The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson

The Necklace

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.
