“Dr. Owen, it’s such a blessing for you to be able to marry such a talented man.”What?What did he say?Adery was so shy that she blushed and kept waving. “No, Mr. Barlow, you’ve misunderstood. Thomas and I are not in that kind of relationship.” “Oh?” Edith said in puzzlement, “If you’re not a couple, why would the secret medical skills of your family be passed to an outsider?”Adery explained, “Because Thomas was my deceased brother’s comrade for many years, and he also saved my father’s life. Besides, Thomas is gifted in medicine, so my father made an exception by taking him in as a student and passed down all of the Owen family’s medical skills to him without hesitation.Edith nodded. “I see. I congratulate Mr. Owen for being able to have such a talented student.”He paused for a while before he chuckled and said, “But I really think that you look so beautiful, and normal men are totally not good enough for you. Only an outstanding young man like Dr. Mayo is a perfect match
For some reason, Thomas had clearly helped Adery but still made her feel unhappy. She even got mad for no reason. No matter what Thomas did, Adery would feel unsatisfied.It was as if Thomas was an extra person.However, when Thomas said that he wanted to leave, Adery looked even unhappier!That made Thomas feel a little confused.Should he stay or not? He really did not know what he should do.It was only after William showed up that he solved Thomas’ problem.William felt extremely happy when he saw Thomas. After they talked for a while, he continued teaching Thomas the Owen family’s medical skills, and he also helped Thomas solve many problems.After the training this time, Thomas understood more about the medical skills, and he had more advanced accomplishments in medicine.After a long day, the sun was about to set.Thomas got up and bade them goodbye, but Adery was still indifferent as usual. She did not even look at him at all, as though she hated Thomas very much.Tho
Groaning, crying, and screaming could be heard continuously.It looked like the huge fire had been caused by the explosion of a gas stove.Thomas frowned and threw $100 to the driver. “Keep the change, please.”Then, he got out of the car and rushed to the place with fire to help save people.The situation was so chaotic, and the firemen arrived in a very short time. They tried their best to put out the fire, and there were people who were carried out from the building. Those people suffered from burns, and all of them lay on the floor.The ambulances arrived, and they kept sending people off.However, there were too many victims, so they were not able to send the victims away. It looked like many people would lose their lives because the rescue was not in time.Thomas also did not think too much. He directly took the needles out and treated the victims one by one. He did not need to cure them. He just needed to stabilize their injuries so that they could persist until they were
At the river in the countryside, in a mansion with a simple style.A black sedan stopped in the courtyard. The door was opened, and a man in a trench coat coughed as he stepped out. He was the man who had helped with the rescuing at the fire earlier, Skeleton.Just as he walked through the courtyard, the housekeeper came over and said, “Master, Mr. Hudson and Mr. Weston are waiting for you in the living room.”Mr. Hudson?Mr. Weston?Skeleton immediately knew who had arrived, and he frowned. He was very unhappy.“Let them leave.”The housekeeper felt a little troubled. “Master, Mr. Hudson seems to have come prepared today. He said he has to meet you, or else he will not leave.”“Humph!”The skeleton swung his sleeves, walked pridefully into the courtyard, went through the long corridor, and came to the living room.Once he entered the living room, he saw Conley and Calix sitting on the couch. They smoked while they talked.Skeleton wore a cold expression as he walked over. “
Ryan had gone to a bar with his friends and fallen for a dancer named Vany.After they were in a long relationship, Ryan fell deeply in love with her, so he wanted to marry Vany. But, how was it possible for Parker to agree?A man from a big family marrying a dancer?That was ridiculous!It was fine when he just went to have fun with her. But, if he wanted to be serious and marry her, it could just be a dream.Parker did not agree to the marriage at all.As a result, the two of them had been in a serious dispute.Ryan had fallen deeply in love. Since he could not get his father’s permission, he decided to bring Vany away, which was considered eloping.At that time, Ryan had been grounded by his family. If he wanted to run away, he had to get help from somebody.Therefore, he had gone to his elder brother who had grown up with him since he was little, Conley.Conley had promised to help him, but he had secretly told their father about Ryan’s plan to elope. That night, Ryan and
The only reason Ryan had not chosen to commit suicide was that he wanted to see Vany again. A glance was enough.As such, he had put in a lot of effort to look for Vany.There had been no outcome to his search, and all his hard work had been in vain. Parker had guarded Ryan, so he had put in a lot of effort when he sent Vany away.No matter how smart Ryan was, he could not find any clue even after he cracked his head for a long time.That was the pain in his heart.Conley knew his pain, so he smiled and said, “My brother, I know what your aim of staying alive is. Let’s make a deal. If you get rid of someone for me, I’ll tell you where Vany was sent, and where she is now.”“What?”Ryan was shocked. “Stop lying! When Parker sent her away, he did not expose any information to anyone. How could you know about it?”Conley shrugged. “I initially didn’t, but since I’ve become the head of the family and I can check all the orders, I noticed a very strange encrypted order. It was made b
No matter how noble she was, no matter how educated and well-mannered she was, she was just a woman. She did not have any resistance toward “discounts”.Emma stared at her broken car while she thought about the discount.“If we don’t use it, it’ll be our great loss. Since our car has also broken down, why don’t we take the opportunity to replace it?“But, how much does it cost for a new car?”Thomas waved his hand. “You don’t have to worry about that. I earned some money recently. I think it should be enough.”“Are you sure?”“Yes.”“It’s your turn to pay for it this time.” Emma’s side as a smart woman had been shown vividly, and it made Thomas feel happy when he saw it.“Of course I will pay for it.”The two of them made the promise.The next morning, before the alarm rang, Emma woke up very early to get ready. She usually loved to sleep a little longer, but she was extremely motivated today because she wanted to buy a car with a discount.She dragged Thomas out of bed an
The man was Lucian Lopez. He used to be the associate chairman of the student association when he was in university.Lucian was not only handsome with outstanding academic results, but he was also excellent in sports. His family background was also quite rich.A man with very perfect conditions in all aspects was naturally the prince in every girl’s eyes.Ordinary women were not good enough for him.Only Emma, the only beauty queen recognized by the whole school, could make Lucian fall for her.Emma’s beauty had made all boys in school fall for her.She had naturally also caught Lucian’s eyes.Lucian had written love letters to Emma and even asked her out for a meal as well as movie dates. He had even gotten the members of the student association to help him.He had used all the methods that he could think of, but he failed!Emma was not interested in Lucian.Perhaps it was more accurate to say that Emma was not interested in relationships. At that time, Emma did not understa
No one knew how far down the title Emperor of Luck was inherited.They had finally caught Luck.Following that, Eric leaped into action and reeled in his haul as fast as he could. With that, all the remaining accomplices of Luck were caught in one fell swoop!The two million innocent citizens were saved, as all of them took the antidote.Once again, Thomas saved the day.In order to express their gratitude, the citizens decided to erect statues of Thomas in Celandine City and many other cities as well.In the House of Vistaria.Phoebe ran towards her father hurriedly. She then smiled at him and said, “What did I tell you, dad? Thomas will definitely turn things around, right? I won!”Declan was so agitated, that he started tearing up.Thomas was really too amazing. He was capable of turning things around, even in such a predicament.At the same time, the curse that had plagued the Mars family for over a thousand years was finally broken. From then onwards, Declan was finally
Luck was dumbfounded. Why was Thomas still alive and kicking?“No need to doubt your own eyes. I am indeed still alive.”The crowd parted, making way for a very familiar figure. It was Thomas, the very Thomas whom the public watched him die.As he walked, he said, “Our previous research has already reached ninety-nine percent completion. But no matter how hard we tried, the final one percent remained out of our grasp. At that time, I thought that perhaps the only way was to drink the Ancestral Water and experience the poison itself, which would allow me to have a breakthrough for the final one percent.“And that was what happened. I managed to do it.“After drinking the Ancestral Water, I finally understood what the one percent was and successfully created the antidote for Ancestral Water. Now that the antidote has been created, it will sever your connection with the Ancestral Water.“You will not be able to kill anyone anymore.“You have lost, Luck.”Lost?Luck's eyes were wi
It was obvious that Eric could not afford to take a gamble this time. But he had no choice. His only choice was to listen to whatever the other party said and prepare a helicopter in twelve hours’ time.That was not all. He was also supposed to request for his superiors to help Luck get out of the country.The thought of it made Eric furious.“Damn it!”He left in anger to deal with the rest of the matter.The sky of Celandine City was covered with clouds.The patriarch, Declan, was in his garden in the House of Vistaria. He stared at the withered flowers as he grieved.His entire life was spent supporting Mr. Cole in hopes that he would be able to create an antidote to Ancestral Water. But at the end of the day, Mr. Cole accomplished nothing.His two disciples — Capricious Holy Hand Elliot, and Thomas — were both dead.There was no one in the world who was capable of creating the antidote for Ancestral Water anymore.“Alas...” Declan sighed. It seemed that it was impossible
At that moment, the general public was suddenly dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning. Everyone was down in the dumps.Many of those with poor psychological strength directly collapsed on the ground.They believed Thomas' death could be exchanged for their own safety, but who knew, in the end, they got nothing, and Luck, as usual, used their lives as a bargaining chip to force the authorities to listen to His Majesty's words.No antidote to Ancestral Water would ever be created by chance.The lives of people were still in His Majesty's hands.Whenever luck wanted them to die, they would die without any ability to resist.However, this was not the most frightening part. What was even more frightening than this was that the only person who could create the antidote to Ancestral Water had been forced to die alive by them.It would be impossible to create the antidote to Ancestral Water without Thomas.Mr. Cole and Elliot had all died, Thomas was the last person who mastered the
Eric sighed deeply, "Thomas, even though things have reached this point, you still remain so kind.""I have nothing to say except to choose death because the research failed." Thomas let out a long breath. "Before I die, I want to talk to my family on the phone."Originally, Emma and the others came to Celandine City because they wanted to be reunited with Thomas.Who knew it had turned into a life and death situation?The world was like a chess game; everything was unpredictable.When Thomas was video calling with his family, Emma was already bathed in tears at the other end. She was crying and shouting at Thomas to not be impulsive, and saying perhaps there was still room for things to turn around.That was what she thought, but it was not the case.Every minute Thomas dragged on, more people perished as the result of Ancestral Water, and the crowd’s fear and rage grew.Thomas’ life no longer belonged to him."Honey, take care of the baby."I love you."Those were Thomas’
For such demanding research, half a day was really too short.Thomas had recruited the best doctors and researchers he could find to work on a detailed study of Ancestral Water.In the past, it was difficult to achieve breakthroughs in the research on Ancestral Water. That was because figuring out how to create an antidote for the Ancestral Water was challenging. On the other hand, it was also because obtaining the Ancestral Water was incredibly difficult. Because they only had a few samples, the results were underwhelming.However, it was different now. Because the entire city's water supply had been turned into Ancestral Water, they were able to collect the samples at their convenience. This made it much easier for Thomas and the others to get the materials.With Thomas in charge, hundreds of researchers were conducting a massive study in just half a day. Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan.Thomas still failed. “We almost got it.“We were so close to makin
How sinister. “All we want is nothing but—safety.“As long as we’re safe, we definitely won’t make it difficult for everyone. If we’re safe, no one will die.“Now then, I have a small request to make to ensure everyone’s safety.“I demand that Thomas drink Ancestral Water immediately! This person is a real hassle for His Majesty, and we must keep him under our control for our own protection. Please forgive us for the inconvenience.“We'll only give everyone half a day to consider this. The emperor will begin killing people if Thomas does not step forward and drink Ancestral Water by this afternoon.“Okay. I've said everything I wanted to say. Goodbye.” The TV screen went dark, and so did Eric's face.He kicked the trash can over and said fiercely, “What is this? You're the only person in the world who can create an antidote for Ancestral Water’s poison, Thomas!“Once you drink Ancestral Water, you’ll be controlled by them!“Won't you have to obey Luck's every command by the
After listening to Thomas’ description, Eric also displayed a look of shock and said two words, “As expected.”What did he mean by, as expected?Was it possible that Eric knew that Luck was behind it from the start?“Thomas, follow me.”Eric took Thomas into an empty ward and locked the door. The two sat in the corner of the ward.He whispered, “There is a piece of news that I haven’t announced to the public, that is, besides Celandine City, there are more than ten cities that have problems. Do you know which cities they are?”Thomas’ eyes lit up. He already knew what Eric wanted to say.At the previous meeting, Eric had clearly stated that more than ten cities across the country had been controlled by Luck. Now, there happened to have more than ten cities where residents had been poisoned.Was there such a coincidence?Thomas said, “The residents are poisoned by Ancestral Water. Over ten cities are all under the control of Luck’s forces, so it is almost a certainty that Luck
“I didn’t. I saw the news early in the morning and was shocked. I haven’t dared to drink a sip of water until now.” Pisces took a deep breath and said, “Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? It’s really terrible.”No matter whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it was no small matter.Soon, Thomas drove to the hospital.Eric had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as he saw Thomas coming, he quickly let him enter the ward.He saw a patient lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, and his body was trembling. Although it was very hot, he was as cold as if he had just been lifted out of the freezer.A doctor walked over and said, “Mr. Mayo, let me tell you the general overview of the current situation.”The virus was spread through water sources.After drinking water with the virus, the virus would lurk in the human body.However, lurking did not mean that it would cause an outbreak.At present, over one hundred thousand people had b
