"Logan, a patient just left room 1A. You need to clean it up right away before the next one gets there."Logan Kane, the hospital janitor with a sturdy build and a handsome face, turned to the nurse."Room 1A? Isn't that Ariana's area?" Logan asked as he organized his cleaning supplies.The nurse looked at Logan with a hint of sarcasm before replying, "Yes, your wife is taking care of patients there. Maybe if you're lucky, you might see her."Logan grinned widely. The chance to see his wife at work was rare. Ariana was always busy and even avoided meeting during breaks."Alright, I'll head there!" he said.However, before Logan could leave, the nurse handed him a plastic bag."Give this to Ariana," the nurse said. It's some condoms."Logan frowned. "What for?"The nurse shook her head. "Just ask your wife."Logan chose not to dwell on it and hurried to room 1A."Uhh... Ahhh..."Standing before the door, Logan heard familiar yet unsettling noises."Ariana?"But there was no reply, only
Harrison's skin prickled as Logan's whisper cut sharply into his ear, cold, unfeeling, and arrogant. His body trembled slightly, realizing Logan was deadly serious. He felt a profound, unprecedented fear wash over him.Logan continued, "Obey me carefully, you old far. If you don't cooperate, you will die. Dismiss all of Ariana's demands against me. Do not impose any penalties that would harm me. Instead, you must ensure Ariana compensates for all of this.""But…" Harrison began to protest."Shut your mouth," Logan hissed like a snake. "Don't you realize your life and death are in my hands, old man?!"Judge Harrison immediately fell silent. Logan felt he had made himself perfectly clear. With a final pat on the judge's shoulder, he stood up and turned to face the room, surveying the gathered crowd.DING![Wow, you really know the fastest way to become popular, don't you?]Logan scratched his head, ignoring the system widget blinking in front of him.[Even though popularity gives a plea
"Logan's trap?" Natalie raised an eyebrow. "I can't believe you're talking nonsense in such a critical situation, Bruno. If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, I'll file a negative report about you!""Listen to me until I damn finish!" Bruno raised his voice. "What's gotten into you, Natalie? How can you believe that a cup of warm ginger can cure a serious internal condition like variceal hematemesis? The ginger might actually harm our patient. What if Logan is trying to kill Judge Harrison to avoid criminal charges? Haven't you thought of that?"Natalie fell silent, the truth in Bruno's words dawning on her. If Judge Harrison died, the next judge might impose a lighter sentence on Logan, or even acquit him. It made perfect sense that Logan had a motive to kill the judge.Natalie lifted her head and eyed Logan suspiciously. She hesitated before asking, "Is what Bruno said about you true?"Logan gave a cryptic smile, shrugged casually, and said, "Believe Bruno or believe me,
Bruno abandoned his medical equipment and stood up. He waved to the perimeter guards, signaling them to let Logan through."Let him through," he ordered.Following Bruno's direct order, the guards immediately parted and allowed Logan to pass through.On the other side, Troye approached Shania, doubt evident in his voice. "Miss Moore, does Logan really have medical skills?"Shania shot Troye a sharp glance but said nothing.Troye cleared his throat, feeling uncomfortable. "I know you're angry at me for giving up so easily. I just want to make sure..."Shania sighed deeply, then spoke softly, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you. You need to see it for yourself."Troye nodded slowly, refocusing on Logan, who stood close to Bruno and Natalie. Logan's eyes burned with a blend of anger and resentment aimed at Bruno. Bruno twitched nervously, attempting to conceal his unease.Logan ignored Bruno completely and turned to Natalie, who regarded him with curious eyes."Logan Maxwell," she mur
All eyes fixed on Logan with curious expressions and whispers rippling through the crowd."Logan, a mere janitor, assisting Judge Harrison? Impossible," someone remarked incredulously."Perhaps he imagines mopping hospital floors has somehow imparted medical knowledge," another replied. "Still, Judge Harrison's illness is grave. Just observe how seasoned doctors like Natalie and Bruno appear to wrestle with despair.""I see. Logan is too naive if he believes he can measure up to the medical expertise of Dr. Natalie and Dr. Bruno."Despite the barrage of disparaging remarks directed his way, Logan remained unperturbed. His smile persisted, radiating unshakable confidence.The officer in front of Logan chuckled softly and asked, "I don't quite follow your reasoning. Have you pursued medical education before and obtained a medical degree?"Logan simply shook his head. The officer chuckled again, joined now by several participants behind him, who also began to laugh softly.With a restrai
Lying on the floor, his body convulsing, blood continued to spurt from the judge's mouth.The room fell silent for a moment before the officers sprang into action. Logan watched as the courtroom guards quickly surrounded Harrison, who was convulsing on the floor. Meanwhile, the people in the audience stood up from their seats, straining to get a better view."Damn, Judge Harrison's hematemesis is acting up!" one of the officers shouted in panic. "Quick, call an ambulance!" He then turned to the entire courtroom, shouting loudly, "Is there a doctor here?"Bruno immediately raised his hand confidently, thinking he would be the sole hero for Judge Harrison. However, someone else also raised their hand from the back row. "A neurologist here!" the voice shouted.Logan turned toward the voice, spotting a woman in the back corner of the courtroom with her hand raised high. Frowning, Logan realized something."Isn't that Natalie Harper, one of the most renowned doctors at Southriver Hospital
After a few minutes, a voice over the intercom announced that the trial was about to start. Logan, Shania, and Troye exchanged a few final words, finished their snacks, and stood up, ready to face what was coming."Huff, just a few more hours and this will all be over," Shania said with a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, Logan. They can't charge you that easily."Shania smiled confidently, certain they would soon win the trial with Troye's help. But just as she was feeling optimistic, Troye spoke up in a hesitant tone, "Actually, Miss Moore, I can't guarantee Mr. Kane will win this trial. Please don't be overconfident."Shania frowned and asked in bewilderment, "I thought you could expose the judge's corruption with your speaking skills. Are you saying you can't—""You're mistaken," Troye interrupted, his tone tinged with offense as he sensed the accusation in Shania's words. "I can expose the judge's crimes to everyone, but he's still the one running this trial. Even if his corruption i
When all eyes fixed on Judge Harrison, the old man stayed silent, sweat beading on his forehead. Anyone, even a 4-year-old, could tell he was nervous. "This is highly unusual," someone half-whispered. "Judge Harrison is always professional in his work. In every trial he leads, his demeanor is consistent: cold, indifferent, and calm. But now..." Another person immediately agreed, stating that there was something different about Judge Harrison today. "Yet, this is just a divorce hearing," another interjected. "He shouldn't be making such complicated decisions since both parties want the separation. Why does he look like he's presiding over a criminal trial?" Aware that negative comments were mounting against him, Judge Harrison knew his silence would only lead to disaster. He decisively rapped his gavel, startling everyone. "The trial will reconvene after lunch," he stated curtly. "What?!" The room instantly buzzed with murmurs as people exchanged bewildered glances at Judge Harri
As the attendees in the courtroom began to settle down, the door at the back opened, and a dignified man in a black robe entered the room. It was Judge Harrison, an elderly man with thinning white hair, yet exuding an aura of undeniable authority. Everyone in the room immediately stood up as a sign of respect."Please be seated," Judge Harrison commanded with a deep, authoritative voice, after taking his place at the judge's bench. He rapped his gavel once, signaling the start of the trial.The attendees settled back into their seats, the atmosphere growing intensely serious. Judge Harrison surveyed the entire room with keen eyes before continuing."The divorce trial between Ariana and Logan is officially commencing," he announced, his voice resonating throughout the room. "Counsel for the plaintiff, please present your demands."Ariana's lawyer, a middle-aged man with a slick demeanor, stood up and moved to the front. His name was Ronald Baxter, notorious for his aggressive tactics.
Without a pause, Emily's hand shot out, the slap echoing sharply in the tense silence that followed.SLAP!"You sorry excuse for a man!" Emily's voice sliced through the air, dripping with scorn. "Logan's barely out of his twenties, and you, well past fifty. Aren't you ashamed, cowering before someone half your age?"At her words, Soegi's gaze swept over Logan, taking in the young man's muscular frame, a stark contrast to his own frail, aging body.Comparing himself to Logan was like measuring earth against the sky—utterly unfair and illogical."Honey," Soegi pleaded, his voice strained. "Please, let's not say things that defy reason. How could an old man possibly outperform a young one?"However, immediately after Soegi uttered those words, another slap landed on his face, even harder than the first. His wrinkled face flushed crimson, resembling a boiled crab."Age dictates everything," his wife scolded once more. "If I say you can defeat Logan, then you must! I won't tolerate any ex
