2025-01-11 02:47:17"No," Sebastian shook his head, much to the medical director’s disappointment. "But he will make a good addition to your team, especially since you’ve got quite a bunch of quacks working for you."
The face of the medical director flushed red at his words. Embarrassed, he lowered his head. "I'll take my leave now." "Yes," Sebastian waved dismissively. His phone also rang and he had to step away too. The medical director returned to the office before calling the doctor he had been questioning earlier. "Get me the footage of the old man's ward." The doctor didn't question his request and quickly did as he was instructed. Soon the monitor on the desk began to play footage. The medical director watched with rapt attention. When the footage began to play the scene where Maverick began to treat the old man, the medical director's eyes dilated in shock. His lips trembled and he couldn't sit still. "Director, is everything okay?" The doctor was scared by his reaction. "That... That... That..." The director pointed a trembling finger at the screen. "That is the lost Life Thread Technique!" "Lost what?" The young doctor was puzzled. The medical director couldn't contain his excitement as he rambled on, "I read about this acupuncture technique in a book sometime ago. A single needle can regenerate rotten flesh. More needles will resurrect the dead by awakening the body's vital energy!" "Really?" The doctor was intrigued. He has only learnt modern medicine and has no sort of knowledge in traditional medicine. "Yes," The medical director nodded vigorously. "But this technique has been lost and never practiced. I have to find this man." The medical director looked at Sebastian with shining eyes like he was a god. Now he understands Sebastian's words. "In this footage, he is wearing our hospital gown. Was he patient here?" The director looked up at the doctor. But the latter shook his head with an awkward smile, "I didn't notice. No one did. We were more focused on the old man." "Tch!" The medical director hissed in frustration. "Check around and see if he is still here. If he has left, get his contact information from the receptionist." "Yes sir," The doctor nodded, scurrying out of the office right away. ___________ When Maverick left the hospital, he headed to a shopping mall first. The patient gown he wore was making him uncomfortable and attracting attention from people around. He wanted to change into something simple before heading to the Beaumont's family home and getting his belongings. Maverick just didn't know the taxi driver would drive to a luxurious shopping mall. He only found out when he had gotten out of the taxi. Then he thought even if he runs into any problem at the mall, he could easily sort out the issue with the black card Sebastian had given him. So he walked straight into the mall. On the second floor of the same mall, two beautiful ladies were strolling around. One was shorter than the other and looked very unhappy. "Ophelia, it doesn't matter if that dress is sold out, we can get a better one. I heard the Timeless store has a new limited edition dress on sale. Let's check it out," Isabella seemed to be trying to pacify her friend. "But that was the dress I wanted. It's Chanel for crying out loud. Can Timeless be compared with Chanel?" Ophelia's frown deepened. "Ophelia, listen... It doesn't matter if you wear Timeless or Chanel. All that matters is that Sebastian notices you right?" "Yes," Ophelia's facial expression quickly morphs into a shy one. "But he has those long legged bimbos hovering around him all the time." "They won't be there tonight. It's your father's birthday party. They wouldn't dare to—ah!" Isabella's words ended in a sudden scream, startling Ophelia so badly she jumped. "What's wrong with you?" "Ophelia... I just saw Maverick," Isabella trembled with fear and held on to her friend's hands tightly. "Maverick?" Ophelia's brows furrowed. "Your brother-in-law who has now gone missing?" "He is not my brother-in-law," Isabella gritted her teeth. "Isn't he supposed to be dead?" "Dead?" Ophelia was taken aback but quickly regained her composure. "Are you sure it was him you saw?" "Yes, I saw him. He was just over there," Isabella pointed a shaky finger at some pillars. But when Ophelia looked, she only saw some unknown people passing by. She didn't see Maverick. "I don't see him." "Ophelia, please come with me," Isabella suddenly pulled her. "I have to confirm if it was Maverick I saw or not." "What about my dress?" "Please," Isabella pleaded, faking a pitiful expression. "My sister has been worried sick. If he is alive, she has to know." Ophelia sighed and gave in, "Fine." Isabella pulled her, and together, they went in search of Maverick. They eventually found him going into a familiar store. "Look, I wasn't wrong. That's him!" Unlike earlier, Isabella was no longer scared. Instead she displayed a self-righteous anger and told her friend, "Come with me. I'll ask him why he deceived my sister and is living without remorse for the pain he has caused her." Ophelia seemed reluctant to tag along as she never really liked Maverick and didn't care if he was dead or alive. But it was Timeless store and she had to get her dress so she had no choice but to follow Isabella. She just didn't know that contrary to what Isabella said, her actual thought is to confirm if it is really Maverick and find out how he survived. Then she has to inform her sister and her soon-to-be brother-in-law immediately. Since this bastard is still alive, what if he tries to expose their deeds? Not only Elliot, she and her sister would end up in jail! "Welcome to Timeless." Isabella barely paid attention to the sales attendant greeting them as she scrutinized the store until she found the person she was looking for. "Maverick!" Maverick who was sitting on a chair suddenly paused upon hearing the familiar voice before looking up with a cold expression. "Oh my God!" Isabella's fingers flew to her lips. This time, she couldn't stop her body from trembling. "It's really you... You are not dead yet!"

I saw her car in the driveway," He asked in a taut tone as he moved past her, heading deeper into the house."How is it any of your business if she’s home or not?"

"He's the heir to the Lancaster family—the sole successor to their empire. And you? A wretched, amnesiac nobody? How could someone like you ever compare to him?
