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
"Where's Winnie? What happened? She was fine this morning!" Crystal said anxiously as she rushed to the emergency room entrance and grabbed Theresa's hand. Before Theresa could speak, Mabel said through gritted teeth, "It's all because of that scumbag, Sebastian!""If it weren't for him, things would never have progressed to this point. Ms. Sutton wouldn't have had a flare up, either!"When Crystal heard that it had something to do with Sebastian again, she was furious."Tell me what happened!"Mabel told her what had happened, embellishing the story lavishly.However, she cut out the part where the reporters had interrogated Whitney and pushed the blame entirely onto Sebastian.Theresa frowned, and she opened her mouth to speak a few times.The truth was that Sebastian wasn't entirely at fault. However, as Mabel had said, if he had just agreed to help, then Whitney wouldn't have been put in such a situation, and she wouldn't have had a flare-up.Therefore, Theresa held her to
Dante added. "That's right! How could a loser like Sebastian know anything? The medicine he left won't be able to cure Winnie."Besides, isn't the hospital getting ready to operate on her? As soon as we sign, she can get the operation."Theresa frowned. She couldn't help but think about the time when Whitney got caught in the rain. It had been Sebastian's needle technique that had saved her!Was Sebastian telling the truth? Did Whitney really have some kind of cold energy inside her?Theresa spoke heavily, "Mrs. Sutton, I advise you not to let Whit have the operation. I'm sure you remember what happened when she got caught in the rain. If we had believed the hospital at the time, Whit would probably already be…"Crystal's heart clenched. It was as Theresa had said. Whitney had shown the same symptoms before. At the time, they had asked someone from Medcity to come, but in the end, it was Sebastian who had saved Whitney's life.Crystal hesitated and said, "Theresa, do you mean t
Who knew what would happen if Whitney took vitamins in this state?If anything happened to Whitney and the police got involved, they might find out that Mabel had tampered with the medicine. The Suttons would never let her get away with it."What medicine? If they want Whitney to take it, then let her," Fergus said rather impatiently.Fergus was currently with his father, Simon, and he was trying to boast to him of his achievements. After all, he had personally met with Jace that day, and there were hints that he could reach an agreement with the Beckards.That was excellent news for the Cobbs! "You've forgotten? That's the medicine you told me to switch! If Whitney takes it and anything happens to her, I'll be their prime suspect," Mabel explained everything to him once more.When she had seen the bottle of pills that Sebastian had left in Whitney's office, Fergus had told her to keep a close eye on it. That was why Mabel always kept a bottle of vitamins with her.Fergus' hear
Theresa took the bottle of pills from Dante, opened it, and peered inside. She sniffed it.The bottle emanated an herbal medicinal scent, but very quickly, a strong, sweet smell rushed into her nostrils."A coat of sugar?" Theresa frowned slightly and poured some of the pills into her hand. She studied them for a long time before picking one up and placing it carefully in her mouth."That can't be right! This isn't medicine at all. They're vitamins!" Theresa turned her head to look at Mabel.If the bottle of medicine had contained the medicine that Sebastian had left for Whitney, she would never have thrown it out and replaced it with vitamins!The only person who was in close contact with Whitney was Mabel."Ms. Livington, why are you looking at me like that? I-I've never touched Ms. Sutton's drawer. You can't possibly suspect me of switching the medicine, can you?" Mabel said evasively. Theresa frowned and looked at her closely. At that moment, Fergus arrived on the scene
At that moment, everything seemed to become clear to Theresa."Ms. Livington, I don't know what you mean," Mabel explained weakly, giving Theresa an awkward smile. Theresa sneered and looked at Whitney on the hospital bed. She shook her head slightly. "Don't worry, Ms. Lucero. I won't expose you. "However, Whit is my best friend, and I don't want anything that endangers her to happen again. Otherwise, I will reveal everything that you and Fergus did without holding anything back."You should know how important Whit is to the Suttons. If anything happens to her, do you think the Suttons will let you escape unscathed?"Mabel broke out in a cold sweat at what Theresa had said. Nevertheless, she had never expected Theresa to help her keep it a secret.The truth was that when Theresa finally realized what was going on, her impression of Sebastian had changed drastically as well.If it was all just a plot, it would mean that Sebastian did have medical skills. Someone like him was
When Fergus saw Sebastian heading toward the emergency room, he immediately blocked his path. "Ballard, Winnie is my fiancée. Stay away from her—"Before he could finish, Sebastian slapped him so hard that he was sent flying and landed over three feet away. Sebastian didn't even bother to look twice at him as he walked toward the emergency room. Mabel felt guilty when she saw Sebastian. She tactfully retreated to the doorway, but Theresa hurried up to him. She grabbed his arm and led him to the hospital bed.Sebastian frowned in confusion at her actions. Theresa had always treated him very coldly. In fact, she was downright hostile! However, she was clearly acting very differently toward him right now."Sebastian, come and take a look at Whit! What has happened to her?" Theresa hadn't noticed the change in his expression as she led him to Whitney's bed.Sebastian gently pushed her hand away from his arm and looked down at Whitney. "Huh? What happened? What did you give her?"S
Fergus shook his arm defiantly. Then, he turned and left the hospital room.Mabel followed him out quickly.When Crystal saw Fergus striding out angrily, she was a little worried that the marriage alliance between the Cobbs and the Suttons would be canceled because Sebastian and Whitney were alone in the room together. Crystal's eyes gleamed cunningly as she thought of an idea. "Theresa, please watch over Winnie." Then, she turned to Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, Theresa has a PhD in medicine. She can stay, right?"Before Sebastian could speak, Theresa urged Crystal, "Don't worry, Mrs. Sutton. I'll take care of Whit. I'll make sure nothing happens to her."Crystal was reassured and shut the door behind her.Outside, she smiled ingratiatingly at Fergus and said, "Mr. Cobb, don't worry. Theresa's in there, and if anything happens or if Sebastian tries anything with Winnie, Theresa won't just stand by and do nothing."Fergus harrumphed. He looked through the window at Sebastia
"What is your name, sir?" the bodyguard in the lead asked, smiling as he handed Sebastian a cigarette."Sebastian Ballard." As there was a child in the car and the windows were all closed, Sebastian waved the cigarette away."I've never heard of you before!" The bodyguard gave him a name card and said, "My name is Daxton Haddock!"Sebastian took the name card and smiled at Daxton. "I'm not from Boren. I just came here for a trip to Mount Quiln."Daxton was startled. Although the area around Mount Quiln was a popular tourist area, strange things had been happening there continuously since autumn the year before. No one had come there for a holiday for more than half a year."Mr. Ballard, are you confident of being able to save Ms. Candy?" Daxton asked rather worriedly. After all, even Solomon had said that there was no cure for a condition like hers. Sebastian was a young man in his 20s who looked very confident. It was hard not to be doubtful.Sebastian shook his head slightl
Solomon became agitated when he heard that Sebastian wanted to go to the abandoned mine. He tried to dissuade him. "You must not put yourself in danger, my young friend. Even others would have run into ghosts if they didn't heed warnings."The young man glanced at Solomon and said, "Dr. Jackman, they all say that you're a kind-hearted person. Why are you stopping others from trying to save Ms. Candy when you refuse to do so yourself?"Solomon turned red and sighed. "There was a huge mining accident there 30 years ago, and it's always been tainted with evil. To tell you the truth, my younger brother also didn't heed the warnings and—"Tears slid down Solomon's cheeks. Solomon's younger brother had endangered himself ten years ago to try and cure someone's illness. However, he had been carried back on a stretcher three days after that.He had been in the same state as the little girl and Candy. His eyes had been vacant, and he had neither eaten nor drunk nor slept. After just three
"Yes, we have. Mrs. Wilham from our village is a medium, but she says that she can't cure this child and asked us to look for someone else," the middle-aged woman said and started crying again."What else did she say?" Sebastian asked, bending down to look carefully at the little girl.The middle-aged woman hesitated for a long time before she stuttered, "Actually… Mrs. Wilham says that t-there's no hope for our child anymore! She can only live three more days at most!"Before the middle-aged woman could finish speaking, there was a screech of brakes outside the door. Right after that, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and over a dozen young men in suits barged in."Which of you is Dr. Solomon Jackman?" the young man in the lead yelled urgently.Solomon answered quickly, "It's me!"The young man waved quickly at the people behind him and said, "Hurry!"Soon, a young woman who was about 20 years old was carried inside.The young woman was pretty, and she was wearing clo
The two apothecaries immediately tossed their brooms aside. One helped the middle-aged woman to open the door while the other took the child from her arms."Time to see a patient, Dr. Larsen!" one of the apothecaries called out to an old doctor as he carried the child inside.The old doctor pushed his glasses up his nose and eyed the mother and daughter. He walked slowly over to the consultation table and sat down."Don't worry, ma'am. What's wrong with the child?" the doctor, Ellis Larsen, asked the middle-aged woman. At that moment, Sebastian and Unus walked into Townsend Clinic together. On the way there, Sebastian had remained focused on the little girl because the look in her eyes was highly abnormal. "Doctor, I don't know what's happened to her. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything since last night, and she doesn't say a word no matter what I ask her. All she does is to stare vacantly into space!" the middle-aged woman said tearfully to Ellis. Ellis couldn't help drawing i
Javier had gone to Sunway for a meeting and was not in Acorn City. Whatever the old man said would be representative of Javier. "Mr. Gabbard, we can't let him go!""Yes, Mr. Gabbard. He's caused such a fuss at the Martial Arts Court that he should at least get both legs broken before we can let him go!""Besides, he injured Mr. Lynch! How will we explain to Mr. Berkeley when he gets back?"A few of the younger deacons protested. "I've already said that these two gentlemen may leave. Anyone who tries to stop them will be executed without mercy!" Cohen Gabbard was furious. Didn't these idiots know how to read the room? Did they have to carry out flattery no matter what the situation was?Didn't they know who the minced meat all over the floor belonged to? Who else could they be except the missing deacons?No matter how they had done it, someone who was able to smash a living person into mincemeat must be extremely powerful indeed. Even if they tried to tie Sebastian and Un
There was a dull thwack. The deacon in the lead didn't even have time to turn and escape before he was squashed into mincemeat by a single punch from Unus. Gleaming blood and flesh scattered everywhere. The rest of them tried to escape when they saw what had happened, but their speed couldn't compare to that of Unus. Before they could get to the door, Unus' fist had already reached them.There was a series of thumps as four or five deacons were all crushed. Blood and lumps of flesh fell all over the floor. The smell of blood hung heavily in the interrogation room.Jayden and Bryson cowered in a corner, trembling.Unus couldn't be human! How could it have reduced a live person to mincemeat with just one punch?As Jayden and Bryson looked on, Unus walked up to Sebastian expressionlessly. He raised his hand and tugged lightly on the chains that bound Sebastian tightly. They immediately broke into numerous pieces.Sebastian stood up and stretched before walking in Colton's directi
"Mr. Lynch! Are you alright?" The deacons surrounded Colton at once.Colton had been very unlucky that day. Not only had Sebastian beaten him half to death, but he had even been injured in the head once again by him, even though Sebastian was chained. When Colton noticed how much he was bleeding, he lost it completely. "Kill him!" he roared in fury, looking crazed. The deacons exchanged looks. They knew how skillful Bryson was. However, Bryson was unable to stand against Sebastian, and it made the deacons even more afraid to move forward.Although Colton was the heir of the Lynch family, it wouldn't be worth getting their arms and legs broken by Sebastian just to flatter him. "Go and get him, damn it! I'll give you money! Each person will get one million. Beat him to death!"Colton was very agitated. He yelled at the top of his voice at Sebastian while pointing at him with his crutch. As the saying went, there would always be a hero when there was a big reward. Upon hearin
A faintly murderous light flashed in Sebastian's eyes, and the deacons felt a chilling murderous energy. The deacon who had been pointing at Sebastian with a steel rod couldn't help stepping backward. He took a long time to recover. Sebastian was bound tightly in chains that were as thick as a man's thumb, and he had been cuffed to the steel chair. There was no way that he could fight back at all.The deacon felt annoyed at being scared by someone in that state, and he pointed at Sebastian with his steel rod again and shouted, "You must be tired of living, you brat! How dare you say Mr. Wentworth's name?""Even Joaquin wouldn't dare to speak to me in that manner," Sebastian said calmly.If Joaquin knew that Sebastian had been arrested by deacons from the Mount Acorn Martial Arts Court, he would kill them all without hesitation!"You're very arrogant! Mr. Lynch specifically mentioned this object. I'll give you five thousand dollars, and you can send it to him. Do you have any obje
"You said that Mr. Lynch wanted to take something that belonged to you. Where is the object?" the deacon in the lead asked, sneering. Sebastian pointed at his shirt pocket and said, "Here!" The deacon pulled out the emerald buckle from Sebastian's pocket. He weighed it in his hand and waved at the other deacons, saying, "Take him away!"When Jayden saw that Sebastian had been marched off by deacons from the Martial Arts Court, he called an ambulance for Colton. Luckily, Colton was from an elite martial arts family. Despite being spoiled, he had at least trained in martial arts, which was why he wasn't as frail as an ordinary person would be. Otherwise, he would have succumbed to his injuries long ago.Bryson and the others were also carried into the ambulance by the medical staff. Solomon sighed as he watched Sebastian leave. Although the Martial Arts Court appeared to be upholding the law, they were actually in cahoots with the Lynches. Now that Sebastian had been taken by t
