Henry refrained from taking sides on who was right or wrong, but the incident undoubtedly cast a looming shadow over the family's future. Regardless of the unfolding events, an unmistakable divide would emerge between this family and Queenie and Eric.-Once inside the car, Eric broke the silence. "Do you trust me this much?"Back at the Williams residence, Eric hadn't uttered a word, let alone offered an explanation. He acknowledged that explanations held no value in that particular situation.Sylvia smiled. "Why wouldn't I trust you? Besides, I understand you. You would never do such a thing.""Poor Connor. Queenie clearly came to Salt City with a purpose. If the Oberdeens back her, it's fine. At least we know our enemy. But if it's someone else, it's a bit troublesome.""Thank you," Eric sincerely expressed his gratitude.-At the Williams residence.Queenie had taken Coulson to their room.Connor sat on the sofa, visibly distressed.Henry, Godrick, Amelia, and the rest o
While Coulson was in the restroom, Connor closed the door.After Coulson finished his business, Connor looked at him and asked, "Coulson, tell me honestly, did the Oberdeens really abuse you and your mom?"The events of the previous night made Connor trust Queenie less. However, children didn't lie. Connor wanted to confirm if certain things Queenie had said were true.Coulson looked at Connor and said, "Our home is big like yours, but there are a lot of people, especially older cousins, who bully me. They won't let me play with toys, enjoy tasty food, or join in their games."While speaking, Coulson started sobbing. "They don't even let me see my mom. They are all bad guys."Connor felt a pang in his heart. Just as he was about to say something, Queenie's voice interrupted, "Coulson, are you done yet?"Connor helped Coulson pull up his pants. When they came out, Queenie was holding a suitcase, the one she had brought to Salt City."Let's talk," Connor said."What is there to t
The Oberdeens only knew Eric as a holistic medicine physician and Sylvia as his wife. Unaware of their deep bond, attempting to cause problems, blame, or tarnish their reputation wouldn't be enough to break their connection.Queenie had endured agonizing days for the past five years, with the promise of freedom from the Oberdeens after completing a task.Naturally, Queenie would go all out for her child."You almost caused a disaster!" Connor exclaimed.It wasn't that he aimed to blame Queenie, but he couldn't fathom why she still chose to act this way after all their discussions.Sylvester checked the time and said, "Connor, Eric and Sylvia should be at the hospital by now. You punched Eric last night, so go and apologize in person. If they accept, consider the matter settled."Connor nodded understandingly. Reflecting, he felt he had been too impulsive the previous night.Queenie wiped away tears and said, "Connor, I'll go with you. Mrs. Williams, could you take care of Coulso
In reality, Winston felt at ease. Even if he didn't win today, it would simply be a tie.The other patient had already begun chemotherapy. Neal and his team appeared well-prepared, aiming to recover lost ground.Though the first day's confrontation had ended in a draw, Neal acknowledged that modern medicine's performance that day had been far from commendable. Thus, they could regain some of their reputation by completely outshining holistic medicine today.Winston summoned a nurse to bring in a bed, intending to start the treatment right away. Without consulting the patient's medical history, he had them lie down and instructed an assistant to fetch the silver needle box.Holistic medicine's essence lay in observation, with the pinnacle represented by the use of silver needles. Yet, what Winston demonstrated in holistic medicine that day was just the tip of the iceberg.Winston wasn't concerned about doctors learning his acupoint method because they couldn't. Even those studying
Now, Winston appeared to have little inner energy left as he aged.Eric nodded slightly and said, "Hol. Clarke, take a good rest. I'll handle this patient."After speaking, he picked up the silver needle and continued the treatment.Cameras from various media outlets focused on Eric, leaving many puzzled. They wondered if the acupoint method could be continued by someone else.Eric remained calm, picking up the silver needles and steadily placing them.Witnessing this scene, several holistic physicians were stunned."Impressive! When did we get such amazing talent in our community? Why haven't I heard of him?" exclaimed one of the holistic physicians.Upon closer inspection, it seemed that Eric's skills surpassed Winston's. Logically, they should have heard of such a renowned holistic physician.Winston chuckled. "You all pay too much attention to honor, and you're not attentive enough to the affairs of the holistic medicine field. Hol. Johnson is the only apprentice of Hol. Th
"Sylvia, Eric," Connor said with a beaming smile.Eric nodded at him expressionlessly, and Sylvia replied coldly, "What're you doing here?"She was still upset at Connor for punching Eric last night.Connor awkwardly said, " Queenie made a mistake last night. We came here specifically to apologize to you!"After that, he signaled Queenie.She understood his cues and said, "Eric, Sylvia, I'm really sorry about what happened last night. I was forced into doing something foolish."Sylvia glanced at Queenie and said, "Now that everything is clear, we're family. No need to dwell on it."She was not one to hold grudges. Additionally, she had been doubtful of her. Nevertheless, it was impossible for her not to feel upset.After checking the time, Sylvia added, "Connor, you go do whatever you need. Eric and I are heading to the Innova Group."The two got into their car and left.Feeling anxious, Queenie asked Connor, "Is everything really okay, Connor?"Connor reassured her, "If Syl
Queenie had arrived in Salt City but hadn't completed her mission. Since turning back wasn't an option, the Oberdeens wouldn't let her off easily.Sylvester suggested, "How about I call Seraphine and ask her to warn the Oberdeens in the name of the Montgomerys?"He believed it was the best approach without direct confrontation."Don't do that," Connor said. "We shouldn't trouble Seraphine with such matters. Whether the Oberdeens listen or not is another matter. We want them to know it's not the Montgomerys they shouldn't mess with but the Williams!"Connor believed that there was nothing to fear as long as the three of them stuck together. They didn't require assistance from the Montgomerys or Eric, and the Oberdeens didn't intimidate them either.-After dinner, Eric and Sylvia returned home. Eric had a busy schedule the next day, with a second treatment session at a patient's house followed by work at the Innova Group.Since the duel between holistic and modern medicine in Sal
The hospital accommodated numerous patients, being the largest in Salt City.Kirk intentionally guided Eric to the cancer patients' wards, fully aware of his ability to assist them.With a sigh, Kirk conveyed, "Salt City has relatively few cancer patients compared to other places, and many arrive at an advanced stage. Despite advancements in chemotherapy, the mortality rate remains high. Though there are targeted drugs, they're often unaffordable for ordinary families."Gesturing toward a specific ward, he continued solemnly. "One patient left a lasting impression on me. It's a teenager from the countryside. Despite the availability of medical treatment, his family is struggling financially. The mother cares for him in the hospital, while the father takes temporary jobs in Salt City to support them."Hol. Johnson, what if they had no funds? Would they take the child home? Chemotherapy is arduous, but the child is resilient. Hospitals save lives, yet witnessing families and individu
