If the professor could cure Myra, Cole’s position in Kent’s heart would skyrocket and he would surely rise to prominence in Riverbank. Whatever trouble he got himself into, his uncle would surely cover up for him. Buffy did not say anything but her eyes showed delight. If Professor Wilson could cure Myra, then Kent would be in her debt and she could ask for his help to further expand Gwake Corporation in Riverbank. Only Kaze remained calm and composed. Professor Wilson had not even seen Myra, yet he claimed it was a mental condition. He seemed to have jumped to a conclusion a little too early. “This way please.” Kent was focused on his daughter and did not further comment on anything. He led the way and brought Kaze and Professor Wilson into the mansion. When they went to the second floor, they saw a middle-aged woman in an expensive sleeping robe sitting outside a room, looking pale and dispirited. The woman was Kent’s wife, Jane. Jane’s eyes were glued to the ta
Professor Wilson was not shy to accept the monetary reward. A million dollars was a decent amount of money even for a world-renowned psychologist like him. Back in Uleania, a talk at the presidential campaign or anything similar would only pay him tens of thousands. “Kaze…” Kent then looked at Kaze. Kaze raised his hand. “I’m okay. I don’t need the money. Let’s just wait for Myra to wake up first.” “Thank you, Kaze.” Kent nodded with gratitude. Cole grunted softly. He believed Kaze was just acting and refused the monetary reward, but he did not refuse the mansion from Hamlin. Buffy frowned in displeasure. She had a feeling that Kaze was trying to make Professor Wilson look bad. Kaze did not make any comments. He went to the parlor, sat down, and enjoyed some tea. The others came over and waited together. “Myra, what’s wrong?” As expected, Myra’s sleep was light. In less than ten minutes, Kent and Jane’s anxious cries could be heard outside the room. The group
Seeing a positive reaction from Myra, Professor Wilson seized the chance and continued to communicate with her. When Myra finally spoke, even briefly, Kent teared up and Jane sobbed. It had been a while since the girl spoke to her parents. “See, Professor Wilson is the professional here. Not like you, a conman. You can never be like him.” Cole appeared beside Kaze and whispered his sneers. Kaze had a glance at him and decided to ignore the fool. He continued to watch Professor Wilson communicating with Myra. His brows furrowed as the process went on. Professor Wilson continued for another ten minutes. He did most of the speaking and Myra briefly replied a few times, but it was enough to move her parents. Myra started to accept Wilson and her subconscious saw him as a friend. She even began to listen to him and would do as he said. “Sleep. Once you sleep, you can forget all your troubles,” Professor Wilson said softly, attempting to lullaby her to sleep. Myra did as
Kaze shook Cole’s hand away and said, “Mayor Synder, your daughter is not suffering from a mental illness. She’s like you—someone poisoned her. We have to get the poison out of her body right away and not put her on hypnosis. “Her body has been infiltrated by the strange poison for a while now and it has started to affect her mind, that’s why she’s been acting strangely and trying to kill herself. “If you force her into hypnosis, it will only worsen her condition. Worst case scenario, she might die.” He emphasized the last part, where Myra would lose her life. He was not trying to scare Kent. From the moment he saw Myra, he noticed the girl’s worsening health and it was not due to her mental condition. If a girl grew up under the protection of her parents and lived a happy life without any major incidents until recently, how could she be so severely mentally ill? The only explanation was her condition was caused by an external factor. After a quick inspection, Kaze was
“Curse? You think I’m a fool? I’ve seen a lot of tricks before and I know what you want to do. I’m warning you, if you don't want to die here, get the hell out of our faces! “If you interrupt Professor Wilson’s treatment, I will break your legs and arms and make you crawl to the hospital like a worm! “If anything happens to Myra, not only you, your whole family will pay for it too!” Cole threatened Kaze coldly. Kaze simply glanced at him. Anyone who knew Kaze well could tell that his gaze at Cole was cold and emotionless like he was looking at a field of grass that he could easily step on. Crushing Cole would be as easy as that, yet the man had no idea about it. Kaze pulled his attention away from Cole and looked at Kent. “Mayor Synder, you don’t trust me?” “Kaze, I…” Kent hesitated. Back on the train, Kaze did save his life. It was impossible for him to have no trust in Kaze. However, based on the situation, Professor Wilson had successfully calmed Myra down, made he
“What did you say? You think too highly of yourself, you bastard!” Cole was amused by Kaze's words. He had never seen such a shameless person before. Buffy curled her lips into a smirk, her eyes had nothing but contempt for Kaze. Professor Wilson could no longer tolerate Kaze questioning his profession. He looked at Kent and said, “Mr. Synder, are you going to let this conman keep questioning me? I said I can cure your daughter, I am confident but I don’t want some random guy to mess up my treatment. “If you don’t make him leave, then I will assume that you are with him and you are also questioning my profession. I will leave instead.” He feigned walking away. Cole quickly held him back and said, “Professor, wait! My uncle doesn’t mean it!” “Uncle Kent, say something! If Professor Wilson walks, Myra might not recover anymore!” Jane held Kent’s arm. “Kent, I don’t know why you trust this young man but we finally see some progress in Myra’s treatment. Are you just going
Nevertheless, Cole was still alarmed by Kaze’s presence. He could not accept that Kaze simply laid his hands on Myra using the excuse of checking on her condition. His cousin was the subject of his sexual fantasy. First of all, Myra was adopted and she was not related to him by blood. He was so obsessed with her looks and body that his view of her started to get twisted. Even while he slept with other women, he would fantasize about her. More importantly, if he married Myra, he could inherit all the resources and wealth from Kent and no longer have to work hard in this lifetime. Therefore, he could not accept Kaze laying his fingers on Myra. “I have to find a way to remove him once and for all.” Cole narrowed his eyes. He walked to the corner and started texting. …“Mr. Lee, the mayor wants me to apologize on his behalf. You are here to help and he appreciates your gesture, but Myra’s condition is their priority now. As a parent, Mr. Synder didn’t want to give up o
Another voice message followed after the video. This time, it was Ryna’s voice. “What’s wrong, feel bad? I’m telling you, we are going to use all the herbs you give us and you can’t do anything about it! Hahaha, tens of millions worth of foot spa, not even the rich and powerful can live our life now…” Kaze sighed at Ryna’s provocation. He replied helplessly, “As long as you are happy.” Ryna sent several more voice messages to provoke Kaze but he was smart enough to ignore all of them. Meanwhile, at the Yemens’ family home, Ryna was annoyed that she did not get a reply. “Lock, is this how your student should behave? He’s not replying. Where are his manners?” Ryna was so annoyed that she did not get a reply. She tossed the phone to the side and complained to Lock. She was hinting at her husband to not accept Kaze, and it was best for him to cut all ties. Lock helplessly said, “If you want respect, you should learn how to respect others first. You are just being petty.”
