"Do you think treating someone is a joke, Jeff?" With a glare in his eyes, Professor Sean spoke. Jeff's words appear to have reached him earlier. Professor Sean finds it ridiculous that a boy who was recently admitted and has not even started school is making jokes about treating a patient who has been ill for years.He gave Jeff a look that implied, 'I'm disappointed in you'. With composure, Jeff said, "Professor, I am not here to joke," and he moved to the elderly man's side. "I can cure his illness.""Stop making jokes and leave now," Professor Sean said harshly and turned to face the family members of the Windsor Family. "I apologize deeply for any inconvenience my student may have caused. I will see how the Old Master is doing."Jeff thought that Professor Sean was acting differently than he usually did. Isn't this the man who invited his favorite students to have dinner with him?If Jeff told Professor Sean that he was switching to a department that was dying, Jeff wondered wh
Professor Sean couldn't believe his ears. The department of Traditional Medicine? The department with the fewest number of students?In All Stars, the department is always considered the worst department and now someone who is called a genius decides to choose the course.Professor Sean felt humiliated and annoyed. He struggled for a while to come up with a plan of action. He has already let his students know that the bright young man will be joining the department of modern medicine.Jeff is attempting to switch departments in addition to having contact with his patient."Why?"He was calm, but there was no denying the anger in his voice."Personal reasons, Sir" Jeff answered. "And I think it's what I'm good at.""Oh. The traditional medicine department is one of the worst departments in All Stars. It doesn't suit someone like you" Professor Sean uttered, his breath growing thin and ragged. "I apologize if this caught you off guard. It is a decision I've thought through." Seeing the
Jeff stood frozen, his eyes wide with disbelief. How did Emily Swinton end up in this decrepit place?As if sensing his shock, Emily turned towards him, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. She seemed unfazed by her surroundings, radiating an unexpected excitement. "Jeff! What a pleasant surprise to see you here!" she exclaimed. Gathering his thoughts, Jeff responded cautiously, "Emily? What on earth are you doing here? This place is...unexpected."Emily shrugged, her gaze flickering around the boxing ring. "Oh, you know, always up for an adventure. And this place certainly qualifies as...unconventional."There is definitely more to seeing Emily here! She was even familiar with the big guy."Who were you referring to as Sharp? And how did you know I came with someone?" Jeff couldn't help but ask."I saw you when you entered and I thought you looked very familiar" Emily answered. "You came in with Professor Paul, right? I was referring to him as Sharp.""How do you know so much?"
As the sun began to set, casting an orange glow across the horizon, Jeff sat silently in the passenger seat of the car, taking in the passing scenery. After a long day, his thoughts were still occupied by what had happened at the gambling boxing site. He couldn't help but wonder about Emily's presence there, and his curiosity finally got the best of him.Jeff hesitantly spoke up, turning to face Professor Paul, who was preoccupied with finding his way back to the City. "Professor, if you do not mind my asking, how did you come to know Emily? And why was she at that place, of all places?"Professor Paul's eyes briefly shifted from the road to Jeff before returning his attention to the task at hand. There was a moment of silence, as if the professor was contemplating how much he should reveal. Eventually, he let out a deep exhale before responding, "I haven't known Emily for long, Jeff. We met at the very place we are returning from - the gambling boxing site."Jeff's eyes widened in
Arlina sat in front of her mirror, meticulously brushing her long hair in the luxurious space that was filled with pricey artwork and plush furnishings. Her elegant manner was highlighted by the low lighting as she got ready for another glamorous evening.Her slim figure was gracefully adorned with an evening gown of emerald green, which shimmered like a leaf kissed by dew. Arlina's radiant smile reflected in the mirror, hinting at the excitement that bubbled within her.The room echoed with the distinct sound of her cell phone ringing, just as she finished brushing her silky hair. Arlina, slightly displeased with the interruption, reached for her phone and took a quick look at the caller ID. It was her closest friend, Amelia, who also served as her loyal secretary.Curious, Arlina pressed the answer button and raised the phone to her ear. "What's the matter, Amelia?""Sorry for intruding, Mrs. Malfoy but I just received an update from Mr. Malfoy" Amelia replied. "He won't be able t
Arlina's heart raced as she stepped out of the hospital's double doors. She couldn't fathom what she had just witnessed in that hospital room. The sight had shaken her to the core, leaving her mind clouded with confusion and disbelief.As she briskly walked away from the medical facility, her mind replayed the image of those faces surrounding Jeff. It was odd seeing him among affluent people, especially ones she had never seen before even though she isn't poor herself. Questions flooded her thoughts, multiplying like wildfire. What was Old Master Scavo doing with a country boy like him? She just couldn't believe it. Turning a corner, she spotted a flicker of movement out of the corner of her eye. It was just the person's silhouette but Arlina thought the person looked familiar. But she wasn't in her right mind, so she quickened her steps and walked out of the Hospital.Meanwhile, Jeff was also as shocked as Arlina. He really didn't expect to see all those people visit him.A big
As soon as Grace read the message, she realized something was not right. She got to her feet and fiddled with her phone with trembling hands.Since she arrived outside Starry City with Ricky, everything had not been the same. Grace was aware that going to jail was a much better option than staying here, even though Old Master Scavo chose not to file any charges.At first, she was fed up, she tried calling all the numbers she knew but it just didn't go through. It felt as though she had vanished entirely from the world.Two days ago, Ricky left home, saying he wanted to meet up with his manager.Grace decided it would be best if Ricky spoke with his Manager since he was asked not to sign the company's next contract.And since two days ago, Ricky hadn't returned home.When she saw the message on her phone, she was starting to become restless, and she had a gut feeling that Ricky had either done something or was about to do something.With haste, Grace gathered a few items and prepared t
"Mrs. Malfoy, not Miss Woods" The stylish woman corrected, bringing the cup of coffee to her lips. "I'm surprised you asked to meet, Mrs...""Call me Grace, and I will call you by your name as well," Grace replied.Some years back Arlina and Grace met at an auction house. They weren't acquainted then but they met again at a tea party and we're familiar with each other.Their familiarity isn't like that of close friends, it is much like that relationship between wealthy people.Arlina was married to one of the richest men in Arty City while Grace also directs the biggest constituents of the Scavo Group. Arlina wasn't really interested in Grace before but after what she saw at the hospital, she just couldn't think of anything while Grace knew that only someone with the same power as the Scavo family could be worthy of interfering in the matters at hand.Even if something goes wrong, it won't affect the Malfoy Family too much.Grace knows her son, what he can do, and what he cannot do.
