2025-01-04 00:08:04“Such a successful doctor would decide to become a kept man?” Victoria couldn't quite fathom why William would do such a thing.
She could only attribute to foolishness born out of love which caused her to feel pity for William. If he had been smart, he would have continued in his career which would ensure that his future remained bright. Unfortunately, there was no way he could get back the time he'd lost, and so Victoria felt he could only wallow in self-pity. “Send me a picture of him.” Victoria instinctively said. If she ever came across the fellow, she would try and see if he wished to have another go at being a doctor. “Doing so now,” Tanya said. A moment later, Victoria got the picture and she immediately froze as the person in the picture was quite familiar. Just then, the emergency room door burst open with two nurses rushing out in a panic. “Young Miss, there's a huge problem.” Victoria immediately put her phone away as she inquired. “What's wrong?” “It's your younger sister, Katie.” One of the nurses said. “She suddenly stopped breathing and her vitals signs are dangerously low. If something isn't done soon, she might die.” “What!?” Victoria turned pale as she struggled to accept that her sister was on the brink of death. Just then, Vincent rushed out, preparing to scold the nurses for rushing out the way they did only to freeze as he made eye contact with a livid Victoria. “Young Miss…” Victoria silenced him with a tight slap across the cheek, shocking everyone present. “I thought you said you were the best!... You said you would make sure nothing happened to her!... So what is this I am hearing!... Tell me!” “Young Miss, it's not as bad as these fools claim it to be. Everything is under control.” Vincent tried to explain only for Victoria to slap him again. “Shut your mouth!... I knew you were a quack from the moment I laid eyes on you. How dare you put my sister in such a critical condition?” Vincent felt humiliated as everyone watched Victoria scold him like a child. Just then, Damian emerged in a bid to soothe Victoria's nerves. “Young Miss.” “Don't you dare say anything to me!... Because of your lies, my sister is going to die, and I promise you that if that happens, I will not spare you and this quack. Do you understand me?” “Young miss, please calm down.” “Calm down?... Did you just say I should calm down?” Victoria glared at Damian causing him to swallow everything else he wished to say. Just then, Raymond rushed over to whisper something in Damian's ear, causing the old deputy to light up as he glanced to the side, quickly laying eyes on William. “Young Miss, everything isn't over yet. There's still someone that can save your sister.” “And you expect me to believe you?” Victoria questioned. Feeling like something bad was about to happen, Vincent tried to speak up. “Dad…” “Shut your mouth!” Damian coldly remarked before addressing Victoria. “The person is a famed doctor at our institution. You can look up his title online. He is popularly known as the LifeGiver.” “Dad, you can't do this.” Vincent protested. “He hasn't worked at our hospital for years. How sure are you that he is skilled enough to reverse the current situation?” “If I hear you speak again, I will not hesitate to relieve you of your tongue, do you understand what I am saying?” Victoria warned, causing Vincent to back away in fright. Then, she turned to Damian. “Where is this doctor you are talking about?” “Well, he is right over…” Damian trailed off only to pause as he realized that William was gone. “Where did he go?” He asked in confusion only for a nurse to exclaim. “He's over there.” Everyone turned towards where she was pointing just in time to discover a man in a surgeon's outfit rushing into the surgery room. Instinctively, Victoria rushed toward the room along with Damian, Vincent, and Raymond. *** William couldn't stand by and watch Katie die while Damian and Victoria continued to bicker like kids. So the moment the nurse had announced that Katie's condition was critical, he immediately made his move, rushing over to the closet to change into appropriate clothing before rushing into the surgery room. He could explain things later but there was no way he would sit by and watch Katie die, not when he could do something about it. By the time Victoria and the others arrived at the surgery room door, William had already started the process, his demeanor calm and collected as he worked hard to save Katie's life. Victoria couldn't even be mad as she instinctively felt like her sister was in safe hands. “Who is that?” Victoria asked with Damian replying. “That's the doctor I was talking about, Young Miss. As long as he has taken over, your sister is as good as cured.” Vincent grew bitter hearing his father praise William in such a manner, further increasing his hatred towards the fellow. What was so great about him that everyone couldn't stop praising him?... Did they think he was infallible?... Of course not! He didn't even care about Katie's life as he only wished for William to fail so that everyone would realize that he wasn't as good as they claimed him to be.

Ignoring the looks of everyone outside, William used his spiritual energy to scan Katie's body thoroughly.His intuition made him believe that what was afflicting Katie wasn't as simple as the others made it out to be.It didn't take long before he found what he was looking for, causing him to act without hesitation.He immediately picked up a scalpel and to the shock of everyone watching, made an incision on the young girl's wrist to draw blood.Then he placed a bowl underneath to collect it.“What is he doing?” Victoria asked in confusion.She expected William to begin some complicated surgery but all he had done was to make an incision.Damian was also quite confused as he replied. “I don't know.”“Haha, at least everyone can see now that the great and mighty LifeGiver isn't as smart as you think he is. Instead of him to start the operation, he is collecting blood. It's clear that he has no intention of saving the young girl and only wants to kill her faster.” Vincent said.Victori

Upon seeing that Katie's condition was getting better, everyone in the operating room was shocked, most especially Vincent who didn't want to believe that William could turn the situation around.Damian was also in disbelief as he muttered. “There's no way this is as a result of conventional medicine.”“What are you saying, sir?” Raymond asked with Damian replying.“I may not be the best doctor in the world, but I have seen several medical procedures, and I can tell you now that what William is doing is unprecedented!... If I were to guess, he is merging conventional medicine with an ancient form of healing.”“What rubbish?... Dad, don't tell me you believe that such voodoo practices work.” Vincent said at the side unwilling to admit what everyone else was thinking.If Damian's deduction was correct, then truly, William's actions were unprecedented.Very few in the medical world could claim to have successfully merged modern and alternative forms of medicine.Damian scolded. “Are you

However, they were also aware that he was deserving of the attention, after all, he had done something that no one else could have accomplished.William flashed a charming smile as he replied. “Always happy to help.”Then, he turned to leave only for Victoria to call out to him again.“Leaving just like that?”“Is there a reason for me to remain?” “Your reward, of course,” Victoria said, before adding. “I doubt such processes are free.”Just then, Damian and Vincent stepped forward. “Young Miss, you can pay the money into the hospital account. We'll disburse pay to each participant in the operation from there.”“I must look like a fool to you then.” Victoria coldly replied, catching the duo off guard.“Young Miss?”“The fact that I haven't reported you and your idiotic son to the police for attempted murder should already be considered a mercy, yet you want to bite off more than you can chew.”“It's nothing like that at all.” Damian tried to explain only for Victoria to raise her han

“I thought you no longer worked here,” Victoria remarked as she bridged the distance, standing at arm's length from William.William nodded. “That is indeed correct.”“So do I take it that you were stalking me?” Victoria teased with William replying.“Not at all. I came to see a patient before the whole debacle with your sister.”“Ah.” Victoria realized she had misread things causing her to ask. “A family member?”“Something like that,” William replied.The person in question was, in fact, an old lady who had taken him in after he'd left the mountain where the Old Sage resided to enter the big city.She had taken care of him like a family member and now that she was close to the end of her life, William decided to visit her.In truth, he could extend her lifespan but she didn't want that, instead desiring to pass away peacefully.“I see,” Victoria muttered, though still quite skeptical over his answer because she had done some more digging into his past only to turn up with nothing.A

“Ah, it seems I made a mistake, Miss Smith.” Scar said as he took a step forward.Victoria raised a brow. “What mistake?”“This invitation is not a request. You will be coming with me. But it is up to you if you will follow me the easy way or the hard way. Ultimately, the choice is yours.”“Are you trying to go against the Smith family?” Victoria questioned, attempting to use her family as a shield.Scar smirked as he replied. “I wouldn't dare.”“Then…”“But it doesn't change the fact that you will be coming with me. Now then, how would you like to come with us?... Free or bound?... Choose quickly, I have a short temper.”Victoria paused as she realized that whatever was happening was a conspiracy.The fact that Scar wasn't wary of her identity meant two things; the person backing him was either on par with her or was someone from her family.She was well aware that not everyone in her family was happy with her identity as heiress of the Smith family.Regardless, stopping her from mak

This isn't over
Starting with the first thug, William dealt with each one without mercy, ensuring that by the time he was down to the last man, the thug had already wet himself in fright, his body trembling as he stared wide-eyed at William as though he were a demon.“You are the one they mentioned.” The thugs remarked as he took a step back.“Hmm?”“I knew your face was familiar, you are William Belmont.”William was surprised and asked. “You know me?”The thug gulped anxiously. “Yes, of course!... Mr. Belmont, I'm so sorry, this is all a misunderstanding.”Then, he yanked off his mask, revealing a face covered in scars.“I'm Bobby and I work for the Sinister Six.”“I see.” “I'm sorry, sir; if we had known it was you, we wouldn't have dared to come near you!”The other thugs finally caught on, realizing that the man they had been sent after was no small individual.They swiftly scrambled to their feet to apologize. “This is a huge misunderstanding!”“Please, have a smoke, Mister Belmont.

After apologizing to William, Celia's father turned to Ava and Andre. “William here has warned us that the pill was fake and dangerous, but you two were the loudest objectors. I don't even know what to say about your foolishness anymore.”,Ava and Andre stood awkwardly with lowered heads.To think that their father had done the same thing but he was blaming them alone. The doctor's ears perked up at this exchange as he asked with a frown. “Pill?... Are you, by any chance, talking about a medicinal pill from the Heavenly Orchard?”Ava thought the doctor might have some insight and eagerly replied. “Yes, it's exactly that. Doctor, you can tell that the pill grandpa took was a genuine pill, right?”“Hmm, well…”“Heh, I knew it couldn't be fake since Harold got them directly from Heavenly Orchard. It's perfectly normal for Grandpa to faint. His body was just too weak for such powerful medicine.”Ava had already begun to toot her own horn, only for her analysis to be met with a cold laugh

If not for his good relationship with Diego and the fact that the old man was nothing like his
Don't push me
Celia frowned and said. “William, you may know something about medicine as a doctor but the medicinal pill is a closely guarded secret of the Heavenly Orchard. Claiming you know about it is ridiculous.”Harold, who has been watching with a smile, chimed in, “Since William claims my pill is fake, perhaps he could explain exactly how?”“A fake is a fake. What more explanation is needed?” William retorted. Harold sighed with feigned patience. “William, I think there's been a misunderstanding. Perhaps you are upset about Celia and me, but this pill was obtained at great expense through my connections at Heavenly Orchard. Don't you think it's going too far to insult my sincere gift like this?”His words immediately stirred the family's sympathy as they glared at William in disgust.Ava scolded. “William, if you can't say anything nice, then you are welcome to leave!”“That's enough, William!... It's one thing to be incompetent but being unable to accept others' success makes you truly pat
Ambrosia
After hearing what Ava had to say, Diego scowled and retired. “Such ignorance!... I've lived for more years than you have!... Do you think you are wiser than me?”“No, that's not…” Ava tried to explain only to be sharply cut off by Diego.“Listen here, I once had the privilege of tasting just half a glass of this at a noble family's home and I've never forgotten it!”The family turned to stare at William, who remained composed and said. “This wine lives up to its name as Ambrosia.”Diego nodded approvingly. “Well said, my boy. Now then, about the rest of the wine, hand it over quickly.”Chuckling, William calmly handed over the bottle and Diego's breathing quickened with excitement.He fought the urge to snatch the bottle from William,. exclaiming in vivid excitement. “Oh my, there's still a lot of it left. This would fetch nearly a million dollars on the market. You are quite generous!”“Dad, is this cheap wine really as amazing as you are claiming?” Celia's father asked skeptically.
Cheap wine
“Granddad, look at this.” Andre pulled up a decorated box of wine. “Harold brought this beautiful wine over, a fine Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1945. We should all toast with this!”“Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1945? That’s a really expensive wine, no?”“Yes, it is. It was three hundred thousand dollars a bottle!” Harold boasted.“What? Three hundred thousand dollars a bottle?!” everyone exclaimed in shock. The sky-high price had been way beyond their expectations.The Rodriguez family was pretty well–off, but even they hadn’t had a chance to try something this expensive.“Why’d you spend all that money on this, Harold? It’s too much, no?” Ava questioned, though pride laced her tone.“Three hundred thousand isn’t much. I have another barrel of this at home, so please, you all enjoy,” Harold said with a prideful grin.“Mr. O'Malley, you’re really generous.”“Yeah, we’re really in for a treat tonight!”The family began praising Harold for his wine, feeding his ego further.“Hey, boy, look a
