Connor frequently visited shady places, making it highly likely that occurrences like that would transpire."Let's go check it out," Sylvester suggested. If the child truly belonged to Connor, it could severely tarnish the Williams' reputation.-The woman and the child were downstairs.The woman appeared well-dressed, and the young boy exuded charm.Sylvester approached and greeted her, "Hello, my assistant mentioned you're looking for Connor."Caressing the child's head, the woman replied, "Yes, I'm looking for him.""Do you have business with him?" Sylvester asked.The woman glanced at him and replied, "Who are you to Connor?"Dusting his clothes, Sylvester answered, "I'm his brother."The woman seemed visibly surprised. After a moment, she said, "I remember now. Connor mentioned he had two brothers. He didn't lie to me."Sylvester furrowed his brow. This woman appeared well-acquainted with his family, but what was her connection to Connor?"May I ask about your relation
Connor's face was dark. In his memory, Sylvester rarely got angry with them. When he saw Brook and the others, he entered the house silently. "Where's Sylvester?" Henry asked with concern etched on his face. "What happened? Why did he call you all back?""Ask Connor," Brook replied.Puzzled, Connor echoed, "How would I know? Sylvester suddenly called me home, insisting that he wouldn't let me off the hook unless I explained the situation clearly. I'm completely innocent!"Soon, Sylvester arrived, urgently shouting from outside, "I need some help here!"Eric and Brook rushed outside.Astonishment painted their faces as they observed Queenie exiting the car with a child.Brook took charge of the luggage and asked, "Sylvester, what's going on? Who are they? Is that... an illegitimate child?"Sylvester nodded, and Brook was taken aback."Oh my god!" he exclaimed, rushing inside with the suitcase. "Big news! Big news!""What's the matter?" Henry asked."Dad!" Brook exclaimed, bu
Upon hearing Sylvester's words, everyone turned their attention to Brook.Gritting her teeth, Seraphine exclaimed, "Brook!"Brook trembled. "Don't blame me! I just asked him if the boy was an illegitimate child, and he nodded... He didn't tell me that the father is Connor!"After that, he turned to Connor and asked, "Connor, do you know her?"Everyone shifted their gaze to Connor, who kept his head low in silence.Amelia was the first to regain her composure. She rushed toward Queenie and said, "You must be tired from the journey. Come and have a seat! Let me hold the child for you."Queenie handed the child to Amelia and took a seat beside her.Amelia looked at the child with growing fondness. She did not care if he was an illegitimate child. In her eyes, he was her grandson."Connor!" Henry spoke up. "Remaining silent won't resolve this. What's going on? Please give us an explanation!"He was happy to have a grandson now but also concerned about the child being illegitimate.
When Eric observed Queenie, he realized that Coulson and Connor were identical. Every aspect, from the face shape to the lips and nose, made Coulson resemble Connor during his childhood.After a thorough examination, Connor was taken aback. Even he felt that a paternity test seemed unnecessary. This was undeniably his son."What's your name, girl? Where do you live in King City? If you need any help, just tell me. In the next few days, we can make a trip to King City together. I'll help you talk to your parents."Amelia sighed. "Living with a child for four years must have been tough. Why didn't you come to Salt City earlier and find us? Regardless of the circumstances, we'll take responsibility for whatever Connor did."Queenie felt a trace of warmth. She did not want to talk about how she had spent these four years or recall it. She just wanted to find Coulson's biological father and give her child a father."Connor!" Amelia turned to Connor and shouted, "Do you plan to remain s
Connor exclaimed, "You… You escaped?!"He finally understood why he could not reach Queenie. It was the Oberdeens' fault.Also, Queenie did not purposely avoid coming to Salt City—she just could not come.Why else would she use the word "escape"?Queenie nodded and explained, "That's right, I managed to escape! It's been four whole years. They didn't let me leave, and they even separated me from my child!"I often worried about whether coming to Salt City to find you would cause significant trouble for you and your family. But I couldn't endure it any longer. As my son grows up, he'll start questioning where his dad is and why his dad doesn't want him. He wanted to find his dad. Can a child live without a father?"Toward the end of her sentence, Queenie cried again.Connor's face sank. From what she said, he could tell these four years had not been easy for her.He looked at Queenie seriously and said, "Rest assured. I'll take responsibility for what I've done. I'll learn how t
"His name is Eric Johnson," Connor replied.Queenie had never heard of the name before because she had limited contact with the outside world in the past four years. Even within the Oberdeens, few knew about Eric. Their status was not sufficient to learn of his existence."My brother-in-law comes from the Hernandezes in King City. He's also the nephew of Alexander Montgomery and the son of Grace Montgomery, the CEO of Montgomery Corp.," Connor said, looking at Queenie. "Now, do you still think we would fear the Oberdeens?"The Oberdeens were just a third-tier family, while two major families backed Eric. Despite the Hernandezes nearly falling from the top, they were still more powerful than normal families.Queenie hesitated for a moment and then nodded. She did not expect the Williams to have such a formidable son-in-law.-Amelia and the others were unaware of what Connor and Queenie had discussed. All they knew was that Queenie seemed to be in a better mood when she returned
Top-notch holistic physicians achieved expertise through decades of study and accumulated experience.While age wasn't a definitive measure of capability, the correlation between age and medical skills was vividly demonstrated in holistic medicine. It became evident with the leadership of many holistic clinics being held by senior physicians.Despite universities specializing in various aspects of holistic medicine, like herbal medicine, students graduating from these programs often found themselves limited to working in facilities focused on preparing herbal medicines. They lacked the broader skills needed for diagnosis and treatment.Eric couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. Despite his significant reputation in holistic medicine, personal circumstances prevented him from practicing. He wanted to pass down his medical knowledge to benefit more people.Unfortunately, mastering holistic medicine required not just interest but also a certain level of talent and patience far beyon
The showdown between holistic and modern medicine occurred in Salt City. The choice of location was deliberate.Although Salt City was a big city, it had not been well-known before the Innova Group's appearance.The level of holistic medicine in such a city would not be very high, but it would certainly attract significant attention."These people must be up to no good," Sylvia said. "They won't be satisfied until they completely trample holistic medicine."She knew that everything revolved around interests. Without interests, who would bother? Before the showdown commenced, the modern medicine faction had already launched its advertising campaign. In contrast, holistic medicine took a more subdued approach, confining discussions to its circles."It's because we've piqued their interest," Eric remarked. "In the future, the Innova Group's venture into this industry will likely encounter challenges from opponents, whether in modern or holistic medicine."Where interests clashed,
