As Calvin helped Miranda and James into their car, he suddenly heard a soft "Ding!" followed by a voice in his mind: [User Calvin Hudson, you have successfully saved another patient. Mr. Dew's leg does not need to be amputated thanks to your treatment. You have earned one point, which you can redeem at any time for a monetary reward. The amount will be revealed upon redemption.]Calvin paused for a moment, slightly taken aback by the unexpected system message. This was not the first time he had heard the system’s voice, but it always came as a surprise. He processed the information quickly, then allowed a small smile to play across his lips. The system’s rewards were always a pleasant bonus to his work, but his real satisfaction came from helping people like James.Climbing into his car, Calvin took a deep breath, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. As he started the engine, he thought about the next steps. James was safe for now, but Calvin knew there would be more challenges ahead.
The weekend arrived with a crisp, clear morning. Calvin, still groggy from a late night of research and meditation, nearly forgot about his coffee date with Christina. He was lounging on the couch, flipping through a book, when Lizzie walked in, a playful smile on her face."Hey, Mr. Forgetful," Lizzie teased, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Don't you have somewhere to be?"Calvin looked up, confused for a moment, then realization dawned on him. "Oh no, the coffee with Christina! Thanks for the reminder, Lizzie!"He jumped up, quickly making his way to the bathroom. Lizzie's laughter followed him down the hallway. "Don't take too long, or you'll be late!" she called after him.Calvin took a quick shower, the warm water helping to wake him up fully. As he dressed, he thought about the upcoming meeting. Christina had seemed excited in her messages, and he wanted to make a good impression. He chose a casual yet smart outfit: a crisp white shirt, dark jeans, and his favorite leather j

"This is all because of Calvin Hudson!" he shouted, his voice echoing through the empty office.In his fury, Kevin almost didn't hear his phone ringing. He was about to smash it in his rage when he noticed the caller ID. It was his father, Lionel Lang. Kevin's stomach twisted with anxiety as he answered the call, his voice trembling. "Dad?""Kevin, what the hell is going on over there?" Lionel's voice was harsh and demanding, the kind of tone that always made Kevin feel like a child being scolded.Kevin stammered, trying to find the right words. "Dad, it's... it's complicated. There was a patient, Mr. Dew, and—""I don't want excuses, Kevin," Lionel interrupted, his tone icy. "I want answers. The hospital's reputation is on the line, and I've got investors breathing d

Calvin woke up in the morning, holding the family heirloom that he always wore around his neck. He smiled, reminiscing about how this heirloom had drastically changed his life. Perhaps this was why his parents had insisted that he keep it safe and never sell it, no matter how desperate they were for money. Now, Calvin understood its true value. It wasn't just a piece of jewelry; it was the legacy of his family, imbued with the power that had transformed his destiny.He carefully tucked the heirloom back under his shirt and got out of bed, ready to face the day. As he stepped into the hallway, the aroma of breakfast wafted through the air, and he made his way to the kitchen. Lizzie was already there, dressed in a beautiful floral dress. She looked different than usual, radiating a glow that caught Calvin's attention."Oh, it looks like my little sister has a date today," Calvin teased, a playful grin spreading across his face as he leaned against the kitchen doorframe.Lizzie's cheeks
Calvin arrived at the office building close to his residence. He liked the location and decided to take a walk around the area to get a better feel for it. As he strolled through the bustling streets, he found a marketing office and decided to go inside. He was eager to inquire about purchasing a small office/home office (SoHo) unit for the business he planned to start.Inside the marketing office, Calvin was greeted warmly by a sales representative, a young woman with a bright smile and an eager demeanor.

I'd like to see what options you have available."As the sales representative began to pull out a brochure, Calvin's gaze shifted across the room, landing on Nancy Johnson.

Meanwhile, back in the marketing office, Calvin was finalizing his decision on the unit he wanted. The sales representative, unaware of the machinations happening behind the scenes, was busy preparing the necessary paperwork. She handed him a pen and the initial documents to sign."This is a fantastic choice, Mr. Hudson," she said brightly, her eyes sparkling with the prospect of a successful sale. "You'll have a perfect blend of residential and commercial space, ideal for your new venture."Calvin smiled as he signed the documents, feeling a sense of optimism and excitement for the future. "I'm really looking forward to making this space my own," he said, his voice full of anticipation. "It’s the perfect location."As Calvin handed back the signed papers, he felt a sense of accomplishment. He couldn't wait to get started on his new business. Little did he know, James Perry was already plotting his next move, determined to sabotage Calvin's new venture before it could even begin.In h
Calvin walked quickly to his car, determination fueling his every step. Once inside, he pulled out his phone and dialed Caroline Turner, a trusted ally in the real estate world."Hey Caroline, it's Calvin," he greeted as she picked up."Calvin! Good to hear from you," Caroline responded warmly. "What can I do for you?""I need some information on a SoHo unit in a tower that turns out to be owned by James Perry. I want to know everything about it," Calvin explained, his voice steady and determined.Caroline paused for a moment, then replied, "I'll do some checking for you. Give me a few minutes."Calvin waited patiently, his mind racing with possibilities. After a short while, Caroline called back. "Calvin, I have some interesting news. The tower is actually up for sale. James Perry is looking to offload the property but hasn't found a buyer yet. I happen to be one of the agents handling the sale."Calvin's interest piqued. "What's the asking price?" he asked, his tone serious.Carolin
