fierce and mocking gaze, his face showing a hint of ridicule as he sneered."Fine, just submit a resignation letter, and I'll let you go early.""Sir..."The young man's name was Ethan, and he was initially from the prestigious Alexander family in the capital. A few years ago, he was betrayed and expelled from his family, forced to move south, and eventually married into the Edwards family.The petty and vindictive captain held a grudge over a trivial conflict and made things difficult for Ethan, looking for every opportunity to get him out of sight."Don't look at me like that, and you've already taken more days off than allowed this month. If you want more, quit and take care of your wife!"The captain's indifferent and sarcastic tone, devoid of empathy, turned Ethan's face red with anger and resentment.Ethan's wi
Ethan was unsure how he had arrived at the hospital. Everything that had just happened in his mind was truly incredible. A device had somehow entered his head and operated a system within it.However, the most crucial aspect is that this machine can transmit a vast amount of knowledge Ethan had never read before directly into his brain.This device also possesses the unique functionality of analyzing the physical condition of others by scanning them multi-dimensionally. It can discern feelings and anguishing personality features by examining facial expressions and neural activity.Simultaneously, it can predict situations and specific objects through its analyzed data. Right now, Ethan's gaze falls upon a young woman walking down the street. He can see her emotional state and physical condition in remarkable detail.Tazanna Smith: 21 years oldGender: FemaleEmotional Index: 11 (negative)Identifying features: A red mole under the left corner of her right eye, dark brown eyes, straigh
"Don't worry, Mom. I've already provided enough blood for Dad. The doctor said that his surgery could proceed as planned." Ethan reassured her, despite his mother-in-law's apparent aversion.However, Mabel simply ignored him, intentionally turning to look at Toshan instead. It was only now that Ethan had a chance to observe the man: dressed in a vest and leather shoes, he exuded an air of sophistication and success, truly the epitome of an accomplished man."Toshan, you've heard as well. Melanie's father will have his surgery tonight. Thanks to you, the operation can proceed smoothly!"As Mabel conversed with the man named Toshan, her beaming expression was entirely different from the one she wore when speaking with her son-in-law, Ethan. This made Ethan feel slightly uncomfortable.Toshan, for his part, responded to Mabel with a smile: "Auntie, it's my responsibility to help out. Melanie and I are not strangers; I'm familiar with your family. I'm no longer planning to go abroad and w
When he woke up, Ethan was lying in a hospital room with a female nurse diligently taking notes: "May I ask, what time is it now?" With his weak, hoarse voice, Ethan asked the nurse. At that moment, the nurse seemed startled and hurriedly turned to look at him, her face showing a layer of red blush, embarrassed."Oh, you're awake now? I warned you earlier, but you didn't listen. How do you feel now? Are you much better?" As if trying to avoid her embarrassment, the nurse quickly hid the paper behind her back and incessantly inquired about Ethan's health. Ethan didn't notice the nurse's confusion; instead, he looked around at the walls, then asked a seemingly unrelated question: "How long have I been here? Who brought me here?"Whether Ethan was dizzy from blood loss or troubled by something in his heart was unclear. At that moment, there was no light in his eyes, only a layer of hazy, dark, and desperate mist."You've been here for over an hour. A man named Toshan brought you here e
"Jump now. If you want to jump, why don't you?""You... you... you can't come here... I... I'll jump!"As Ethan drew closer, the girl became increasingly agitated. In a split second, she stepped back, lost her footing, and nearly fell."Ah!!! Help me!!!"At this point, the girl's scream was so high-pitched that even Ethan, standing more than ten paces away, had to cover his ears."What are you yelling for? Haven't you fallen into the river yet? And, if you wanted to commit suicide, why are you so afraid of dying?"Hearing Ethan's sarcastic tone, the girl no longer wanted to end her life. Instead, she was filled with resentment and continued to scream."You're despicable, you wretched man! If something happens to me, you're the murderer who killed me! Even as a ghost, I won't leave you alone!"As the girl continued to shriek, onlookers driving by cast suspicious glances. Ethan sighed, hurried over, grabbed the girl's hand clutching the railing, and shouted."Come up here. Stop yelling
"Don't get the wrong idea; I just wanted to repay you for saving me earlier!"While fleeing, Tazanna explained to Ethan as they ran side by side. However, Ethan's gaze remained fixed on her back, his eyes filled with complex emotions.Until this moment, he finally remembered that this girl was the same one he had met in front of the hospital. At that time, he was scolded by her. Unexpectedly, they would meet again now."Huh, what are you staring at? Do you believe that I can gouge out your eyes and rub them under my feet?"Feeling Ethan's gaze on her, Tazanna couldn't help but speak sarcastically."Ha ha ha!"But as soon as Ethan heard her familiar tone, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. Tazanna seemed to remember their previous encounter at the hospital and angrily kicked Ethan."Oh...!"Whether intentionally or accidentally, her kick precisely hit Ethan's lower body, instantly stopping his laughter. He widened his eyes, turned pale, stared at Tazanna, and continuously clutch
Witnessing the nurse shake her head and sigh, Ethan's heart pounded. However, upon hearing Tazanna's situation wasn't too dire, he breathed a small sigh of relief.Although they had just met and Tazanna had caused him to be misunderstood and beaten by thugs, Ethan couldn't help but hope she would pull through this ordeal as he wanted to ask more about her condition.A group of bodyguards in black vests quickly approached the operating room. Leading them was a middle-aged man with a stern, cold expression.Seeing these imposing individuals rush in, Ethan couldn't help but worry about their identities. However, it didn't take long for the angry voice of the leading man to address the two bodyguards next to him."What on earth happened? Why was my daughter stabbed and hospitalized?"The man's voice wasn't loud but carried an authority that left no room for defiance, startling the two bodyguards. One of them hurriedly began to explain."Boss, the situation was completely unexpected. We ne
Initially, saving someone's life shouldn't come with the expectation of gratitude. However, after witnessing the man's swift change of demeanor, faster than the flip of a hand, Ethan couldn't help but feel uneasy.Of course, he didn't save Tazanna for money or any favor from this man. At the very least, the man should have shown some sincerity and offered thanks for saving his daughter. Instead, how he treated Ethan differed significantly from how he had just treated the hospital doctor.Nonetheless, Ethan didn't harbor any ill intentions, so he ignored Wynstan's threatening words and responded indifferently: "I just happened to come across your daughter on the street. If you think I saved her for some ulterior motive, let me be frank – not everyone in this world is as wicked as you imagine. While I may be poor in wealth, I'm not poor in morals like you. Excuse me, and I have to go now."After saying this, Ethan resolutely turned and left, disregarding Wynstan's furious gaze.At this
