"I told you..."Hailey snorted coldly, as if she wanted to say something more."Alright, enough talking."Ronald waved his hand, cutting off Hailey's words. With a hint of disdain, he glanced at Serena before turning around."As long as we find the reason, it's good. I'm afraid that Liam has something to do with the Hill family. What's fortunate now is that the waste doesn't have that capability at all!"That ex-convict Liam, sooner or later, will be discovered by the Hill family. When that time comes, the misunderstanding between us and the Hill family can be resolved. However, during this period, it's likely that the Lloyd Group will suffer quite a blow..."Ronald let out a heavy sigh. Obviously, even a temporary setback would be a blow that the Lloyd Group could not easily withstand.However, faced with all this, they had no way out.The more he thought about it, the more furious Ronald felt toward Liam. He clenched his fists tightly and exclaimed, "That b*stard!"However,
"Dad? Uncle Travis? Why are you both here?"There was a flicker of surprise in Lucy's eyes.Most of the Hill family members were in the room. The doctor, Harold Nashman, stood by Julian's bed, seemingly unsure of what to do.When Julian's condition became urgent, and there was seemingly no way to treat him, Lucy found the family still indecisive upon hearing the news about Liam. So, she brought Julian to South City.Lucy knew the risks of her actions were great, but for her, it was the only way out. Fortunately, Liam eventually lent a helping hand.However, the rest of the Hill family was not pleased with Lucy's actions. Lucy initially planned to explain everything to Julian after he regained consciousness.The Hill family members unexpectedly gathered. Hearing the voices behind her, everyone turned around to see her."Lucy..."Lucy's father, Ethan Hill, seemed hesitant as if he wanted to say something. However, before Ethan could speak, the voice of Lucy's uncle, Travis Hill
"Grandpa's condition isn't as simple as you think!" Lucy exclaimed.Upon hearing Ethan's words, Lucy grew anxious. If it were a regular treatment, Lucy would not have objected. In fact, she would have been delighted. However, his condition was far more complex.Julian's condition was not at all like what Ethan and the others imagined. If Lucy recalled correctly, Liam had indicated that the life-threatening factor for Julian was poisoning. Although the toxins had been purged, allowing an uninformed doctor to intervene recklessly would only escalate the danger.Travis scoffed. "Not simple? Indeed, it isn't. Doctor Nashman has just assessed, and now the old man's condition seems stable. I believe it was this young lad you brought in who delayed Grandpa's treatment, causing him to go into a coma!"Lucy's face flushed with anger. "You all knew how critical Grandpa's condition was then! If it weren't for Grandmaster Burrey's skill, how could Grandpa have recovered as he has?"Travis s
Travis could not stop smiling. If my old man can wake up that quickly, you'll be the Hill family's savior. We'll make sure to repay you properly!"Travis then turned to face Lucy with a sneer. "Did you hear that? It's all because you brought in that useless Grandmaster Burrey that delayed things. Otherwise, Doctor Nashman would have definitely cured Grandpa's illness much earlier!"Lucy was angry. "You..."However, Travis did not pay attention to Lucy's reaction. He turned to the other members of the Hill family and said, "It's by luck that we came here today. Otherwise, who knows how Lucy would've tormented my old man. By then, we might not even have the chance to regret it!"Ethan, standing at the back, let out a heavy sigh.When Travis and the others came to find Lucy, he still supported his daughter. However, regardless of what the members of the Hill family said, Liam remained calm, standing at the back.The reason he also let the so-called 'Doctor Nashman' continue with the
Julian, who had only shown slight movement in his eyes, began to tremble.The sight filled Travis with excitement as he enthusiastically exclaimed, "Doctor Nashman, your method is truly remarkable! My dad is starting to react now. Is he about to regain consciousness? Should we increase the power of the machines?"Seeing signs that Julian was about to awaken, Travis was impatient. However, despite his words, Harold remained silent.Watching Julian lying on the hospital bed, Harold gradually frowned. Julian's response to stimulation was a good sign, but the extent of the reaction caught Harold off guard. Julian's response indicated a highly active brain, but the electrical stimulation administered earlier was far from reaching that extent.Harold was puzzled. "Could it be that Mister Hill Senior was already on the brink of consciousness?"However, before Harold could begin to reexamine Julian's condition, he suddenly noticed that Julian's trembling was escalating rapidly, to the
Travis did not know what to do.Both Harold and the Hill family were panicked. They simply could not comprehend how the situation had suddenly deteriorated to such an extent.Soon enough, the nurses rushed into the room with various emergency equipment. Travis anxiously urged, "Doctor Nashman, the nurses and emergency equipment are here! You must save my dad! I beg you!"However, Harold hesitated when the nurses handed the adrenaline to him. He had no idea what to do. In his understanding, a mental spasm was fundamentally irreversible! The Hill family became even more nervous."Doctor Nashman?""Grandmaster Burrey, what's going on?"Lucy stood at the back, her face filled with anxiety as she looked at Liam. Julian's state was truly terrifying.Unlike the others, Liam remained calm.He stepped toward the hospital bed and said, "Don't worry. I already told you, using this method might have consequences you can't handle."Travis looked at Liam fiercely. "It's because of you!
A flash of annoyance crossed Harold's face. However, he seemed to reconsider something, hastily shutting his mouth and stepping aside for Liam.Harold held up his hands. "You all heard that. He asked me to step aside. If anything happens to Mister Hill Senior, it's not my responsibility!"Harold was unsure how to deal with Julian's condition, but Liam unexpectedly took the blame himself, so why not let him?"What an idiot," Harold muttered, looking at Liam as if he was a fool.Meanwhile, Lucy tensed up, her hands clenched tightly together. She did not doubt Liam's medical skills, but Julian's condition looked truly dangerous.Lucy trembled as she asked, "Grandmaster Burrey, do you need us to leave?"She still remembered Liam once saying that he did not like having people around when he was treating someone. However, Liam shook his head. He looked at Julian and calmly replied to Lucy, "No need. This time, it's not exactly treatment."Harold sneered. "Not exactly treatment? You'
However, the shock they were in had far from subsided.Even after the tremors in Julian's body had lessened, Liam did not cease his movements. He raised his fingers from Julian's forehead, his eyes narrowing slightly.Liam once again formed a sword with two fingers, pointing toward Julian's abdomen as he lightly pressed three inches below the navel.However, he seemed remarkably gentle compared to the first time. It even made one doubt whether those two fingers had actually touched Julian's abdomen.Although Liam's actions were delicate, a muffled sound rang out when he touched Julian.The entire room seemed to shake suddenly.An inexplicable shock, centered around Liam, suddenly spread outward.Lucy's eyes widened. "What's happening?!"The sudden anomaly startled Travis even more. "What's going on?!"The unexpected situation made Travis wonder if he was hallucinating.Everyone, including the members of the Hill family, glared at Liam with wide eyes.However, no one noticed
