Lizzie struggled to carry Calvin through the dense forest, each step a battle against her own fatigue and the thick underbrush that clawed at her legs. The night seemed endless, the air heavy with the scent of damp earth and the distant sounds of nocturnal creatures. Her breaths came in ragged gasps as she pushed forward, Calvin's weight pressing down on her. Finally, the dense trees began to thin, and the cold, hard surface of the highway emerged before them.

The road was eerily silent, bathed in the dim light of the moon that barely penetrated the thick clouds overhead. The stretch of asphalt seemed to go on forever in both directions, swallowed by the darkness. Lizzie's legs nearly buckled beneath her as she lowered Calvin to the ground, her hands trembling with exhaustion.

She knelt beside him, her voice soft but urgent. "Come on, Calvin," she whispered, brushing a strand of hair from her face as she gazed at his pale features. "You need to recharge your energy now. We have to kee

    In the dimly lit backseat of the taxi, Calvin leaned closer to Lizzie, his voice barely above a whisper. The night’s events weighed heavily on his mind, and the tension in his voice was unmistakable. "Lizzie," he began, his gaze locked on her, "how did you manage to find me back there? It felt like you came out of nowhere."Lizzie let out a tired sigh, her body sinking further into the worn seat cushions. The adrenaline that had fueled her earlier was now fading, leaving behind a deep exhaustion. She rubbed her temples, trying to find the right words. "It's a long story, Calvin," she replied, her voice soft but laced with fatigue. Her eyes flickered with a mix of relief and worry as she looked at her brother. "But what I found out... it’s not good. Not good at all." Her voice trembled slightly, the gravity of her discovery settling between them like a heavy fog.Calvin’s brow furrowed, and his heart skipped a beat. He could see the fear in Lizzie’s eyes, and it unsettled him even more

    They climbed out of the taxi, each movement deliberate and cautious, their senses heightened to the point where even the softest breeze seemed to carry a hidden threat. Calvin's eyes darted around, scanning the shadowed outlines of the trees, the empty street, and the silent windows of their house. The stillness was almost suffocating. Every shadow seemed to move, every rustle of leaves could have been something more sinister."Stay sharp," Calvin muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible. Lizzie nodded, her face pale but resolute as they approached the front door. The house loomed before them, its darkened windows staring back like empty eyes, offering no reassurance. There were no lights, no movement—just an eerie quiet that made Calvin’s pulse quicken.His heart pounded in his chest as he fumbled with the keys, the cold metal slipping between his fingers. Fatigue weighed heavily on his limbs, making every small action feel like an ordeal. "Come on, come on," he whispered

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Stay With Me

    As Calvin and Lizzie hurried away from the house, the sharp whizzing sound of a bullet suddenly shattered the night air. It zipped past them, dangerously close, the force of its passage rustling the leaves nearby. Lizzie’s heart pounded as she instinctively ducked and cried, "They’re here!"Calvin's adrenaline surged. He grabbed Lizzie’s hand with a firm grip, his mind racing as he pulled her toward the dense trees lining the edge of their neighborhood. "This way!" he urged, his voice tense but controlled. They sprinted into the foliage, their footsteps almost soundless on the soft earth, yet their breaths came in ragged gasps, heavy with fear and exhaustion.As they darted through the trees, Calvin’s senses heightened. Every rustle of leaves, and every creak of branches seemed to echo in his ears. His eyes darted from shadow to shadow, scanning for any sign of their pursuers. His hand twitched, ready to call upon his powers at the first hint of danger."Where are we going?" Lizzie pa

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Lizzie, Hold On!

    Lizzie’s foot snagged on something hard, and before she could catch herself, she tumbled forward. The ground rushed up to meet her, and she landed with a sharp thud, a cry of pain escaping her lips. A jagged stone had twisted her ankle, and agony shot up her leg, forcing her to clutch at the injured limb. The darkness around them seemed to close in, the distant city lights now feeling impossibly far away.“Calvin!” Lizzie gasped, her voice strained and filled with fear. She tried to push herself up, but her ankle buckled under her weight, sending fresh waves of pain coursing through her. Her breath came in shallow, panicked bursts as she realized she couldn’t stand on her own.Calvin heard her cry and immediately skidded to a halt, his heart lurching in his chest. He spun around, eyes widening as he saw Lizzie crumpled on the ground. “Lizzie!” he called out, fear and concern lacing his voice. Without a second thought, he dashed back to her side, dropping to his knees beside her.“Lizz

    Lizzie, still leaning heavily on Calvin, glanced back over her shoulder, her voice trembling as she asked, "Calvin, do you think they’re still following us?"Calvin, his breath still ragged from the effort of using his powers, scanned the crowd around them. The bustling city streets were a far cry from the ominous silence of the forest, but his nerves were still on edge. His eyes darted from face to face, searching for any sign of their pursuers.“I don’t know,” Calvin admitted, his voice low and tense. “They might be blending in, waiting for the right moment. We can’t let our guard down.”Lizzie bit her lip, the fear in her chest tightening. “What do we do now?” she whispered, her voice barely audible over the noise of the city. She could still feel the ghostly presence of their pursuers, even though they were out of sight.Calvin tightened his grip on her, his mind racing. “We need to get off the streets. Find somewhere to hide, at least for a little while. Somewhere crowded, where

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   I Have An Idea!

    Lizzie walked closely beside Calvin, her heart pounding with every step. Her eyes flickered nervously from one person to the next, scanning the faces in the crowd as if any one of them could be a threat. The city’s nightlife buzzed around them—bright neon lights reflecting off the wet pavement, groups of friends laughing and chatting, couples strolling arm in arm. It all seemed so normal, so oblivious to the danger that Calvin and Lizzie were wrapped in. The contrast was jarring, and it made Lizzie’s unease grow stronger.She couldn’t shake the feeling that eyes were following them, that somewhere in the mass of people, their pursuers were lurking, waiting for the right moment to strike. Her hand brushed against Calvin’s arm, seeking comfort in his presence."Calvin," Lizzie whispered, her voice barely audible over the hum of the city. She leaned closer to him, her breath warm against his ear. "Do you think we’re safe now? Are we finally out of their reach?"Calvin’s gaze swept over t

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   They Followed Us

    Calvin's eyes darted across the street, scanning the busy road for a taxi. The bustling nightlife around them offered some cover, but every second they spent out in the open felt like an eternity. His heart raced, pounding in his chest as he spotted a taxi cruising slowly down the road. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, raising his arm to flag it down.The taxi pulled up to the curb, its brakes squealing slightly as it came to a stop. Calvin hurriedly opened the door, gesturing for Lizzie to get in first. “Come on, Lizzie. Quick,” he urged, his voice low but urgent.Lizzie slid into the back seat, her hands trembling as she clutched the edge of the seat. Calvin followed right behind, slamming the door shut with a little too much force. He leaned forward toward the driver, his voice tense but controlled. “Take us to 1129 Crescent Street. It’s a clinic. And please, drive fast.”The taxi driver, a middle-aged man with graying hair and tired eyes, glanced at them through the rearvie

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Stay Here

    As the taxi pulled up to the clinic, the headlights washed over the building’s modest facade, casting long shadows across the sidewalk. The clinic stood in a quiet part of town, its large windows darkened, and the sign above the entrance barely visible in the dim light. Calvin quickly paid the driver and helped Lizzie out of the taxi. She winced slightly as she put weight on her still-sore ankle, but Calvin’s earlier healing had done its job—she could walk, albeit carefully.The night air was cool, and the silence of the deserted street pressed in around them, amplifying their every movement. Calvin scanned the area one last time before guiding Lizzie to the clinic’s front door. His fingers fumbled slightly as he unlocked it, his nerves still on edge from the chase. Once inside, he closed the door behind them and quickly turned the lock, the soft click of the mechanism sounding unnaturally loud in the stillness.Lizzie looked around the darkened clinic, her breath coming out in shallo

    The plane began to shake more violently. Emergency alarms wailed incessantly, making the atmosphere even more tense. Passengers—including two government representatives from Barrion—screamed, some cried, others clung to their seatbelts as if they could save them from death.Meanwhile, Calvin remained calmly seated, though his body shook along with the turbulence. His eyes focused on the window, then on a flight attendant who ran past the cabin aisle in panic.“The cabin's losing pressure! Navigation system failure!” came the pilot’s voice from the cockpit.Calvin slowly stood, walking toward the front, keeping his balance with effort.“Open the door,” he ordered sharply upon reaching the cockpit.“We’re trying!” The co-pilot looked pale. “The main engine is completely dead, we—”“If we panic, we die. Stick to the plan. You head toward the nearest airport for an emergency landing. I’ll help as much as I can—just focus on landing the plane safely.” Calvin stared at the wildly blinking s

  • The Price of Pride

    Calvin’s name suddenly exploded across various social media platforms. A clip of him calmly but devastatingly shutting down the shareholders' arguments during yesterday’s meeting went viral and trended within hours. What impressed the public the most was how Calvin managed to leave Kevin Lang completely speechless after enduring a series of insults. People began praising Calvin even more as a medical god with the heart of an angel.Meanwhile, far from the media spotlight, Kevin was sitting in a treatment room at Lang Hospital. His hands trembled as a nurse finished reattaching his severed pinky. The pain from Calvin’s brutal and unexpected act of cutting off his finger was unbearable—but the most excruciating pain wasn’t in his finger. It was in his pride. Kevin’s ego was shattered by the fact that he had to go to Calvin and beg him to return the severed piece.“This is all that bastard Calvin’s fault, Dad!” Kevin growled, his voice shaking with emotion. “He dared to humiliate me—me,

  • Use The Card!

    Laughter echoed throughout the meeting room. All eyes were fixed on Calvin with judgmental and mocking gazes.“This is the first time I’ve seen a genius doctor turn out to be a mental patient. How could Miss Alana bring someone in the middle of a hallucination phase?” they scolded.“I’m sure that’s just a card he picked up on the street. Shouldn’t you return it to its owner? You won’t be able to use it anyway!” mocked another as they burst into laughter.They brutally trampled on Calvin’s dignity, treating him like a filthy sewer rat that deserved to be a laughingstock.“Hahaha!” Calvin suddenly let out a dry laugh, echoing their cheerful cackles and instantly silencing them in confusion. “You’re laughing at me, but are you sure your money is clean? This card is mine, and the money in it is mine. I use it with peace of mind because it’s clean. But I doubt any of you feel as calm as I do,” Calvin said, throwing their mockery back at them.“No matter how much money is in your fake card,

  • 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

    “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

    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,"
