Although initially skeptical, Sir Runo fully trusted Richard after witnessing his accurate diagnosis.

Richard’s ability to identify the issue instantly confirmed his status as a true miracle doctor in his eyes.

Sir Runo glanced at Richard who was now focused on picking out the specific acupuncture needles he’d need for the treatment.

“Move out of the way,” Sir Runo ordered the butler and walked out, deciding to handle Delilah personally.

When he got outside, Delilah marched towards him with a serious expression. “I need to see the card,” she said.

“Goddess,” Sir Runo said, “I’m sorry. The card… it’s in the young man’s possession now.”

“What?!” Her eyes narrowed. “You handed it over to him?”

“I had no choice,” he replied, his voice firm. “I had to follow the requirements of the card…”

“How could you trust that man?? A nobody?” she interrupted him and scoffed, crossing her arms. “You have to take the card back.”

“I’m sorry, the card can not be retrieved once returned.”

“What!” Delila

    “Goddess,” Sir Runo excitedly called, snapping Delilah out of her thoughts. His eyes sparkled with awe and immeasurable joy as he jumped off the bed. “You wouldn’t believe it if I told you,” he inhaled deeply to calm his excitement. He clasped his hands together briefly before letting out an excited laughter.“My wife’s condition wasn’t actually an illness… it wasn’t! Her meridians had been sealed by a martial arts master…” his words spilled out in quick succession as though he couldn’t contain his excitement. “She couldn't move! She couldn’t talk! Or even blink! But now she can move!..” he exclaimed with tears in his eyes. “The young man managed to undo the blockage in such a short period of time! We’ve been trying to find a solution for years now, but he did it so easily, Goddess. He is indeed a miracle doctor!…”He was so immensely grateful that even a blind man could sense his overwhelming joy.The old man didn’t stop ranting while Delilah had completely zoned out again. Her

    Richard’s eyes widened at Delilah’s utterances. What does she take him for? ‘Consider allowing me to pursue her??’Richard didn’t expect Delilah to be so narcissistic, and hung up the phone on her. “What?!” Delilah exclaimed, her eyes widening when she realized Richard had hung up on her. She glanced at her screen, pressed the phone to her ear, and screamed, “Hey!” repeatedly, her anger growing sharper with each shout. “The audacity?!” she growled. Just then, her driver touched the communication device in his ear, listening intently. A moment later, he nodded sharply and said, “Understood,” his tone brisk and focused.“Your Grace, a report has just come in that the Grovers have been tracked down.”The Grovers were criminals they had been pursuing for a long time now. A slow, predatory smile instantly spread across her face. “Good,” she murmured, her voice low but laced with menace.“Do I have to tell you to turn the car around and go after them before you do?” she snapped at th

    The crowd gasped, heads turning to see who this bold bidder was. Seeing Cane’s high bid, many of them became intimidated and withdrew.The auctioneer raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed. “Two million dollars! That’s an extraordinary one!…”“Two million dollars is a lot!” one of the bidders whispered to his partner, his eyes widening.“Right! I bet no one can go above that. I wouldn’t even dare,” he replied. Suddenly, the CEO of Ghevar pharmaceutical company stood up and shouted, “Two point five million dollars!”Everyone gasped louder, their eyes finding the elderly man. “Two point five million!” The auctioneer’s eyes widened, and his lips stretched into a wider smile. “Wow. Do I hear a Three million? Three million anywhere?”Cane glanced at the CEO, chuckling and shaking his head, pride evident in his expression. He rose with pride and raised his paddle. “Three point five million.”“This man must be loaded!” a young lady said to her friend, staring at Cane lustfully.“Yes he is!

    Richard’s eyes widened in disbelief.He had personally diagnosed Sir Morrigan with Viperis, which was a poison highly difficult to treat–one that even he couldn’t cure without the rare herbs, so how could he possibly be awake?“Is he really awake?” Richard asked again, his brows furrowing in disbelief. “Yes! You can come and see for yourself.”Richard drew in a slow breath, his frown softening. The news seemed almost impossible, yet he hesitated to completely dismiss it.After all, miracles were not out of question in such a vast world, he thought. “I’ll be there shortly,” he said, his voice steady but laced with intrigue.He turned to the driver, urgency in his voice. “Change of plans. Please head to Ironvale. And step on it please,” he simply instructed.After a while, they were almost at Delilah’s villa. Richard couldn’t be more relieved that there was now hope for Sir Morrigan to officially dissolve the engagement. But suddenly, the car behind them surged ahead and swerved sha

    The groans and pained demeanor of the criminals vanished in an instant, their expressions shifting. Their eyes narrowed as they glared at Delilah, who was now casually approaching Richard.Rage burned intensely in their eyes. What they felt went beyond mere anger. Right now, they’d rather die trying to kill the renowned war goddess than face prison.Richard’s sharp eyes caught the dangerous glint in their eyes. His face hardened and he immediately became alert, sensing that something was off. But in contrast, Delilah seemed unconcerned about the criminals she left behind as she walked toward Richard with a smug expression. Suddenly, the men quietly moved closer and helped each other up. They locked their arms together tightly before forming a diamond shape with their index fingers and thumbs as they chanted in low, guttural voices in an attempt to combine their powers. A faint glow burst out of each of them and merged into a swirling orb of energy aimed directly at Delilah. And

    Delilah was barely conscious, her face contorted in agony. She was in excruciating pain, and her heartbeat slowed down, almost coming to a stop.Richard’s hands moved instinctively, checking her pulse, heartbeat and breathing first. He realized her pulse was weak and fading, and every other thing wasn’t looking good. Without hesitation, he grabbed an emergency antidote from his kit, injecting it into her arm. Despite the hostility Delilah had always shown toward him, he couldn’t just stand by and let her die. “Come on,” he muttered, feeling her pulse and hoping for a positive change. He tilted her head back to ensure her airways stayed open, and elevated her legs slightly to improve blood flow to her vital organs and keep her warm. After more than ten minutes of emergency treatment, Richard finally sighed in relief, his tense shoulders dropping as he wiped the sweat from his brow. Any further delay, and Delilah’s life would have been beyond saving. After confirming that her v

    Samuel managed to stabilize Delilah’s vital signs, spending half an hour gradually bringing her back to consciousness. He checked her pulse again and realized it was no longer weak and now stable. “She should wake up any moment now,” he said with a nod of relief.Suddenly, Delilah sneezed lightly, barely above a whisper. “Oh my God!” Helen, Delilah’s assistant exclaimed as she ran to her side. “My Goddess you’re awake!”Delilah squinted as she slowly took in her bright surroundings, while Helen helped her sit up. When she saw Helen and Samuel, she was surprised, her brows furrowed in confusion. She glanced at Helen and asked with a soft, rasped voice, “What happened?” “Mr Samuel here found you lying on the sofa looking very pale. Your pulse was very weak and.. and your heartbeat was slow. I thought you were going to die,” she replied, sadness evident in her voice. “But he saved you!”Delilah looked away, her brows furrowing as she recalled the dangerous event from earlier. “It

    Janae seemed a bit confused with Richard’s request. It was the first time she had been asked to prove her identity, but she complied regardless. “Uhm.. this is Janae Vester,” she said after hesitating for a moment. Lydia and her mother exchanged another sharp glance, but their hostility remained unchanged. If anything, it seemed to intensify. Lydia’s lips twisted into a sneer. “Is that so?” she scoffed, her voice dripping with mockery. “You really think you can fool us, Richard? Hired an actress to play along with your lies, right?” She laughed dismissively. “Nice try, but we are not buying it.” “As for you,” Lady Wilson began, her eyes blazing with anger. “Whoever you may be, do you not have any dignity?” she asked Janae. “This is Janae Vester,” she mockingly repeated Janae’s exact words. “How dare you conspire with him to deceive us? You must think we are stupid. In fact, you and this useless thing that hired you are the stupid ones.” Her voice trembled with fury, a

    The others were also very worried as the paced back and forth.“I have sent my troops, but no significant progress has been made. He made sure to place hundreds of heavily armed men around the house! Oh my god, I’m going to rip his throat with my bare hands!”Richard ran his fingers through his hair in frustration and worry. He glanced at his watch and he had only about a minute left to speak with Sir Vester. He clenched his jaw.“Don’t panic. I assure you that I’m going to take care of it,” Richard stated. “I have to go now.”He ended the call immediately. Richard took a deep breath to calm his nerves and dialed Dario’s contact straight away. “Boss.”“Dario, I need you to go to Alan Vok’s house immediately with hundreds of men and rescue Ms Janae,” he ordered and hung up immediately. Like nothing was happening, Richard approached the little girl and continued treatment, calm and collected.He inhaled deeply, almost forcing his mind to empty. His fingers trembled for a fraction of a

    Alan laughed. “Aw cute. You’re still so cute. You used to love me so much when you were little,” he tucked her hair gently behind her ear. “But unfortunately, you hate me now.”“Your grandpa and I used to be the best of friends.” He looked up and sighed. “Ohhh, that bastard was my best buddy…” he smiled, returning his gaze to Janae. “But guess what?… he doesn’t like to share. Why?”Janae eyed him with intense disdain. “Uncle Alan… Alan, you’re the most selfish man I’ve ever met in my entire life. You make me feel sick in my guts! You’re evil!”“Despite how much you stabbed my grandpa in the back, he still let you in multiple times… just for you to betray him heavily?”“You don’t deserve to still be breathing,” she spat.He sighed as if he was sad. “Baby Janae wants me dead? Aw that makes me sad, baby. Why not make uncle Alan happy today?”His eyes found her lips and he smiled, seductively biting his lower lips. In the same moment, his hand found his zip. “Don’t you dare!”***Meanw

    “Get the fuck out!” A voice shouted, as he kept hitting the car. Janae shifted to the other side of the car, her heart racing fast in her chest. Before she knew it, the man began to hit the windscreen with a big bat repeatedly.He had tried to open the door but it was locked. Janae’s terror filled eyes glanced around and all she could see were the bodies of her men laying on the floor– some had passed out while some were evidently in excruciating pain.She bit her lower lips tight. “Oh my god,” she whispered and reached for her phone again, to call Richard. Initially, she didn’t want to interrupt the ‘urgent’ matter he went to attend to. But now, she couldn’t bear the situation anymore.Her hands shook as she picked up the phone, only for it to slip through her sweaty fingers. Thud. It hit the car floor and bounced once before sliding beneath the seat. BANG! Janae flinched violently as Bobby slammed the windscreen again, his voice venomous. “Get the fuck out or I’ll drag you out

    Their eyes widened in surprise, as they sized Richard from head to toe again.The man scoffed, stepping closer. “You’re joking, right? Do you know what it took for us to even get an exclusive card? And now, instead of the actual miracle doctor, some boy shows up?” Richard remained calm, his grip tightening slightly on his kit. He had heard this all before, so he wasn’t surprised or upset. It was expected.The lady’s voice cracked as she spoke. “Our Elsie is dying. Dying. And you expect us to just hand her over to you? Her swollen eyes darted to her father. “Dad, maybe we should call again. Maybe the real miracle doctor will pick up this time.” “Even the top doctors we’ve managed to get to check her have not been able to make progress… no, no, you’re too young. You can’t be him.”Richard inhaled deeply, nodding to himself. The same statement everywhere. Top doctors this, top doctors that… he thought. Still, he didn’t let it get to him. Keeping his tone steady, he said, “I under

    “How more ungrateful can you be, dad?” Janae’s brows knitted together, her displeasure very evident in her expression. “This is the same man that saved grandpa… twice! Two goddamn times! And you still hate his guts, for literally no reason.”Janae was upset. But she maintained her composure and didn’t yell while at it. “Oh please,” Collin rolled his eyes, his voice dripping with clear disdain. “He saved grandpa twice, okay? This same man that we don’t know how he got his wealth or barely anything about him.”“Haven’t you ever thought that maybe he got his wealth from being an exceptional doctor?” Collin laughed. “We never heard of him until he appeared out of nowhere. No one even knows him, he’s not one of the known top doctors in Kora. So has he been accumulating this wealth secretly?”Janae rolled her eyes, shaking her head. “I’m not going to have this conversation with you dad.”“I’m neither interested in having this argument with you. My point is that Josh is a good man, and if

    Meanwhile, in the Vester’s mansion days later, the Vesters were all preparing to leave for Betro island for family hunting week. “I think we can leave now. Everyone’s luggage has been packed… except you Janae,” Sir Vester said, turning to her.“Uhm, Joe has taken them to the car already,” she replied. “Though I won’t be leaving with y’all. I’m gonna wait for Richard… we’ll meet y'all there.”Sir Vester glanced at his wristwatch and nodded. “Alright, I’m sure he’ll be here soon. Let’s move then, since everyone is ready–“Just as sir Vester was about to move, Collin burst into the living room. “Guys! Let’s start moving already. Who’s keeping us waiting?”“Everyone is ready, but mom is still upstairs,” Daniel replied. “Let me get her.”Collin kissed his teeth. “Women and wasting time…” He heaved a small sigh of relief. “Well it’s great our family hunting is around the same time as this annoying ass scandal…”“How can everyone be insulting me everywhere because of something I have no clu

    Later in the day, Richard was reading a book and relaxing when his phone buzzed with a text. “Delilah?” Richard’s face twisted slightly, and he opened the message without hesitating. His brows shot upward at the sight of the message. It read, “I have gotten all the herbs on the list. You will report to my villa immediately for the treatment. My men are on their way to pick you up.”“She has gotten all the herbs on the list?” Richard was quite surprised. It had only been about two days and she had managed to quickly get her hands on all the herbs. It sounded like a lie. Especially because no matter how connected and wealthy a person is, it was almost impossible to get every herb on that list in a short period of time.The corners of his lips stretched down and he shrugged. Maybe she actually did manage to get them. It was impressive. He quickly went to get dressed and prepare to leave at once. There was no need to waste time. At last, the day was finally here. As though planned

    Their perfumes mixed in the air around Richard as they all clustered around him. Before they got to him, Richard gently closed his door then turned to them.Some of them reached for his muscular, toned arms while others tried to press against him. ‘Isn’t it too early for all this?’ Richard thought to himself. How did they even find the address to where he lived?? He wondered. “Ladies,” he said, gently pulling away and stepping back to create a little distance between him and them. They didn’t waste time to close the gap again, But Richard stopped them. He smiled politely, “let’s maintain the little space for now,” he said. “What brings… you all here this early in the morning.”“Richard love, I was the first to arrive here. All for you baby,” a young lady with long, pink hair purred, twirling her hair with her finger. “No one cares about that,” another countered. “Hi, Richard, I brought you the finest silk from Almare,” she added, holding up the embroidery fabric to him. “I realiz

    Lydia flinched slightly, but Richard didn’t waver. He was unbothered. “Richard?…” she called, flashing him sad puppy eyes. Ruchard chuckled. “I don’t know what you expected to hear from me, but whatever idea you have about us being together, kindly forget it. I’m sorry.”“Richard, I can’t forget it. By the way, our fathers both made a promise to each other to marry us together. And I know before I didn’t want it, but I’m ready now…”“I want you now. I do.”Richard almost laughed. His face twisted but he relaxed it and looked at her. “Are you joking?” he asked calmly and continued. “Your dad doesn’t even want to set his eyes on me, and you’re here talking about an engagement with you?”“See,” She quickly cut Richard, shifting forward in her chair. “You don’t have to worry about my dad. I can handle him. I just need you to accept me too.”“I want you to want me tooo, Richard. I love you…”Richard laughed. He paused and looked at her before laughing again. Is this some sort of a prank
