“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.Related Chapters

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

“Watch out!” Victoria exclaimed only for an agonized scream to be heard the next moment.She froze in her tracks, her eyes widening in disbelief as she realized that the person who screamed wasn't William but was instead the thug with the steel pipe.Clutching his stomach while staggering backward, the thug stared at William with a shocked expression on his face before he fell to the ground, never to move again.Meanwhile, his weapon, the steel pipe, was now in William's hand.Scar and his men, who were laughing, immediately went silent as their gaze alternated between their fallen comrade and William, who remained standing.“Anyone else?” William inquired in a provocative tone.Scar glared at him as he gave the order. “Take that bastard down!”His subordinates immediately rushed William, intending to make him pay for whatever he'd done to one of their own but unfortunately, they overestimated their capabilities.They didn't even get the chance to land a single successful hit as Willi

The arrogant woman behind Stefan quickly added. “Make it two!” “Of course. Two weeks.” “And if I turn out to be correct?” “I'll apologize.” “Nah, let's make it more interesting. If I turn out to be correct, you'll not only have to compensate me for the time wasted and the unnecessary insults with a free dress, and yes, the dress has to be your most expensive.” Stefan could barely contain his surprise at William's audacity. “Also, you'll have to make a public apology using the announcement speakers.” “You…” “I have no reason to accept your ridiculous challenge, Mr. Stefan. I only made an observation so if you wish so badly to prove that I'm wrong. You'll have to agree.” Stefan gritted his teeth as he pondered on his next response.

Taken aback by Victoria's words, the worker had no choice but to take a step back though she still looked at Victoria with a bit of contempt.“Better.” Then, Victoria walked in with William following closely behind.As the duo moved to shop, the worker rushed to inform her boss of two potential delinquents in the store.Meanwhile, William and Victoria engrossed themselves in shopping only for two middle-aged women to pause a few meters away.“What are those two paupers doing in a place like this?”“I have no idea. They look absolutely classless, I feel like I shouldn't even be looking at them.”“Then don't,” William remarked, barely able to keep pretending that he couldn't hear them.The larger of the two women snorted. “People without class like you shouldn't be in such a place. You won't even be able to afford a piece of underwear talk more of a full set of clothes.”“You are quick to judge aren't you?”“I am merely stating the obvious.” The woman insisted. “I mean, if you had class

Victoria went wide-eyed in an instant. “You somehow managed to get involved with the Khan family?... You are just full of surprises.”William didn't even know how to start explaining himself so he just ended up deciding to stay silent.Victoria chuckled. “Well then, I'm guessing you don't have a date.”“Unfortunately, I don't,” William admitted with Victoria quickly following up.“So why don't I be your date?”“You must be busy, right?”“Not at all. It's an opportunity for me to establish a relationship with the Khan family. In truth, I have been planning on doing that ever since I was made heiress of the Smith Consortium.”“You just made that up.” William accused with Victoria feigning taking offense.“How could you?”Shaking his head, William remarked. “Fine then.”“Yay.” Victoria clapped her hands. “Before we head there, we definitely have to go shopping.”“I've got some nice clothes though…” William said only for Victoria to place a finger on his lips.“You can never have too many

The medics tried to get the people who had gathered around to clear up so they could leave with Lionel.Unfortunately, judging from how Lionel appeared, the chances of him surviving until they got to the hospital were slim.Regardless, the medics had no other choice as they couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong with Lionel.Though it appeared to be a heart attack, they found themselves unable to get it to calm down, causing Lionel a great deal of pain in the process.Just then, William stepped up and remarked. “You guys won't be able to get to the hospital in time.”“Thank you for telling us what we already know, genius.” One of the medics lashed out in clear annoyance. “Got any other bright ideas you'd like to share with us?... If not, then get the hell out of the way.”“I can save him. My name is William Belmont, and I'm a doctor.”“Do you think we are fools?...

Ali was stunned as he realized that Zayn was actually well again just like William had said.Did that mean his claim of the building being gifted to him was true as well?Soon, the duo arrived and Ali tried to step forward as he greeted them. "This junior pays respects to the patriarch."Zayn didn't even bother with him as he glanced at William, a smile on his lips.“Mister Belmont, I heard my daughter gave you a present without informing me. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not immediately doing that when you saved me from certain death.”At the side, Ali trembled somewhat at the unexpected news that William was actually the one who healed his grandfather."Then it's good I met you here today.""I didn't think your family had a knack for taking back what they had already given away," William said, causing Zayn's expression to turn sour as he glanced at Ali."It would seem I have allowed your parents to indulge you for far too long, Ali.""No, Grandpa, it's nothing like that."

An offering
“I guess that's known all around, huh?” William said as he rubbed the top of his lip. Zara chuckled. “I had no idea you were such a capable man.”“Well, I pride myself on being a man of many talents.”Pursing her lips, Zara asked. “Why did you save my grandfather?”“I also already told you that.”“I know but it doesn't make sense that you don't want anything at all,” Zara said, feeling slightly suspicious.“Well, I don't,” William remarked. “And that won't be changing. Now then, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get some rest.”“Wait.”“Hmm?”“Thank you.”“For?”“Saving my grandfather.”William nodded. “You're welcome.”“One more thing.”“Tell me.”Zara quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out a key card.“Take this.”“What is that?”“Keys to a beach house. It's yours now.”“I don't want it,” William said dismissively before turning to leave.“Please.”William paused in his tracks.“Take it as an offering.”“Offering?” William glanced back at Zara with a raised brow.“Yes, an of

“This is impossible, father, how did this happen?” Omar, Zara’s father remarked.Zayn snorted. “I thought you for so many years yet when I needed your expertise the most, you went ahead to give a rubbish diagnosis. All it took this man to save me was just one look. I should beat you for disappointing me.”“Father, I don't understand. You were clearly suffering from dementia.”“Best stop talking rubbish otherwise, don't blame me for beating you!” Zayn warned.Omar said nothing, though he didn't hesitate to glare at William, with the latter meeting his gaze calmly.“Dad, come with me, we have to head to the hospital to run some tests.”“Bah, I told you that focusing too much on modern mediums is going to make you small-minded, yet you still don't want to listen. Look here, this young man has cured me so there's no reason to carry out any other checks ups. Just take me home.”“But dad…”“I said take me home already. I need to rest, and yes, this young man is coming with us,” Zayn said, l

“Grandpa.” Zara breathed out in shock as she stared at her now-breathing grandfather.Zayn Khan, Zara’s grandfather, gasped for air while he kept his gaze on William.It was clear that unlike before, he was aware of his surroundings.“Grandpa,” Zara called out again, snapping him out of his momentary trance.Zayn reached out and stroked Zara's hair. “Zara, my dear granddaughter, it's truly you.”“Grandpa,” Zara muttered, her eyes wet once again but not out of sadness but instead of joy.She instinctively leaped into Zayn's arms, embracing him tightly while letting out the joy in her heart.The guards exchanged looks with one another, unsure of what to make of the current situation as they didn't expect such an outcome.Satisfied that his work was done, William made to leave only for Zayn to call out to him.“Young man!”William paused, glancing back at Zayn, who was scrutinizing him with clear eyes.“You saved me.”“I was only doing my job.” William calmly replied.“But it doesn't cha

As they watched William leave, the two guards began to mock him. “Hmmph, he really thought that the young miss would fall for his lies.”“That's what he gets for thinking he can deceive us with his petty acts.”Just then, Zara spoke up, addressing the departing William. “Wait!”William paused and then, glanced back at Zara while the guards panicked.“Young Miss, don't tell me…”“Hush.” Zara scolded before shifting her attention back to the waiting William.“Can my grandfather truly be saved?” It was clear that she was trying to believe that William could truly save her grandfather.William nodded. “He can. Though the process is delicate, I am one hundred percent certain that I can pull it off.”Biting down on her lower lip, Zara pondered for a while before she finally replied. “Then please, help me save my grandfather.”“No, young Miss, you mustn't believe the words of a scammer!” The first guard cried out with the other remarking.“He clearly doesn't know what he is saying.
