“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

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
