Calvin’s gaze was intense, his dark eyes locking onto Alana’s with a steely resolve. He stood tall, his posture rigid, as if bracing himself for the inevitable storm. His voice, low and measured, cut through the tension that hung thick in the air between them. “You need to stop with this jealousy, Alana,” he said, each word deliberately chosen, leaving no room for misunderstanding. “You have to accept the reality that the only reason I’m considering remarrying you is because of the agreement. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t even think about coming back to you.”

Alana’s face flushed with anger, a deep crimson spreading across her cheeks. Her heart pounded in her chest, each beat echoing the fury rising within her. She could feel the sting of tears at the corners of her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. Not in front of him. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides, nails digging into her palms as she fought to maintain her composure. “How can you be so cruel, Calvin?” she spa

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Stop Asking

    Calvin glanced at his watch, the ticking of the second hand oddly loud in the otherwise quiet room. It was well past midnight, and the day’s events had taken a toll on him. The argument with Alana had drained him emotionally, leaving him feeling hollow and exhausted. The situation outside the hotel only added to his weariness—Han Xin’s men were still out there, prowling the streets with an air of menace, their intentions veiled in shadow. Calvin didn’t know exactly what they were after, but he knew enough to understand that stepping outside now could be a fatal mistake.With a heavy, resigned sigh, Calvin made the decision that they would stay put for the night. The last thing he needed was to expose Alana, and himself, to whatever dangers awaited them beyond the hotel’s doors. He turned to her, his voice tinged with exhaustion, his shoulders slumping slightly as if bearing an invisible weight. “We’ll stay here,” he said, trying to mask his weariness with a tone of authority. “It’s to

    Calvin lay on the sofa, his body rigid, his eyes squeezed shut as if that alone could ward off the storm raging inside him. Sleep had teased him, pulling him into its embrace only to abandon him moments later. Now, he was left staring into the suffocating darkness of the hotel room, the weight of everything pressing down on him like a leaden blanket.He shifted, trying to find a more comfortable position, but the sofa’s lumpy cushions offered no solace. A sigh escaped his lips, the sound barely audible over the hum of the air conditioner. What am I doing here? he wondered, the thought slipping unbidden into his mind.His thoughts spiraled, each one sharper than the last. The clinic, the place where he’d poured all his dreams and hopes, still sat unopened. It felt like a betrayal to his own ambitions, like watching a plant wither before it ever had the chance to bloom. “I promised them,” he whispered to the darkness, guilt clawing at his insides. “I promised them stability, a job, and

    As the first light of dawn crept through the curtains, Calvin was already awake, his mind racing with a renewed sense of urgency. The events of the previous night had left him drained, both physically and emotionally, yet he couldn’t afford to linger in the hotel any longer. Alana still lay asleep on the bed, her form peaceful and undisturbed by the tension that gripped him. Calvin spared her one last glance before silently slipping out of the room, careful not to wake her.The hotel hallways were quiet, almost eerily so, as Calvin made his way to the exit. His footsteps were light, his senses sharp, as he scanned his surroundings. The threat of Han Xin’s men lingered in his mind, a shadow that followed him, making every movement feel like a gamble. Are they still out there? he wondered, his heart pounding with every step. He kept his head down, moving with purpose, hoping that if anyone was watching, they would dismiss him as just another traveler.Once outside, the cool morning air

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   The Nightmare

    Calvin’s heart pounded in his chest, its sound echoing in his ears as he stood rooted to the spot, his eyes fixed on Lizzie’s small, fragile form. The room had returned to its usual calm, but the air felt heavy with a strange energy, as if the unsettling events from moments ago still lingered, unseen but palpable. The memory of Lizzie’s glowing eyes and the eerie words she had spoken haunted him, replaying over and over in his mind. He tried to steady his breathing, but the adrenaline rushing through his veins refused to let him find peace.Suddenly, Lizzie jolted awake, her body shaking as she gasped for air, her small hands clutching at the sheets. The sight of her in such distress shattered Calvin’s paralysis, and he rushed to her side, dropping to his knees by the bed. He placed a hand gently on her shoulder, his voice filled with concern as he tried to bring her back to reality.“Lizzie, are you okay?” he asked, his tone soft but urgent. His eyes searched her face, desperate to f

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Imagination

    Lizzie sat on the edge of her bed, her fingers gripping the pendant around her neck as though it might hold all the answers she desperately needed. The soft morning light filtering through the curtains cast a gentle warmth across the room, but it did little to ease the tension that clung to the air like a thick fog. Lizzie’s eyes, usually bright and full of life, were shadowed with unease as she looked up at Calvin, who stood by the door, lost in his own thoughts.“Calvin,” she began, her voice barely above a whisper, tinged with doubt and uncertainty. “This pendant… it’s given prophetic messages before. Always prophetic, but… what’s different this time?”Calvin’s gaze flickered toward her, then quickly darted away as he blinked rapidly, his mind racing for answers he couldn’t find. He let out a long, tired sigh, rubbing the back of his neck. “I don’t know, Lizzie,” he admitted, his voice heavy with frustration. He paced the room slowly, his footsteps soft against the carpet, but each

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   It’s Too Simple

    Lizzie and Calvin sat across from each other in the dimly lit living room, surrounded by a chaotic mess of their parents' old belongings. Boxes, scattered papers, worn photographs, and mysterious objects from their past lay strewn about, creating an atmosphere thick with frustration and confusion. They had been at it for hours, combing through everything, yet they were no closer to understanding the cryptic pieces of their family’s history. The weight of their parents' secrets pressed down on them, making the air feel heavy with unresolved mysteries.Lizzie sighed, flipping through her mother’s old journal, her eyes scanning the faded ink on the yellowing pages. “I’ve been through this a hundred times,” she muttered, her voice tinged with exhaustion. “But none of it makes sense. It’s just… memories. Nothing about the pendant, nothing about the amulet. It’s like they were hiding everything from us.”Calvin glanced up from the small fragment of the amulet he held in his hands, his brow

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Opening The Clinic

    Calvin’s eyes darted between the old map in his hands and the bright screen of his phone. The ancient parchment was worn, its edges frayed with time, while the city map on his phone was crisp and modern. He traced the lines carefully, following every twist and turn, hoping for some revelation. His finger hovered over the symbols, trying to decode their meaning, but they remained elusive, like a puzzle that refused to be solved. The symbols mocked him with their cryptic nature, and the more he stared, the more they seemed to blur into a meaningless mess of ink.A heavy sigh escaped his lips as he leaned back in the chair, feeling the weight of everything pressing down on him. He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to drown out the stress and exhaustion that had built up over the last few weeks. The constant tension, the sleepless nights—it was all starting to take its toll. The headache that had been a dull throb earlier was now a sharp, persistent pain, pounding in rhythm with his ra

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Not Anymore

    The clinic was eerily quiet when Calvin stepped through the front doors. The familiar hum of activity, patients coming and going, the sound of medical equipment in use—it was all absent. Instead, there was only silence, and the lingering scent of stale air. Calvin stood still for a moment, taking it all in. The clinic had been his life’s work, his passion. Seeing it so lifeless now filled him with a mix of emotions—relief that it would soon be operational again, and a deep sadness for everything that had been lost during its closure.After a few minutes, the sound of approaching footsteps caught his attention. The cleaning crew had arrived, five of them in total, carrying their equipment and supplies. Calvin greeted them at the door, giving them a quick tour of the clinic and explaining what needed to be done.“This place has been closed for months,” Calvin said, leading them through the hallways. “I want everything spotless. Every corner, every room, every surface needs to be cleaned

  • 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

  • Empty and Hollow

    As Calvin navigated the quiet streets, the stillness of the city seemed to echo his own sense of exhaustion. His hands gripped the steering wheel loosely, his mind drifting between thoughts of Lizzie and the uncertain path ahead. Suddenly, the silence was interrupted by a soft chime.[Ding!]The familiar sound of the system’s notification brought him back to the present. A faint blue light flickered on the small device attached to his wrist.[New Notification,] the system intoned, its voice calm and measured, a stark contrast to Calvin’s restlessness.“What is it this time?” Calvin muttered under his breath, keeping one hand on the wheel while activating the holographic interface with a quick swipe.The system’s screen illuminated his face as it began its explanation.[Dr. Hudson,] it started, [your recent accomplishments have brought you closer to unlocking the final legacy of your family. Only a few more points are required to access it fully.]Calvin’s brows furrowed. “Inheritance?

  • Returning

    When Calvin arrived home, the weight of the past days pressed heavily on his shoulders. He didn’t bother turning on the lights as he entered, letting the darkness wrap around him like a familiar cloak. The house was silent, almost eerily so, but it offered the solitude he craved.His feet carried him automatically to the backyard. The moon cast a soft glow over the small garden, illuminating the simple headstone that marked Lizzie’s resting place.Calvin approached the grave and knelt down, his fingers brushing against the cool stone. For a moment, he simply sat there, the night air still and heavy around him.“I did it, Liz,” he said softly, his voice cracking under the weight of his emotions. “It’s over. San Wang is defeated, and the war is finished. Barrion can finally rebuild.”He paused, staring at the ground as memories of Lizzie flooded his mind. Her laughter, her courage, the way she always seemed to know the right thing to say.“I hope you’re proud of me,” Calvin whispered, h

  • The Hero

    Calvin’s journey back to Nooria was uneventful, but his mind was anything but calm. The weight of his actions in Bacca lingered heavily in his chest. Despite his victory, he felt no triumph—only exhaustion and the nagging thought that the peace he had brokered might be temporary.When the plane touched down in Nooria, the first thing Calvin noticed was the unusual bustle of activity at the airport. As he descended from the aircraft, he was met with silence—a heavy, anticipatory silence that made him pause.A crowd had gathered, and Calvin froze as he realized their eyes were fixed on him. Faces reflected a range of emotions: awe, gratitude, and disbelief. Some whispered to one another, others simply stared. Then, slowly, one person began clapping.The solitary applause rippled through the crowd like a spark igniting dry kindling. Within moments, the entire gathering erupted into cheers and applause, the sound filling the air with a roar of gratitude and admiration.“Calvin Hudson!” so

  • The War is Over

    Calvin’s chest heaved as he faced San Wang once more, their weapons gleaming in the fading sunlight. The battlefield was eerily silent, save for the faint hum of San Wang’s blade and the rasp of Calvin’s labored breathing. The earlier clash had pushed both warriors to their limits, and the tension between them crackled like a storm on the brink of eruption.San Wang’s smirk returned as he lunged forward, his blade slicing through the air with deadly precision. Calvin parried, but the force of the attack sent him stumbling back. San Wang pressed his advantage, raining down a series of blows that Calvin barely managed to block. Each strike forced Calvin closer to the edge of the helicopter platform, where the abyss below waited hungrily.“You’ve fought valiantly, Guardian,” San Wang sneered, his blade locking against Calvin’s air-forged sword. “But your strength wanes. This ends now!”With a sudden twist, San Wang disarmed Calvin, sending his shimmering blade shattering into the ether.

  • The Battle Through The Sky

    The moment San Wang’s mocking words faded into the air, Calvin’s fury exploded into action. With a burst of telekinetic energy, he propelled himself into the sky, soaring toward the massive helicopter where the self-proclaimed king of Han Xin stood. The wind howled around him as he ascended, his figure a blur of raw power and determination.“Stop him!” San Wang barked, his voice sharp as steel.Elite soldiers poured out of the helicopter, their movements precise and disciplined. Each was clad in advanced combat armor, bristling with cutting-edge weaponry designed to neutralize powerful foes. But Calvin was no ordinary foe.The first wave of soldiers descended on Calvin mid-air, unleashing energy blasts from their gauntlets. Calvin raised his hand, the air around him thickening into a shield that absorbed the attacks. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the shield outward, a concussive wave that knocked the soldiers off their trajectory, their bodies spiraling toward the ground.Another

  • Wrath Unleashed

    The air in Bacca seemed to hold its breath as the operatives formed a semicircle around Calvin, their weapons gleaming under the pale morning light. Dust swirled in lazy spirals around their boots, stirred by the slowing rotors of the helicopter that had just landed. Every soldier’s gaze was fixed on Calvin, but there was an edge of hesitation—none of them had ever faced an enemy like him.From the helicopter emerged a man dressed in a dark, impeccably tailored uniform. His steps were measured, calculated, exuding an air of authority that made the surrounding soldiers snap to attention. The man—Commander Yuan—wore a faint smirk as if he believed the battle was already won.“Guardian Calvin Hudson,” Yuan announced, his voice echoing through the desolate streets. “It’s an honor to finally meet you. Though I must admit, I didn’t expect you to come here willingly.”Calvin said nothing, his dark eyes scanning the operatives with measured precision. He noticed how their fingers twitched on

  • Arrival in Bacca

    The sun had yet to rise when Calvin Hudson stepped onto the cracked pavement of Bacca. The air was heavy with the scent of decay and charred remnants of what was once a bustling, prosperous city. His footsteps echoed in the desolate streets, the sound amplified by the eerie silence of the ruins. Bacca, a city once celebrated for its strength and innovation, now lay in ruins—a mere shadow of its former self. Skyscrapers stood like jagged tombstones, their glass facades shattered, and the streets were littered with debris, a haunting testament to the destruction wrought by time and war.Calvin's gaze swept over the devastation, his heart heavy. The memories of the city's past vibrancy were fresh in his mind, a stark contrast to its current state. He hadn't come to mourn, though. He was here for answers—answers that only Bacca might hold about the Fountain of Health and the mysterious blue gemstones tied to its power.As he moved deeper into the city, Calvin remained oblivious to the sil

  • This Ends Here

    Calvin turned back to the old man, intending to ask, "Who are you, really?" But the words caught in his throat when he realized the wheelchair was empty.His eyes widened, and he quickly scanned the area. “Where did he go?” Calvin muttered under his breath. The space around him was quiet, filled only with the murmurs of volunteers and the soft groans of patients in the makeshift medical camp.He stepped forward, his gaze darting between the rows of cots and supply tents. “Excuse me,” he called out to a nurse passing by, her arms full of medical supplies.The young woman turned, tilting her head in curiosity. “Yes, Doctor? How can I help?”Calvin pointed to where the old man had been sitting. “Did you see the man in the wheelchair? The older man—he was sitting right there with me a moment ago.”The nurse frowned, her brow knitting in confusion. She glanced at the spot Calvin indicated, then back at him. “I’m sorry, Doctor, but… I didn’t see anyone. You’ve been sitting alone since I pas
