2024-12-04 15:34:17Sophia was so shocked that she didn't realize she had been standing like a statue for over five minutes.
Once she jolted out of the shock, she frowned. " What happened to him? Why is he transferring aggression? That wimp!" She scoffed and walked out of the hospital. …… The door to the surgical conference room pushed open, and all eyes fell on Slade as he walked into the conference room filled with professional doctors and veterans professors. Whispers and murmurs followed, as it was a shock to them. He had never attended a conference meeting. In fact, after the incident in the operating room where a patient died due to excessive bleeding, he was never allowed to participate in any surgical conference meeting, let alone conduct surgery on any patients. Then, it was in his past life. " What are you doing here?" a masculine voice boomed in the room, while every other doctor and professor kept quiet. " What do you mean?" Slade shrugged as he took his seat, placed his laptop on the desk, and began to jot down what the surgical conference was all about. " I'm asking you, bastard! What are you doing here?" The masculine voice yelled again, this time with a bang on the table. " Brother Michael, I'm a surgeon. Isn't it right that I attend this conference?" Slade looked at his stepbrother over his shoulder with a triumphant smile on his lips. He knew that Michael and Caleb were trying hard to implicate him. To Michael, he believed that the surgery given to Slade was not successful, and as such, the patient must have died during the surgery due to excessive bleeding. " What!" Michael couldn't believe his ears. He didn't believe that Slade, the "motherless bastard," could talk back at him with boldness and confidence. " Are you surprised that I'm still here? My patient survived the surgery and has been tranferred to the ICU, so be rest assured, brother." Slade was, in fact, mocking Michael, who instantly turned pale at his words. Micheal couldn't just wrap his head around what was happening. This wasn't how he and Caleb planned it. The patient was supposed to die due to excessive bleeding, only then could Slade be kicked out of Goshen Medical Center, but that wasn't the case. " What could possibly go wrong?" Michael thought inwardly as he bit the wall of his mouth aggressively. " If you're shocked about what happened, you shouldn't be, Brother Michael," Slade said, his voice cold like a double-edged sword. " I found out that before the surgery, my patient was given anticoagulant medication, so as to have excessive bleeding during the surgery." " Who said I did that!" Michael was quick to defend himself, causing murmurs and whispers to rent the air. " But, Brother Michael, I never mentioned your name or anybody's name, so why did you assume it was you?" " You!" Michael gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. " Leave this conference room now!" " Can I know what illness this patient has?" Slade totally ignored Michael and turned to one of the doctors beside him. " Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). It is a highly aggressive and malignant brain tumor with a 5-10% rate of survival during the surgery." the doctor narrated, heaving a sigh before he continued. " I don't think he will survive even before we take out the brain tumor. It is highly risky." Slade fell silent for a second as he continued staring at the big screen, which contained the computer tomography (CT) scan of the patient. He suddenly raised his hand for some reason, causing all eyes to fall on him. " Do you have anything to say?" the doctor in charge of the conference asked. " I will perform the surgery." Slade announced, and murmurs rented the air, which slowly turned into laughter–mocking laughter. " You are not a neurosurgeon; what makes you think you can take out a brain tumor from a patient who has just a 5-10% chance of survival?" a doctor asked, and the others burst into laughter. Slade didn't let them get to him. He remained quiet until their laughter died down before he spoke up. " In the last surgical conference, you all agreed that if I could successfully save Mr. Kings, I would be given a chance to perform other surgeries. Isn't that the case?" Slade raised an eyebrow. " Why the change now? You have to be responsible for your promises." They all began to clear their throats as they hung their heads low. " Even the best neurosurgeon in Goshen Medical Center is hesitant to take up the surgery," Michael smirked. " Do you even have an idea who the patient is? He is the Prime Minister's only son!" " Thank you for the information, but I'm not interested in whoever the patient is. All I know is that I want to perform the surgery." Slade himself seemed surprised at his sudden confidence and boldness. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that the Prime Minister's son would survive if he was the one who performs the surgery. " If he can indeed save the Prime Minister's son, I will resign!" One of the doctors in the conference room taunted, loud enough for Slade to hear, but he remained quiet. " We can't give the surgery to him, Doctor Michael. What if the Prime Minister's son doesn't survive it? Our medical center will be shut down!" One of the professors said, and the others nodded, throwing mocking glances at Slade. Michael remained quiet for a while, before a smirk curled on his lips and he spoke up. " We should give him the benefit of doubt. He should do the surgery." Slade smiled, but it was short-lived when Michael went ahead to speak again. " But, in return, if the Prime Minister's son doesn't survive, you will resign from this hospital forever." He knew where his stepbrother was heading. Slade knew that this was another chance to get rid of him by making him take the blame if the Prime Minister's son dies during the surgery. He remained quiet, with his head hung low, as he thought about it. Michael laughed in a mocking tone. " What? Cat got your tongue? Are you going to back out now?" " I agree." Slade suddenly said, catching everyone by surprise. " What?" Michael couldn't believe it. His stomach twisted in happiness at the thought of getting rid of Slade once he ended up killing the Prime Minister's son. " Yes. I will perform the surgery, and if things goes south, I will resign and never return to Goshen Medical Center forever." Slade knew that the weight of his words was significant, and could cost him his future, but nevertheless, something in him kept prompting him to perform the surgery

“ Why would I do that? You aren't even worth it,” Nathan chuckled, but Slade could tell that he was damn nervous.However, others couldn't see what he saw.“ Why would I want you out of your father's medical center when you're nothing but an errand doctor?” Nathan mocked, and the guests burst into laughter. Sophia's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, so did her family's. Her mother was already seething with anger.“ Enough!” Granny Victoria raised her hand, and the argument stopped immediately. She exuded an aura of power. “ You!” She pointed at Slade. “ Go join the maids and do all the dishes the guests used."Nathan and Mulan smiled, but Slade's next words shocked them to their core.“ Grandma, why should I do the dishes when there are enough maids and butlers to do them?” Everyone gasped and held their breath, waiting for Granny Victoria's response. She was also shocked, her eyes widening and her mouth parting.“ Did...did you just go against Grandma's words?” Nathan stuttere

Isn't he the son of the hospital's owner? Look at him wearing nothing! What an embarrassing sight!" one of them said." Has he gone mad or something? What's with the tattered clothes?" another asked." I'll never let him touch me!" a patient exclaimed.Slade remained unfazed by their words as he made his way to his office. Unfortunately, he encountered Micheal and Caleb speaking with other directors on his way. They were heading to the boardroom for an important meeting when they came across Slade.Micheal almost laughed at Slade's tattered clothes. To be honest, he looked like a madman, with torn clothes and bloodstains all over his body. The directors scrunch their faces in disgust." Why are you bent on disgracing your father and brothers? Did you come to the hospital like that?" one of the directors asked, his face pi

Micheal was sweating and trembling as he continued stitching up the patient, while Slade was already done and his patient had been transferred to the ICU. He was overwhelmed and still couldn't believe that Slade, the worthless piece of trash, had just won against him.The assisting surgeons inside the operating room began to whisper and murmur among themselves, throwing glances at Micheal. Some of them gazed at Slade with admiration." I can't believe Slade won against the head of surgeons in a surgery competition!" one of them exclaimed." Isn't he the same Slade who was just an errand doctor? How come he possesses such skills?" another surgeon asked." I'm guilty for looking down on him and even sending him on an errand a few days ago! I hope he won't unleash his wrath on me!" The assisting surgeons couldn't help but panic. They were guilty of mocking Slade and sending him to get them coffee before. Now that he had shown his skills, they were afraid he might be promoted to dire

How may I help you?" she asked, her tone condescending.From the look in her eyes to the attitude she was emitting, Slade already knew that she was looking down on him.But one thing she wasn't aware of was that he was no longer a jobless bum, a foolish man, but someone with great medical skills who was also a millionaire." I'm here to make some withdrawals." Slade replied, handing her his card. The banker snorted." If not a hundred dollars, then what?" she murmured to herself, but Slade heard her and kept quiet."

She couldn't believe that a banker would fall to her knees in front of Slade, a man she considered useless. " Why are you kneeling for him? Is he a god or something?" Richard spoke up for the first time since he arrived with Selina. " I don't know, baby. He's a waste, and I can't wait for my sister to divorce him!"

By the time Slade was done with the young master, he was barely breathing. He stopped hitting him, exhaled, and returned to his meal while the manager and waiters rushed to the young master."

He pointed at Slade, who totally ignored him." I'm talking to you! Do you have any idea who he is? He is the young master of the Chen family, one of the biggest families in Capital M City!"

GOING AGAINST THE MATRIACH'S WORDS!
Slade arrived home from work early, as he had a meeting to attend at Grandma Victoria's villa.After taking a cold shower, he arrived at the villa, already ten minutes late. He knew he was in for a barrage of insults, but he was prepared for whatever was coming his way. He had no idea what the meeting was about, as it hadn't occurred in his first life. The Collins family had never called a meeting before his first death, but whatever the meeting was about, Slade wasn't going to let it ruin his plans." You pig! Why are you here so late? How dare you disrespect me!" Grandma Victoria yelled at him before he could even step foot into the family hall. " I was caught up in traffic." Slade replied calmly, taking his seat at the far end of the hall. Usually, during family meetings, he wasn't offered a seat, instead, he would stand at the door entrance. The fact that he was offered a seat for the first time in three years made him suspect that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite

A MEETING AT THR MATRIACH'S VILLA
" Father! What is this all about?" Caleb slammed his fist against the wooden desk in front of him, not caring that other doctors and professors were in the hall as he yelled. " What do you think? I said that Slade here would be in charge of the research for Mayor Ronaldo's illness." Mr. Joshua, their father, said, causing Caleb to scoff." Why would you give it to him? What about Michael? Isn't he more than capable of being in charge of the research?" Caleb asked, glaring at Slade with a fierce intensity. If glares could kill, Slade would certainly be six feet under. Caleb's gaze was taunting, and if not for the fact that Slade was reborn, he would have cowered under the weight of his brother's stare.Slade was once a pathetic and timid individual who always ran away from trouble. He was afraid of his two brothers and never dared to confront them or perform a surgery, despite being skilled enough. However, that was no longer the case."

MAYOR RONALDO'S UNKNOWN ILLNESS.
Like her mother, Quincy, had said, Sophia thought it through at night and decided to go with the flow. She was going to seduce Caleb and climb to the top using him as her ladder. Dressing gorgeously in a tight gown that barely reached her knee length, and wearing smoky makeup, she made her way to Goshen Medical Center. It wasn't like she had business there. She was just there to seduce Caleb – at least, give it a try.Upon getting to Goshen Medical Center, she headed straight to Caleb's office in another department. Caleb was the head of the department in charge of payments owned by the medical center. Upon seeing her, he couldn't get his eyes off her, and neither could the other male employees. They gulped, ogled, and licked their lips at the sight of Sophia. She was indeed a beautiful sight to behold." Sophia, what are you doing here?" Caleb was surprised at her sudden visit, but it didn't stop him from ogling at her curvy shape and huge breasts, which were popping out of he

Slade returned to the house once the police had arrested all the mobsters and the young master of the Chen family had to follow them to write a statement. Though he would be bailed out earlier than the others, because, of course, he was the heir of the Chen family, and they wouldn't want anything to tarnish their son's image." Isn't it suspicious?" Seline asked, seated on a sofa in the sitting room, her eyes narrowed and her head tilted." What's that?" Quincy asked, throwing a chip into her mouth as she read her fashion magazine." The fact that the police came at the right time. Isn't it too suspicious?" Seline asked, and Quincy stopped reading and glanced at her youngest daughter." Yes, it is very much suspicious, but at the same time, it isn't. Maybe someone sent a report to the police, and they happened to come at that particular time. It's a coincidence, Seline." Quincy said, waving her off. Still, Seline couldn't help but ponder about it.Meanwhile, Slade entered his room a

THE NEXT MORNINGThe noise and clanking of iron bars woke Slade up. He walked downstairs to find Sophia and her family in a panic. They were all peeping through the small hole in the entrance door, their faces pale as if they had just seen a ghost." What is happening here?" Slade furrowed his brows." What do you think, you useless pig!" Quincy glared at him. " You beat up the young master of the Chen family, and now he's here with a Mafia lord to deal with you and everyone related to you!"Slade scratched the back of his neck. He had expected Young Master Chen to retaliate, but it was faster than he had thought. He walked towards the window and began to count how many men Young Master Chen had brought with him. There were over thirty! Though he was strong enough to take them down, but they could harm other members of the family, which he didn't want." I will go talk to them."
