Slade followed his father to a VIP ward.
Mr. Joshua stopped and turned to Slade, his voice cold and stern. " I heard that you're the one who performed the surgery on Mr. Kings." he started, while Slade's brow creased together. He had no idea who Mr. Kings was, but nevertheless, he nodded. " I don't know why Micheal gave you permission to perform a surgery on an important patient, but still, the man wants to see you. Make sure you're on your best behavior and don't disgrace me!" Mr. Joshua said sternly before walking away with the group of directors behind him. Once he was gone, Slade pushed the ward's door open and went inside. There, he met Mr. Kings munching on his fruit happily. He had a huge smile on his face, and Slade couldn't help but smile too. He had saved the man's life and made him smile again with his incredible skills. Mr. Kings was the man he had operated on after he was given a second chance. If not for his incredible skills, the man would have died after Caleb gave him anticoagulant medication to make him bleed to death. " Doctor Slade?" Mr. Kings called, and Slade walked closer. " Yes." Slade replied. The man flashed him a smile. " This is my daughter, Adeline." he said, pointing to a beautiful woman dressed in luxurious wear, cutting an apple. "Adeline, this is Doctor Slade, the man who did my surgery." " Oh, Doctor Slade. Thank you for saving my father's life." Adeline said, dropping the knife and the apple. She stretched her hand forward for a handshake, which Slade accepted. " You're welcome." Slade smiled and returned his gaze to Mr. Kings, despite feeling Adeline's gaze on him. " How are you feeling?" Slade asked. " As you can see, I'm feeling so healthy and strong! I can jump on my feet now!" Mr. Kings was extremely happy and joyful that he could live once again. When he went to other hospitals, both in Capital M city and abroad, he was told that he wouldn't be able to survive if the surgery was done. But someone recommended Goshen Medical Centre to him. And now, he survived after the surgery and could live as long as possible. " That's good to hear. I heard you called for me." Slade said, and the old man nodded. " Yes. I wanted to show my appreciation to you." Mr. Kings said and nudged his daughter, who stood up with her phone in her hand. " Can I have your account details, Doctor Slade?" Slade frowned. " Why?" he asked. " My father wants to show his appreciation, so he wants to give you a small token of three million dollars." Adeline replied. Slade's eyes widened at the amount of money. Why would someone want to show appreciation with such a huge amount of money? " But you're supposed to pay the money to the Medical Center's account, not mine." Slade said, but Mr. Kings shook his head. " Your father told me so, but I declined. I wanted to give it to you personally." Mr. Kings said. Slade smirked when he remembered the disdainful look his father threw at him. It was because Mr. Kings refused to give the money to the medical center, but to him directly. That was why his father was angry. " You don't have to do this, Mr. Kings. I'm happy that you're fine and healthy." Slade said, wanting to refuse, but the old man was hell-bent. "No, I insist." he said, and Slade heaved a sigh. " Okay then." He finally gave in. " My account details are 000…..xxxxxx." Almost immediately, Slade's phone dinged, and he took it out of his doctor's coat to check. He saw a whopping sum of five million dollars and his heart raced with excitement. Ever since he was born, he had never had such a huge amount of money before. His salary as a doctor was only five thousand dollars, and it could barely cater to his needs. Moreover, he usually used his salary to buy expensive bags for Sophia in his first life. He didn't have any savings or good clothes because he always spent his money on his wife and her family, but not anymore. " That is just a token of appreciation. If you need more, you can call me with this number." Adeline said and gave him her business card. " Thank you, Mr. Kings. If you need my help with anything related to your health, I'm always available." Slade said, bowing his head. He then walked out of the ward. He had been trying to contain his happiness while he was at the ward, but once he was out, he smiled widely and continued staring at the amount in his bank account. He had just become a millionaire overnight; it was now time to put his wife and her family in their places!Slade made his way to the bank to make some withdrawals, get a new phone, and buy some clothes.He rode a cab to the bank and joined the queue. Once it was his turn, the banker looked down on him. She had known Slade for two years, since he married Sophia and became the son-in-law of the Collins family.To her, Slade was a jobless bum who was senseless and behaved like a fool." 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." I'm here to withdraw a million dollars." he intentionally drew his words, causing the banker
The banker began to panic as she withdrew a million dollars and handed it over to Slade. He received the money and was about to leave the bank when the banker fell to her knees, right in front of Selina and her boyfriend, Richard. " I... I'm sorry, Mr. Ryan, please forgive me." she begged. Slade halted in his tracks while Selina's mouth opened in disbelief. 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!" Selina glared at Slade, her eyes burning with hatred and disgust. " Will you stand up and attend to us?" Richard said, but the banker remained on her knees, her eyes staring at Slade's back, hoping he would forgive her. If words got out about how she treated a VIP customer, she would definitely lose h
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." Young Master Chen!" they called, trying to wake him up, but he was already unconscious." You!" The manager stood up and walked towards Slade. " What have you done?" 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!" The manager yelled, trying to get a reaction from Slade, but unfortunately, he got none." With just one phone call from them, you'd be as good as dead!" The manager was still speaking when the door to the restaurant pushed open, and a few people rushed in. One of them was an old man." Young Master Chen!" he called, rushing towards the unconscious Chen. " Who did this to him?"At first, the restaurant turned silent, except for the noise fr
“ What are you going to do about him?” a feminine voice said, her eyes filled with worry, as she took occasional glances at the man lying on the bed.“ I’m going to kill him, of course. You belong to me. I won’t let this wimp take you and Goshen Medical Centre from me!” A masculine voice followed, filled with disdain and a bitter taste of hatred.“ What if the forensic pathologist finds out about the cause of his death?” The female in the room was clouded in sweat, and her face was pale with fear. “I don’t want to go to jail for the death of your step brother. He is my husband.”“ Can you shut up for once?” Caleb yelled at the female beside him. “I need you to trust me, Sophia. I won’t leave a trace. The forensic pathologists won’t find the cause of his death, no matter how hard they try.”Caleb smirked callously as he dragged his gaze from Sophia to Slade, the man lying unconsciously on the bed.“ But first, before I kill him, I have to get the code for the research he is working
" Are you okay, Doctor?" a feminine voice asked, causing Slade's eyes to peel open almost immediately. He blinked a few times and looked around, only to find himself in the operating room with a scalpel in his hand and a patient undergoing surgery in front of him. " Are you okay, Doctor?" another voice asked when they saw Slade blinking rapidly. " Yes...yes, I'm fine," he said and turned to one of the surgical assistants before asking, " What is today's date and what year are we in?" At first, they were all surprised and shocked at the same time, but one of them spoke up. " Today's date is 24th September 2022." " Are you sure?" Slade asked, making them even more surprised, but no one dared to say a word. " Yes, Doctor," the surgical assistant replied. Slade inhaled slowly, his mind drifting to his past life and how he was killed by his stepbrother, Caleb, and his wife, Sophia. He was given a second chance and was brought back two months before his death. He took a dee
Slade had never in his entire life tried to fight against his stepmother. He had so much respect for her, despite her despising him with every drop of blood in her body. Rita would always blame Slade for her son's wrongdoing and would stop at nothing to taint his image in front of Mr. Ryan, Slade's father, so he would also consider him worthless. Everyone in Capital M City knew Slade to be a worthless piece of trash who didn't deserve Rita's love and attention. Whereas, she would waste no time in abusing and hitting him, once they were out of public sight. For the first time, Slade defended himself. He didn't let his stepmother hit him for the very first time, and the reaction from Rita was priceless. Slade could spend millions of dollars to watch her shocked expression over and over again. "You!" she yelled, her eyes blazing with anger. She didn't care if passersby were looking; all she wanted at that moment was to beat the hell out of him. He had disrespected
Sophia 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 h
COLLINS MANSION The Collins mansion was aglow with bulbs and neon lights, and soft music played inside. A celebration was underway, as Granny Victoria Regina, the matriarch of the Collins family, marked her seventy-fifth birthday tonight. She sat on a special seat that once belonged to her late husband. With a warm smile, she welcomed prestigious guests to her party. " Grandma Victoria, I've brought a jade hairpin worth $30,000." someone said. " Happy birthday, Granny. I've brought you a gift. This box contains the most expensive medical skincare, which will make you look even younger." another person added, and many more gifts followed. Granny Victoria has two sons and a daughter, with many grandchildren, including Sophia, Slade's wife. Sophia is the daughter of Granny Victoria's first son. As Granny Victoria looked around, she couldn't find Slade anywhere, causing a frown to appear on her face. With a stern look and cold voice, she turned sharply towards Sophi
