Chapter 539: Lord Sterling Vance
It didn't take very long when a chopperr actually landed on the helicopter place on top of the city hospital building. It has been almost a year and has never been used but today it was. Immediately the helicopter landed the door opened and instantly a middle aged man dressed in a suit with gray hair got down. He was Lord Sterling Vance, the actual owner of the city hospital, and he had a bodyguard with him, his face was full of sweat and panic. He did not care about his appearance at all, he just rushed toward the rooftop elevator quickly. Inside the room, Dr. Alaric looked at Elijah, he looked down at the time on his watch, "it's been past 20 minutes after your call, we are still not hearing anything from you," he said, his voice full of pride, "young man, I'm going to give you the opportunity to kneel and apologize to me right now, and then I might spare you, if not, if I should put up a call, then trust me, you are going to be pitiful.” Elijah looked up at him, his expression d
Chapter 538: Dr. Alaric Thorne II
Dr. Alaric Thorne Viremont stared at the young man sitting across from him. In his decades of running one of the premier medical institutions in the city, he had dealt with wealthy board members, volatile politicians, and aggressive union representatives.Yet, the man sitting in front of him didn't look like any of them. He was dressed simply, carrying himself with a quiet, almost ordinary demeanor. But there was an unsettling stillness in Elijah’s eyes, a total lack of fear that immediately put the director on guard.Dr. Viremont let out a short, dismissive breath and leaned back in his leather chair."Dr. Morgan?" Viremont repeated, his voice taking on a cold, institutional edge. "Young man, I don’t know who you are—a relative, a friend, or an attorney but hospital disciplinary actions are handled through proper administrative channels. Dr. Morgan’s reassignment was vetted by a senior review board. It is an internal matter. If that is all you came here to discuss, I must ask you to
Chapter 537: Recap II
Elijah drove out of the construction site and merged into one of the busier roads in the city, traffic moving steadily in both directions. His mind was still juggling the mall project, the Valencia meeting, and Phantom’s update when something ahead caught his attention. At first, he thought he was mistaken. Then he looked again. Walking along the sidewalk near a bus stop was a familiar figure, calm and composed despite the rush around her. Celeste Morgan. He slowed the car instinctively. She was the doctor from the city hospital, the same woman who had taken care of Sierra the first time she was nearly assaulted, the one who had handled everything with quiet professionalism and dignity. The second time he had met her was that night, when he had given her a lift unexpectedly after spotting her stranded on the roadside. That encounter had been brief but memorable. And now here she was again. She was dressed simply, in a light beige blouse tucked neatly into a knee-leng

She looked up at him, surprised by the option. “I won’t force you into anything,” he added, his tone steady. “If you’re uncomfortable, wait here.” Celeste hesitated for a second, then stepped fully out of the car and closed the door behind her. “If you’re going in,” she said quietly, “I’m not staying behind.” They stepped into the hospital lobby, the cool air and familiar scent of antiseptic surrounding them. Nurses moved past with files in hand, a few patients sat in the waiting area, and the reception desk was busy as usual. Elijah slowed his steps slightly and turned to Celeste. “Lead me to the head,” he said calmly. “Or whoever holds the highest position here.” She blinked. “Elijah…” she began, uncertainty clear in her voice. “I’m not here to create a scene,” he added quietly, his expression firm but controlled. “Just take me to the top.” Celeste hesitated. Her eyes flickered briefly toward the corridors ahead, her mind running through the hospital hierarchy — senior cons

Elijah’s fingers tightened slightly on the steering wheel, but he didn’t interrupt.“He made it clear that if I wanted smoother progress in the department, I should be… closer to him,” she continued, her voice controlled but firm. “A personal arrangement.”Elijah understood immediately.“And you refused,” he said.She nodded once. “I refused.”There was no drama in her tone, just quiet resolve.“He didn’t argue openly,” she added. “He just waited. Then suddenly there were ‘performance concerns,’ protocol violations, committee reviews. It was subtle, but effective.”Elijah was stunned for a moment.Celeste was intelligent, professional, and undeniably beautiful. It unfortunately made sense that someone in power might attempt something like that, but that didn’t make it acceptable.“And no one questioned it?” he asked.She gave a faint, tired smile. “Hospitals protect senior consultants. Assistants are replaceable.”The car remained silent for a few seconds after that.Elijah’s expressi
