"Crazy...," said a man with bulging eyes as he sat in front of Shawn. Shawn calmly drank the cappuccino latte he had ordered earlier.This afternoon, Shawn had a meeting with Jerome, a good friend of his. They used to work at the same restaurant, right before Shawn became a taxi driver. Shawn used to share a lot of stories with this person, so they became close friends. You could say that they shared almost all of their problems.Shawn's meeting with Jerome was the first time after three months of not contacting each other. To Jerome's surprise this time, Shawn took him to Cafe Mooondset, an expensive cafe in the city. As far as Jerome knew, Shawn usually only took him to small food stalls with cheap prices.Jerome said, "Shawn, after being out of touch for a few days, you show up like this. Is it because of your mom and dad again?"Shawn replied, "Yes. Even Ryan got involved again."Jerome frowned, he tilted his head with an annoyed look. "As I suspected, they are very unnatural, Sha
Shawn saw Jerome's father lying comatose on a bed with an IV and several breathing machines. Jerome's father was like this because of the accident he had been involved in.Jerome looked worried as he stood up to see his father who was unconscious. "This is how my father is now, Shawn. I'm doing everything I can to help him recover quickly."Shawn nodded. He understood that it must be hard for Jerome to do so. The cost of hospitalization was not cheap for a low-wage worker like Jerome, let alone the condition of Jerome's father who needed oxygen.Shawn said, "You did well, Jerome. Your father can survive until now thanks to your efforts. Your efforts were not in vain."Jerome smiled bitterly at that. Even though he knew that Shawn said that to comfort him, Jerome still appreciated it. "Thank you, Shawn. However, my father's condition has not improved, Shawn. The doctor told us to operate on him, but the operation costs a lot of money."Shawn immediately asked, "How much will the surger
Shawn frowned and glared at Hector. Then Shawn said, "If the person who performed the surgery on Jeremiah was someone like you, the result would not have been safe. Jeremiah is my friend's father, I can't let a drunk perform surgery on him. Bring me a more useful doctor!"Hector clucked his mouth. "We are doctors, we have an oath to save people's lives. Do you think we can't do the surgery? Cut the crap and wait quietly. Everything will be fine, I've done this kind of surgery many times and all the patients I've treated have always recovered. You don't need to worry."Hektor made a hand gesture to tell Shawn and Jerome to get out of the place. He even casually turned his back on them.Shawn felt that these doctors were different from what Hector had said earlier. They seemed to underestimate the safety of Jeremiah Hopple. Then Shawn said, "Do you think you can get away with saying that? Anyone would doubt the ability of a person who drinks alcohol. Drunk people don't always have good
"What did you say?" Jerome wrinkled his forehead, confused by Hector's sudden outburst.Hector himself continued to hold his face as if he had actually been hit by Jerome. "Ah! This guy is crazy, why did you hit the doctor at the hospital?"Hector's scream made the people in the crowd look at them and start to get furious with Jerome. Their gazes were angry because they were consumed by Hector's words.They whispered to each other, "Is there a fight here?""Yes, did you see that the doctor fell down several times? That guy must be fighting with the doctor.""That's terrible. Do those people have no ethics? They're making a scene in the hospital. There are many people who need peace here. How could he beat up a doctor!"Jerome opened his eyes wide in confusion as he was already trapped in this situation. It turned out that this was Hector's subterfuge.Jerome said, "I didn't touch you at all, Doctor! I have no reason whatsoever to do such a thing."Hector retorted, "So this is how you
Shawn stared with a slight squint at the manager. Because what he said was not something Shawn could fully believe, especially since he had a chance to defend the drunk doctor.Shawn asked, "If you start deceiving me again, I--""No, sir. I'll make sure of that," the hotel manager said before Shawn could finish his sentence.Hector, Gilda, and Clark were surprised to hear that. They didn't know why the hotel manager didn't defend Hector. They looked at each other and frowned.Shawn didn't expect this to end so soon. He had intended to call Rachel and ask for a recommendation for a lawyer to resolve this matter. However, it didn't seem necessary anymore.Shawn grinned, pleased with the hotel manager's agreement. Then Shawn said, "Okay. I like it. I'll accept that if you do well. Because this is no joke to me."The manager sensed that this Shawn was different. He had such a pressing aura about him that the hospital manager felt challenging Shawn was a big mistake.However, Hector didn't
"I've already lowered myself before you even though I'm an important person here, but you've crossed the line. Are you looking for trouble on purpose, huh?" growled Hector with bulging eyes.It's said that alcohol exposes a person's true nature. In this case Hector was displaying his high ego. He didn't want to be judged by a snot-nosed kid like Shawn.However, Shawn responded with a calm look. Shawn said, "Oh, okay. So you don't want to apologize and you don't want to get punished. Then I'm going to sue you guys and make headlines about it all over social media. I'm sure you guys will get into a lot of trouble because of that."Doctor Hector then replied, "Social media? Don't make me laugh. Who the hell are you? Are you a social media influencer? I've never even seen your work anywhere. You're not bluffing, young man. Stop giving me bullshit!"Shawn glanced at Hector and gave a calm, but dangerous-looking smile. "That's not a problem for me. Because in the end, it's you and this hos
"I can't get rid of this dizziness," Shawn said as he held his head. Out of nowhere, Shawn felt a huge pressure on his head from earlier and it was bothering him. Shawn repeatedly slapped his palm against the side of his head, but the dizziness didn't get any better.His head was twitching slightly and each twitch caused a dizziness. Shawn thought to himself, "Am I too tired?"In reality, Shawn had had a hectic few days that had deprived him of rest. In addition to his job as a manager at Gold K, Shawn had also dealt with people who gave him trouble several times. And finally there was accompanying Jerome when his father was having surgery. Shawn felt that even the super body he got after drinking the Reborn potion had its limits. Shawn needed to rest. At least today, Shawn was able to complete his mission to save Jerome's father.Speaking of Jerome, Shawn recalled the incident half an hour ago, right before he felt this dizziness. It was when Jerome's father finished the surgery and
"Look at this, Shawn is shouting furiously. Don't we rarely see scenes like this?" said a man with a large body. He said that while chuckling along with his three friends at the back.Shawn opened his eyes wide when he saw the four figures. He recognized them very well, because these four people went to the same school as Shawn seven years ago.Their names are Trant, Jean, Max, and their leader, Cole. In the past they were the ones who had the most influence in the school as they were the ones who were the thugs there.Cole grinned happily after kicking in the car door and approached Shawn while looking him in the eye lightly. "I didn't expect to see this cockroach here again. You're not doing so well, are you, Shawn?"Cole, the big blond man, was the school's rugby athlete, so his power was so great, no one dared to make trouble with him. It was rumored that he once sent someone who got into a fight with him to the hospital because Cole broke two of his ribs as well as his leg bones
