"Sir, here," Eric said, giving the taxi driver a hundred-dollar bill."But sir, I don't have change." The Middle-aged taxi driver smiled bitterly."Don't worry about it." Eric waved his hands and turned around looking at the huge Villa in front of him.This was the location he had seen when he had tracked Evelyn's phone. Though the tracking was quite a bit of work and he wouldn't want to do it if it was not necessary, he still had to do it.Eric looked at the Villa and couldn't help but smile bitterly, how was he going to see Evelyn? She was not picking up his phone, so how was he going to do it?Well... it didn't matter, all he wanted was to see Evelyn, as long as she was there, he was sure that he was going to see her."Ouch!"A painful yelp came just when he was about to walk into the Villa as he collided with a figure."Young man, watch where you are going." A hoarse voice stopped Eric who was about to continue on his way."Watch where I'm going?" Eric sneered, turning around to l
"Huh?"Evelyn froze hearing the familiar voice, for a moment, she felt an electric shock pass through her body, next her heart began to thump heavily like it was going to burst out through her chest.For a moment, she couldn't understand what was happening. Ever since she heard that Eric was attacked she watched the video of him jumping off the bridge into the river with Chloe.She had felt a strange sadness and unwillingness to do anything. Then some days ago, the condition of her grandfather worsened and she had no other choice but to stay back at home.She had invited many doctors, but then none of them had been able to treat him, his condition had only worsened which made her mood even worse. And then with Eric whom she thought was dead, she felt very depressed."Dear wifey, is anything wrong, why are you standing there? Aren't you going to come and hug your hubby?" Eric's voice came bringing Evelyn out of her thoughts.Much to Eric's shock, Evelyn walked slowly towards him and th
"Alright then since you've decided to be respectful, let me tell you what's wrong with my grandfather-in-law," Eric said with a smirk before walking towards the old man lying on the bedEvelyn's expression changed upon hearing the way Eric addressed her grandfather. Why the heck did he have so much of a gut?Aiden on the other hand was dumbstruck, what the heck was Eric saying? Did he think Evelyn's grandfather was going to accept him just because he had some trashy medical skills?He was just a small medical doctor who was destined never to rise but remain in a spot. He was never going to be a successful man like him. Besides, he believed he would be able to take care of Evelyn better than anyone."What the heck do you think you're saying? You'd better stop spouting nonsense and do what you have to do, or else if anything happens to him, you'll be facing the consequences." Aiden said, believing Evelyn was going to support him."Is he your grandfather?" Eric turned around and asked s
"My technique is not something ordinary that people like you learn, but if you watch closely, then you might be lucky to grab something from it." Eric laughed, removing the quilt used to cover the old man exposing his bare chest.Because of how long the old man had been unconscious, Evelyn had removed all the clothes on his body leaving him with only a short. The quilt was used to cover him, none of the doctors who ever treated the old man requested to remove it.Eric was the first person to do so and he didn't even ask for permission before he did so and just pulled it up."In cases like this, modern medicine is useless because there's no way to remove something that has already been mixed with the bloodstream." Eric suddenly said, breaking the weird silence in the room."So you're planning to use traditional medicine on him?!" The doctor muttered in shock not believing someone as young as Eric would know anything about traditional medicine."Yeah, something like that." Eric shrugged
"Evelyn, tell one of your workers to go get me a set of silver needles," Eric said, ignoring Evelyn's questions."Don't worry sir, I have a set with me." The doctor replied feeling rather happy, knowing well he would be able to see Eric's acupuncture skills.He had the habit of carrying needles around as he had been learning acupuncture. He had never expected that it was going to be of good use."Good, bring it." Eric nodded approvingly, stretching his hands forward."Yes sir." The doctor immediately rushed towards his things and soon retrieved a box of silver needles and gave it to Eric."Thanks!" Eric muttered, collecting the box of needles from the doctor.Taking out the needles, he started to insert them into the old man's body one after the other.Though he was rather slow, his movements were smooth, making the doctor marvel in shock not believing his eyes.Just like the last time, Eric's movements became fast once again, soon, the body of the old man was covered with needles."P
Ring! Ring!Eric's phone rang just as he walked out of the Villa. Looking at the caller's ID, he saw it was an unsaved number.Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown, after a minute of hesitation, he answered the call."Brother, you've forgotten all about your little sister since you moved to the city." A couthiesh voice came from the other end of the phone."Emily, how have you been?" Eric smiled bitterly recognizing the other party immediately he heard the voice.It was a voice he was never going to forget in his life. That was his younger sister back at the orphanage home.Though he was just a year older than her, right from when they were young, he would always act as the elder brother protecting her from the other kids, as a result, they formed a kind of bond similar to that of blood siblings.Even their mother at the Orphanage was kind of surprised by how close Eric and Emily were and how well they bonded.But since Eric graduated from college and moved to the town to find a jo
"Brother!"Emily yelled excitedly as she rushed towards Eric who had just alighted from the taxi pulling him into a tight hug."Brother, you've become a lot skinnier since the last time I saw you. Tell me the truth, you don't eat right?" Emily asked, raising her head to look at Eric."Is that the first thing you're supposed to say to your brother?" Eric smiled, returning the hug."Mmm." Emily suddenly muttered as she felt Eric's stomach through his shirt."Now I see why my brother has gotten a lot skinnier." She chuckled while continuing to touch Eric's stomach."What are you doing Emily?" Eric quickly removed her hands from his stomach."Why are you like this brother? Let me feel your abs, I didn't know you had. All you had in the past was just a flat stomach." Emily laughed, disengaging from the hug."You go to the gym too often that's why you've gotten Skinner and also this and. I'll tell Mother that you're starving yourself." She continued.Eric's mouth twitched violently hearing
"So brother, where are we heading to?" Emily adked excitedly, pulling Eric's arm."Where do you want us to go?" Eric sighed feeling rather helpless with Emily. She had always been like that since they were young, always clingy.She wouldn't want him to go anywhere without her, now that she had finished college and had come to Orange City she was going to terrorize his life.His life of flirting with girls would likely come to an end cause he was sure that she wouldn't let him rest if she knew about it.Besides, from the looks of everything, it seems as though Chloe had taken a liking to Emily which meant her chances of getting a job at the company were high.Eric sighed in desperation not knowing what to do. Emily was still tugging at his arm listing restaurants she wanted to visit.Though she was listing restaurants, none of them were high-end ones, they were all within the range that Eric could afford making him smile feeling rather warm in his heart.Even though this younger sister
