Calvin and Lizzie finally arrived at the main camp. The atmosphere was charged with a mix of urgency and exhaustion as volunteers and aid workers moved swiftly to unload the patients and transfer them to more adequate treatment areas. Lindsay, with her dark brown hair tied back and her sharp eyes focused, immediately took charge, directing the flow of people and resources with practiced efficiency.

"Everyone, we need to get these patients to the medical tents immediately," Lindsay called out, her voice carrying over the noise of the camp. "Let's move quickly and carefully."

Calvin and Lizzie joined the other volunteers, helping to lift stretchers and support those who could walk. The sight of the severely wounded weighed heavily on Calvin's heart. The injuries ranged from shrapnel wounds to severe burns, each one a stark reminder of the brutal conflict between Han Xin and Barrion. The casualties of power struggles and territorial disputes lay before him, suffering and vulnerable.

    The next morning, the sun cast a soft, golden glow over the camp as Calvin and Lizzie resumed their work at the main treatment center. The air was filled with the sounds of hurried footsteps, hushed conversations, and the occasional cry of pain from a patient. Calvin moved with purpose, his hands deftly cleaning and dressing wounds, checking vitals, and offering reassuring words to those in distress. His skill and efficiency were apparent, and it didn't take long for Lindsay to take notice."You're really good at this," Lindsay remarked, her voice cutting through the ambient noise as she watched Calvin expertly tend to a deep laceration on a young man's arm. Her dark brown eyes, sharp and discerning, fixed on him with a mix of curiosity and admiration. "Are you a doctor?"Calvin hesitated, the question hanging in the air for a moment. He glanced at Lizzie, who was busy comforting a small child nearby, then shook his head. "No, I just know how to do this. I've had some training and exp

    As the convoy rumbled through the war-torn landscape of Barrion, Lizzie turned to Calvin, her eyes wide with fear. The moonlight flickered through the shattered windows of the truck, casting eerie shadows on her face. "Calvin, I'm really scared," she admitted, her voice trembling like a fragile whisper against the growl of the engine.Calvin squeezed her hand reassuringly, his grip warm and steady. "Don't be afraid, Lizzie," he said, his voice a steady anchor in the chaos around them. "We have to do this. It's for what we believe is right. We're going to find the answers we need," he said firmly, trying to instill confidence in her.Lizzie nodded, trying to draw strength from his words, but then shook her head slightly, her expression still troubled. "It's not just that," she whispered, glancing around to make sure no one else could hear. The shadows seemed to dance with her anxiety. "Since we've been back in Barrion, I can feel the power of my amulet growing stronger. I'm scared that

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   The Patrol

    As soon as Calvin and Lizzie stepped into their old house, the distant sound of footsteps and vehicles shattered the silence. It was a patrol of Han Xin soldiers. Calvin and Lizzie quickly ducked inside, their hearts pounding in unison. The familiar walls, now shrouded in dust and decay, offered a haunting sense of refuge. Unfortunately, one of the soldiers decided to check Calvin's old house. They couldn't afford to be caught.Calvin tensed up, his ears straining to pick up the rumbling engines and the clatter of boots drawing nearer. "That's a Han Xin patrol," he whispered, his eyes wide with controlled panic.Lizzie felt her blood run cold. "We have to hide," she said, her voice trembling but firm. They quickly scanned the room, searching for a hiding spot in the house they once knew so well.Calvin pulled Lizzie toward an old wardrobe in the corner of the room, its door half-broken and covered in thick dust. "Here," he said, opening the wardrobe door and helping Lizzie inside. The

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   The Pattern

    Calvin then asked Lizzie, "What exactly are we looking for here? What did you see in your vision?"Lizzie frowned, feeling the immense pressure from the amulet on her chest. "I feel like the amulet's power is about to explode. I have to use my power now, or we might never find the answer," she said, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and determination.Calvin nodded firmly, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I'll protect you, Lizzie. Do what you need to do," he said with conviction.Lizzie took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. She closed her eyes and focused her mind, summoning the energy within her. Almost immediately, her body began to emit a soft, green glow. The light grew brighter, but the sunlight filtering through the dusty windows of the house helped to obscure it from the outside.Calvin stood beside her, feeling a mix of awe and anxiety. "Lizzie, be careful," he whispered, his voice barely audible as his eyes darted around the room, constantly scanning t

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Smaller One

    When the lid opened, Calvin and Lizzie were shocked to find another, smaller chest inside, and it was locked. Lizzie floated back to the ground, the green light fading from her body until she was just Lizzie again."Is there no key?" Lizzie asked, her voice tinged with frustration and worry.Calvin began searching the room frantically, rifling through the old boxes and forgotten items. "There has to be a key somewhere," he muttered, his hands shaking slightly with urgency. He lifted up old books, peered behind dusty furniture, and searched every nook and cranny, but the key remained elusive.As he continued his search, a noise from outside reached their ears—a series of footsteps growing steadily closer. Calvin froze, his eyes widening in alarm. "Lizzie," he whispered, "I think those are Han Xin soldiers. They might have seen the light from your amulet and are coming back to check."Lizzie's face paled as she glanced around the room. "What do we do? We can't get caught here."Calvin t

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   The Drones

    Calvin and Lizzie moved cautiously through the rubble-strewn streets, each step taken with care to avoid making any noise that might attract attention. The two-hour window given by the convoy leader was rapidly dwindling, and they knew they had to hurry. Bacca, the capital of Barrion, was a strategic location and the Han Xin soldiers were bound to tighten their grip on the city, conducting daily sweeps to secure resources. Rumors of a hidden mine, the source of Barrion's wealth, made the city a constant target."We have to hurry, Lizzie," Calvin whispered urgently to his sister. "We can't be left behind by the convoy."Lizzie nodded, her eyes wide with determination and fear. They quickened their pace, the weight of the smaller chest they carried slowing them down only slightly. However, their progress came to a sudden halt when they spotted a patrol of Han Xin soldiers ahead. Without hesitation, they ducked into a nearly destroyed old house, pressing themselves against the crumbling

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Wait!

    Lindsay and the convoy group had gathered at the rendezvous point, anxiously watching the horizon. The air was thick with tension, and every minute felt like an eternity. They knew the risk of waiting too long in such a vulnerable spot.“Calvin and Lizzie aren’t back yet,” Lindsay muttered, her voice tinged with worry as she scanned the distance for any sign of her friends.One of the convoy members, a grizzled man named Marcus, shook his head. “We have to leave now, Lindsay. The drones are already in the air, and staying here puts us all at risk.”Lindsay bit her lip, torn between loyalty and practicality. “Just a few more minutes. They’ll make it,” she insisted, her eyes darting around nervously.Another member, a young woman named Elena, glanced nervously at the sky. “Lindsay, the drones are getting closer. We can’t afford to be here when they start their sweep.”Lindsay clenched her fists, her frustration growing. She couldn’t bear the thought of leaving Calvin and Lizzie behind,

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   The Chest

    Calvin hid the small chest beneath his coat, feeling its weight press against him as he rejoined the convoy. The group was busy gathering and sorting the supplies they had scavenged from Bacca: medicines, bandages, and a few cans of food. The air was thick with the tension of their recent narrow escape, and everyone worked quickly to prepare for their next move.Calvin and Lizzie exchanged worried glances. They had nearly caused the convoy to leave without them, and now they stood empty-handed amidst the others' successful scavenging efforts. Lindsay approached them, her expression stern but tempered with a hint of understanding.“You did well yesterday, Calvin,” Lindsay said, her voice firm. “That’s the only reason you’re getting a pass this time. But listen carefully—there won’t be a next time. If either of you are late again, you’ll be left behind.”Calvin nodded, swallowing hard. “We understand, Lindsay. We’re sorry for the delay. It won’t happen again.”Lizzie looked down, clutch

  • What Could You Do?

    "Perry Pharmacy did something incredibly foolish. After this disaster, what are you going to do to cover our massive losses? We won’t accept just an apology in a situation like this," said one of the shareholders, his voice laced with anger he tried to suppress, though the sarcasm in his tone was hard to miss.That night, the Perry family had gathered for an important meeting. All shareholders and members of the board of directors filled the meeting room seats, their faces gloomy and angry.The atmosphere in the room was unbearably tense, especially for the Perry family, who had now lost face."Can we start this meeting and hear how this madness happened?""The Perry family is completely incompetent at managing a simple business like this. You’ve destroyed our trust and our money. Utterly foolish!"All the fury was directed at the Perry family, prompting Beatrice, James, and Giana to immediately glare at Alana with sharp eyes."This is all Alana’s fault," James hissed. "She’s the one

  • Sell Your Body

    "You cancel the agreement and I will be willing to pay for your losses. I truly have no energy left to keep facing your insane obsession with me, Alana," Calvin said tiredly. "Besides, I never wanted this marriage in the first place."Alana was stunned to hear Calvin's words. She never expected a man like him to be so cruel to her."Don’t joke around, Calvin. How could you possibly afford to cover all my losses if you cancel our marriage agreement?" Alana asked in disbelief."So you still underestimate me even after everything that’s happened, Alana," Calvin sneered. "Is it because I’m poor that you’ve always treated me like dirt—even now? You’ve been so harsh because your obsession with me stems from a sense of superiority over a poor man like me.""That’s not what I meant, Calvin. You misunderstood," Alana said in a panic, trying to explain. "I never looked down on you, no matter your situation. I just want to marry you and leave all the problems in this city behind, that’s all. I c

  • I’ll Pay

    Alana fell silent, disappointed to hear her family so strongly opposed her decision to marry Calvin. She had hoped they would be happy for her and help make her dreams come true.“Aren’t you ashamed to marry a man who was once just your contract husband, sis?” Giana scolded, eyeing Alana skeptically. “Like James said, you're doing something pointless. Just give up. Your engagement was called off, and that alone humiliated not just you, but our whole family in front of all those important guests,” she added sharply.Alana remained silent, her fists clenched tightly, holding back her anger and sadness.“Sweetheart, you should go see Kevin instead of insisting on marrying Calvin again,” Beatrice said gently, her voice calm. “This isn't about the company, it's about you. Instead of forcing yourself to be Calvin’s bride, I want you to marry a man who truly loves you—and I see that in Kevin.”“She’s right. Go see Kevin and talk to him,” James added firmly.“You're unbelievable,” Alana whisp

  • The Obsession

    “Dr. Hudson, there’s a phone call from the city hospital under the name Maxwell Smith. They are requesting your presence,” said one of the administrative staff at Calvin’s clinic.Calvin, who was busy typing a prescription for a patient that he was about to send to the pharmacy, didn’t respond to the staff’s words at all.He appeared deeply focused on his computer, prompting the staff member to remain silent and wait patiently for the right time to speak again.“Dr. Hudson, you’ve received a phone call from the hospital. A patient named Maxwell Smith would like to see you,” the staff repeated.Calvin turned to look at her. “Alright, I’ll go to the hospital. Thank you for letting me know.”“In that case, I’ll go ahead and close the clinic so you can leave comfortably,” she responded cheerfully.She hurried back to her desk while Calvin began preparing to leave.As he stepped out of his office, Calvin first went to the pharmacy to check on the prescription.“Has the last patient receive

  • No Engagement

    "Well, Alana? Should I call them now?" Kevin threatened again."You win this time," Alana said coldly. Then she ended the call and returned the phone to her subordinate with trembling hands.Her heart pounded wildly. Alana repeatedly pounded her chest, trying to get rid of the pain and tightness in her heart, but it was useless—she felt no relief at all."I'll go back to see Calvin. Make sure Kevin doesn't do anything crazy," she instructed her subordinate, her voice choked with restrained tears.With unsteady steps, Alana returned to the ballroom. Her face was grim, and the happy smile that had once graced her lips vanished, replaced by a blank expression."I apologize to all the guests, especially to Calvin… because our engagement must be postponed," Alana announced unexpectedly.Calvin was quite surprised by this sudden decision. Although he actually felt relieved, when he saw the sadness in Alana’s teary eyes, he couldn’t help but feel a mix of pity and curiosity. However, he quic

  • A Diamond Ring and a Dangerous Choice

    The sweet melody of the violin played by the orchestra in the ballroom added a romantic touch to Alana and Calvin’s engagement ceremony."Smile, Calvin… Smile. You promised not to embarrass me at our happy event," Alana whispered with emphasis."Can we just skip to the main event and end this party as soon as possible?" Calvin asked, sounding uninterested."No, we can't. Whether you like it or not, you have to see this event through to the end, and you must always show a happy smile to the guests.""This is more troublesome than I imagined," Calvin muttered coldly before falling completely silent.Reluctantly, Calvin forced a sweet smile onto his face and went through with the engagement ceremony, though he was only doing it because he was a man of his word. He had made a promise, and he intended to keep it."Our engagement party tonight has to be memorable for all the important people I invited, Calvin. I want everyone to remember this day as a moment we experienced with happiness,"

  • The Arrival That Was Anticipated

    "Is there nothing we can do to oppose Alana's decision?" James asked his mother.Tonight was the night of the engagement party that Alana had arranged so lavishly, attended by esteemed guests from high society. The beauty of the decorations, along with Alana’s radiant smile as she busily welcomed her guests, added to the grandeur of the event. However, all the glitz and glamour did not ease her parents’ concerns."There is nothing we can do, James. The party has already begun, everything is already happening. Calvin’s heroic act has spread across the country and been reported everywhere, leaving the Perry family with no reason to oppose Alana and Calvin's remarriage," Beatrice replied.Alana's family attended the event despite their reluctance. Time and again, they let out heavy sighs, looking at their daughter with sadness, struggling to accept her reckless decision."It looks like you need to find a replacement fiancé so this grand party doesn’t go to waste," remarked Kevin Lang, the

  • The Engagement Invitation

    Calvin let out a heavy sigh, his gaze empty as he stared at his small clinic. The wind blew gently, as if urging him forward, encouraging him to step inside and resume what he had long abandoned."Alright, let’s do our best today," he whispered before stepping inside his clinic with determination.The staff, who had been waiting for him, immediately greeted Calvin with enthusiasm. A faint smile formed on his lips as he nodded slightly. "Return to your stations and open the clinic.""Yes!" they answered in unison, full of energy.Without hesitation, they scattered to their respective positions. As soon as the "open" sign was put up, a long line of patients quickly filled the reception area.The clinic was packed, overflowing with patients. The overwhelming number of visitors made the entire staff—and even Calvin himself—feel utterly exhausted."Please close patient registration for today. The clinic is too full," Calvin whispered tiredly to the receptionist."Understood, I will enforce

  • You Will Never Have Me

    Calvin stepped out of Miranda’s house, relieved that one heavy task was finally done. The cool evening air brushed against his face as he walked toward his car. Today had been exhausting, and his mind began to shift toward his clinic—a place that had always been his refuge from life’s chaos. However, his steps halted when he heard a woman’s voice calling his name.“Calvin!”He turned around, his eyes widening at the sight of the person standing there. Alana. His ex-wife, a figure from the past he had worked so hard to leave behind. Reality struck him like a blow—he had completely forgotten about the agreement he had signed to marry her again. That agreement had been in exchange for the immense help Alana provided during a tough time, but now it felt like a weight lurking in the back of his mind.Before Calvin could say anything, Alana ran toward him. In a flash, she threw her arms around him, holding him tightly, leaving Calvin frozen in place.“Calvin,” she said with relief, her voic
