Whitney was confused by what Theresa had said. She asked in confusion, "I don't know what you mean.""Why don't you understand? If the Goldcrow pill kills someone, Frostwave Corporation's reputation will be severely damaged. As long as Frostwave Corporation becomes bankrupt, you'll have no choice but to get back together with him and live an indolent life like him!"Mabel nodded vigorously at Theresa's analysis. She said, "No wonder he gave the prescription to me so readily when I asked him for it! He must've been plotting this from the start! Ms. Sutton, he's such a terrible man!"Whitney said nothing. Although she looked calm, her heart was in complete turmoil!Was what Theresa said true? Had Sebastian been planning this from the start?No!No matter what, Whitney refused to believe what anyone said. As long as Sebastian could give her a logical explanation, she would forgive him for anything, no matter what he had done!However, she sincerely hoped that he wasn't that kind of
Sebastian turned to look at Whitney and smiled bitterly as he said, "If you really did trust me, you wouldn't be asking. Go ahead. Is there another problem?"Whitney heard the icy tone in his voice, and she saw how distant his eyes were as he looked at her. She felt a bitterness in her heart.Was Sebastian still the man who had obeyed her every whim and always showed her the most tender care?"Sebastian, we were together for three years. Do you really have to treat me this way?" she asked.Then, she added, "Yes, I admit it. There's been another little problem, and I do need your help. But before all that, I just want to know if the Goldcrow pill prescription is yours or not."I won't blame you no matter how you got your hands on it. Even if I lose everything, I just want to get back our—"Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Stop talking. The past is the past, and we don't need to bring it up."Whitney stared dazedly at him, and her eyes grew wet. "Se
That was what gave Theresa her confidence."So? What are you trying to say?" Sebastian said coldly.Theresa snorted and said, "I just want to tell you that what you just said is ridiculous. The only thing that needs to be done to save the patient is to clear his vital points and neutralize the medicinal effects in the patient's body." Sebastian sneered and said, "Fine, go ahead and do it then. What vital points should be pricked? How many inches should the needles be plunged in? Didn't that damn professor of yours teach you that?"Don't even try to lord it over me with your PhD in medicine! Even the foreign trash who taught you traditional medicine is worth less than shit to me, let alone you! "How can you use medical equipment to test the principles behind traditional medicine? Leave! I won't be sending you off!" Sebastian turned and walked behind the register. He didn't even want to look at Theresa."You—" Theresa turned red, then white. Sebastian could insult her, even h
Sebastian nodded slightly and got up. He said, "Alright. I'll be right back."He walked out of the store and disappeared into the night.As she watched him leave, Janet asked in confusion, "Ms. Griffin, I really don't understand. Why are you so nice to Whitney? You're rivals in love."Isn't it a good thing to let Frostwave Corporation close down because of this medicine issue? Besides, with this as a barrier between them, she'll never remarry Dr. Ballard."Even Janet, who was an outsider, could see very clearly that Whitney was letting her defenses down to Sebastian. It was clear that she wanted to patch things up with him.Anyone who was in Rosalie's shoes would never let Sebastian help Whitney.Rosalie smiled and shook her head as she said, "No, I'm not helping Whitney. I'm only giving Sebastian freedom."The relationship that I truly want is one that has no sense of restrictions and is free of any verbal threats. If I force him to stay with me, neither of us would be happy."
"I rushed over specially to see if there's anything I can do to help," Jace said. "I heard that if you use the acupuncture technique found on the National Doctors website to clear the meridians after taking the Goldcrow pill, the patient will be fine, so I brought Gandolf along. Let him give the patient acupuncture later, and the patient will be alright." Jace had taken them all by surprise. Even Theresa and Mabel were impressed. Compared to how indifferent Sebastian had been, Jace was the perfect Prince Charming. Not only did he have an impressive family background, but he was also very helpful. The most important thing was that Jace was very handsome. Even Theresa looked at him with admiration in her eyes. "Oh my, you're such a gentleman, Mr. Beckard. Ms. Sutton was hesitating about whether to call you for help just now. We never expected you to…" Mabel was so overcome with excitement that she didn't know what to say.Whitney felt very touched. She was about to nod and accep
Whitney's gaze sharpened, and she stopped in her tracks. She frowned and said, "Theresa, I have a feeling that only Sebastian will be able to save the patient."I'm going to call him again later and try. Even if I have to get on my knees to beg him, I have to make sure that nothing will go wrong." Whitney was clearly uncertain. After all, she wasn't a hundred percent sure that Sebastian would be able to do anything. It was just that deep in her heart, she hoped that Sebastian would come. That was the only way she could see a shred of hope in getting remarried to him.Was Frostwave Corporation important to her? Yes, it was!However, the heartrending pain she had felt after losing Sebastian made it almost impossible for her to breathe."Oh, Whit. Why don't you get it? Sebastian is obviously scared. He doesn't have any medical skills at all."If he is really that skilled, why haven't we ever seen him publish any articles in international medical journals? There are barely any peo
"That's nonsense!" Before Whitney could speak, Mabel stood forward.The reporter sneered and pulled out a photo of Nathan that had been taken when he was in critical condition. "Am I talking nonsense, or are you deliberately concealing the side effects of the medicine?""I'm sure you're familiar with the gentleman in this photo. Do I need to expose his identity?"Mabel's gaze swept over the old man in the photo, and her pupils constricted at once. She stood there, struck dumb with fear!The evidence was irrefutable!The other reporters immediately raised their cameras and pointed them at Whitney as they said, "Ms. Sutton, your company knew that the efficacy of the Goldcrow pill is extremely unstable, but you still announced to the public that it can cure all diseases. Were you deliberately lying to the consumers?"Even Whitney was at a loss as to how to react to such an accusation. However, the evidence was laid out in front of them.When Nathan had almost died, logically Frostw
The reporters hadn't expected Whitney to faint all of a sudden, and they stood there in a daze. Theresa and Mabel hastily picked Whitney up and ran toward the emergency room. "Doctor, Doctor! Please save her!" Very soon, a bunch of medical staff came rushing over to push Whitney into the emergency room. After more than ten minutes, the doors opened suddenly, and a doctor in a white coat strode out. He said to Theresa and Mabel, "Where is the patient's family?" "I'm here!" Both women answered and hurried up to him. The patient is in a very dangerous condition, and she could die at any moment. We need her relatives to sign this before we begin emergency rescue."The doctor handed them a medical disclaimer and gave a pen to Theresa."I…" Theresa hesitated. After all, this was a matter of life and death, and she had no right to sign. She had a PhD in medicine and had studied abroad. She knew that doctors would not request for such a medical disclaimer to be signed unless the
"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
