Kevin and Lionel exchanged a glance, their faces reflecting a mix of frustration and realization. Kevin’s brow furrowed in irritation as he spoke. “Fine,” he said through gritted teeth, his voice tight with restrained anger. “But we’re not giving up just yet.”

As they walked away from James, Kevin’s mind churned with a new plan. He leaned in close to Lionel, his voice barely more than a whisper. “We’ll request a search,” he said, his eyes narrowing with cunning. “If Calvin’s using some hidden device to make these diagnoses, we need to find it. It could be our ticket to discrediting him once and for all.”

Lionel’s eyes brightened with understanding. “That’s a good idea. We’ll have him searched before he can proceed with the treatment. If there’s anything hidden, we’ll uncover it.”

With their new strategy in mind, they returned to the boardroom as the break concluded. The tension was palpable as everyone settled back into their seats. Dr. Eleanor Mitchell, the head of the board, address

He closed his eyes briefly, as if drawing from some inner reservoir of strength. The bluish aura began to diminish, slowly retracting into Calvin’s hands. The final remnants of the energy seemed to seep into James’s skin, leaving behind a faint, glowing residue.As the last traces of the energy dissipated, Calvin stepped back, his hands lowering to his sides. The room was silent, save for the soft hum of the remaining energy in the air. James, now standing upright, looked bewildered bu

    James looked at Calvin, his eyes wide with a mixture of gratitude and amazement. His voice trembled slightly as he spoke, the weight of the moment settling over him. “Calvin, I don’t know how to thank you. This is... it’s incredible. I thought... I thought I was done for.”Calvin nodded, his expression calm yet warm, the satisfaction of his success subtly reflected in his eyes. “I’m glad to see you’re feeling better, James. This is just the beginning. With continued treatment and proper medical care, your condition can improve even more. You have a real chance at recovery.”James took a deep breath, still processing the reality of his improved condition. His hands, which had been trembling with fear earlier, were now steady. “You don’t understand, Calvin. This changes everything for me.

    As the meeting adjourned and the board members began to disperse, Calvin felt a wave of relief wash over him, his body finally relaxing after the intense scrutiny and pressure. He had won an important victory, but he knew the challenges ahead were still formidable. Lost in thought, he was startled when Alana suddenly rushed up to him, throwing her arms around him in a tight embrace.“Calvin, congratulations!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine excitement and triumph. “You did it! I knew you would.”Calvin hugged her back, albeit a bit stiffly, his movements hesitant. “Thanks, Alana,” he said, his voice tinged with a mix of gratitude and lingering unease. As she pulled back, he could see the pride and joy in her eyes, but his thoughts were elsewhere. He remembered their agreement—this meeting, and the success it brought, would not have been possible without her help.And now, with James’s condition improving, there was no longer an obstacle to his marriage with Alana.

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Something Terrible

    Calvin managed to return home without encountering any of Han Xin's spies. He speculated that perhaps the spies had given up and returned to their homeland. However, as soon as he stepped inside his house, Calvin's sense of relief was shattered. He was greeted by a shocking sight: Lizzie was lying unconscious in the living room, blood trickling from her nose."Lizzie!" Calvin's voice cracked as he rushed to her side. Panic surged through him, but his training and instincts took over. He gently lifted Lizzie's head and checked her pulse. It was faint but present. His eyes quickly scanned her for other signs, and he began diagnosing her condition.Lizzie’s skin was pale, and her breathing was shallow. Calvin noted that her pupils were unevenly dilated, and there was a slight tremor in her hands. The symptoms pointed to a possible acute intracranial hemorrhage—likely a ruptured blood vessel in the brain causing a sudden loss of consciousness and nosebleed. Calvin knew that he had to act

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   The Crack

    Calvin felt a cold chill run down his spine, a palpable sense of dread settling in his bones. Despite this, he kept his expression steady for Lizzie’s sake, maintaining a facade of calm. “We’ll figure this out,” he said firmly, his voice carrying a reassuring weight. “I’ll look into the pendant and see if I can uncover anything. For now, you need to rest and recover. We’ll face whatever comes together, okay?”Lizzie nodded, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. She wiped one away with the back of her hand, her voice small and trembling. “Okay. Just promise me you’ll be careful.”“I promise,” Calvin said, his voice softening but remaining resolute. He reached out and gently squeezed her hand, his eyes locked onto hers. “I’ll be careful, and I’ll protect you. Now, rest. I’ll be right here.”Lizzie gave a small nod, her eyelids heavy with exhaustion. As she closed her eyes, her body seemed to sink deeper into the couch, the day's strain evident on her pale face. Calvin stood up slowly,

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Not Satisfying Answer

The gentle yet distinct tone seemed to echo from somewhere deep within his memory, stirring a mixture of curiosity and excitement.Ding!The sound was quickly followed by a voice that seemed to emanate from within his own mind, clear and authoritative.

    The scene abruptly changed again, and Calvin was now in an opulent, grand hall filled with golden light. The room was filled with luxurious furniture and priceless artifacts, yet it felt cold and unwelcoming. The walls were lined with portraits of unfamiliar faces—each one staring at him with expressions of judgment and disdain. Calvin approached a grand mirror at the far end of the hall, its surface reflecting not his own image but a series of rapidly changing, disjointed scenes—visions of battles, medical operations, and fragmented memories of his past. The mirror seemed to pulse with an otherworldly energy, and Calvin felt compelled to touch it. As he reached out, the mirror’s surface rippled and transformed into a swirling vortex.In the vortex, Calvin saw flashes of strange symbols and arcane sigils—symbols that seemed to shift and change with every blink. A sense of urgency gripped him, and he tried to make sense of the symbols, but they eluded him, fading away before he could g

    As the door closed behind Beatrice, a heavy silence settled in the room. Alana turned to James, her eyes blazing with determination. “James, no matter what Mother says, no one can stop me from marrying Calvin. Not now, not ever.”James leaned back in his chair, exhaustion evident in his features. He let out a weary sigh, his voice tinged with resignation. “I don’t care anymore, Alana. If marrying Calvin is what you want, then so be it. My only priority now is my health. Calvin has to cure me, that’s all that matters.”Alana’s eyes narrowed, frustration bubbling to the surface. “You’re being selfish, James. After everything Calvin has done for you, the least you could do is support us. He saved your life, for God’s sake!”James rubbed his temples, feeling the weight of the conversation pressing down on him. “You can call it whatever you want, Alana. I’m not going to stand in your way anymore, but I’m also not going to cheer you on. My focus is on getting better, and that’s it.”Alana c

  • It Should’ve Exploded

    A subordinate knelt before President Lee, the supreme leader of Han Xin, who sat on his throne and looked down at the man with a haughty expression. “What news do you bring me this time?” he said mockingly.The atmosphere in the room was suffocating and tense, filled with the cruel aura that emanated from President Lee—even when the tyrant wasn’t committing any atrocities.“Forgive me, my lord. Calvin is still alive, and he survived the plane crash with ease,” the man explained timidly.President Lee’s face immediately hardened. His eyes darkened, and his fists clenched tightly. “You couldn’t even kill a cockroach?” he hissed sharply. “Are you sure you did your job properly?”The subordinate didn’t dare answer directly. He bowed even lower, almost as if trying to disappear into the floor. His knees trembled violently, and cold sweat began to drip from his temples. His breath was ragged, unable to bear the burning gaze of President Lee. His courage shrank to nothing—even though the Pre

  • 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

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
