Ariella reached for her mother instinctively, trying to help her steady herself.

The looks on the faces of the Campbells made Martha regret following Ethan into Morrison's room.

“Who would have thought Mr. Banks was the one with the original? I guess looks can really be deceptive!”

“Mr. Walters has only succeeded in making a fool of himself!”

The Campbells began to look down on Jay.

“I'm sure Jay was cheated!” Emiliano quickly announced, trying to save face.

“The merchant he visited must have played on his intelligence, by selling him a fake. The real question should be how this lowlife was able to get the original!” Martha jumped in as soon as she regained her composure.

Ethan smiled, as he watched them make up all manner of excuses to save face in front of the Campbells.

“I don't owe you any explanation! After all, the gift wasn't for you.” Ethan snapped.

Morrison's smile suddenly froze as he began to gasp for air. A few seconds later he became unconscious.

    The voice of Loretta shocked everyone since she had been silent all along.“That's not happening, Miss,” Jay responded, looking at Loretta with dark interest. “Some of us can see right through this freeloader. I would advise you to ditch him and find someone with better prospects,” he added, licking his lips.“I’ll pretend like I didn't see you making advances at her. Try it again and you'll be lying right next to Mr. Morrison over there,” there was something about Ethan's voice this time that scared Jay to his bones.“How dare you accuse my boyfriend of looking at this…” “Hey, watch it! I've been more than nice to you guys but it would be a mistake to test me right now. You better address her with respect!” Ethan interrupted her with a stern warning.“Who do you think you are to speak to any of us that way? Didn't you just call my daughter a leftover just moments ago?” Martha gritted her teeth.“And was any of that untrue? Besides, was it any fault of mine that the moppet you all ca

    A few minutes after the doctor administered the drug, Morrison opened his eyes to the shock and excitement of everyone in his room.The doctor beamed with joy instantly, “I told you all to trust in my abilities. I wouldn't have even been contacted in the first place if I didn't know my onions in the medical profession, he boasted.“Didn't I tell you not to listen to that punk? It's obvious he was only seeking for attention with his ridiculous remarks,” Martha chipped in, glaring at the nurse who was just rounding up with her face. She felt like slapping her again but changed her mind and just watched her leave the room.“I knew he was only bluffing, that's why I offered to kneel before him and wipe his shoes with my face!” Jay and Loretta laughed scornfully.The Campbells who were initially excited when they saw Morrison open his eyes, quickly gathered around him. But their excitement soon faded when they noticed he wasn't saying anything.“Dr. Philip, why is my father not saying anyt

    The sound of a loud thud caused Ethan to turn around.Ethan wasn't too surprised to find Jay and Ariella kneeling before him. He figured out that something must have happened to Morrison like he had warned them.“What's with the drama now?” Ethan sneered at them.“We..we.. need your help. Please help us.” Ariella fought hard before the words could even leave her mouth.Her mother had taken both her and Jay aside and convinced them to quickly go after Ethan to beg him.At first, Ariella and Jay had refused to even contemplate such a thing.“Mother, how can you even suggest such a thing, knowing fully well how much trouble that lowlife has caused us!” Ariella had argued with her mother. But Martha had reminded her of what would happen to their prestigious hospital if such news came out now especially after the fire incident at their lab.Even though Martha has convinced Ariella and Jay to go after Ethan, she still had other plans.“You! Come here.” Martha called one of the nurses.“Take

    Philip looked at the list that Ethan gave to him and furrowed his brows.“How do you know about all these when you are not even a doctor?” He asked with confusion written all over his face.“Just do as I say and get me those items,” Ethan responded, ignoring his question.Jonathan also took a look at the list and laughed, “Have you gone insane? Do you have any idea what these things are used for?”“You already concluded that Mr. Morrison was dead did you not? So what's with all the questions? Or did you skip some classes in medical school?” Ethan asked disdainfully.“You either allow the man to do his thing or you leave,” Henry's father responded as his temper began to rise.Even Henry was shocked at his Father's outburst as he hardly ever got angry.“Dad, please calm down. I believe grandfather will be all right.” Henry tried to calm his Father down while giving Jonathan a warning stare.Ethan found Martha's silence strange and briefly stared at her but she shot him an icy glance tha

    Ethan went to Morrison and tapped him at certain acupoints and instantly Morrison's eyes opened.He sneezed a couple of times before he began to speak.The Campbells were so excited that several of them came to thank Ethan.“He is so gifted, I wish he didn't have a girlfriend, I would have asked my daughter to date him,” one of the Campbells was heard saying.Jonathan was shocked after seeing Morrison awake and even speaking. He had never seen anything like it in his entire medical practice. He looked at Ethan in disbelief, “Isn't this the same janitor that cleaned my toilet?” He whispered to himself.Philip, who was already convinced that Ethan was not an ordinary person, was about to go on his knees before Ethan but he was stopped by Ethan's firm grip.“There is no need for that Doctor Philip.”“Please young master, forgive my ignorance. You are indeed incredible. I only looked down on you because of your age and what I heard about you.” He pleaded with Ethan.“All is forgiven. Don'

    The tall dark figure was none other than Zack, the police officer.“Hey, Ethan! How are you?” He greeted Ethan and waved at Loretta.“Hello, Zack. I'm fine. Are you here because of the fire incident or the viral video?” Ethan enquired.Zack shook his head, “ None actually. Though I saw the video. You were really impressive in it. I didn't know you had such exceptional medical skills.”Ethan grinned at Zack's compliment.“Thank you. So are you not here in an official capacity?” Loretta asked.“I am actually.” Zack responded with a slight frown.“Can you guys come down from the vehicle?” Zack asked, to their surprise.Ethan said nothing and only signaled to Loretta as the both came out.Zack began searching the Maserati but after searching for several minutes he found nothing. Just as he was giving up, he found something wrapped in a plastic bag that was taped just above one of the tires of the Maserati.“What's this?” Zack whispered as he opened the plastic bag and brought out the cont

    “Mr. Morrison, I see our doctors have nursed you back to health,” he exclaimed excitedly.“What doctors?” Morrison asked, furrowing his brows.“Same ones that concluded I was dead?” Emiliano frowned after he heard what Morrison said.“If they concluded you were dead then how is it that you are doing so well compared to when I left?” He enquired, observing the look on Martha's face.“You have Mr. Banks to thank for that,” Henry volunteered a response.The change in Emiliano's face was visible to all in the room, “Which Mr. Banks are you referring to?” He asked as if he knew several people with the name.“The same one that was once married to your daughter!” Henry snapped, exhausted by Emiliano's pretense.Emiliano gritted his teeth in anger.“I'm sure there must be a mistake somewhere.”“The man whom you refer to as Mr. Banks knows nothing about medical practice. He lived in my house for a couple of years so I know him quite well.”“While it may be true that you know him, there is no

    Andrew yelled for Mr. August’s attention as the burly men carried him out but no one paid him any attention.“Mr. Banks, forgive me for allowing that jerk to insult you, I'll gladly take whatever punishment you decide to give me!” August bowed before Ethan, causing him to feel a little uncomfortable.“It's nothing. It wasn't your fault!” Ethan waved off the matter.“This club is controlled by us. It was my responsibility to make sure it was available for our meeting tonight but I forgot to do that,” August explained to Ethan why he felt so responsible for what had just happened.Ethan nodded his head, “I understand but don't worry about it.” He insisted.“Thank you, Sir,” August responded with another bow.“You told me you have something for me?”“Yes, young master!” August quickly took out a beautiful black box.“The boss wanted you to have this.”The mere look of the box told Ethan it contained something exquisite and expensive.Ethan carefully opened it to reveal a golden ring with

    Gripping the club, Chuck suddenly swung it hard in Ethan’s direction, aiming for his head, but Ethan's sturdy grip easily caught the club in mid-air.Chuck struggled to retrieve the club from Ethan's powerful grip but all his efforts were in pain.“Is that all you've got?” Ethan suddenly asked after watching Chuck struggle to retrieve the club from his grip.Chuck’s frustration was immediately palpable as he tried to land a punch on Ethan’s face but Ethan stopped it with only one finger and swung the club at Chuck's face.“Bang!” In another second Chuck was on the ground with blood oozing freely from his mouth.All the other customers who had initially looked down on Ethan, suddenly gawked at him.“You've simply been a pawn, so I'll spare you and your men. Leave now and don't ever come back!” Ethan warned Chuck as he and his men struggled to get to their feet.Mr. Orlando was also about to leave but Ethan stopped him, “Not you!

I was just about to put this poor fool in his place before you showed up!” Chuck responded, ignoring Mr. Orlando's outburst.Mr. Orlando gritted his teeth. It was almost impossible for him to deny his involvement any longer, “You had a very simple task!
