Calvin walked through the clinic, thanking each member of his staff for their hard work. "Make sure you all get enough rest," he reminded them. "Don't forget to stick to your shifts."

One of the nurses, Emily, looked at him with concern. "Dr. Hudson, we've all been rotating our shifts, but you've only taken two short breaks all day. Aren't you exhausted?"

Calvin smiled, though fatigue was evident in his eyes. "I am tired, but I'll be fine. Thank you for your concern. I'll see you all tomorrow."

As Calvin left the clinic, he got into his luxurious car, the interior a comforting blend of leather and modern technology. As he drove home, the memory of Lizzie from the previous night surfaced in his mind. Her body floating above her bed, bathed in a strange green light, had been alarming. Calvin knew he had to make sure she was truly okay.

He dialed Lizzie's number, holding the phone with one hand while steering with the other. The phone rang a few times before Lizzie picked up.

He sighed in relief and returned to his room, his mind racing with plans to find a way to temporarily take the pendant from Lizzie.Calvin lay awake for a while, thinking about the pendant and its potential dangers.

    Calvin nodded, though inside he was seething. "Of course. I’ll do whatever it takes to get this sorted out."As the health inspectors began their work, Calvin stepped aside, pulling out his phone to call Tina. "Tina, we have a situation. The Department of Health is here, and we need to comply with their inspection. Please tell all the patients that we are closed for today. Can you ensure all the staff are prepared and have all our documentation ready?"Tina's voice was steady. "Got it, Dr. Hudson. I'll handle everything on my end."Calvin hung up, taking a deep breath. He glanced at the crowd, still being held back by security. Among the faces, he spotted a man who seemed oddly familiar. It was Daniel, the man who had pretended to be a patient the previous day.

He approached Cynthia again. "Is there anythin

    Calvin's heart sank, a heavy weight settling in his chest, but he maintained his composure. "May I see the email?" he asked calmly, though his voice held a slight tremor. Cynthia handed him the tablet, her expression a mix of professionalism and sympathy. Calvin took it, his eyes scanning the official message. Each word seemed to blur into the next, but the gravity of the situation was unmistakable. Someone had acted swiftly and decisively to undermine his practice."There's got to be a mistake," Calvin said, handing the tablet back to Cynthia. "These licenses were all valid and properly obtained. There must be some misunderstanding." Cynthia nodded, though her demeanor remained stern. "I understand your frustration, Mr. Hudson. However according to this email, you need to close your clinic until you can regain the proper permissions. There’s nothing we can do about it right now."Calvin felt a surge of frustration but knew arguing wouldn't help. He took a deep breath, trying to stead

"It seems someone used your name irresponsibly."Calvin nodded, a mixture of relief and frustration washing over him. He glanced at Christina, who looked equally relieved but still shaken. "Did you find any other fingerprints?" Calvin asked, trying to maintain his composure.The officer shook his head. "Whoever did this was very careful. They likely used gloves. There's no traceable evidence on the package."Both Calvin and Christina sighed in unison, the tension of the situation palpable. The officer then turned to Christina, his eyes sympathetic. "Ms. Johnson, do you have any enemies? Or perhaps, Mr. Hudson, do you have any enemies who might target you through her?"Calvin's mind immediately went to Kevin Lang. "I have a personal conflict with Dr. Kevin Lang. However, I don’t know

We've successfully shut him down," he declared, his voice filled with smug satisfaction.Lionel nodded, a proud smile lighting up his face as he took another sip of his tea. "Indeed, Kevin. It was a brilliant plan. With my influence at the health department, they'll be too intimidated to grant Calvin his licenses again. We've ensured his downfall," Lionel said, his tone brimming wi

They wish to speak with Mr. Kevin Lang," the butler reported, his tone respectful but tinged with curiosity.Kevin's brow furrowed in surprise. "What do they want?" he asked, a hint of irritation creeping into his voice.The butler shook his head. "They didn't specify, sir. They only mentioned that they need to speak with you."Kevin exchanged a quick glance with Lionel, whose face had hardened with concern. "I'll meet them in the living room," Kevin said, standing up and brushing invisible dust from his suit.Lionel's voice followed him, firm and commanding. "Kevin, don’t tell me you have any issues with the police."

The last thing we need right now is to be tangled up with the police."Kevin nodded confidently, though the tension in his jaw betrayed a lingering worry. "This is a false accusation, Father. Rest assured, I have no connection to any of this. Someone is trying to divert our focus, but it won't work."Lionel gave a curt nod, his expression softening slightly as he placed a reassuring hand on Kevin's shoulder. "I believe you. Just ensure that nothing more comes of this. We can't afford any missteps."Kevin smiled, though it was more a determined grimace. "Don't worry, Father. I'll handle it."Lionel watched his son for a moment longer, then turned and walked away, his mind already shifting to the next part of their plan. Kevin stood there for a moment, taking a deep breath and steadying himself. He needed to stay focused.A

Inside, a group of officials from the health department awaited them, including Cynthia Dellaware. The atmosphere was tense and formal."Good morning, Mr. Hudson," Cynthia began, her tone professional but with a hint of regret. "We have reviewed your resubmitted application for the alternative medicine clinic. I'm afraid we have to inform you that your application has been denied again."Calvin's eyes widened in shock. He exchanged a quick glance with his lawyer before stepping forward. "But why?" he asked, unable to keep the frustration out of his voice.

    "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.

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.

  • You Will Never Have Me

    Calvin stepped out of Miranda’s house, relieved that one heavy task was finally done. The cool evening air brushed against his face as he walked toward his car. Today had been exhausting, and his mind began to shift toward his clinic—a place that had always been his refuge from life’s chaos. However, his steps halted when he heard a woman’s voice calling his name.“Calvin!”He turned around, his eyes widening at the sight of the person standing there. Alana. His ex-wife, a figure from the past he had worked so hard to leave behind. Reality struck him like a blow—he had completely forgotten about the agreement he had signed to marry her again. That agreement had been in exchange for the immense help Alana provided during a tough time, but now it felt like a weight lurking in the back of his mind.Before Calvin could say anything, Alana ran toward him. In a flash, she threw her arms around him, holding him tightly, leaving Calvin frozen in place.“Calvin,” she said with relief, her voic

Suddenly, the silence was interrupted by a soft chime.[Ding!]The familiar sound of the system’s notification brought him back to the present. A faint blue light flickered on the small device attached to his wrist.[New Notification,] the system intoned, its voice calm and measured, a stark contrast to Calvin’s restlessness.“What is it this time?” Calvin muttered under his breath, keeping one hand on the wheel while activating the holographic interface with a quick swipe.The system’s screen illuminated his face as it began its explanation.[Dr. Hudson,] it started, [your recent accomplishments have brought you closer to unlocking the final legacy of your family.

  • Returning

    When Calvin arrived home, the weight of the past days pressed heavily on his shoulders. He didn’t bother turning on the lights as he entered, letting the darkness wrap around him like a familiar cloak. The house was silent, almost eerily so, but it offered the solitude he craved.His feet carried him automatically to the backyard. The moon cast a soft glow over the small garden, illuminating the simple headstone that marked Lizzie’s resting place.Calvin approached the grave and knelt down, his fingers brushing against the cool stone. For a moment, he simply sat there, the night air still and heavy around him.“I did it, Liz,” he said softly, his voice cracking under the weight of his emotions. “It’s over. San Wang is defeated, and the war is finished. Barrion can finally rebuild.”He paused, staring at the ground as memories of Lizzie flooded his mind. Her laughter, her courage, the way she always seemed to know the right thing to say.“I hope you’re proud of me,” Calvin whispered, h

  • The Hero

    Calvin’s journey back to Nooria was uneventful, but his mind was anything but calm. The weight of his actions in Bacca lingered heavily in his chest. Despite his victory, he felt no triumph—only exhaustion and the nagging thought that the peace he had brokered might be temporary.When the plane touched down in Nooria, the first thing Calvin noticed was the unusual bustle of activity at the airport. As he descended from the aircraft, he was met with silence—a heavy, anticipatory silence that made him pause.A crowd had gathered, and Calvin froze as he realized their eyes were fixed on him. Faces reflected a range of emotions: awe, gratitude, and disbelief. Some whispered to one another, others simply stared. Then, slowly, one person began clapping.The solitary applause rippled through the crowd like a spark igniting dry kindling. Within moments, the entire gathering erupted into cheers and applause, the sound filling the air with a roar of gratitude and admiration.“Calvin Hudson!” so

  • The War is Over

    Calvin’s chest heaved as he faced San Wang once more, their weapons gleaming in the fading sunlight. The battlefield was eerily silent, save for the faint hum of San Wang’s blade and the rasp of Calvin’s labored breathing. The earlier clash had pushed both warriors to their limits, and the tension between them crackled like a storm on the brink of eruption.San Wang’s smirk returned as he lunged forward, his blade slicing through the air with deadly precision. Calvin parried, but the force of the attack sent him stumbling back. San Wang pressed his advantage, raining down a series of blows that Calvin barely managed to block. Each strike forced Calvin closer to the edge of the helicopter platform, where the abyss below waited hungrily.“You’ve fought valiantly, Guardian,” San Wang sneered, his blade locking against Calvin’s air-forged sword. “But your strength wanes. This ends now!”With a sudden twist, San Wang disarmed Calvin, sending his shimmering blade shattering into the ether.
