"His heartbeat, pulse, breathing, and blood pressure are all normal!" Danielle exclaimed."Great!" The doctors suddenly burst into thunderous cheers. They all stared excitedly at Sebastian, their eyes full of gratitude.If Quentin had died at their hospital, Danielle would have been sure to go to the Steinberg city hall to kick up a fuss. If so, St. James Hospital would probably have gotten into big trouble.Sebastian hadn't just saved Quentin. He had also saved the doctors and, by extension, their families."Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Ballard!" Walter looked at the examination reports and took Sebastian's hand in excitement."Thank you, Mr. Ballard." Elena shook hands with Sebastian, looking rather guilty."Um… M-Mr. Ballard, m-my…" Danielle suddenly thought of what Sebastian had said about her. With medical skills like his, it would not be a problem for him to help her with minor problems like those.Sebastian chuckled as he glanced at Danielle. He said, "You and Aaron both h
"What do you do for a living?" Vince asked Orion accusingly as his expression darkened. "I'm the deputy director of this hospital. They attacked him, and I'm a witness!" Orion said, clapping himself on the chest."You're a witness?" Vince swept his gaze over the rest of the doctors and asked coldly, "Tell me. Was he there when it happened?"As he spoke, Vince's expression grew menacing. He clasped his hands behind his back and began to pace back and forth. "He… He wasn't," a male doctor said after mustering up the courage. "That's right. Dr. Bolton only just arrived.""It was just Dr. Lemmington and us in the consultation room!"Vince smiled in satisfaction. He nodded slightly and said, "Alright. Come on, take him back to the station and ask him what he can testify to as a witness."Following his orders, two police officers quickly handcuffed Orion. Orion was dumbstruck. Vince was twisting the truth."What are you doing? I haven't committed any crimes!" Orion hollered as
Rosalie took a deep breath. She glanced at Gavin and said, "Don't worry, Captain Horner. I'm fine. "After all, Sebastian and Whitney were married for three years. It's impossible for him to feel nothing for her. If Sebastian was the kind of person who moved on very quickly, I wouldn't have fallen for him."Gavin was reassured and said, "I'm glad you think that way, Ms. Griffin. However, the pharmaceutical factory is related to the production of military resources. "I must go over as soon as possible to understand what's going on. If anything goes wrong, I'll be able to report to Mr. Shields Senior promptly."With that, Gavin walked out.After they had all left, Rosalie walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. She watched as Sebastian and Gavin got into Zane's car. She was lost in thought."Are you worried that they'll rekindle the flame?" Rose asked, smiling as she sipped on a cup of coffee.Rosalie didn't look at her. She just shook her head slightly and said, "I don't ha
Whitney's complexion was a greenish-black, and her lips were clamped tightly shut. There appeared to be a dark tinge of energy on her forehead.As Sebastian looked over at the office table, he spotted a plate of half-eaten pastries that were still placed there."Mr. Ballard, the pastries were brought here. However, we checked them before they brought them in. They're not poisonous." Fitz explained quickly to Sebastian.He was responsible for the safety of everyone at the pharmaceutical factory. If anything happened to Whitney in the office, Fitz would have to be sent to military court!Therefore, he had set strict rules from the very beginning. No food, including bottles of mineral water, would be allowed to pass through the doors of the pharmaceutical factory without undergoing strict testing."Did you bring all of these?" Sebastian strode over to Whitney's desk and picked up one of the pastries. He sniffed it. Although there were all kinds of spices in the pastry, Sebastian co
Crystal and Dante had always treated Whitney as a money making machine. She was the means to their comfortable lifestyle. Now, they had actually tried to harm her. Sebastian and Whitney had been married for three years, so he still had some affection for her. Even Gavin and Fitz looked unkindly at Dante and Crystal."What are you trying to say, Sebastian? I'm warning you, Whitney's my daughter. You're only her ex-husband. Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do! "You just can't find a reason to shift the responsibility for this, so you're trying to frame me and Dante!" Crystal screamed shrilly. She knew that they were at a disadvantage, and she edged backward toward the door as she spoke.Dante was also retreating toward the door as he pointed at Sebastian and said, "Ballard, don't try to put the blame on us! Even if these pastries aren't of very good quality, they won't kill anyone! Besides, whoever heard of someone dying from eating incense ash? I—"Before Dante co
"Stop talking nonsense and tell us!" Fitz yelled angrily.Dante looked mournful as he wept and said, "I didn't want to do this! It was a man called Mr. Reynolds who made me do it.""Mr. Reynolds?" Sebastian frowned as he stared intently at Dante."You've met him before. It was the guy in the burial suit who slapped me in the face a couple of days ago at the entrance to Frostwave Corporation."At Dante's explanation, a familiar face rose up in Sebastian's mind.He had met Elton at the Northmans' the other day. However, he had managed to escape as everyone was focusing on saving Theodore."Sebastian, I really was forced to do this." Dante sobbed as he crawled over to Sebastian on his knees. He could see that there was still an icy, menacing glint in Sebastian's eyes. The truth was that Crystal and Dante had been kicked out of the Sutton family not long after Whitney left. They could no longer spend as extravagantly as they had before. They were now living in an old house that w
Fitz broke out into a cold sweat at once. He looked nervously at Sebastian and said, "Mr. Ballard, Ms. Sutton—"Sebastian said seriously, "Commander Sorensen, please station guards to watch over Whitney. We can't let any other accidents happen. I'll rush back right now to cast a spell and find the straw man that her soul has been attached to.""C-Cast a spell?" Fitz's face convulsed involuntarily at Sebastian's words. He then looked over at Gavin.Gavin nodded at him and said, "Do as Mr. Ballard says. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility.""Alright!" Fitz nodded heavily and commanded his subordinates to set up the building as a temporary military-restricted zone. No one would be allowed to enter or exit as they pleased. He arranged for a military vehicle to send Sebastian and Gavin back to the convenience store.…Meanwhile, in a villa in the northern suburbs of Sunway, Hunter swirled the red wine in his glass. He looked scornful as he looked at Jace sitting in front o
