Although retired for many years, Josh still paid close attention to various things, particularly local news in Salt City.After hearing Eric's words, he was somewhat angry. "How did he become so reckless? While we aren't lacking in food, enjoying three meals a day with abundant dishes, grains remain crucial! What a reckless fellow!"After venting, he felt relieved. Initially, he thought it might be a misunderstanding, but it now seemed to him that Hubert had done something unforgivable.In the end, Josh despised evil. Politicians of that generation were always like that. Despite not having much wealth, he had a strong backbone and never easily yielded to temptation.After dinner, Josh had a lengthy conversation with Eric. From Eric's words, Josh deduced some things. Eric's ability to sign arrest warrants swiftly indicated his elevated status."Remember my words," Josh emphasized. "The higher the position, the more challenging it is to rectify mistakes! Even if rectifiable, some wo
Early in the morning, around 5:00 a.m., Eric and Sylvia were abruptly awakened by an urgent phone call."Mom..." Sylvia was speechless. "Why are you calling so early? What's the matter?"She was someone who did not like to be disturbed in the early hours, and there was still an hour before their usual waking time.Amelia's anxious voice came from the other end. "Still sleeping? Hurry up and get up! Your sister-in-law is in labor! We're all heading to the hospital! Don't forget to wake up Eric!"Upon hearing that Misty was in labor, Sylvia immediately became awake. She nudged Eric and said, "Wake up! Misty is about to give birth! Mom said her abdomen started hurting!"Eric stretched lazily and said, "What's the rush? Labor pain lasts for several hours. Sometimes, it might even last for ten to even 24 hours.""Hurry up!" Sylvia pulled Eric out of bed. "Mom said you must come! Besides, Misty is your best friend's daughter! Are you not worried about her?"The couple got up, freshene
Irvin fervently wished for Misty to give birth to a boy."Are you genuinely hoping Misty's child is a boy?" Eric asked."Absolutely," Irvin affirmed.Eric understood and remarked, "In holistic medicine, there are indeed methods to influence gender. Alright. When Brook and Misty decide to have a second child, I'll inquire about their preference."Irvin nodded, then asked, "It's been quite some time. Why hasn't she come out yet? Could there be any complications?""Shut your mouth!" Elizabeth snapped, "There's nothing to worry about with Eric here!"Despite her reprimand, her eyes betrayed concern. Only those who had undergone such experiences understood the potential dangers. Despite advanced medical care, there were always risks and uncertainties. Elizabeth genuinely fretted for her daughter.Eric reassured them, "Don't worry. I checked on Misty two days ago, and she's doing well. There shouldn't be any issues."Elizabeth nodded understandingly.-Finally, at noon, Brook's chi
After finishing work, Andy hurriedly sought out Eric."Eric, drive to the basement first, and we'll leave from there! That woman is here again!"Eric was at a loss for words. Considering Andy's wealth and social standing, it was normal for him to attract a different kind of woman.Eric drove to the basement, picked up Andy, and left with Sylvia.When they reached Andy's place, Elly came down.Seeing Andy in Eric's car, she asked, "Andy, where's your car?"She knew that Andy had two cars. One was the Audi A6 he bought when the Innova Group was just established, and later, as the company grew, they provided him with a Mercedes. Originally, it came with a driver, but Andy insisted on driving the car himself, so he did not need a driver.Sylvia chuckled. "Elly, you need to be careful. Another woman is pursuing Andy.""What do you mean?" Elly asked.Saying that Elly did not feel a crisis was definitely untrue. By the time she married Andy, she was already over 30 years old with two
Eric sighed. "The situation is serious. Tonight, troops from Salt City will head to Dortmund City to provide support. Dortmund City will be locked down precisely at midnight."His voice trembled. After all, Dortmund City housed a population of millions, and numerous issues would arise once it was under lockdown.Everyone was stunned."Let's have dinner first. There's not much we can do to help, but we'll do our best to support Dortmund City after the lockdown," Irvin suggested.After speaking, he called the relevant departments of Sonnex Corp. to commence purchasing essential supplies in large quantities tomorrow. Late in the evening, Eric received the news that Dortmund City would soon be locked down.By midnight, the information was spreading all over the Internet.The Combat Department wasn't involved in this operation. The military dispatched their troops to Dortmund City. Some related experts had been stationed there half a month ago.-When Eric was ready to rest, Winst
Eric arrived in Dortmund City around noon. The highway entrance to Dortmund City was already under military control, and all vehicles heading that way were being turned away. Eric rushed all the way and was stopped by military personnel at the highway entrance. He was allowed to pass after showing his credentials as a Lieutenant General.Once inside Dortmund City, Eric immediately contacted Winston.Winston and the support team from Salt City Hospital were all at the largest hospital in Dortmund City. This place gathered the most authoritative and capable teams from all over the country, including many experts in the field of infectious diseases.There were hardly any vehicles on the road.Eric arrived at the hospital less than 20 minutes after leaving the highway.The situation there shocked Eric. He had never seen anything like it before. Every available space for beds was occupied, with just enough room left for passage. What made Eric heartbroken was that when he arrived, he
Without waiting for Eric's response, the nurse addressed the elderly woman, "Ma'am, trust our hospital instead of some quack. We will cure the boy!"The old woman eyed the nurse skeptically. When the boy convulsed, no one cared, but now that someone attended to him, they expected her to trust the hospital?"Go do your thing," Eric interjected, blocking the nurse. "The boy is under my care."He picked up the removed syringes, relit the paper, and placed them back on the boy's body. The nurse left without a word.Eric finished removing the syringes from the boy and started placing them on his back. Surprisingly, the nurse returned just after he finished, pointing at Eric and shouting, "It's him! This quack has been deceiving our patients! Who knows how much money he has deceived the old woman?!"The hospital can't cure the disease, yet he's trying to deceive people with his tricks!"Seeing the scars on Eric's face, the supervisor was startled.The supervisor smiled. "Sir, plea
The two security guards struggled to contain Eric. Holding the boy, he turned to the distressed woman and asked, "Ma'am, which ward are your family members in? Please take me there."Before the old woman could respond, the supervisor sneered. "Alright, I warned you! Ms. Shelby, call the police!"Just as the nurse reached for her phone, Kirk, Winson, and experts from Salt City Hospital arrived."Make way! Make way!" Kirk urged.Having witnessed Eric's abilities, Kirk respected holistic medicine and led the way for Winson. Even the director of Dortmund City Hospital followed suit.Spotting Eric, Kirk eagerly reached out. "Hol. Johnson, you're finally here!"Eric apologetically stated, "Dr. Gray, sorry, my hands are tied.""It's okay. Hol. Johnson, everyone is in the conference room. Let's discuss it together. This virus is very unusual!"Shaking his head, Eric replied, "You go first. Ma'am, please lead the way."Confronted with numerous patients, Eric couldn't save them all but
