"What...?" Jimmy froze, turning sharply to gaze at Liam. "What... What do you mean by that?"Not only Jimmy but even Lucy hurriedly looked at Liam."Grandmaster Burrey, can you save my grandfather?" She sounded surprised. "But didn't Mister Harker say that my grandfather's condition has exceeded the scope of what the current medical system can cure?"Liam shook his head lightly. "But I never said that.""A life is at stake. You better not speak recklessly!" Jimmy stared, wide-eyed, at Liam. "Since you've found the source of the poisoning in Mister Hill, you should be aware of Mister Hill's physical condition!"With such a dire physical condition, along with the complex symptoms and poisons in his body, how can you cure his illness?" Jimmy simply did not believe Liam!If it were not for Liam pinpointing the poison's source through pulse diagnosis, Jimmy might have started cursing by now!He claimed he could do something even the Gods could not? Was he just saying whatever came
Liam gazed at Julian lying on the bed in the silent hospital room, taking a deep breath. Liam gently reached out his hand. Suddenly, the Harvest Union needle pouch appeared in his grasp. And then, he deftly opened it.In the dimly lit room, the faint glow emanating from the Harvest Union golden needles added a mysterious aura.Liam delicately picked out the longest golden needle in the pouch. From the very beginning, Liam had not considered surgical treatment. He had his own healing methods.However, Jimmy was partially correct. The toxin was incredibly complex. Despite the toxin sac being located in Julian's shinbone, it had already spread throughout his body, continuously proliferating.However, Jimmy did not know that neither sending Julian to Asterion for treatment nor the method he had suggested to stabilize Julian's vital signs upon locating the toxin would be of any use.Julian's condition was far more critical than Jimmy had realized.The toxin within Julian's body did
Meanwhile, Lucy anxiously paced back and forth outside the ward, worry etched on her face."I wonder how my grandfather is doing…"Since the ward's door had closed, Lucy felt like each day dragged on endlessly. As for Jimmy, who should have returned to Asterion long ago, it was unclear whether he stayed there out of concern for Julian's possible accident or to assist. Perhaps he was waiting to reprimand Liam, or maybe he harbored some unrealistic hope.Regardless, Jimmy did not choose to leave. He stood in the corridor alongside her."Miss Hill, there's no need to be overly anxious," Jimmy comforted. "Being anxious won't help. All we can do now is wait patiently. At least there haven't been any emergencies in the ward."Jimmy paused and sighed. Then, he softly advised, "However, the head of the Hill family is unwell. Miss Hill, you should be prepared for the worst at any time."Jimmy did not believe Liam could positively impact Julian's condition. He would be thankful if Liam d
"Grandmaster Burrey!"Lucy immediately turned around upon hearing Liam's voice. Overwhelmed with excitement, she dashed into Liam's embrace. Her slender figure, clad in the tight dress, pressed tightly against him."Grandmaster Burrey, thank you so much! My grandfather is fine! He's alright!"Tears of joy streamed down Lucy's face. Although she was confident in Liam, in reality, Lucy's heart was filled with uncertainty after hearing the opinions of numerous doctors—including Jimmy's recommendation. Asking Liam to treat Julian was merely a last resort. Initially, she hoped it would be enough for Liam to temporarily alleviate Julian's condition.Lucy never imagined that Liam would actually be able to cure Julian.Liam lowered his head, a faint fragrance lingering around him. "It's nothing."He reached out and patted Lucy's shoulder calmly as he continued, "Don't let your emotions fluctuate too much.""I'm sorry, Grandmaster Burrey." Lucy seemed to realize her own indiscretion.
However, even though his heart remained full of astonishment, Jimmy's mind was full of curiosity.He slowly turned to look at Liam, swallowed a gulp of saliva, and asked in a hoarse voice, "May I ask how exactly did you do it?"The renowned doctor in Hestia was unconsciously respectful when speaking to Liam.Liam answered, "It was nothing more than completely removing the toxins from his body."Liam did not pay attention to Jimmy's previous doubts. Or rather, he simply did not care."Mister Hill's condition is extremely poor. A slight move could affect his whole body. How can you ensure that while removing the toxins from Mister Hill's body, there won't be a reaction due to the spread of toxins?"Jimmy did not realize that his attitude became even more respectful, his eyes fixed on Liam without blinking.He even regarded Liam as a teacher at that moment, respectfully seeking advice!Liam turned to look at Julian lying on the bed and said lightly, "It's not difficult. You just n
"Rest assured, Miss Hill, I will definitely cooperate with you!"Jimmy eagerly nodded, indicating that he would not disclose Julian's matters to anyone.Then, under the escort of the Hill family's servants, Jimmy prepared to return to Asterion. Before leaving, Jimmy stood beside Liam, wanting to say something but hesitating."Grandmaster Burrey, I hope to have the opportunity to see you again in the future!"In the end, Jimmy only said a few words. After slightly bowing to Liam as a sign of respect, he left the Golden Cross Hospital.A servant from the Hill family approached Lucy and asked softly, "Miss, since Mister Hill Senior's health is no longer a major concern, shall we continue to hold the Hill family's annual gathering?"Those who remained by Lucy's side in the hospital were all her trusted aides, so there was no need to worry about any information leaks. The Hill family's annual gathering, which occurred once every five years, was quite important to the Hill family."Th
"None."Liam shook his head. Having just been released from prison, he had nothing worthy of preparation.Lucy grinned and said, "Then, we can set off!" Despite her gentle appearance, her actions were decisive and swift like lightning. After persuading Liam to attend their Hill family's annual gathering—fearing he might regret it—she immediately arranged the subsequent itinerary.Everything was neatly packed in no time.Lucy gestured for Liam to leave with her as she watched Julian being carefully carried down the stairs. "Grandmaster Burrey, let's go. You can get some proper rest if we arrive in the provincial capital earlier."Liam nodded. "Let's go."Amidst the crowd, he left the hospital. After Liam and the others departed, the ninth-floor intensive care unit was unsealed.At the same time, members of the Lloyd family were gathered around the bed in the regular ward, expressing their resentment toward Liam incessantly."Why is there so much noise downstairs?"Serena seem
Upon hearing the news from Serena, the members of the Lloyd family could not help but smile. Ronald was especially excited."It doesn't matter if it's sudden or not. It's not something you should worry about. The Hill family has their reasons for hosting such a grand event. We just need to prepare well and see if we can further strengthen our relationship with them through this annual gathering!"With that ex-convict Liam out of the picture, our family can now conduct ourselves with dignity and integrity in anything we do. Serena, feel free to communicate with the Hill family," urged Ronald, gesturing for Serena to leave. "Alright, you don't need to continue taking care of your mother. Go back and prepare quickly. Since the Hill family is in the provincial capital, take Layla with you tomorrow. You don't need to worry about anything here.""Yes! Serena, hurry back and prepare!""The Hill family has always viewed the Lloyd family with special regard. When you attend their annual
