Theresa, who had witnessed everything, stood by the side without saying anything. She thought Fergus and Crystal were a bit too much with their acting.It was clear that Sebastian was the one who saved Whitney. However, she chose silence because she knew if Whitney found out Sebastian saved her, she might have feelings for him again.This was something Theresa didn't want to see since she felt that Sebastian didn't deserve Whitney. Hence, she chose not to say a word.After a while, Theresa left the ward, but Fergus rushed up to her. "Thank you, Ms. Livington."Theresa leaned against the wall and asked grumpily, "For what?""For not telling Whitney that it was Sebastian who saved her." Fergus smiled.Theresa frowned and said coldly, "Don't thank me. I'm different from you guys. I just don't wish to see them together again."With that, she walked toward the exit, hoping to get herself a cup of coffee. However, she bumped into Sebastian, whose face was pale and sweaty."Why are yo
Listening to Sebastian's tone and attitude, Whitney said discontentedly, "Isn't that right? How much longer do you plan on lying? "In the past, I might have doubted whatever you said. But my mom, brother, Mr. Cobb, even Mabel and Theresa clearly saw who saved me! "Sebastian, do you still wanna lie to me in front of so many people? Don't you realize how truly obnoxious you're being right now?"At this, Sebastian frowned, his expression shifting.Before he could speak, Crystal impatiently snapped, as if she were eager to shut him up, "Sebastian, enough! Quit putting on airs in front of us. "I never imagined you'd have the nerve to say you saved her right in front of all these people without batting an eye. How shameless!"Sebastian's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Are you all colluding against me?""What do you mean?" Dante protested. "Why do you speak so harshly, you trash? Are you suggesting that all of us would conspire to deceive my sister?"Mabel, who had always disl
"Ms. Livington, please be careful not to be swayed by his threats!" Fergus quickly interjected, nudging Theresa repeatedly."Well…" Theresa hesitated slightly, then took a deep breath and said firmly, "Whitney, the one who saved you was Dr. Caesar, not Sebastian. He didn't even show up!"As Theresa's words hung in the air, the ward fell silent. Sebastian's face stiffened, and his gaze turned complicated as he looked at Theresa, who avoided his eyes.He hadn't expected such a prideful woman like Theresa to stand with the likes of Fergus and Crystal, deliberately distorting the truth."Ms. Livington, do you understand what you're saying?" Sebastian's expression darkened.Crystal quickly chimed in, "Mr. Ballard! Did you hear that? Ms. Livington just said it was Dr. Caesar who saved Whitney. How long do you plan to keep up with this act?"After hearing Theresa's words, Fergus breathed a sigh of relief, his tense expression turning into a smirk."Sebastian, do you have anything else
The sound of a slap echoed in the ward as Whitney's hand landed heavily on Sebastian's face.The entire ward fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked at Whitney with astonishment. They never expected the usually poised and elegant Whitney to become so volatile. She even resorted to hitting Sebastian.It was something they could have never imagined.Sebastian stood there, stunned, feeling the heat on his cheek. He reached up to touch it, and a wry smile formed on his face.Did Whitney actually lose her temper and slap him for the sake of another man?In the past, even when he was misunderstood or scolded, Sebastian would just frown and let it go. But today, he had exhausted half his spiritual energy to save Whitney. Still, she would rather believe people's lies than trust her ex-husband of three years.Sebastian felt nothing but helplessness in his heart, and he smiled bitterly.Whitney was also feeling regretful now, and her hands trembled slightly. She didn't know what
It was Dahlia. "Mr. Cobb, you can keep the treatment fare," she said. "My grandpa said he didn't cure Ms. Sutton, so he won't accept it. Also, don't ever find him anymore in the future."Dahlie tossed the cash on the table and turned to leave.When she was leaving the ward, she turned to Whitney. The woman was kneeling on the floor, looking confused. "Ms. Sutton, I heard everything you said just now. Too bad, you've misunderstood your ex-husband."With that, she left.Whitney was stunned, as well as the rest of them in the ward.They knew that they had messed up this time.Fergus' face turned pale, but he quickly reacted and said, "Is this girl complaining that I gave her too little? How dare she say such things. Um, Winnie, you rest well. I'll go out and check." He tried to slip away, taking advantage of the situation. Crystal also hurriedly said, "Um, Fergus, I'll accompany you outside. What's Dr. Caesar up to, sending his granddaughter here to talk nonsense?"Seeing t
"What's the point? In your eyes, I'm just a liar through and through," Sebastian said coldly. He was thoroughly disappointed. The feeling of not being trusted was the worst, especially coming from Whitney, the woman he had lived with for three years."I…" Whitney hesitated, feeling anxious. She grabbed Sebastian's hand, urgently saying, "It's all my mom's doing. Besides, you never explained fully, either. You always say half of it and then leave. How can I trust you?"Sebastian's expression changed at her words. He turned his head, his gaze incredibly serious as he said bitterly, "So, it's my fault? Because I didn't explain enough?""No… that's not what I meant," Whitney hurriedly tried to explain.Sebastian shook off Whitney's hands and said coldly, "Ms. Sutton, there's no need for further explanation. Regardless of how your mom and others deceived you, you ultimately still believe them."In truth, you know it yourself. From the bottom of your heart, you never chose to trust
Whitney was taken aback. She slowly lifted her head to gaze into the distance as she wiped away her tears. Sighing, she stood up with a vacant look in her eyes and said, "I know."In her heart, Whitney understood how disappointed and resolute Sebastian looked when he left. It was as if each gaze was a knife stabbing her heart.She also knew that she and Sebastian could never go back to how things were before. In the past, she pursued success in her career, aiming to become the queen of the Steinberg business world. That was why she had let go of many things. But since the divorce, Whitney found that she couldn't seem to let go of Sebastian."What you need to do now is to pursue your dreams." Theresa reminded her.Tears glistened in Whitney's eyes as she replied, "I know. I want some time alone."With that, Whitney turned and walked away, riding the elevator alone to the hospital's rooftop.…Meanwhile, back in the ward, everyone was growing increasingly anxious.Upon return
After sitting for a while, Sebastian stood up, ready to leave the shop.However, the old man suddenly took out a document and threw it to Sebastian. "Take a look at this. I've found new clues about your mother." Sebastian was taken aback as he quickly opened the document and scanned it briefly.The old man continued calmly, "After your mother was driven out of the Ballard family, she came to Steinberg, but we don't know why. "My people found out that there was a group of people who once tried to kill your mother, saying she had something on her that shouldn't be brought out."Sebastian frowned, his expression changing drastically. A cold air emanated from him as he asked, "Who tried to kill my mother?""We haven't found out yet," the old man replied, shaking his head.Sebastian frowned, gripping the document tightly. He said coldly, "When you find out, inform me immediately.""You should focus on solving your current problems first."Sebastian sighed, knowing exactly what he
"It's a good thing I was here tonight. You may not be so lucky next time," Lyanna said. She got up to leave, but Rosalie rose hurriedly and called after her, "Wait!""Is there anything else?" Lyanna turned her head slightly and fixed her beautiful eyes on Rosalie."What kind of person is Sebastian? I mean…" After Lyanna had told her who she was, Rosalie felt as if her thoughts were in turmoil. Even Sebastian, whom she had always loved and admired, had suddenly become unfamiliar to her.If Sebastian had just been a traditional medicine doctor, she could have accepted it. However, now Sebastian was keeping a female spirit around him. Not only that, the spirit was his servant. This was beyond the scope of Rosalie's understanding. Sebastian was rapidly becoming like a riddle to her."Have you heard of sages? Mr. Ballard is probably like them," Lyanna said. In a flash, she had disappeared without a trace.Rosalie remained quiet for a long time before she started the engine once mor
The short, fat man who had smashed up Rosalie's car window tossed his rock aside and hurried over. His eyes were bulging as he looked greedily at the beautiful woman standing in front of them. She was just as pretty as Rosalie was."Boss, I deserve some credit for the work I've done, don't I? Can you give me this chick?" the short, fat man asked, rubbing his hands together as he licked his lips.Lyanna looked at Chet and the short, fat man. She covered her mouth and giggled as she said, "I don't know what kind of day it is, but I do know that next year, this will be your death anniversary! Which of you wants to die first?""I… Huh?" Chet had been about to lunge forward and grab Lyanna, but then he realized what she had said.It would be their death anniversary on this day next year? What did that mean?Before he could recover his senses, Lyanna tittered and nodded. "Alright, you'll die first."She flicked her sleeve aside and revealed her slender, pale hands. Her foot-long, brigh
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald
Terence wielded his sword. Wherever the blade pointed, the air was sliced apart instantly!Sebastian forced himself to concentrate and raised his sword to shield his chest!There was a clang as Terence's sword crashed down on Sebastian's, and sparks flew up at once. Sebastian couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt the energy roiling inside him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood."My lord!" Nina felt extremely anxious when she saw that Sebastian was at a disadvantage. She ignored Sebastian's previous command and leaped over to him to hold him up. "My lord, are you alright?" Nina asked in concern. Sebastian was slightly flushed, and he looked as if his energy was becoming erratic. He shook his head slightly and pushed Nina away. He handed Whitney to her and said, "Protect Whitney well. If anything happens to her, come and see me with your head!" Nina turned to Rose, who was beside her. She wanted to protest, but Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Lyanna was hur
"It's a pity that you'll never understand," Sebastian said.Terence's face flushed. Who would've expected a young man in his twenties like Sebastian to be so perceptive? He was even more advanced than Terence in the Way of Wisdom!"My lord, I was trapped in the front yard just now. No matter how I walked, I couldn't get through the door. That's why…" Lyanna trailed off and hung her head, looking shamefaced.Technically, she was a spirit. How had she fallen prey to the Bewitchment spell? Even Lyanna was puzzled."It's the Soulbell!" Sebastian turned abruptly to look at Terence.Lyanna felt that she couldn't have been trapped by the Bewitchment spell because she didn't actually have a body. Meanwhile, Nina was a thousand-year-old snake deity, and ordinary formations couldn't contain her at all.Therefore, there was only one possibility. Terence had external help. The Soulbell was the only possible explanation.Nina and Rose arrived as well."Protect Whitney," Sebastian said befor
Sebastian eyed the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. "You surprised me too. Do you want to be a sacrifice for my sword?"Sebastian gently shook Purity, which he was holding. Immediately, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the entire yard!Hank and the others began mocking him at once. "Ballard, you are bold out of ignorance. Do you know who is standing in front of you? Let me tell you, it's the seventh elder of Sword Towers, Mr. Manderly."One of them added, "Consider it an honor for you to be killed by Mr. Manderly."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and squinted at Terence as he said, "If I'm guessing correctly, Nina and the others must have fallen into your trap. That's why they haven't arrived yet. Right?""You're observant!" Terence smiled faintly and said, "If you hadn't stepped into Draconem Cathedral right before I did, you would be stuck in a Bewitchment trap, just like them."Honestly, it's a miracle for someone of your age to have this level of training. However,
While Taylor stood there, stunned, Sebastian bore down on him. Upon seeing Sebastian raising his fist to hit him once more, Taylor hastily pulled himself together and met Sebastian's punch with his own."Are… Are you all stupid?" Blood was seeping out of the back of Taylor's hand as he looked at the people behind him."You've always liked fighting alone, Taylor. We were afraid that we would spoil your fun." Despite what Hank said, he turned on his heel and sent a spinning kick at Sebastian to block his path.Sebastian felt a strong force rushing toward him, and he immediately stopped in the midst of pursuing Taylor. He moved aside and aimed a roundhouse kick at Hank. Yet another wave of energy exploded, and fear flashed across Hank's face. The blow had seemed plain, but it embodied the mysterious principles of martial arts.Even an expert who was two levels higher than Hank would have had his bones broken by that kick, let alone someone who was only at the first level of the Ce
