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
Although Layla saw Hailey and Etchen's condition in the hospital room, she still could not believe that such a gentle and kind-hearted brother-in-law like hers could be capable of such actions.While checking on Liam, Layla wanted to ask him what had happened exactly. However, it seemed that Ronald did not give her the chance."Hurry up and follow me!" Ronald reprimanded Layla with a frown, then turned and left.Layla sighed and obediently followed Ronald.Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the next day arrived.Ronald, Sam, and Felix dressed up and headed to the provincial capital early in the morning. After dropping Layla off at school, the trio drove to the Hill family's annual gathering venue.The Spring Garden boasted beautiful scenery and a tranquil environment. It had the richest historical heritage in the province of Qyn. Various buildings in different styles were scattered throughout the garden, adding to its charm. After being developed for public enjoyment,
Though they had not seen each other for four years, the three members of the Lloyd family were very familiar with the figure ahead. Not to mention, that very figure ahead had injured both Hailey and Etchen!Sam frowned as he stared at the entrance of the Everluster Pavilion. "It's him, isn't it? Is that Liam Burrey?"Ronald scowled. "He's the ex-convict! That worthless scum just got out of prison after injuring Etchen and Hailey, and he still dares to come to the provincial capital!"With just one glance, they recognized the figure at the door as Liam."Dad, Uncle Ronald, wait here."A glint of fierceness flashed in Felix's eyes. He rolled up his sleeves, poised to charge forward. "Let me teach this scumbag who dared to harm the Lloyd family and still dares to show up here!"If Liam came to the Spring Garden, there was only one reason—to taunt the Lloyd family after harming them. He was seeking death!Ronald quickly stopped Felix. "Felix, don't act rashly! We're here to attend t
After hearing Agustine's response, Matthias was utterly speechless.This was simply too astonishing!The situation unfolding before him was nothing like what he initially anticipated.At first, Matthias intended to use himself as an example to persuade Agustine not to blindly trust traditional Hestian medicine. But he never expected that the White Glycoside Cream would actually work!Not only did it work—it worked so well that it shocked him!If Matthias were not absolutely certain he was wide awake, he might have thought he was dreaming.This was nothing short of a miracle!"Agustine..."A long silence followed.Finally, Matthias's voice broke the stillness. He stared blankly at Agustine, his voice dry and hoarse. "Are you sure this ointment... is actually traditional Hestian medicine?"It was more than just traditional Hestian medicine!The efficacy of the White Glycoside Cream had already surpassed Matthias's understanding of medicine itself."Mister Kien, that's why I s
"Mister Kien, please don't move."Seeing the scene before him, Agustine hurriedly grabbed the White Glycoside Cream and walked over.Then, with a look of heartfelt concern in his eyes, he gently applied the White Glycoside Cream to the scar on Matthias's lower abdomen.There was barely any of the ointment left!"You..." Matthias was speechless as he watched Agustine's behavior.Right now, Agustine seemed completely bewitched!"All done!"After applying the ointment, Agustine smiled with satisfaction."That's it?"Matthias's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Agustine."Agustine, can you wake up already? Is this the so-called miraculous herbal medicine you were raving about?"At first, Matthias had thought Agustine was under some kind of spell when he enthusiastically praised the White Glycoside Cream.He had imagined it would at least produce some noticeable reaction—like those street charlatans with their so-called miracle cures relying on tricks to deceive people.
Unfortunately, Agustine approached the wrong person!"I'm approving a one-month leave for you. Take a good rest."Matthias did not want to engage with Agustine any further. He lowered his head and began drafting a leave note for Agustine: "I hope after taking some time off, you'll be able to calm down!"Given Agustine's current state, he was no longer fit to continue working at the Hestia Drug Administration."Mister Kien, you..."Seeing this, urgency flashed across Agustine's face. He gritted his teeth and took out the few remaining samples of the White Glycoside Cream.Originally, Agustine planned to cover the samples with poplar leaves and conduct further testing! He was deeply curious about how this White Glycoside Cream could deliver such miraculous effects. But right now, there was no time to worry about that!"What you're holding—don't tell me it's that so-called miracle Hestian medicine?"Matthias frowned deeply. Agustine's current behavior was starting to make him ge
When Matthias was carefully reviewing the documents just now, he noticed that the 'White Glycoside Cream' Agustine mentioned was a type of traditional Hestian medicine.The more he realized this, the less he could understand it.Matthias knew Agustine well and was fully aware of how much Agustine despised traditional Hestian medicine from Hestia.In fact, it could be said that anyone working in Hestia's Drug Administration Department harbored some degree of prejudice against traditional Hestian medicine!After all, they dealt with related drugs daily and understood just how detestable many so-called traditional Hestian remedies were!This was precisely why Matthias always felt he and Agustine were like-minded, and they had a good personal relationship because of it. But Matthias never expected that this time, when Agustine returned, he would ask him to sign off on the approval for a traditional Hestian medicine!And this particular traditional medicine, which was only allowed to
"Alright." Lucy responded in a muffled voice, letting out a light sigh. "According to the flight tracker, Agustine has already arrived in Juneau. I wonder how things are going on his side now."Based on his reaction earlier, retrieving the market approval shouldn't be a problem, right?"Hearing this, Liam froze for a moment.While Liam and Lucy were filled with curiosity about what had transpired after Agustine's arrival in Juneau, Agustine was already at the Hestia Drug Administration Department.After organizing the necessary documents, he quickly grabbed them and rushed to the office of the department head.At the office door, Agustine knocked."Come in."Hearing the voice from inside, Agustine promptly pushed open the door and entered."Agustine, what brings you here?"Seeing it was Agustine who walked in, Matthias Kien, the head of the Hestia Drug Administration Department, displayed a trace of surprise.Even though his position was much higher and his age significantly
In the end, Serena left the South City Bank empty-handed.Gazing at the brilliant sunshine outside, she let out a soft sigh.At first, Serena thought the money might be impossible to recover, but she never expected that she couldn't even find a single clue related to it!She stood still for a moment, and after some hesitation, Serena pulled out her phone and dialed a number.At this point, there was only one last lead to uncover the whereabouts of the money.And that lead was Liam.Everything that had happened pointed to one thing—Liam might actually know something!Before long, the call connected."Hello..."After taking a moment to adjust her emotions, Serena began to speak. But before she could finish her sentence, Liam's voice cut her off."What is it?"His tone was no longer as courteous as it once had been.After everything that had transpired, Liam's attitude toward Serena had noticeably changed."I…" Serena froze for a moment.This version of Liam felt unfamiliar,
"I've already checked the bank's transaction records, but there's nothing useful," said Serena, shaking her head. She then asked, "Do you have any leads on Fahad from your bank? Do you know where he might have gone?"She had already investigated the transaction records thoroughly but had found no breakthroughs. To recover the defrauded funds, the key still lay in tracking down Fahad."Fahad Nagel?" Hearing the name, Jim let out a bitter smile. "It's quite a coincidence. Before we even discovered his fraudulent activities, we had already fired him.""You fired him before the fraud came to light?"Serena was momentarily stunned, her expression tinged with surprise. She had not expected that Fahad's dismissal was not related to his fraudulent actions but had happened beforehand!"That's right. When we fired him, the security at South City Bank even broke his leg!"As he mentioned this, a flash of indignation appeared on Jim's face. While speaking, he glanced at Serena subtly. "It wa
Meanwhile, Liam and Lucy were already on their way back to the Hill family residence."Grandmaster Burrey, I sincerely apologize. I didn't expect so many variables to arise," Lucy said apologetically as she looked at Liam. "I also didn't anticipate that the Pharmaceutical Testing Center would overlook the fact that the White Glycoside Cream requires a medicinal guide, ultimately deeming the medication ineffective…""It's no big deal," Liam shook his head, unfazed. "You've got enough on your plate as it is. Besides, I rushed the launch of White Glycoside Cream this time. A few minor hiccups are no problem.""However, once Agustine returns with the approval for the product's launch, there mustn't be any further issues," he added, turning to glance at Lucy."Grandmaster Burrey, I understand. Don't worry," Lucy nodded firmly."Oh, by the way, Grandmaster Burrey, since you're here in the provincial capital, let me brief you on the recent developments of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foun
"Let's wait for the approval number for the drug release to come back tomorrow."Immediately after, Liam turned his head to look at Lucy and said, "Once it's back, you can start arranging the launch and production of the White Glycoside Cream. We need to speed up the progress.""I understand!"Hearing this, Lucy quickly nodded. Then, she turned to Agustine and said, "To save time, I'll arrange a private jet. You can head back to Juneau shortly to handle the approval process.""Thank you!"Agustine nodded firmly. He carefully secured the prescription for the White Glycoside Cream on his person, holding the remaining sample in one hand and a poplar leaf in the other."I'll head to the airport now!"With that, Agustine turned and prepared to leave the pharmaceutical testing center. Time was of the essence for him; he couldn't afford to waste a single moment!Just as Agustine was about to leave, he seemed to suddenly remember something."Until now, I still don't know how to proper
