LOGINHis retreating figure had remained upright like a pine, his steps unhurried, his robe lifting slightly in the wind. He still looked as invincible as ever, yet only he himself knew that with every step he took, a dull pain still throbbed deep within his soul essence. The shackles of the rules of the heavens had not released him; they still coiled tightly around his entire being.He could not stay, nor did he dare to stay. Only by leaving as quickly as possible could he completely isolate all danger from Amelia.Only after Carl's figure disappeared into the flow of traffic beyond the hospital gates, vanishing without a trace, did Amelia slowly withdraw her gaze. At her fingertips, there seemed to linger the warmth and strength of his palm.Alfonso stood beside her, watching the gentle way his sister looked toward the door. Between his usually steady brows and eyes, a layer of gravity and worry quietly settled, impossible to conceal.He glanced around the co
Beside her stood an elderly professor of traditional medicine with graying hair, holding a pair of reading glasses, so excited that his fingers trembled slightly. He had devoted more than sixty years to studying traditional medicine needle techniques and had always held himself in high regard, yet today he was completely convinced by Amelia.The old professor stepped forward and bowed deeply to Amelia, his tone filled with reverence: "Ms. Amelia, I have practiced medicine for sixty years and have never seen such exquisite and peerless needle technique! When you applied the needles, your movements flowed like drifting clouds and running water; the needle followed the qi, and you controlled it with pure force. This has long surpassed all traditional medicine needle techniques passed down in the world and truly stands at the pinnacle of medical Dao! Today, I have finally understood what it means that there is always a higher heaven beyond heaven, and greater people beyond people
Everyone had long held Amelia's medical skills in the highest regard. This young woman had twice created medical miracles at the Norman Hospital, reviving patients whom even the hospital's most elite expert teams had been powerless to save, relying solely on her almost divine needle technique. Such ability had long surpassed the realm of ordinary physicians and earned her the title of a miracle doctor.The emotions in the ward gradually settled. Gracie wiped away her tears and carefully tucked the blanket around the elderly man, while the woman brought over warm water and gently moistened his cracked lips with a cotton swab.After a long while, the old man's breathing steadied. The bluish tint on his lips faded, replaced by a faint flush of color. His eyes, tightly shut for days, finally regained some light. Though still weak, he had clearly escaped the brink of death.Amelia slowly walked to the bedside, her brows gentle and her eyes warm. Her voice was soft ye
At the same time, there were frantic, anxious shouts: "Amelia, Amelia!"The person who arrived was Alfonso. Ever since Amelia had left alone yesterday, Alfonso had sent people to search almost all of New York, yet there had been no trace of Amelia.He had also contacted the Jenkins family and learned that Carl was not at home either.Recalling how Amelia, after waking up, had been constantly looking for Carl, he guessed that she must have gone alone to find Carl.From yesterday until now, he had not rested at all. Ever since his consciousness had awakened and his memories had returned, the most important person before his eyes had been his junior sister.He had no other thoughts toward Amelia; it was purely the care and protection of an elder martial brother toward his junior sister.Not long ago, he had received news that Amelia was at Central Hospital, and he had rushed over without delay.As expected, the news had come from Dean Ea
"Destination reached."Ahead, the gilded letters of the Norman Hospital and its white buildings quickly came into view.The car slowly drove into the hospital parking lot, and the moment it came to a stop, Gracie almost immediately unfastened her seat belt, her eyes reddening uncontrollably once again.Amelia and Carl got out of the car at the same time, their movements always perfectly in sync. Carl gently released Amelia's hand and shielded her at his side, his calm gaze sweeping over the noisy crowd and the hurried medical staff coming and going, an aura of refined aloofness mixed with steady reliability surrounding him."This way, Ms. Cromwell, Mr. Jenkins. My grandfather is in a special observation ward next to the intensive care unit on the third floor!" Gracie's voice carried an almost imperceptible tremor as she raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye and hurried toward the inpatient building. Each step was filled with urgency, yet she still
Carl gently drew her closer to his side, pulling her away from the edge of the road. The gesture was natural and considerate. "Stand next to me and watch out for passing vehicles. This place is remote, so there may not be many cars, but there will always be some."He stood tall on the outer side of her, like the firmest shield, blocking all potential dangers, no matter how subtle. His eyes were filled with an unyielding tenderness.The two of them stood side by side at the roadside, waiting quietly.Amelia leaned against Carl's shoulder and gazed at the rolling green mountains in the distance and the vast, clear light of the sky. She had never imagined that one day she would be waiting for a ride with him on such a desolate highway, without luxury or comfort, living nothing more than the most ordinary human moments. Yet this simplicity made her feel more at ease than any life of indulgence ever could.After an unknown amount of time had passed, a faint so
"Special Operations Team leader?" Levi's fingertips trembled. "No... impossible, how could you be from the Special Operations Team! That's a high-level unit, how could they possibly come to HUD?"Amelia smiled faintly, her tone gentle and lingering. "If it weren't for the demolition of Cle
Amelia's voice was calm and light: "Do you have people in Mexico?""Of course, that's my first home," Colten replied with a hint of pride at the corner of his eyes. "I can't speak for other places, but when it comes to Mexico, I'm more than familiar."Amelia smiled faintly: "Let's find a place to h
But as for who it is specifically, Amelia still has no leads. For now, it seems the person's position must be even higher than Patrick's."Then we just have to wait for him to make a mistake," Carl said, lifting his eyelids slightly. "After we finish dealing with this, I need to take Elijah away fo
When the crowd heard this, they all returned to their seats. This was the first time there had ever been a hidden item; such a situation had never occurred before.Two staff members carefully carried a tray covered with white silk onto the stage. On the tray was an object protected by a glass dome,
