As the bodyguards received the text message, their once stoic expressions shifted. They exchanged brief glances before stepping aside, their firm stance dissolving instantly. Without a word, they allowed Alana through. Lizzie, standing nearby, noticed the abrupt change and narrowed her eyes in suspicion. Her arms were tightly crossed over her chest, a mix of annoyance and worry playing on her features as she watched Alana stride past the guards and straight toward Calvin’s room.

Alana’s initial frustration was palpable, her lips set in a thin line, and her movements brisk as she entered the room. Her earlier confrontation with the bodyguards had clearly irritated her, and she was still fuming from the altercation. But as soon as her eyes fell on Calvin, lying pale and weak on the bed, her entire demeanor shifted.

Her arrogance faltered. The confident air she had carried with her vanished in an instant, replaced by something far more vulnerable. Her breath caught in her throat, and for

    Alana crossed her arms, leaning back slightly, her expression a mix of frustration and cold calculation. Her lips curled into a thin, strained smile, but her eyes remained sharp and unyielding, revealing her true intent. "I’ll wait, Calvin," she began, her voice low, almost a whisper, but heavy with the weight of her unspoken threat. "But I can’t wait forever. You know our agreement is binding."Calvin could feel the tension in his chest tightening as her words hit him like a cold gust of wind. The brief moment of vulnerability and empathy he had seen in her earlier, when she first saw him lying weak and sick, was gone. She had returned to the Alana he knew all too well—the one who could wield her power over him with surgical precision.Alana paused, her eyes narrowing slightly, watching him with the intensity of a predator sizing up its prey. "If you don’t hold up your end..." she let her voice trail off, the unspoken consequences hanging in the air between them, before she continued

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   My Fiancé

    Alana didn’t waste a second, her voice slicing through the growing tension with the sharp precision of a well-honed blade. “Thank you for visiting my fiancé, Christina,” she said, the word fiancé rolling off her tongue with deliberate emphasis, each syllable an unmistakable stake in the ground. Her eyes flicked to Calvin briefly, then back to Christina, a subtle smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. The message was crystal clear: Calvin belonged to her, and she wanted Christina to understand that without question.Christina’s eyebrows lifted slightly in response, but she didn’t flinch. Instead, she met Alana’s pointed gaze with a calm, unbothered smile, her poise unshaken. She took her time, letting a brief silence stretch between them before responding. “Oh yes, the engagement,” she said, her voice cool and measured, with a hint of mockery hidden beneath the surface. “Remind me, wasn’t it due to some... persuasion?” She paused, her eyes narrowing slightly, letting her words sink i

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Someone Good

    After the door softly clicked shut behind Christina, the room was left in a strange, heavy silence, like the remnants of a storm finally settling. The air that had been charged with tension moments ago now felt oddly still. Calvin and Lizzie exchanged a glance, both of them feeling the weight of the moment. Then, as if on cue, they both let out a deep, shared sigh, as if they had been holding their breath for far too long.Lizzie leaned back against the wall, crossing her arms as she gazed at her brother. Her eyes were filled with a mix of concern and frustration, though a small smile tugged at her lips. "You really need to deal with this mess, Calvin," she said, shaking her head slightly. There was a teasing note in her voice, but beneath it, there was also a seriousness that couldn’t be ignored. "Those two women… they’re like forces of nature. Neither of them is going to let go of you without a fight."Calvin, still lying weakly on his hospital bed, gave a faint smile in response. H

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   It’s Here

    Lizzie’s eyes narrowed as she leaned forward, the weight of everything they had just discussed pressing down on her. “So, where exactly is it, Calvin?” she asked, her voice low but urgent. “Where is the Fountain of Health?”Calvin looked at his sister, his expression somber yet determined. “It’s here,” he said simply. “In this city.”Lizzie’s mouth fell open, shock and confusion etched across her features. “What?” she whispered, almost as if she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “You’re telling me that the Fountain of Health is here, in this city? How do you know?”Calvin took a deep breath, his eyes never leaving hers. “Think about it, Liz. Why did Mother bring us here in the first place? I can sense it now, after the dream!” He paused, letting his words sink in. “She knew something, Liz. She was hiding us, protecting us. And now, looking back, it all makes sense.”Lizzie shook her head slowly, trying to process everything. “But... I still don’t understand. How can you be sure t

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Recovery

    Calvin watched Lizzie carefully, noting the concern in her eyes. Despite the heavy fatigue weighing him down, he managed a small, reassuring smile. “Liz, I need some time alone,” he said gently. “I need to recharge, to get my strength back.”Lizzie hesitated, her eyes scanning his face as if searching for any signs of trouble. Finally, she nodded, though the worry in her expression didn’t fade. “Alright,” she agreed softly, her voice laced with reluctance. “But if you need anything—anything at all—just call me, okay?”Calvin nodded, his smile widening slightly. “I will, I promise. But… I’m probably going to be starving after this.”A hint of amusement flickered in Lizzie’s eyes. “Don’t worry, I’ve got the food situation under control,” she replied, her voice lighter now, the playful banter they often shared slipping back into place. “I’ll make sure you have enough to eat.”He chuckled, the sound low and tired but genuine. “Thanks, Liz. I knew I could count on you.”With one last linge

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Precious or Very Dangerous

    Calvin stepped out of his room, each step feeling strange yet filled with determination. Even though it had only been three days, it felt like a lifetime since he had last felt the hard, cold floor beneath his feet. The real world seemed almost alien now, different from the dream world that had ensnared him. The surroundings seemed sharper and more vivid, as if every detail was heightened after everything he had been through.He took a deep breath as he reached the door, bracing himself before opening it. The air outside felt fresher, almost as if each molecule was infused with new life. He knew there were many problems waiting for him now, issues that couldn’t be solved simply by sleeping or relying on the system. The people of Han Xin were after him, and not without reason. As the only one who might know the location of the Fountain of Health, Calvin realized he was the key to something much bigger.In his dream, when he had almost been pulled into the fountain, he had felt an immen

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Take The First Step

    Calvin ate voraciously, his movements quick and steady as he shoveled food into his mouth, barely taking the time to chew before swallowing. He seemed to be trying to fill a void that had been empty for far too long, his body craving sustenance after three days of near starvation. Lizzie watched with a mixture of amusement and concern, her eyes flickering over the emptying plates in front of him.“Calvin, slow down,” she said softly, her voice carrying both affection and worry. “You’re going to choke if you keep eating like that.”Calvin glanced up briefly, his mouth still full, and gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, I won’t choke,” he mumbled around a mouthful of food. “I’m fine, Lizzie. Just… really hungry.”Lizzie sighed, shaking her head as she watched him devour everything in sight. She had made enough food to last him a couple of days, but it was disappearing rapidly. He moved from one dish to another with a relentless focus, like a man possessed. Despite her initial amu

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Pairs

    The night sky hung heavy with clouds, concealing the moon and casting the city in shadows. The dim streetlights flickered sporadically, adding an eerie ambiance to the quiet neighborhood. Calvin took a deep breath as he stood by the back entrance of the safe house, feeling the cool air on his skin. He glanced around, making sure everyone was in position.“All set?” he whispered into the small earpiece hidden beneath his hair.“Ready when you are,” came the low, calm voice of one of his bodyguards. “We’ll leave in pairs, like we discussed.”“Good. Stick to the plan, and stay alert. We can’t afford any mistakes tonight,” Calvin replied, his voice steady despite the tension thrumming through his veins.He watched as the bodyguards began to move, each duo leaving the house in a staggered pattern, blending seamlessly into the sparse crowd that occupied the dimly lit streets. They wore ordinary clothes, jackets pulled tight against the chill, their faces obscured by caps and hoods. They loo

  • Rebirth of Bacca

    Destroyed buildings from the war greeted Calvin at every step as he walked through the city of Bacca. Debris was scattered everywhere. Barrion—his homeland—was now free from the tyrannical rule of Han Xin... but the remnants of destruction were overwhelming.Calvin's steps halted at a vast field, once known as the city center. Around him, nothing remained but rubble and charred pillars. His eyes swept over the scene, his expression difficult to read."I'll start by rebuilding the houses and structures in this area first," Calvin said."Please do, Sir," replied the President, who stood not far from him, nodding respectfully and giving Calvin the space to do as he wished.Without a word, Calvin stepped forward. He knelt down, pressing his palm against the ground. Instantly, the earth trembled, compacted itself, and began to rise, forming solid buildings with supernatural precision. Wooden elements emerged from the soil, weaving into walls, rooftops, and sturdy pillars, creating rows of

  • The Rise of Barrion's Guardian

    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
