“What happened to you?” The General asked as he leaned closer to his wife, who was coughing out blood. The blood wasn't ordinary blood. It was dark in color.“I don't know what's happening to me, Feng. I feel like something is burning inside of me,” she said and Adrian breathed out in relief after hearing that statement. That was what he needed to hear since he wasn't aware whether the cure worked well because it didn't work out as it was supposed to. The meridian and acupoint were supposed to push out dark blood from her veins but it happened in another way. He was worried if something had gone wrong but he didn't know that she was coughing the poison inside of her until he moved closer and stared at her. “Congratulations. Your wife is healed,” he said and the General turned to him with an angry look on his face. “What do you mean by that, huh?”“My wife is coughing out blood and you have the guts to congratulate me. Why are you congratulating me? Because she's going to die?”“I
The next day, he woke up as the ray of the sun pierced into his eyes. He yawned and shut his eyes open then stood up from the floor where he spread his mattress on. He picked up the mattress, dusted it, and pushed it inside his traveling bag. Although it was a pity that he had to sleep in an uncompleted building, he knew he didn't have a chance. And it was better than going back to that god-damned house of his wife. He bit on his lips and clenched his fist with an angry look on his face as the memory of what happened between his wife and Brian came rushing to his head. As much as he didn't want to remember, the memory was still fresh. He snapped out of his thoughts, reached out to his crutches, held it firmly, and stood up from the floor then picked up his bag from the floor. Of course, he was supposed to collect money from those people considering how rich they were but he doesn't work that way. He earned the trust of his clients first especially those who looked down on him b
Adrian looked up and stared at his wife with a cold look on his face. He glared at her as she walked majestically toward him with a cocky smile on her face. She was proud and elegant. “You can have your seat,” he said in a cold tone and her manager, Mr. Donald, stood up from the chair. “Welcome ma'am,” he greeted her and bowed his head in respect. “Can you excuse us? I want to talk to my soon-to-be ex-wife,” he said in a cold tone and Donald arched his eyebrows. Sarah stared at her husband with a surprised look on her face. She was expecting Smith to be on his all four begging her to accept him back to his life but here he was acting like he didn't care about her. She believed he was acting that way so she would believe that he'd gotten over her. There was nothing like that.“Huh?” Donald asked with a surprised look on his face. “I'm sure you heard me. Or are you deaf?” He asked in a calm tone and Donald grunted. “He can't leave this place without my permission. He's my manager
Just as he was about to leave the restaurant, he remembered that he was going to leave his ex-wife, Sarah, who seemed to be the most confused person on earth at that moment. He turned and stared at her with a cold gaze on his face. “I'm sorry that I'm leaving you so soon but it seems my ride is here and I can't afford to waste my time on a piece of trash like you. Can I?” He asked and turned to the guards, who understood the assignment. “Of course, you can't, Sir,” she said and moved closer to him with an angry look on her face. She raised her hand to slap him but the guards surrounded him with a fierce look on their faces. “If I were you, I would drop my hand and leave in shame.”“How dare you raise my hand before our master?” One of the guards asked in a cold tone and she arched her eyebrows. “Master?” She asked with a confused look. “Why are you surprised? Don't you know?” He asked, playing along. The bodyguard was taking the play further than he thought and he enjoyed it. “
“Welcome, Adrian,” the General welcomed him warmly and he cocked his eyebrows. “Huh?” Adrian looked up with a surprised look on his face. He wasn't expecting the man to utter such a statement considering how their last encounter was. The man was cold and indifferent to him because of his wife. He doubted him and even threatened to kill him if anything happened to his beloved wife. “What's the problem?” The General asked with confusion and he shook his head negatively. “Good afternoon, General. Hope you aren't angry I came late,” he said in a polite tone. “Why should I be? I am not. Stop being polite,” the man said and he smirked discreetly. It seemed the man was seeing some improvement in the condition of his wife hence why he was happy. “May I know the reason why you called a convoy to look for me after sending me out of your house?” Adrian asked and the General shook his head. “You should forget about the past and move on with the present. I was only concerned about the wel
“Good. I love your action, Sir,” Adrian commented and the man scoffed. “Just mention it and stop wasting my time. You don't know how precious my wife is to me,” he said as he brought out his phone. Adrian called out his account details to him and the man typed it on his phone.“Done,” the man said and returned the phone to his pocket. “I'll pay the rest once you're done treating my wife. You should know that if anything happens to my wife, I won't hesitate to cut your head off,” the man said warningly and he smiled. “I thought we were over this, General,” he said and shook his head with a sigh. “Wow. That's fast,” Adrian said as his phone binged with an alert of 5 million dollars. He breathed out in relief and a bright smile broke out on his face. For the first time, he received a credit alert of more than a million dollars. Who could have believed he would receive such a hefty amount of money after his wife cheated on him and chased him out of the house?He was still going to
Matilda turned to Adrian with a bright smile beaming on her face. “Thank you, Sir,” she said respectfully and bowed her head slightly. “You don't need to be polite, ma'am. I'm his doing my work,” Adrian replied and she said. “I still have to thank you. I would probably be dead by now if you hadn't intervened and helped me. I owe you one,” she said and he smiled. “You don't owe me one, ma'am. Your husband has already paid for my job,” he said and she shrugged. “That's my husband's treat and not mine. And don't try to reject mine when I give it to you,” she said and he nodded his head. “Of course, I won't. Who am I to reject your offer?” He asked and bowed his head. “How are you, dear?” The General asked in a concerned tone as he pulled his wife into his arms. She smiled as she lay against his broad chest. She missed the scent and warmth of his arms. She was bedridden and couldn't remember all those things. She would have died and wouldn't have a chance to be in his arms again
Adrian stopped on his track and stared at her with a surprised and confused look on his face. Huh? He asked, unable to fathom why someone of her caliber would ask him out for dinner. “Yes, you heard me. I want you to eat dinner with us,” she said and he arched her eyebrows.He couldn't believe that the wife of the General could offer him dinner. But for what? Why would she do such a thing? Her husband had already paid for his service. Not only did she offer him lunch but she politely asked him not in a way he thought rich people do. It seemed he had a wrong idea of them. He thought all rich people were the same arrogant and proud individuals. It seems he has to change his perspective. “I’m sorry. I won't take that offer.”“I appreciate your help,” he said and bowed his head slightly then turned to the exit. “Will you really turn down my offer?” She asked in a calm tone and he sighed deeply then turned to her. “I don't know why you're doing this. I bet you're grateful that I sav

“How could you do such a thing?” Adrian began to blame him and Daniel didn't like it. “Fine. I shouldn't have done such a thing but I have no choice,” Daniel said and Smith stared at him with a confused look on his face. “What do you mean? You have always had a choice. You made it so what are you saying about it?” He asked with an angry look on his face. “You won't blame me. Not like it's my fault anyway.”“If you'd listened to me when I told you to stop giving free meditation, I wouldn't have done such a thing but you didn't listen instead you ignored me,” Daniel said and he shrugged. “How could you do such a thing because of that, huh? What if that man went overboard and burned down this place just like he'd threatened?” Adrian half-yelled and he shook his head with a sigh. “Fine. I shouldn't have done it. And I'm very sorry. Please forgive me,” he said and Adrian scoffed. “Get the hell out of my face,” he said in a cold tone and Daniel nodded his head. “You won't forgive me
“What are you talking about?” The man blinked twice and looked away. “I don't know unless you tell me the person who paid you to frame me,” Adrian said in a cold and firm tone. The man looked up and glanced at his face then looked away quickly. “How did this cripple doctor know too much?” He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer. He couldn't get the reason why Adrian was able to uncover his flaws within seconds just after touching his hand and checking his pulse. Adrian smirked discreetly when he noticed the look on the old man's face. He knew what the old man was hiding. What the man didn't know was that he wasn't only a local doctor but he was a smart one indeed. The man admitted to the claims that he changed the prescription but he didn't tell anyone who told him to change the prescription. The man does not know the medical field so he couldn't change the drugs anyhow. And besides, he was desperate. It could be whether he was convinced to change the prescription or som
“You'll burn down my burn for what? What have I done wrong? So it's my fault treating you,” Adrian said in a calm tone. He remained indifferent and unfazed. He didn't care. He was ready for whatever that was going to happen because he knew that the illness should have healed up by then. “Don't give us that crap. It seems you don't care about your life, huh?” one of those men asked with an angry look on his face. “I do but you have to give me a few details before you can conclude that I'm sent to him or whatever.”“Or is this how you're going to treat me even after treating you for free?” Adrian asked in an annoyed tone and they scoffed. “That's the main reason why I'm suspicious of you. Who else gives medicine for free in this recession, huh?” The man spoke up in a harsh tone and he took a deep breath. Adrian bit on his lower lips and clenched into his crutches then approached the man, who glared at him disdainfully. “What are you doing?” One of those men asked and surrounded th
The next day, he opened his eyes as his alarm blared out loudly. He groaned out with a frustrated look on his face and reached out to the alarm on the table then put it off. “Why do you have to disturb me, huh?” He asked and stood up from the bed. He yawned and rubbed his hand on his eyes. He reached out to the crutches on the floor and clenched them close to himself. “Ahh…” he grunted out in pain as he struggled to climb down from the bed with the crutches. He limped toward the nightstand where his phone was ringing. He reached out to it and picked it up from the nightstand. He rested his arm on crutches and swiped through the phone with his right hand. He arched his eyebrows with a confused look on his face as he stared at the caller ID, which turned out to be Chloe. Why is she talking to him? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. He took a deep breath and picked the call then placed the phone close to his ears. “Hello,” he spoke up in his cold tone. “Hello,
By the time Adrian arrived home, he was tired and his body was aching seriously. He took a deep breath as he stood before the door and glanced at it with uncertainty in his heart. He couldn't stop feeling bad for what he said to Mr. Daniel. Mr. Daniel looked hurt and heartbroken after he made such a statement. He wished he could reverse what he said but it was too late. The deed has already been done. He could only beg him and ask for his forgiveness to soothe his heart. I knocked at the door and the door creaked open, revealing Daniel who was in a singlet and a short. “Welcome,” he said casually and turned to the left. “Daniel,” he called him back but Daniel pretended as though he didn't hear him. “Please don't leave yet,” he said and Daniel stopped on his track then turned to him. “What's the problem?” Mr. Daniel asked with a cold look on his face and he hit on his lower lips, unaware of what to say or do. “About what I said to you earlier. I know I shouldn't have judged you
“It seems someone misses me,” he said as he approached them and they nodded their heads quickly. “Yes. We missed you, Mr. Adrian.”“Where have you been?”“Why didn't you open the shop? We have been worried whether something is wrong with you,” one of them said and he shrugged. “Worried about me or worried that I wouldn't be able to treat you if anything happens to me,” he demanded and they kept quiet. “It's still the same. Not like it's different,” one of the people, who were waiting for him, replied in a hoarse tone. He shook his head with a sigh and reached out for the key inside his pocket then insisted it inside the keyhole and opened the door.His patient pushed the door open because of his condition and they walked inside the shop. “Please treat me first. I came earlier,” one of them said and the other one disagreed. “That's not true. I came earlier than you but I went to do something so I returned to meet you,” he said. “Why did you leave if your health is important to y
“What if I told him that you're a local doctor? Aren't you?” Daniel asked in a cold tone and Adrian looked up with an angry and shocked expression on his face. “That's not possible. You didn't tell him, right?” Adrian asked in a concerned tone and Daniel scoffed. “What's with the look? I told him, "So what's the problem?” Daniel asked in a cold tone and he groaned out with a frustrated look on his face. “How could you tell him that I'm a local doctor? Can't you tell that he's someone that you shouldn't entrust my secret to and besides, he seems to be a powerful individual,” he said and Daniel shrugged. “I know and that's the reason why I told him the truth. I can't afford to offend someone like him. And besides, he paid me a lot of money,” Daniel said and rubbed his hand on his hair. “How could you tell him? You don't know the implication of what you've just done. I bet you don't know.”“How could you stoop so low and give me out to him because of your love of money? I know that
“What are they talking about?” Adrian asked himself with a confused look on his face as he glanced at Daniel and the same weird man he had spoken to earlier. He was worried. He knew the man was up to no good. Why did he go and meet his partner of all people? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. “Get inside. Let's go,” Chloe, who didn't notice what was going on, said as she held the knob of the door. “Adrian?” She called out to him when she noticed that he wasn't paying attention to her and he was staring at someone else. He heard her calling him but he was keen to know why the man that challenged him was speaking with Daniel, who was his partner. “What could he be thinking about? And what is he looking at?” she asked herself with a confused look on her face. She looked up and a soft gasp escaped from her lips as her gaze landed on Martin, who was discussing with Daniel. “What could he be telling him?” She muttered and Adrian turned to her when he heard her ques
