Evan arrived at a quiet villa with Lindsay and her grandfather.The villa covered a vast piece of land, and many domestic helpers and bodyguards worked there. Its architecture was luxurious."This is Sullivan Residence?" Evan immediately recognized where he was.This place belonged to one of the Four Major Families of Harken Bay, the Sullivans."I won't hide it any longer since you recognize this place." The old man introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Caleb Sullivan, and this is my granddaughter, Lindsay.""I'm Evan Carlton." Evan nodded at them."If you can cure my grandfather, the Sullivans can pay you however much you ask for," Lindsay said seriously.Evan replied, "I don't want a single cent. I'll treat him since Mr. Sullivan Senior is already my patient.""Thank you, Dr. Carlton. Please follow me."Caleb led Evan to the living room and ordered all the domestic helpers to leave."What exactly have I contracted, Dr. Carlton?" Caleb asked.Evan said seriously, "Yo
"A miracle doctor?" Aaron looked at the silver needles on Caleb with a frown. "What are these things?""They're the silver needles used by the doctor."Aaron got anxious. "What? Grandpa, how can you trust a random stranger? What if something happens to you? I've already arranged for the most renowned doctor in Harken Bay to treat you. It's Dr. Reuben Keen."Seven or eight doctors in white robes came walking in with their medical bags. Reuben was leading them at the front."What are you doing here, Dr. Keen?" Caleb greeted him with a smile."I heard that you had a relapse, Mr. Sullivan Senior. I came right away because I was worried about you.""Sorry for the trouble. I can't stand up to welcome you because I can't move right now.""It's fine. You can just lay there."Reuben approached Caleb and saw the silver needles on his chest. His face fell. "Why do you have all these silver needles on you, Mr. Sullivan Senior?"Caleb smiled and said, "Don't panic, Dr. Keen. I met a young
"Grandpa!" Lindsay screamed in panic.Caleb's breathing got increasingly weaker as he could not stop coughing up dark-colored blood."Dr. Keen, what's wrong with my grandfather?"Aaron looked at Reuben in a panic."Evan said not to pull out those silver needles no matter what happened, but you insisted on doing it. What should we do now?"Lindsay was tearing up in fear."This is impossible." Reuben frowned. He did not expect things to turn out this way.Lindsay said angrily, "You'd better figure something out, Reuben Keen. You were the one who insisted on pulling out those silver needles. My grandfather wouldn't have ended up this way if it weren't for you."Reuben's expression fell when he heard this. "How dare a young lady like you speak that way to a senior?"Lindsay said coldly, "I used to respect you because you're older than I am, but my grandfather turned out this way because of you. I don't care who you are right now! If you don't save my grandfather, don't think of ev
Evan ignored Reuben's nonsense and focused. His hands went to work, and the silver needles fell right into place into the meridian points.Evan used a five-inch silver needle for the last meridian point and pierced it into the Spirit Palace Meridian Point. Only the needle's handle could be seen poking out.Lindsay noticed the black line on her grandfather's chest had appeared again.Reuben grunted with disdain. "Stop putting on a show."Evan took out the bowl of cooked ingredients that smelled good."What is that, Evan?"Lindsy could see a blob of black stuff inside. Even though it smelled good, there was something strange about it."Crickets, frogs, centipedes, and ants!"His reply gave Lindsay goosebumps. "Evan, did you go out to get these things?""Yup!""Why did you cook them?""To treat your grandfather.""Huh?"Lindsay was taken aback. "Do you plan to use these disgusting things to treat my grandfather?"Aaron frowned. He had never heard of anyone using bugs to trea
Caleb sternly issued an eviction order, so Reuben had no choice but to take his team and leave disgracefully."Evan, what on earth is going on?" Lindsay was puzzled and asked, "Why was there such a disgusting parasite in our grandfather's body?""If my speculation is correct, I'm guessing that Mr. Sullivan Senior has a penchant for raw food," said Evan.Aaron nodded and said, "You're right, Evan. Our grandfather served in the army before. During special training, he had to survive by eating live animals. This habit of his has never changed since then. He often eats raw beef, fish, and other types of seafood."Evan explained, "Mr. Sullivan Senior must have eaten something raw and accidentally ingested the pinworm larva."In fact, the human gastric juice is capable of digesting these larvae. However, Mr. Sullivan Senior has been eating raw food for a long time, which has made his body weak, giving the larva an optimum living environment."The pinworm larva hatched and formed inside
Evan shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal."At this time, Aaron's cell phone rang. He went out to answer a call before coming back."Grandpa, the Waterson boy called and said he wants to talk to me about working together." Aaron asked for Caleb's opinion, "Do you want to meet him?""Is it that second-rate family?""Yes.""Anyone who visits is a guest. Let him in."Aaron nodded and sent someone to receive the guest.Evan stood up and said, "Mr. Sullivan Senior, since you're alright, I'll leave first.""Evan, won't you stay and have a meal with us?" Caleb persuaded him to stay."No need. There are some people I don't want to see," Evan said casually.Caleb felt a little confused with Evan's reply, but he did not ask any more questions. He just said, "Lindsay, please send Evan off.""Okay."Lindsay was about to leave with Evan when Sean and Quinn suddenly walked in."Long time no see, Mr. Sullivan! Evan? Why are you here too?"Sean walked in, his eyes focused on Aar
Sean's entire being stiffened. His expression was awkward, and he seemed at a loss.Quinn bit her lip, feeling embarrassed."There's no need for these gifts. You wouldn't be here if you weren't in need. Let's be honest. What do you want from us?" Aaron did not want to waste time with them.Sean forced a smile and said, "Mr. Sullivan, do you remember the cooperation between us that I previously proposed to you? What do you think about it?""Cooperation? What cooperation?" Aaron dug his ear with a puzzled look. He asked again, "Did you mention that to me? I don't remember it.""Mr. Sullivan, you're an important man who has your plate full. It's normal that you don't remember. I could go through it with you again."Sean knew that Aaron was pulling his leg on purpose, but he could only endure it. He said, "The Sullivans have the best pharmaceutical factory in Harken Bay, while the Watersons have the best imported medicinal materials. "If we could work together, it'd be a great succ
Sean said in a solemn tone, "Quinn, please let me explain."I did have a really good relationship with Mr. Sullivan, but I've never met Mr. Sullivan Senior. The old man is semi-retired. Now, he basically doesn't manage the Sullivans' affairs. I think Mr. Sullivan was offended with us not because Mr. Sullivan Senior fainted but because of Evan!"Quinn paused and asked, "Because of Evan?""Yes! You saw it just now. Evan left immediately when he saw us. Then, Mr. Sullivan asked us if we had any conflicts with him."Sean gritted his teeth and continued, "I'm sure it's because of Evan's nonsense that Mr. Sullivan is angry with us. Think about it, Evan got lucky and somehow cured Mr. Sullivan Senior. He must have gotten Mr. Sullivan's trust that way. "You dumped Evan mercilessly. Of course, he'd hate you so much that he wouldn't make things easy for you. This is all Evan's fault."After Quinn heard that, her eyes turned red, and a surge of anger bubbled within her. "This disgusting ma
