Once they were in the car, Lizzie sank back into the seat with a deep, grateful sigh. The softness of the leather against her back and the steady rumble of the engine beneath her were soothing contrasts to the chaos they had just left behind. The city lights outside flickered past in a mesmerizing blur, each one a small beacon of hope cutting through the encroaching darkness of their situation. Lizzie stared out the window, letting the familiar rhythm of the car’s movement calm her frayed nerves. The journey to the hospital was a crucial step towards safety, and she took solace in the thought that the bustling, always-active environment of Lang Hospital would offer a buffer against Han Xin’s men.

She glanced sideways at Calvin, whose face was illuminated by the soft glow of the dashboard lights. Their eyes met, and in that fleeting moment, they shared a profound, wordless exchange. The silent communication between them was a testament to their deep sibling bond. They didn’t need words

    The hospital lobby buzzed with activity, but for Lizzie, the crowd did little to ease the gnawing anxiety in her chest. She could feel it tightening like a coil, winding tighter with every passing minute. The harsh fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow over the room, and the faint scent of antiseptic lingered in the air. Every noise—every footstep, every voice—felt amplified, feeding her growing unease.Lizzie leaned closer to Calvin, her voice barely a whisper as she tried to keep her fear in check. "Cal, we can’t stay here too long. Han Xin’s men… they won’t just sit around waiting. They’re bound to have something planned."Calvin turned to look at his sister, his eyes meeting hers with a steady gaze. He could see the worry etched on her face, the way her brow furrowed and her lips pressed into a thin line. She was right. The longer they stayed in one place, the more exposed they were. The hospital might be bustling with people, but it wasn’t immune to the dangers lurking outside.

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Took Another Test

    Roland Price’s eyes darted back and forth across the test results, searching frantically for any sign of error, but the medical report was crystal clear—James Perry was indeed cancer-free. It was a conclusion that should have brought relief, but to Price, it was a bitter pill to swallow. His face tightened, brows knitting together in a frown, and his jaw clenched as he struggled to reconcile the reality before him.“This… this can’t be right,” Price muttered under his breath, his voice tinged with frustration and disbelief. His eyes, now sharp with accusation, shot up to meet Calvin’s calm and steady gaze. “There’s no way this is accurate. No one can cure cancer with punches—this has to be a mistake.”The tension in the room thickened as Price’s words hung in the air. Calvin remained composed, his expression unreadable as he silently observed Price’s internal battle. Lizzie stood close by, her eyes flickering between the two men, ready to step in if necessary.Before the situation cou

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Let’s Get This Done

    As they finally exited the imposing walls of Lang Hospital, a palpable tension lingered in the air. Calvin led the group, his eyes scanning the surroundings, ever vigilant for any sign of Han Xin’s men. Every step felt heavier, but at least they were leaving behind Kevin Lang’s territory, a place where any number of unexpected dangers could lurk.The car ride to the next hospital was filled with an uncomfortable silence, each passenger lost in their own thoughts. Calvin sat beside Lizzie, glancing over at her every so often. The worry on her face was unmistakable—her usually bright eyes now clouded with fear. The rhythmic hum of the car’s engine did little to calm her nerves. Although surrounded by officials who should provide a sense of security, Lizzie couldn’t shake the feeling of being trapped, like prey in the hunter's sights.Calvin reached over and gently squeezed her hand. "We’ll be okay," he whispered, his voice barely audible over the soft hum of the car. His tone was steady

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Do It Right!

    The tension in the room grew thicker as the advanced medical machines hummed softly, meticulously scanning every inch of James's body. The doctors worked with practiced precision, their faces serious and focused. They knew the gravity of the situation—not just for James, but for the reputations and lives involved in this high-stakes drama.Roland Price, standing at the edge of the examination room, couldn’t contain his nerves. His voice cut through the quiet hum of the machines as he addressed the medical team. "Make sure you’re using the most advanced equipment," he insisted, his tone sharp with barely veiled desperation. "Double-check everything. There’s no room for error."One of the senior doctors, a tall man with graying hair and an air of authority, looked up from his work, his expression calm but firm. "Mr. Price, rest assured, we’re conducting the most thorough examination possible. This facility is equipped with the latest technology. You’ll get your answers."Calvin observed

    As the minutes ticked by, the room grew increasingly tense. The medical team huddled around the monitors, studying the results with intense focus. Finally, the lead doctor turned to face James, his expression softening into a relieved smile. "Mr. Perry," he began, his voice calm but full of assurance, "the scans confirm it—there are no traces of cancer left in your body. You’re completely free of the disease."James blinked, almost in disbelief. The weight of those words slowly sank in, and a broad smile spread across his face. He had been through so much—fighting the illness, enduring the treatments, and now, finally, he was free. "I… I’m really cured?" he asked, his voice trembling with a mixture of joy and disbelief.The doctor nodded. "Yes, you’re cured. Congratulations, Mr. Perry."James let out a triumphant laugh, the sound echoing through the sterile hospital room. "I’m cured!" he repeated, turning to Calvin with gratitude shining in his eyes. "You did it, Calvin. You really di

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   There is Something

    “Maybe there is something you can do,” Calvin said.Calvin watched as Roland, looking utterly defeated, halted in his tracks. The man who once exuded confidence now appeared fragile, his hollow eyes reflecting total surrender. Slowly, Roland turned to face Calvin, his expression weary, as if he had lost everything. "What do you want, Hudson?" he asked, his voice full of exhaustion and despair.Calvin stepped closer, his expression inscrutable. In a situation like this, there was no room for doubt or weakness. "There’s one more thing you can do for me," Calvin said, his voice calm yet firm.Roland frowned, suspicion creeping into his eyes. Even in a weakened position, his survival instincts were still intact. "What kind of help are you talking about? What do you really want?" he asked, his tone tinged with disbelief.Calvin paused for a moment, carefully choosing his words. This wasn’t about exploiting someone’s vulnerability—it was about survival amidst the threats that continued to l

    Calvin was still processing his tense conversation with Roland when he noticed James approaching him. The air between them was thick with unresolved tension, but Calvin could sense that James wasn’t here to antagonize him—at least not overtly."Calvin," James began, his tone measured and controlled, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor. The usual edge in his voice was gone, replaced with something closer to acknowledgment, if not respect. "You’ve proven yourself. You cured me, something no one else could do. Because of that, I won’t interfere with your clinic. It’s safe from me... for now." He paused, his gaze hardening slightly. "But let’s be clear—if any other issues arise, I won’t be held responsible. This is purely business, nothing more."Calvin met James’s gaze with a knowing smirk. He wasn’t fooled by the veneer of civility. He knew James too well—this wasn’t an olive branch, just a reluctant concession. “Fair enough, James. I appreciate you not making things harder than they

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Didn’t Turn Back

    Lizzie stood a short distance away from Calvin and Alana, feeling the weight of the day's events pressing down on her. The hospital’s cold, sterile atmosphere only added to her exhaustion, and every fiber of her being longed for the warmth and safety of home. The tension between Calvin and Alana, though lessened, still lingered in the air, a subtle reminder of unresolved issues. Lizzie could feel it, but she was too drained to care. All she wanted was to escape the harsh fluorescent lights and the constant hum of medical equipment.She shifted her weight, her body sagging with fatigue, and in a voice that was almost a whisper, she said, "Cal... I'm really tired... Can we go home now?"Her words hung in the air for a moment, as if time had slowed down. Alana, standing close to Calvin, turned sharply toward Lizzie. A thin, almost forced smile curved on her lips, but her eyes revealed her impatience. "Lizzie," she said, her voice edged with a hint of irritation, "if you want to go home,

    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

  • 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

    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,"
