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 receiving affirmation from Liam, the security guard's body visibly trembled."Grandmaster Burrey, please wait!" he said with sincere trepidation, displaying utmost respect by bowing repeatedly as he spoke.Once he finished addressing Liam, he hastily picked up the walkie-talkie. Liam was momentarily puzzled, unsure of what was happening.When the security guard lifted the walkie-talkie, the three members of the Lloyd family could not help but sneer when they saw Liam still standing at the entrance.Ronald mocked, "I bet being in prison made this fool lose his mind! He's simply brainless! Didn't you see security taking out the walkie-talkie? He's still so stubborn. Does he think the Hill family's security guards are just for show?"Sam sneered, "If he had any brains, he would've come out of prison and buttered us up nicely and served us well. Who knows, we might even reward him with a meal. A normal person wouldn't dare lay a hand on Hailey and them, but it's fine this way to

    Charles could not just stand by.However, Liam had not continued speaking yet.The moment Godfrey heard Charles’s words, his eyes widened abruptly, and an exaggerated grin appeared on his face."Liam?"Godfrey extended a finger, pointing straight at Liam, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he asked, "You wouldn’t happen to be that Liam, famed in South City, would you?"It was clear he had heard of Liam’s exploits."I don’t know anything about being famed in South City."Liam looked at Godfrey calmly and said, "I am Liam Burrey.""Hahaha!"Hearing Liam’s response, Godfrey burst into uncontrollable laughter, clutching his stomach. His laughter was saturated with ridicule. "I can’t take it! You’re killing me!"I thought the Hensworth family found someone reliable to back them up, but it turns out it’s just a useless piece of trash!"And you dare spout nonsense about breaking my legs?"Shaking his head, his face was full of disdain. "Now it’s clear—you people have lost your mind

    "Liam…"Seeing the scene before her, Valerie trembled.When she first heard Godfrey’s merciless words, her heart burned with grief and indignation. Yet, Valerie also understood that in the face of this situation, she did not have any viable solutions.The moment she realized Godfrey was from Union Finance, Valerie knew the Hensworth Group was nothing in comparison.What’s more, the Hensworth Group was currently on the brink of bankruptcy and had to rely on Godfrey for help!She never imagined Liam would step up at such a moment.After all, she had only asked Liam to pretend to be her boyfriend; there was no real relationship between them.And Union Finance wasn’t just powerful. Its background was incredibly mysterious.There were long-standing rumors that Union Finance in Qyn Province had connections to Juneau.Otherwise, the Nosh family could not have dominated the vast financial market and remained unshaken for so many years.Even if Liam might be capable of resolving this,

    "I…"Hearing this, Charles was momentarily stunned.But in the end, he shook his head and said, "Mister Nosh, if Union Finance truly can't approve a loan for the Hensworth Group, then so be it."We'll figure out another way…"Charles's voice was low and heavy. At first, he genuinely believed Godfrey wanted to be with Valerie. But now it was clear Godfrey had no such intentions—he only wanted to toy with Valerie. How could Charles possibly agree to this?At the same time, his heart was filled with regret. He had almost become the one to push his daughter into a pit of fire!"You'll figure out another way?"Godfrey's expression darkened. He glared at Charles coldly and sneered. "Ten billion in loans, just to have Valerie play with me for a while! I really didn't know that any wh*re on the market could be this expensive!""If you don't agree, I'd like to see which other financial institution in Qyn Province would dare lend to you without Union Finance's approval!"The entire orde

    "What’s wrong with you?"Hearing this, Godfrey furrowed his brows and said in a dissatisfied tone, "How long has it been? How could you not handle such a simple matter?""You still want that loan from the Hensworth Group approved, don’t you?"He immediately reprimanded Charles."Whether or not I’m with you is my business, it has nothing to do with my father!"Upon hearing this, Valerie immediately understood the implication behind Godfrey's words. Although she had just been angry with Charles, she could not allow Godfrey to speak to her father like that."Then what exactly are you thinking now?"Hearing Valerie's words, Godfrey turned his head, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light as he looked at her. "The other day, I asked you to go out for drinks. Why didn’t you go?"The reason Godfrey had come in and started pressuring Charles was that he sensed that Valerie seemed uninterested in him.However, he had not expected Valerie to suddenly speak up at this moment."I did

    "Dad, Liam really does have the ability to help our Hensworth Group…"However, hearing Liam’s words, a hint of urgency flashed across Valerie’s face. She quickly spoke, as though she wanted to persuade him of something.Even though, up until now, Valerie did not know the full extent of Liam’s influence, after the last class reunion, she was very certain—Liam helping the Hensworth Group would definitely not be a problem!"Valerie! You and Liam, both of you get out of here!"Before Valerie could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Charles. His face darkened as he pointed toward the nearby door and barked harshly."Come back when you’ve thought things through!"The Hensworth Group was already on the brink of a crisis. Yet Valerie was still stirring up trouble. Right now, Charles did not even want to see her!"Dad…"Seeing this, Valerie opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say more.And just then—Bang!A loud noise rang out. The villa door of Valerie’s home was violently k

    "I…"Hearing Charles’s words, Sebastian froze. His once-straight back slowly hunched over.Charles was not wrong.If the Lloyd Group were dealing with some minor trouble, maybe he could help. But if the crisis was so severe that marrying off Valerie was the only solution, there was nothing Sebastian could do.After all, he had stepped away from the Lloyd Group’s management and handed it over to Charles many years ago.Sebastian had long since lost much of his influence.Now, he was just an old man who spent his days watering flowers and pulling weeds.At that moment, a wave of frustration washed over him.As for the truth behind Charles’s words, he did not ask much. Sebastian knew his son well. If the situation were not dire, Charles wouldn’t be saying such things.Just then, Liam’s voice rang out, slow and steady."How serious could the Lloyd Group’s crisis be for you to be in such a rush to marry off Valerie?"He narrowed his eyes slightly, fixing his gaze on Charles."Yo

    The young man standing before them, tall and handsome, could he really be the person described in those rumors?"Dad! Mom! You just don’t understand!"Valerie's delicate face was filled with urgency as she looked at the scene before her. "Liam really isn’t like the rumors say.""I honestly think that being with him is an honor for our Hensworth family. Please, you have to trust me!" she pleaded desperately."Grandpa just had a chat with Liam earlier. Why don’t you ask him? Doesn’t he also think Liam is great? He’s truly amazing. Everything I know about him barely scratches the surface!"As she spoke, Valerie turned her gaze to Sebastian, seeking his support.What she wanted to convey to Charles and Janell was not just about seeking their approval for her to be with Liam.At this point, Valerie only wanted to clear Liam’s name!"Sigh..."Hearing her words, Sebastian let out a deep sigh.He raised his head to look at Charles, his tone softening slightly.

    Hearing Valerie's voice, Liam could not help but turn his head, looking at Valerie with surprise in his eyes. Although he knew that her current actions were merely an excuse to avoid marrying that Mister Nosh, her performance truly startled him. If it were not for the prior agreement between him and Valerie, he would have almost believed what she was saying was true. Valerie's acting skills were indeed exceptional.As for the Hensworth family's prejudices, Liam did not care. He was well aware that, thanks to the propaganda from the Lloyd family, his reputation in South City was hardly good. However, none of this could affect him. A dragon soaring high in the sky would never be concerned about the buzzing of flies. But it seemed that the rumors from the Lloyd family were causing some trouble for Valerie. Liam had actually thought about this initially. However, when he first agreed to meet Valerie's parents, he genuinely believed that he just needed to show up and everything w

    He immediately turned his head to look at Sebastian and said, "At your age, you usually have the best perspective. What happened this time? Why do you trust someone you just met so much?"That's because you didn't see the performance of this kid just now!"Sebastian was very dissatisfied with Charles's words. He patted his waist and said, "If it weren't for this kid just now, I wouldn't be able to stand up until now! He wants to teach me a set of boxing techniques that can heal my old man's back injury. Can you do that?""This…"Hearing Sebastian's words, Charles was taken aback. He really did not know that so much had happened just now. Charles was not a foolish person stuck in his ways. Seeing Sebastian's attitude, he could still determine that the young man in front of him had some ability.However, even so, Charles's thoughts did not change."What's your name?" Charles turned his head to look at Liam and asked. This was the first time he had inquired about Liam's name since e
