Sebastian looked coldly at Matt. His voice was as cold as ice as he said, "Matt, you can't possibly think that you can leave this place alive, do you?""What?" Matt looked up sharply, and when he met Sebastian's eyes, he saw a murderous glint in them. "Y-You would dare to kill me?" Matt couldn't believe that Sebastian would kill.He had assumed that he would be the only one who would hire assassins to murder Sebastian and that the latter would never be bold enough to do so.After all, Sebastian was just a business owner in a small place like Steinberg. It was clear what committing murder would mean for someone like him. "You're good at picking the right place and time for murder. It's dark, there's a strong wind, and it's a good time to kill," Sebastian sneered as he looked up at the quiet woods around them."No… Sebastian, you can't kill me! I-I'm begging you, let me go! I know that I made a mistake!" Matt burst into terrified tears. He didn't want to die! He still had so mu
With that said, Liam snorted coldly and went into the ward."Zeke, what's going on?" Steinberg's mayor, Larys Compton, walked quietly to the ward and asked him."Mr. Holman is too reckless. Not only did he not invite Mr. Ballard, he even got physical with him. If not for Mr. Whitaker Senior, it…" Zeke sighed without finishing his words."Jeez, Liam." Larys frowned and paced in the ward. "Are you sure Sebastian can treat Mr. Holman Senior?""I can guarantee."Zeke whispered into Larys' ear in a low voice, and he looked distressed. After all, he was a man, and it was quite a blow to a man's ego when faced with problems down there.Larys nodded and said. "Call Sebastian again. It's best if he can come here now. Mr. Holman Senior's condition is not looking good."Zeke gulped, and he replied, "Mr. Compton, if you were there to witness the whole scene, you would've known how bad it was. If it was me, I wouldn't come as well.""Zeke, we're talking about Mr. Holman Senior's safety here
Although Jonah was unsure of the extent of Sebastian's medical skills, he believed that Wyatt should have been temporarily out of danger. How could it be that after just one night, Wyatt was critically ill again?"Dr. Pike… Sebastian refuses to come," Liam said heavily through gritted teeth."Mr. Holman, Dr. Ballard can't be that stubborn. How did you ask him?" Jonah asked with a frown."Um…" Liam felt a pang of guilt but had to recount the situation truthfully for the sake of his grandfather's health."What? Mr. Holman, is that how you ask for help? That's not inviting, that's coercion!" Jonah's last words were nearly a shout.Liam was now deeply remorseful, and he pleaded, "Dr. Pike, it's all my fault, but my grandfather is really in critical condition. I beg you, please save him."As he spoke, a few tears rolled down Liam's face.Jonah sighed helplessly and said, "Mr. Holman, to be honest, it's not that I don't want to save your grandfather. It's just that my skills are lim
Sebastian immediately turned to Janet, who was cleaning nearby, and said, "Stop cleaning and see our guest out."Janet hurriedly set down the cloth and stepped forward, her expression stern. "Sir, please leave. You are not welcome here."Though Janet didn't know exactly what had happened, she had gleaned a rough idea from Rosalie. She had never warmed up to Liam, given his privileged background and haughty demeanor."So what if he's from Janover?" Janet thought. Even if someone important asked Sebastian for medical help, they should show proper respect!Liam gulped and took a deep breath. "Dr. Ballard, yesterday was all my fault. I'll do whatever you ask, but my grandfather can't hold on much longer. Please, Dr. Ballard, I beg you. Save my grandfather."As Liam spoke, he tried to walk past Janet."What's wrong with you? Can't you understand? Leave!" Janet stepped forward and blocked Liam's path.Liam glanced at Janet, clenched his fists, but obediently retreated to the doorway
"Dr. Ballard, I'm sorry. Please save my grandfather. He… He's not going to make it." Tears rolled down Liam's cheeks.When he started kneeling there, he had already made up his mind to remain there until Sebastian agreed to help him.Sebastian had already heard about Wyatt's condition from Nathan. The Stabilizing Charm he had been preparing inside was for Wyatt.The reason why he was so cold to Liam was to teach him a lesson. However, Sebastian was touched by Liam's willingness to kneel just to save his grandfather. It showed how much Liam loved his grandfather.Thinking of this, Sebastian pulled Liam up."Dr. Ballard." Liam looked at Sebastian with anticipation."Alright. Mr. Holman, bring me to Mr. Holman Senior," Sebastian spoke up slowly."Have you really forgiven me?" Liam asked, his eyes still red and teary.Sebastian nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his gaze toward Liam. To save his loved ones, he could cast aside all worldly concerns and even relinquish all prid
After all, Ronny was the most famous doctor in Sunway. If not for the director, Joe Stackhouse, Ronny wouldn't have come all the way to treat Wyatt.However, Ronny was also helpless when it came to Wyatt's condition."Thank you, Mr. Stackhouse," Liam said to the director, adding, "But Dr. Ballard can treat my grandfather."It was clear that Liam had changed his attitude and tone toward Sebastian, and he wasn't as arrogant as before."What? Who's Dr. Ballard? Nobody can guarantee to cure Mr. Holman Senior." Ronny looked at Liam angrily.He added, "Mr. Holman Senior has a piece of shrapnel in his lungs, and even the most advanced technology couldn't retrieve it. As long as it remains, no medication can help."Sebastian chuckled lightly and said, "It's only one small piece. It's not that serious, is it?"What? Only a small piece?Ronny's face darkened when he heard that."I'm starting to doubt your medical skills. Do you know what this means? It means his organs will shut down! E
Ronny found Sebastian's words to be meaningless.Wyatt was a higher-up in Janover's military region. He wouldn't have waited until now if he could be treated. It was impossible that the doctors in Janover were not as competent as Sebastian.Sebastian frowned when he saw Wyatt's pale face and weak breathing. It seemed like Wyatt's condition was even worse than he had expected.Sebastian initially planned to use the Stabilizing Charm to take the shrapnel out, then proceed with acupuncture. However, he had to stabilize Wyatt's condition first."In Mr. Holman Senior's current condition, we shouldn't remove the shrapnel first. Instead, we need to stabilize his vital energy to prevent any accidents. Would you agree, sir?" Sebastian turned to Ronny."Hmph! Easy for you to say. Even I'm not confident about this, and you're just a young upstart. How could you possibly stabilize his condition? Besides, his issues aren't limited to lung failure; his internal organs are showing signs of compl
Ronny put on his reading glasses and carefully examined the herb. Still uncertain, he turned to Sebastian. "Dr. Ballard, do you think this herb is a century old?"After seeing Sebastian's prescription, Ronny's attitude toward him had completely changed. He now regarded Sebastian with the respect of a student toward a mentor.Sebastian glanced at the snow lily in the box and nodded slightly. "Yes, this is indeed a hundred-year-old snow lily."Seeing Sebastian confirm it, Liam was overjoyed. "Dr. Ballard, does this mean my grandfather can be saved?""Yes, let's start by having him take this medicinal decoction," Sebastian replied with a firm nod."That's wonderful! My grandfather will be saved. Dr. Ballard, if you can save him, our entire family will be eternally grateful to you," Liam said respectfully."It's just a small effort. No need for such gratitude, Mr. Holman. However, only the root of this snow lily should be used, not the petals. Using the petals could harm Mr. Holman S
