2025-02-14 00:59:06Benjamin didn't hesitate. He immediately stepped in, checking the girl’s pulse.
His expression darkened as he realized the toxins were spreading fast.
If nothing was done, she wouldn’t survive.
"The toxins are moving too quickly. We need to do a bloodletting and transfusion right now to detoxify her." He said urgently.
"Are you insane? That would kill her!" Antonio scoffed.
Benjamin shot him a hard look.
"What’s killing her right now is doing nothing! The toxins are killing her. We have no time!"
“Who will donate the blood?”Eileen asked with panic, “We’ve already tested, and there’s no match.”
“You.” Benjamin turned to her.
" Excuse me? Are you out of your mind? Everyone knows that an immediate relative can't be a direct donor!" Eileen yelled out.
"There is a way around that. Just trust me." Benjamin urged.
" This is madness, Mrs. Eileen. I have been practicing for years. This method defies all medical logic! If you go through with this, it could kill her. Her body might reject it! " Antonio cut in.
" She’s already dying. It’s now or never, Mrs. Eileen."
Benjamin retorted, staring at Eileen intensely.
Eileen stared back and forth between the two doctors.
Her hands gripped her thumb. Panic and hope warred inside her.
Finally, she took a shaky breath.
"Fine, let's do it. Just whatever saves her." Her voice cracked.
Without wasting another moment, Benjamin sprang into action.
His hands moved with surgical precision as he started the bloodletting procedure, using acupressure to guide the toxins out of the girl’s body.
Eileen was directed to the lab for a blood donation. The sample came back fast.
Benjamin worked like a machine, fractionating the blood with a Gamma Irradiation procedure to separate the properties.
Make sure things in Eileen's blood couldn’t be fatal to her daughter.
Minutes later, the little girl's body stabilized.
The color slowly returned to her skin. The pale blue was back to the pink.
The doctors and bystanders could only stare, wide-eyed.
How possible is this? This young man has such an extraordinary skill!
Eileen collapsed into tears of earlier overwhelm. Her disbelief finally turned into relief now.
“Thank you. You’re incredible, Mr. Benjamin. Who would’ve thought…?” she whispered, unable to stop weeping. “You saved her life!”
The doctors in the room slowly snapped out of their shock, murmuring their congratulations.
One of them spoke up, his voice still filled with awe.
“All the doctors here are world-class, experienced in treating the most difficult cases.”
“We use high-tech medicine and natural remedies, but we’ve never seen anything like this!”
“You’re truly amazing, Mr. Benjamin. Could you teach us about this breakthrough?”
Before Benjamin could answer, Antonio spoke with a smug grin.
“Well, it wasn’t all him. I warned everyone about the risks, but my expertise helped guide him through it.”
Amanda’s eyes narrowed.
“What nonsense are you spouting now, Antonio? You want to take credit for something you had no hand in? Are you fucking serious?”
Antonio stammered, clearly caught off guard.
“I, uh, I was the one who convinced Mrs. Eileen to try this method. It was my idea that the germa irradiation—”
“Gamma irradiation,” Benjamin corrected him.
“Yes, that’s it. It’s cutting-edge, barely tested… That’s why we were all so unsure…”
Antonio trailed off, but Eileen wasn’t having it.
"Unsure? You were more concerned with your ego than saving my daughter! You almost killed her with your incompetence!”
“You’re fired!” She shouted with fury.
Antonio's face turned pale.
“What? But I’ve been your family’s doctor for years!” he protested.
“Exactly, and now I’m done with you,” Eileen snapped. “If you’re satisfied with it, I can make sure you never practice medicine in this city.”
“No..I..”
Antonio stammered but quickly shut his mouth, realizing he wasn’t going to win this argument.
Eileen’s family had the power to end his career.
Eileen turned her attention back to Benjamin. Her tone softened.
“Mr. Benjamin. Please, take this as a token of my appreciation.” She handed him a sleek black card.
"This is my family's exclusive black card. Take this as an expression of thanks from myself and my family."
She smiled, adding, “It has $100 million on it, and you can use it however you like. But more importantly, it gives you access to exclusive clubs and private planes.”
Benjamin glanced at the card but shook his head.
"I won't take the money."
“I’ll stick to the deal I made with Amanda. I heard you would offer Moonbloom as the reward.”

Eileen insisted handing the black card to Benjamin."You should take it. Don't worry, it is merely a “tip.” She insisted.Benjamin still shook his head."I’d rather not, Mrs.Eileen."Amanda interjected from the side."I know you have more important concerns than money. And that is why she insisted. This isn’t just cash, Benjamin.

He couldn’t keep his distance, quickly followed her out."Emily! Emily!" His voice cut through the camera flashes."You look gorgeous! Amazing! Simply amazing." He said, practically gushing."Thank you, Marcus," Emily replied blandly." I'm so glad we’ll finally have a chance to be together," He said, making clear his intentions on courting her.But Emily wasn’t having it."This is a business fundraiser, Marcus. Let's keep it professional, okay? And remember your boundaries." She said curtly.He ignored her cold demeanor and continued with his chatter."Well, you can't blame me. I’m feeling lucky that you and that loser is now separated." He said. His words dripped with obvious disdain.Emily didn’t engage. She simply smiled for the cameras, greeting the business people around her.From a distance, Benjamin wi

Emily stared at Benjamin, her eyes burning with fury."So, it was that easy for you to replace me, wasn’t it?" she asked, her voice trembling as she tried to mask the hurt but failed.Benjamin narrowed his eyes, confused by her accusation.Emily continued, her emotions spilling over with every word."Come to think of it, all these years, you pretended to be the perfect gentleman! And here I was, feeling guilty about breaking up with you so suddenly, when all this time, I was the one being played!"Benjamin’s anger flared."You’re one to talk, Emily," he muttered through gritted teeth."You had no problem finding someone else the moment you rejected my proposal and ended things.“”You’d already moved on before I even proposed, yet you’re accusing me of being dishonest? How ironic."Emily’s words caught in her throat.Benjamin wasn’t wrong, but he wasn’t entirely right either.It might have seemed like she’d moved on, but the truth was, she hadn’t accepted Marcus’s proposal or advances.

"Is it true the nursing home is on the verge of being demolished?""Yes. As a matter of fact, there have been lots of mouth watering offers over the past few months. The best of them is from Valencio Rodriguez.""Who is he?" Benjamin asked." A billionaire godfather in the city. A dangerous businessman nobody wants to mess with. He wants to buy the

Suddenly, the host of the auction event walked onto the stage. He was an average-height man, white-skinned with greying hair."Good evening ladies and gentlemen. It is time to begin the event of the evening." He announced."According to the rules of the event, the highest donator will get the priority of acquiring the retirement home property, which includes the entire land segment owned by the retirement home." He added."That sounds great. Although, it seems you have a lot of competition." Marcus Roberts said to Emily."Yeah, they all seem pretty determined, or else they wouldn't be here." She replied plainly."How much did you intend donating?" He asked her.Emily heaved a sigh, keeping her eyes on the host."Enough to leave a huge gap between myself and the other competitors. In fact I am willing to donate more just to make sure I acquire that land back for the nursing home." She replied with determination.Upon entering the hall, Amanda and Benjamin scouted the room for available

"That's enough. Let him have this round. The payment has already been made." Benjamin muttered.His show of confidence surprised Amanda greatly. How had he managed to remain calm all that while? Watching Emily and Marcus humiliate him?She wondered, all of it just made her respect and love for him grow even more."I apologize for any misconception, Mr. Benjamin." The host announced."Whatever problems or doubts anyone has about the payments made in Mr. Benjamin's name, can be taken up with the appropriate financial institution.

"What?" Marcus asked, his tone laced with surprise."What do you mean he rejected the proposal? What didn’t he like about it?" Emily pressed."In his own words, everything. He called it garbage—the worst proposal he’s ever read, and trust me, he’s read some terrible ones," the secretary replied dismissively.Just then, the elevator doors opened, and a group of men and women stepped out, taking seats in the waiting area."But I personally oversaw my secretary drafting that proposal! I proofread it thoroughly afterward. It’s flawless!" Marcus argued, frustration evident in his voice."This is a solid business plan. It’s for the orphanage, and it would benefit your investment company as well," Emily added, trying to reason with the secretary."I’m not the boss, Miss Walsh. He’s made his decision," the secretary replied curtly.Marcus’s anger flared. "How dare he tarnish the Roberts family name? He should respect our reputation!" he shouted, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

"He did that? How dare he! Why would Benjamin touch my brother?" Emily freaked out. She picked up her phone and dialed his number but he refused to pick up.The phone rang severally but there was no answer."He isn't picking up. I apologize for this, mother and I assure you that I will get to the bottom of this." Emily muttered and stormed up the company stairs.Disconcerted and upset about Benjamin's actions, she walked into her office and tried calling him again via her office phone, but there was still no response.Shortly, her personal phone rang out, and she picked it up hoping it was Benjamin, but it turned out to be Marcus Roberts."Emily darling, where are you? We were supposed to meet in front of Mr. Dean Wilde's company building." He said to her."I'll be right there." She replied.Hurriedly, she picked up a few documents and rushed out of the office. Emily met Marcus in front of the Sky Line Company building."What took you so long? We almost missed him." Marcus complained.

She ended up nodding in agreement.As she glanced around the hospital, the elevator ahead of them opened, and a tall, handsome middle-aged man with white hair stepped out."Good morning, Sir.""Good morning, Doctor Greg," some of the junior nurses and doctors greeted him.He was the managing director of Clear View Hospital, the largest hospital in New York City, where they currently were."Hello, Mr. Moore," the director acknowledged Benjamin warmly.He was quite familiar with Benjamin but also aware that Benjamin preferred to keep his identity private.After all, Benjamin was one of the hospital's major partners, and the director held him in high regard."Hello, Doctor Greg. I truly appreciate your help and support in caring for my mother," Benjamin said to him.Doctor Greg shook his hand professionally and nodded politely."It’s no trouble, Mr. Moore. Here at Clear View Hospital, we do our best to provide the utmost care. After all, we are the best in the city," he replied."Shall w

Matthew pulled out another knife again and spun it in his hand. "It seems you do not like how calm and reasonable I have been. We will have to resolve this using force!"He launched himself at Benjamin with the knives in his hand. But Benjamin smoothly sidestepped his attack, which left Matthew to stumble down the sidewalk.Upset that Benjamin had embarrassed him like that, he launched at him again from behind. However, Benjamin caught his arm and twisted his arm until one of the knives fell out of it."You bastard! Let me go!" Matthew yelled out angrily, struggling under Benjamin's strong grip. He successfully pulls out of it and tries to attack him again, Benjamin grabbed Matthew's arm and began slapping him across his face, before delivering a powerful kick to his abdomen, which sent Matthew spiraling across the coal tar."Oh my goodness!"

"What about Marcus? Didn't he offer to help?" Celine asked, but before Emily could reply, her phone began to ring.Emily placed the phone to her ear and a familiar masculine voice came over the speaker. It was her Finance officer."Miss Emily, how are you doing today?" He asked her."Not so good. My projects haven't gotten off the ground yet. Tell me, did you find anything?" She asked him."I have good news for you. A benefactor called this morning and insisted on buying the majority shares you placed on sales for your father's company. He seems like a wealthy man and might also be able to help you get your projects off the ground.""What? Really!" Emily screamed out excitedly."Yes." Her finance manager replied."When does he intend to make the payments?" She asked him."Well, he said he would discuss that personally with you when you both meet to finalize the assets procurement." The manager replied."That sounds great! I think we can work with that." She replied happily. She put th

"I'm sorry, Stella. We have to return the money we got from the receiver during the home's auction land that has already been bought." Emily said over her office phone the next morning."The residents only did that because they thought that with their donation and mine, we could pull up a reasonable amount of money to acquire the land, but..."The door to Emily's office opened and shut alarmingly, and Reuben rushed into it with his phone in hand.Emily looked up from the call, surprised by his barging in. "Let me call you back, Stella." She put down the phone."Marcus! Is there a problem?" She asked, frowning at him."Far from it. I finally figured out how that son of a bitch got to donate." He replied ecstatically.Emily bit her bottom lip and twisted her ball pen, a bit agitated by the thought of Benjamin's issues again."Okay? What did you find then?" She asked him."I just got a call from a very reputable source. He told me that this guy was the one who paid for the land." He hand

She turned to him, eager to take his mind off Emily."So, what are your plans for the land now? I mean, you are the new owner of the land." She asked, in a teasing tone.But Benjamin's expression remained serious."I don't have any plans for it. The only reason I acquired that land is to return it to the retirement home." He murmured in a thick tone."Really? But, that was such a huge amount of money. A lot of investors would be competing to sponsor you right now for whatever project you come up with." She replied, confused."I thought that was what you wanted to do. I thought you were interested in giving it back to the nursing home, the same as Emily." He inquired.Amanda frowned at him. "Please do not compare me to your delusional, money-hungry ex-girlfriend." She replied sassily."Don't do that. Don't sass Emily, okay? I don't appreciate that." He replied calmly yet firmly.Amanda rolled her eyes and turned her gaze away from him. Benjamin noticed that she was upset about it and d
