Jessica faces an heartbreaking decision as her grandfather, Joseph, has been declared dead by the esteemed Master Christopher and the doctors present.
Liam, Jessica’s newly hired assistant and arranged fiancé, boldly claims that he can save Joseph, despite the disbelief and mockery from everyone, including Jessica’s assistant Cynthia and Gabriel, a man asking for Jessica’s hand in marriage.
Jessica is torn between hope and doubt.
Jessica's gaze locked onto Liam’s determined expression.
Despite the insults and doubt from Cynthia, Gabriel and Christopher, Jessica decided to let him try.
“He has been announced dead already, what more harm can be done.” She thinks to herself.
"Let him try," Jessica said, her voice barely above a whisper.
“What???” Cynthia exclaimed.
“Miss Matthew, consider the expert, we can't …..” Jessica raised a hand silencing her secretary.
She walked up to him.
“Are you sure you can bring him back?” Jessica asked Liam again.
“The dragon needle are tested and proven.” Liam responded.
I need straight answers. "Can you bring him back?" She asked firmly.
"We have a few more minutes Miss Matthew, we need to start now."
Out of desperation. "You may proceed."
Master Christopher and Dr. Michael exchanged glances.
"Miss Matthew, we've tried everything possible," Master Christopher said interrupting him.
"I know," Jessica replied,"but Mr miller's approach can't hurt now. You've both done everything possible."
"you can start your treatment Mr Miller." she said giving room for him.
Liam stepped forward, a quiet confidence could be felt from him.
He brought out a box from his rugged bag and opened it, he brought out seven rusty needles then arranged it in the weathered leather cloth which he brought out from his bag. The needles are called the dragon set.
Liam's hands moved carefully, despite the mocking and piercing eyes surrounding him watching his movement.
From his weathered leather cloth, he took a slender needle and jiggled it.
"What is this, a circus act?" Master Christopher scoffed, arms crossed.
Liam ignored him, his focus was solely on Joseph. With utmost care, he placed the needle on the tip of Joseph's nose.
The room gasped. "There's no recognized acupoint there!" Dr. Michael exclaimed.
Christopher snorted. "Random placement. This is quackery."
“I knew he was a quak.” Cynthia muttered to herself.
But then, unexpectedly the unthinkable happened. The vital signs monitor sprang to life, beeping steadily.
“Reflex, it does not mean anything.” Cynthia waves her hands dismissively.
Christopher agreed with Cynthia's theory. "It is a reflex that occurs when the soul is about to leave the body."
But Jessica saw it, a flicker of life. Her grandfather's face regained its natural hue, and his fingers twitched slightly.
"A miracle?" Jessica whispered ignoring the negative statement Cynthia and Christopher were making.
Jessica is filled with hope as she sees her grandfather’s face regaining color and his fingers twitching slightly.
Liam’s eyes met hers, she looked at him with joy and gratefullness.
"Temporary revival, nothing more. Joseph's vital signs will plummet again."Master Christopher scoffed, arms crossed.
Despite the visible improvement, Christopher stubbornly insists that this is merely a temporary sign of life, a final momentary recovery before Joseph's inevitable death.
Liam's calm expression countered Christopher's feeling of contempt.
"My grandfather's life force is returning. The Dragon Needles are working. "Jessica exclaimed happily."
A scrowl could be seen on Gabriel's face.
With caution and accuracy, Liam inserted the remaining six needles completing the dragon treatment.
Joseph's vital signs continued to regulate and are now stable,but his eyes remained closed.
“Why is he Still unconscious? still paralyzed? Mr miller." Gabriel’s scornful tone filled the air.
Jessica looks at Liam expecting an answer.
"Master Christopher was able to get him to sit up, but you claim to have save him but he is not awake."
Gabriel, still doubtful, mocks Liam's efforts, pointing out that Joseph hasn’t yet regained consciousness and hasn’t even sat up, unlike during Christopher’s failed attempt.
His doubts begin to affect Jessica, who has already been emotionally strained by the day’s events, making her question whether Joseph has truly been saved or if Liam's actions are merely delaying the inevitable
Jessica's little hope began to fray. "What if...what if it's just a temporary reprieve? What if they were right about him.” she muttered to herself.
Jessica really hopes his method works.
Liam’s calm demeanor remained ."He was able to get him to sit up but could not save him life." He said shutting Gabriekl up.
" His life force is returning. Joseph's vital signs......"
"It is meaningless without consciousness," Christopher interrupted feeling insulted from Liam's last statement.
Their doubts begin to affect Jessica, who has already been emotionally strained by the day’s events, she begin to question whether Joseph has truly been saved or if Liam's actions are merely delaying the inevitable.
Liam was able to stabilise Joseph's condition but was questioned because Joseph did not sit up like he did when master Christopher treated him.Christopher mocked Liam's claim that Joseph's unconsciousness was due to the "Tame Head" curse, a dark Eastern magic involving parasitic creatures."Cat caught your tongue?" Cynthia said."Tame head curse.” Liam said"what?" Gabriel said.“He is unconscious due to the Tame head curse, a dark eastern magic involving parasitic creatures.”He continued.Christopher, Gabriel, Jessica and Cynthia exchanged disbelieving glances. "A curse?" Christopher raised an eyebrow. Gabriel snorted. "curse does not exist, neither do what you called the creature." Gabriel saidLiam's voice took on a hint of frustration. "You don't understand. This curse has been documented in ancient texts. I've watched my Master treat it."Cynthia leaned in, "Even if we believed you, how would this curse explain Mr Matthew’s condition?" "The Tame Head' curse involves a centi
"it can wait pa." Jessica said"I feel so much better princess.” Joseph said gently.His gentle smile soothed Jessica worries.Joseph's recovery was a blessing.His voice is weak but reassuring .“Come closer." He whispered.Jessica leaned in, holding his hand in hers“We should cancel the marriage arrangement with the Millers."Jessica's eyebrows furrowed. "Pa, I understand your concerns, but now isn't the time. Liam just saved your life."Joseph's expression look intense. "That is exactly why we should reconsider. I don't want you to bound to someone out of obligation.""We can't go back on our promise, especially after Liam's help. It would be ungrateful and dishonorable." Jessica insisted.Joseph sighed, his eyes clouding. "I owe Liam a debt, but that doesn't mean you must marry him."Jessica's jaw harden."I understand your concern pa but I've already promised Liam a one-year trial. I'll fulfill my commitment, Grandfather.” Her calling him grandfather means end of discussion.
Cynthia's disdain and distrust for Liam inspired her to sabotage his chances of staying at the company. She took him to a discount store.She chooses a few low-quality clothing items for him to try on, hoping to humiliate him by buying ill-fitting, low-quality clothes."Try these." she said, handling him a garish shirt."Okay" Liam answered.He collected the cloth and went to the fitting room to try the cloth.Ashley the heiress of Williams corporations approached cynthia. They met at a dinner a few years back while she was working for profit pioneer a financial advisory company.She helped Ashley secure a deal with them."Hii.... it is so lovely to see you here." Ashley said "Miss william, what brings you here?" Cynthia replied."I am about to release a new line of my collection so I am checking around for designs." she responded."That's great.""I saw you came with a friend.” she said“How do you know that country bumpkin" Ashley asked"who?" "Liam Miller, I heard he is engaged
After ending the calll, Jessica turned back to Cynthia.“What were you saying cynthia?” Jessica asked.“Mr Miller is a pervert and I have evidence to prove it.” she said with a straight face.She showed Jessica the picture she got from Ashley and a fabricated chat picturing him as a pervert.Jessica’s expression turned serious as she saw the picture. “Thank you, i assure you that measures will be taken against it.” she said “Keep the good work up.”“You can leave now.” She dismissed Cynthia.“Yes ma.” she said and left Jessica's office.Although Jessica did not take any immediate action, Cynthia leaves Jessica’s office feeling victorious believing that her plan to get Liam fired finally worked.Jessica looked at the papers Cynthia left on her desk containing a chat log between Liam and an unknown woman and the picture that clearly gives away his face.-Liam after taking care of his room decided to go to the herb market to get herbs to suppress the seal in him. He went to almost a
Liam shocked everyone when he arrogantly rejected Joshua's offer to become his apprentice, and even called Joshua unworthy. Before anyone can react further, Ryan, the chairman of Delvin Hub Martial Club United, collapses, spitting blood and losing consciousness after taking the cure administered by Joshua. “Father!!!..” Heather screamed as she rushed to hold him as he fell. He started spilling blood and lost consciousness.The crowd started murmuring, questioning Joshua’s expertise. “I thought he was the best in town.”........... “Is he dead?” Joshua rushes to check Ryan, he realizes that Liam was right he administered the wrong drug. He stood up to tender a public apology. “I am sorry for the failure of my treatment but his injuries are too severe for me to be able to save him.” He apologizes, admitting that his treatment had failed, and Ryan's injuries were too severe for him to save. “We lost him.” Joshua said. Heather, Ryan's daughter, is distraught, all hope is
As the reporters sighted Jessica and Ashley, they rushed over to them. Suddenly, Liam started coughing violently, spitting black blood.Jessica rushed to hold Liam before he blacked out.“Liam!...!!” she screamed as she rushed to his side. She looked around for Cynthia, she saw her running towards her.“Get the car.” She said to her. Ashley tried to touch Liam.“Get your hands off him.” she said, pulling Liam closer to herself.“Hey, can you hear me?” Jessica said, shaking his body gently.When the car arrived,Jessica’s body guard assisted her in lifting Liam into the car.She took one more glance at Ashley who was glaring at her before she entered the car. The reporters kept taking pictures even after Jessica’s car left. Ashley’s driver arrived and she left angrily.-In the car“Make sure none of those pictures get out.” Jessica told Cynthia. “Yes ma” she replied.Jessica turned her attention to Liam, her brow furrowed with worry as she stared at his pale face.He winces in pain
Liam wiped the sweat from his brow as he worked on his farm. An SUV appeared from afar, an unusual sight in these rural parts. Despite being the president, Liam comes to the farm to work sometimes.As it pulled up, a woman got down, dressed in designer attire that screams money.Her gaze swept over Liam, a look of disgust appeared on her face. "Liam Miller?" she asked, her voice dripping with disdain.Liam nodded, "That's me." He said."I'm Ashley Wilson," she said,scanning his worn out clothes and rugged surroundings. "Your arranged fiancée." She completed.“I can't believe I am engaged to a farm boy.” She muttered to herself.Liam's eyebrows shot up. "Arranged fiancée?"He knew his grandfather planned an arranged marriage but was not expecting it to be someone like her.Ashley snorted. "Don't get excited. I'm only here to make something clear,I won't marry you. It is not happening in your wildest dreams."As she spoke, she flaunted her diamond-studded watch and designer handbag,
Ashley was in awe when Liam entered the luxurious Rolls Royce,her eyes fixed on the car as it disappeared into Manhattan's traffic.She was too stunned to speak when the butler Davis smiths addressed him as “Mr Liam Miller.”Her embarrassment grew when she learnt that he is engaged to Jessica Matthew, one of New York's most influential women.She is in disbelief as the guy she dismissed as a small town boy and country bumpkin is not a nobody after all.Matthews estate On Manhattan's Upper East Side,as the Rolls-Royce glided through the iron gates.The grandeur of the mansion surprised Liam.As they entered the living room, he could not help but be amused by crystal chandeliers, marble floors, and exquisite artwork adorned the walls.“This way Mr. Miller.” David Wagner, the butler, escorted Liam to the office where Jessica awaited.He knocked twice and awaited a response.“Come in,”she said softly.David pulled the door and gestures for him to enter.Liam could not help but stare at Je
