“ 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
“ 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
GOSHEN MEDICAL CENTERAs Slade entered the hospital, murmurs and whispers filled the air. Doctors, nurses, and patients couldn't help but glance and mock him." 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
