The person who had saved the Millers and coerced the Layrens to give a public apology was Henry? The trash that they’d scoffed at and despised? H–how was this possible! “Y–you’ve got to be joking, right, Mr. Jimmy? Are you telling us that Henry was the one who saved us?” Mrs Millers asked with widened eyes, she found this fact difficult to accept. “Who else do you think it was?” Mr. Jimmy asked seriously. “No, that’s impossible! Wasn’t Micheal the one who helped us? How was it that trash Henry instead?” Solomon shouted in alarm and shook his head so vigorously it looked like a rattling drum. “Micheal Clark? He’s nothing more than a washed–up member of some family, so how capable can the man be? Obviously, not enough for the Layrens to lower their heads.” Mr. Jimmy scoffed before shooting Micheal with a look of disdain. Hearing that, every head in the crowd turned to look at Micheal simultaneously. For a moment, Micheal’s cheeks turned bright red, and the atmosphere became extrem
“Honey, even if we’ve misunderstood Henry, so what? The Matter still stands that he’s the one who’s at fault here. He was just making up for his mistakes. We don’t owe him anything!” Mrs Millers continued. “I’m tired, Mom. I just want to rest now. Please go outside,” Emily requested again. “But honey…” Mrs Millers whined. “Just leave me alone!” Emily yelled sternly. Seeing the scowl on her face, Mrs Millers said nothing more and proceeded to usher everyone out of the room. “Who would’ve thought that the biggest contributor to the Matter would be Henry, while the person who surprised us the most was Mr. Clark.” "Fucking bigshots! To think we let him scare us like that. It’s already a good thing that we didn’t disturb him for anything!”“And as for Micheal. I suspect that he’s so blinded by love for Emily that, to win her over, he resorted to trickery and lies,” Mrs Millers explained. “If you ask me, a man like this who risked his life for love and even put his reputation on the
Back at the small Medical Center where Henry normally practices his skills, he downed glass after glass of wine without stopping trying to numb himself with alcohol. Although he was expressionless inwardly he couldn’t help feeling frustrated. Maybe he should finally let go of his past relationship and move on. “Doctor! Doctor!” Just as Henry felt a little tipsy a hurried knock was heard at the door. When he opened the doors two beautiful young women were standing outside. One of them was dressed completely in white and looked like an angel from heaven. The aura she gave off was pure and innocent.The other woman was fully dressed in a black bodysuit that showed off her curves. She had prominent features that made her appear tough and masculine. However she was bleeding profusely from the injury on her abdomen. Her face was drawn and pale from excessive blood loss. “Excuse me is the doctor in? My friend is severely injured and needs immediate treatment!” The woman in white said
“This man saved you. He is a skilled doctor. With just a few stitches your wounds had stopped bleeding!” Sophia gushed. “No one asked for his help!” Taking a look at her bandages Ava muttered under her breath. “Ava! He saved you out of kindness. How could you be so rude?” Sophia said, annoyed. “Sophia, you're too naive. There is no knowing what is in a man’s heart. Many things are not what they seem. Who knows maybe he saved me with an ulterior motive!” Ava said cynically. “You’re mistaken. I believe he is a good person!” Sophia was obstinate. “Miss your words are like music to my ears. Unlike some who have no sense of gratitude.” Henry said sarcastically. Ava opened her mouth to retort before she was interrupted by the ruckus outside. Loud stomping and gruff voices could be heard on the other side of the door. “Boss, their tracks end right here. They must be hiding inside!” “I’ll teach them to run from me! Boys! Surround the medical center. Make sure that even a bug can’t es
What nonsense was this man spouting? She just told him that Lucas was a heartless murderer. How could this man be so persistent about getting compensated? Was it worth it to lose his life over mere pennies? After catching his breath Lucas wheezed. “Punk you have some guts! It’s been a long time since I last saw a reckless fellow like you!” “Shut up and pay up already!” Henry demanded impatiently. His mood was already ruined. These men needed to be taught a lesson for creating a mess on his property. “You really have a death wish! Boys break his limbs! Let’s see whether he dares to talk back after this!” Lucas smirked and gestured to his men.“Yes boss!” Without a second thought the assassins swung their weapons at Henry with the intent to harm him. “Hey! You said you would let him go!” Sophia shrieked. “Miss Patel, I did agree to not kill him. However he seems to be dissatisfied with us. It would be rude to not teach him a lesson!” Lucas had a cunning smile on his face. Sudd
Evening at Halig Haven. Sophia was eating her dinner while telling her parents everything that had happened. “Dad Mom, I'm telling you that man was so amazing. Just two flicks of his wrist and all the bad guys were killed!” Sophia described the situation eagerly. She even acted out a scene for her parents. “Really? I never thought that a small place like East city would have such a talented young man. I would like to meet him one day.” Her mother Diana Lee smiled affectionately at her daughter. Her father Martin Patel banged on the table. “Hmph! How dare you disobey me! Haven’t I warned you? Do not go out and explore without permission! You were lucky that nothing terrible had happened. If you weren’t you could have died today!” “Dad, it's just an accident. Those bad people were too sneaky. They poisoned and attacked us when we weren’t prepared and that’s why Ava fell into their trap. Otherwise no one could have hurt me!” Sophia pouted. “In the martial arts world winning is ev
“I just told you that the Auric root would not be able to cure Sophia of her disease. However I am able to do just that” Henry promised. “Can you cure her? And why should I trust you?” Henry was starting to get on Martin’s nerves. This rascal did not know his place. Did he think he could do as he pleased just because he had saved his daughter once?“Has your daughter been suffering from chills ever since she was young and does she get a terrible bout of viral infection every month or so?” “So what if she does?” Martin raised his brows. “That’s because Sophia has GlacierMortis. Over the years a deadly venom has formed within her body and the venom can only be temporarily suppressed by medication. However, that will not eradicate the disease from within her. To do so we will need to take a different approach by improving her circulation and thus raising her metabolism” Henry expounded. “Hah! Utter rubbish! GlacierMortis? That sounds downright ridiculous and I’ve never even heard of
When they heard that it was the Patels they were helping out they figured that the opportunity for their big break had come. Everyone knew the Patels‘ status. If they could cure Shelia of whatever disease she had they would not only make a name for themselves but they would also make acquaintances with the Patels.By then not only would they have gained fame and earned favor from the Patels but they would even walk away with a huge sum of money. Of course they were going to go for it! However when they eagerly went in to check on Sophia’s condition one by one their brows furrowed and a troubled look took over their faces. They realized that whatever Sophia was suffering from was indeed strange. She was icy cold all over with cold air coming off her. It was beyond anything they’d ever seen or heard. For a brief moment nobody dared to take any action. “Doctors there are so many of you here please don’t tell me that there’s nothing any of you can do?” Martin grimaced at them. “Wel
