After the nurse left the ward, Maverick stood up without much difficulty, noting with slight surprise that the pain he had felt the previous night was gone. Could this be due to his triggered memories?
Mulling over the thought, he left the ward and headed down the hallway. A small crowd had gathered at the door of the last room on the floor. The doctors and nurses wore their worries on their faces and were whispering amongst themselves. Maverick's brows arched slightly. But as he got closer, the reason for the tense atmosphere became clear. Through the transparent windows, he saw an old man lying unconscious on the bed, various tubes connected to his frail body. Though pale and sickly, his appearance screamed of wealth. The silk robe he wore and the rare, gold-rimmed glasses on the side table spoke volumes about his status. Inside the ward, a doctor stood by the bed alongside three other people. Yet it wasn’t the doctor or even the old man that drew Maverick’s attention. It was her. A dazzling woman stood near the bed, exuding an icy elegance. She wore a sleek black trench coat over a fitted turtleneck and trousers, her fiery red hair cascading in waves down her back. Her smooth porcelain skin glowed under the bright hospital lights, and her full lips were set in an unreadable line, concealing any trace of emotion. Maverick had always thought Lydia was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. But now, just one glance at this woman had him captivated, unable to tear his eyes away. Inside the ward, the three people seemed to be talking, but Maverick couldn’t hear them. His curiosity got the better of him, and he moved closer. "Moira, don't worry. I’ve personally invited doctor Andrew. Remember, he is the best and youngest surgeon in the country. Grandfather will definitely be healed," a young man standing near the woman tried to reassure her. "Thank you for your help, Liam. What would I have done without you?" The woman, Moira Huxley, lifted her head, giving Maverick a glimpse of her stunning emerald eyes. Liam’s face lit up at her words, though he quickly masked his expression with a feigned look of modesty. "Ay, Moira. We’ve been friends for so long. Why do you still need to thank me for little things like this? It wasn’t difficult to invite Andrew as soon as I heard. If I don’t do this, who will?" As he spoke, Liam took a step closer, his arms moving slightly as if to embrace her. But Moira moved forward just then, sidestepping his advance unknowingly. Before Liam could recover from the awkwardness, the third man in the ward, sharp-eyed and deliberate, stepped between them. "Liam, I am perfectly capable of taking care of my grandfather and my sister," Sebastian Huxley spoke in a curt tone. His dark eyes held a warning as they locked onto Liam. "Thank you for your concerns." Liam rolled his eyes, muttering just loud enough for Sebastian to hear, "I wouldn’t even be here if someone had not been partying all night long." Sebastian's eyes narrowed dangerously and he was just about to give Liam a befitting reply when Moira posed a question, "Doctor Andrew, how is my grandfather’s condition? Can he be saved?" The young doctor who had been performing a medical check-up on the old man stepped back and avoided her gaze. His face was grim and he hesitated to speak, clearly uncomfortable. RING! Before he could answer, Moira’s phone rang. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "This had better be important," she snapped, answering it in a hurry. "Yes?" "Ma’am, there’s a problem with the contract," the anxious voice on the other end responded. Moira immediately gestured to the others in the ward, signaling she would be back shortly. She stepped out of the room, barely noticing Maverick. Doctor Andrew sighed in relief once she was gone, then looked at Sebastian, who was watching him closely. His discomfort deepened. "Young master," He wiped off the sweat from his brows. "I didn't want to say this in front of the young miss." Sebastian exchanged a look with Liam. The doctor's expression doesn't look good. Could the situation be dire than they thought? "The situation is far more critical than we anticipated. The old man’s condition has already deteriorated beyond what I can treat. I’m afraid there’s nothing more I can do." "Doctor Andrew, what are you talking about?" Liam immediately walked up to the doctor. "I invited you here because you have no record of failure. Why—" "Master Liam, the old man's condition had already worsened before I was summoned. It's not my—" "Very good, Liam. This is the miracle doctor you found? What kind of miracle is this? Bullshit!" Sebastian growled angrily. "Young master Huxley, I understand that you are upset right now but I tried all I could," Doctor Andrew was offended but maintained his composure. "Your grandfather is already in the last stage. Several of his organs have already failed. It’s a miracle he’s held on this long. Please accept my condolences and begin to prepare for his funeral." "You..." Sebastian's jaw clenched, his teeth grinding so hard that it almost hurt. His clenched fists were trembling. His eyes swept over the doctors and nurses gathered by the door, and his frustration erupted. "Can’t any of you do something?! You’re all supposed to be experts, aren’t you?" Then his voice cracked as he raised two fingers desperately, "I tell you today, my Huxley family will forever be indebted to anyone who is able to resuscitate my grandfather." Maverick looked at the team of doctors and nurses just then but they all stepped back. The Huxley's family is an influential family with a net worth of billions. Everyone wants to curry favour with them. But even the miracle doctor has given up on the old man, so what's the use of stepping forward? It's all pointless! 'Humph!' Doctor Andrew crossed his arms, his face smug. 'There’s nothing more anyone can do. Even I have done all I can. None of you will find a better doctor than me. It’s over.' Maverick watched the old man, his breath shallow and his skin pale with the unmistakable signs of impending death. The faint blue tinge to his lips was enough to tell anyone familiar with these signs: a death certificate would be written soon. Sebastian's shoulders slumped and his face fell into his palms, unable to contain his emotions any longer. The medical team had already begun disconnecting the machines, preparing to move on. But just as the final machine was about to be turned off, a low voice suddenly called out, "Hold on!"Related Chapters

All eyes turned to the pale-faced figure that walked into the ward calmly. Not to mention that he was wearing a hospital gown and looked completely out of place."Although the old man is in the late stage, there is still hope for him to live. It is just that he has been given the wrong treatment which worsened his health condition."The people in the ward were shocked. How could this strange man easily diagnose what even the miracle doctor couldn't discern?Doctor Andrew frowned and snorted, "Who are you? Are you lost? If you are searching for a doctor, head over to the reception for help. This is not a place you should be."Maverick's brows arched and his lips curled into a sneer, "Are you the miracle doctor? I think you are just a fraud."Everyone's eyes widened at his words. Doctor Andrew's facial expression changed and his fists clenched in anger. From a young age, he has been known as an exceptional genius.He completed his studies years earlier than the usual age. He earned a ce

Doctor Andrew reached out and grabbed Maverick's arm, trying to pull him back. The latter's eyes flared with anger and he snapped, "If you don't shut up and let go of me, you will be the one responsible for the old man's death!"Maverick's cold gaze and stern voice stunned the doctor greatly that he subconsciously released his hold. He took a few steps backwards before he suddenly thought to himself, 'Humph! Why should I be scared of this nobody?'"Who do you think you are to give orders?! Don't—" He reached out to grab Maverick again when the latter shook him off a bit too hard that his butts landed on the tiled floor.Some doctors rushed to his aid and a senior doctor immediately yelled at Maverick, "How dare you push Doctor Andrew? Someone get the security and escort this mad man out!""Hey! Stop constituting nuisance and get out all of you! You can't help so let him!" Sebastian had had enough of the drama. He glared at the doctors and pointed at the door."Uh?" One of the doctors
The Godly Supreme 7: He Just Got Lucky
"You... Don't push your luck!" Doctor Andrew was aware of what Maverick was hinting at. But how could he, the most prominent, young physician in the entire Atlantis country bow to a nobody and apologize? The bastard only got lucky just now and managed to revive the old man. Humph! He shouldn't push his luck! "Doctor Andrew, you seem to be so skilled and talented at one thing: lies. You are so untrustworthy," Maverick sneered at him. "Liam, this is the divine doctor you found for my grandfather?" Sebastian turned around with a glare. "I really doubt your intentions towards my family." Liam gritted his teeth and wanted to speak but Doctor Andrew beat him to it. "Young master Andrew, don't just believe this man because he got lucky and—" SMACK! A thunderous slap rang out in the ward. Doctor Andrew clutched his cheek and looked at Liam in disbelief. "Just got lucky you say? With your ability, what guts do you have to address yourself as a divine doctor? If anything had happened t

"Director!" The doors of the office suddenly burst open, alarming the middle-aged man pacing to and fro."Tell me. Is old man Huxley dead?" The medical director asked with a dreadful expression. Without allowing the doctor who had just come in to speak, he sighed, "I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. It was no use inviting the divine doctor. Aiyo—""Sir, I have not come to tell you that," The doctor immediately interrupted him. "The old man is alive.""What?!" The medical director's head snapped up in astonishment. "What did you just say? The last test results showed he had less than fifteen hours to live.""The old man is alive, sir. It's a miracle... But the young master wants you to come and perform a routine check-up on him."The medical director's eyes widened. "What technique did the divine doctor use this time? He managed to save—""No...

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.

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?" Isabella snapped, trailing after him. "You’re just a useless son-in-law in this house.

3: Long Forgotten Memories
Early in the morning, in a VIP ward of the City's hospital, an unconscious figure on the bed suddenly opened his eyes with a loud cry, "Mother!""What's wrong? Does your head ache?" The nurse who was checking his vitals rushed to his side. She quickly reached out to check the newly wrapped gauze around his head.Maverick didn't respond to the nurse's question. Instead he closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. While unconscious, fragmented images and fleeting scenes flashed through his mind like an old, broken film reel. Familiar faces blurred with strangers, and memories long forgotten resurfaced. Some faces brought comfort, others dread.He remembered vividly the night his family was attacked when he was just seventeen. His father had been killed in the chaos, blood staining the floor as his mother desperately tried to flee with him. But they didn’t make it far. They were caught, and he was torn from her arms, their screams still echoing in his mind.His mother’s face remained hazy, y
