Philip ran straight into the hospital. His face instantly paled when he saw Wynn lying in the hospital bed. There were a few other people gathered in the room. His mother and father-in-law, Martha and Charles, stared at Philip unpleasantly. They desperately wished for this good-for-nothing to disappear from their life forever.Lynn and her parents were present in the room as well, each of them giving Philip an odd look as if he had committed a huge mistake while they muttered to each other under their breaths.“How’s Wynn?” Philip asked as he jogged toward the hospital bed. However…Slap! A crisp smack rang through the air. Martha had slapped Philip across the face angrily. Her face turned red with anger as she set her frosty gaze on him. “How dare you show your face here again? Look what you did to Wynnie! I will never forgive you if anything happens to my daughter!” Martha shrieked as she began throwing punches at Philip, venting all her anger and grievances on him.
Listening to Philip's scream felt as painful as having thorns all over your body.When Philip stopped talking, the atmosphere in the ward became heavy. Just then, Juan, who had gone out, returned. He saw that everyone was present, including Philip. “How dare you come here?” Juan grabbed Philip angrily by his collar. “Haven’t you done enough to Wynn? Why are you even here?” Juan did not want to see someone as useless as Philip here.If it were not for him wanting to show off, would Wynn be in the state she was in now? Philip shook free of Juan’s grasp and glared at him, his eyes dark as he spoke, “Juan, what business do you have here? Wynn is my wife, you get out of here!” When in front of his in-laws, Philip had no choice. However, in front of Juan, he could never be vulnerable. “Shut up!” Charles spoke up at this point. He pointed toward the door as he bellowed at Philip, “You’re the one who needs to get out!” Lynn watched in silence as she tapped on her phone, rep
A divorce? The way Wynn uttered those words… She seemed so calm. Philip’s heart thudded. Silently, he rested his hands on his knees. He could not stop them from shaking slightly. At that moment, he could only feel a buzzing in his brain. The word ‘divorce’ would not stop repeating in his ears. He forgot to breathe, and he forgot to respond.Wynn was too disappointed in him. “Philip, I really can’t hold on any longer. I don’t want to go on like this. I don’t want to live in constant fear, worrying about the next day every single day, worrying about Mila’s condition every day. I gave you a year, and you said you would give me an answer. Yet, you have let me down so much now.” Wynn cried out helplessly, tears dripping from her eyes. The Philip she once loved deeply had become deplorable and dispirited. He had become repulsive, disgusting, and despicable to her. Philip raised his gaze, his eyes red as he asked, “Wynn, can you forgive me this time? I’ll change, I’ll try m
Well, you’re a tough guy now, huh? You even dare to yell at me now? Philip Clarke, don’t you even think about entering my house ever again! There will be no door open for you!” Martha had her hand on her waist as she shouted, pointing at Philip’s departing figure. “What are you doing? This is a hospital, shouting is not allowed!” A nurse walked over with a cold expression on her face and reprimanded them. Startled and angry, Martha tugged unreasonably onto Charles as she sobbed, “Charlie, you saw what happened. Philip is so unreasonable now. He even dares to shout at me now. From now on, in this family, he and I will not coexist.” Martha was simply furious. Since when did a loser dare come up to her and talk to her in that manner? “Alright, alright. Why don’t you stop saying so much as well. Do we have to add to this problem?” Charles said helplessly.After decades, it was natural that he understood Martha’s temperament. Philip was way too rude! No matter the circumstanc
Philip walked in and placed the lunch box on the table. Then, he picked up an apple and began peeling it while listening to Juan and Wynn’s conversation in silence. Juan and Wynn pretended that they did not see Philip, treating him like he was thin air. “Are you sure, Brother Juan? It’s Professor… Professor Henry Turner?” Wynn appeared to be unusually excited, her eyes sparkling like stars and her gaze burning. She knew about Henry Turner. He was regarded as the top cardiologist internationally with the title of being a medical titan. Back when Mila first got diagnosed, Wynn had looked up all relevant information. It could be said that Professor Henry Turner was the sage of the medical profession. If they really could get him to treat Mila, then her illness would be 100% curable. However, the catch was that they would have to manage to hire him. Not anyone could meet with a medical titan. Wynn knew profoundly how much energy and how many connections must have been use
The pheasant doctor that Philip hired would probably begin trembling from shock after seeing Henry Turner. Therefore, it was obvious that Juan said this just to see Philip make a fool of himself. It was simply out of his league to fight with Juan. Philip’s brows knitted together. He had only said what he said because he did not want to be underestimated by Juan and misunderstood by Wynn.However, Juan’s aggressiveness made Philip feel very uncomfortable. Should he tell them? Philip did not want to burst their bubble. Sighing, he said, “Forget it, as long as you’re happy.” Philip did not want to upset anyone. After all, his mother-in-law had been very concerned about Juan lately.If he provoked Martha, there would not be anything good in store for him. Besides, he had gone to the doctor for his daughter. For that matter, Philip did not feel the need to humiliate Juan. However, this was the only exception. “Haha, Philip, you’re a funny one,” Juan said as he laughed
What was Philip doing here? Not only that, he was standing beside Professor Henry Turner. What was going on? Juan was confused. Was it possible that Philip and Juan knew each other? That was impossible! How would a reputable medical guru like Professor Turner know a wimp like Philip? Professor Henry Turner was startled. He did not know Juan Parker, but he did know his father. To be honest, they did not even really know each other. They simply had a few connections in common. It was because he liked jade and had bought quite a few jade pieces to display in his house. Once, when he was at Golden City, Henry received a beautiful piece of jade from Robert. It was an extremely rare piece made from green dragon jade, thus Henry remembered this favor. Just a few days ago, Robert had contacted him personally. He said something about his son’s friend’s daughter suffering from congenital heart disease and begged him to take a look at her condition.Did they think that any pers
Philip did not say anything. Instead, he laughed in resignation as he turned around to leave. Martha was still muttering to herself. “What a sight for sore eyes.” Henry’s brows furrowed. Was this Mr. Clarke’s mother-in-law? She was so spirited and rude.Mr. Clarke was really unlucky to have such a mother-in-law. “Wait!” Henry called out to Philip and stood in front of him. He was not happy with the way this mother-in-law was acting. Thus, he wanted to do something for Mr. Clarke. “Who is this?” Henry’s tone was cold as he spoke to Juan. Juan immediately responded in a complimentary manner, “Professor Turner, this is…” Before the introductions could be finished, Martha began scolding unreasonably, “Who are you, you old grouch! What, do you want to speak up for that wimp?” Old grouch? Everyone present was dumbfounded! This was the first time that Henry had been scolded in such a manner in his many years of practicing medicine. At that moment, he was so angry th
No one thought highly of Moray, and they did not even know what level he was at, but they knew he was not that strong or he would not have ended up in this miserable state. The stone man waved his hand calmly, and Moray fell to the ground, gasping heavily with fear in his eyes. Moray thought he could easily take the stone man down with that sneak attack, but he was sorely mistaken. The stone man was much stronger than he imagined. “I hate sneak attacks the most. Since you think so highly of yourself, go to hell.” The stone man engulfed Moray in the black energy, and Moray died before he could do anything. Philip watched the scene indifferently without taking it to heart at all. Moray’s death had nothing to do with him. The merfolk were in disbelief. They watched the scene with conflicted emotions but had to accept reality in the end. After going through so much, they were disappointed in Moray and had long wanted to leave him. Now that he was dead, they could finally choo
The stone man fell silent at Philip’s remark. He felt as if Philip was staring at his stone core and could rip him apart at any second. More importantly, he was different from ordinary practitioners of other races. He would die once he lost his stone core, and he could forget about taking over another person’s body to resurrect again. He simply wanted to become stronger, not look for trouble. “H-How did you know?” His eyes flashed with fear, clearly scared. Many people around heard Philip’s remark. They looked at the stone man thoughtfully. Since Philip was here, the stone man could not do much. In that case, they could find a way to kill the stone man. They could leave once they get the so-called stone core from the stone man. “Philip, do you mean we can leave once we get that stone core?” Lyle asked thoughtfully. He was curious because this was the first time he had heard of the stone core. Philip nodded. That was indeed the case. Suddenly, Moray, the merfolk chief, spr
“How can we leave this place?” Philip looked around but found no exit. The arrogant stone man had to tell them or no one could leave. Hearing that crucial question, everyone pricked up their ears expectantly. They could not wait to find the way out. The stone man sneered at Philip’s reaction. “Do you want to leave? Forget it. Maybe I can destroy the barrier and take you out if my strength improves, but I can’t do it at my current level. “My initial plan was to kill all of you and level up. By that time, all your flesh and blood will be part of me, so me leaving is the same as you leaving.” Philip frowned when he heard about the barrier. He closed his eyes and observed his surroundings. Sure enough, something was blocking his senses. The stone man noticed Philip’s reaction. He smiled smugly as if he had Philip in his grasp. The stone man always felt that Philip was a force to be reckoned with. On top of that, Philip was very smart. He had to know some secrets that he did n
Philip could not read their minds, but he was not interested in their opinions anyway. After all, they were nothing in his eyes. “Philip, you’re finally back. Where did that guy take you? Were you trapped in some secret realm?” When Philip appeared, Aslan approached him and handed some roasted meat to him. Aslan did many things in the last six hours, including grilling several rounds of meat. Philip took the food and glanced at Aslan. “I found a good training ground, and all of you can’t escape from that place. Get ready to be tortured.” He smiled as he took a bite of meat. Only he and Rabbit knew how dangerous that place was. Although it was no big deal for Philip, it would be a nightmare for ordinary practitioners. Aslan patted his chest confidently, not afraid at all. “What matters is your safe return. As for us, we can do anything. That guy threatened to eat us if you didn’t return in six hours!” Aslan told Philip everything that happened while he was away, and some
Although Rabbit was afraid, he felt Philip’s anger. As creatures of flesh and blood, this scene was so shocking that anyone would want to tear the murderer into pieces. More importantly, the corpses looked similar to humans, so Philip empathized with them. Apart from the ears that looked different from humans, the rest were similar. Philip went up along the river and soon heard someone talking. He saw several burly guys chatting. Although they were of different races, he could understand what they were saying. “Where did you come from?” The burly guys looked at Philip in confusion. They thought they had killed everyone, but another one popped up. However, they quickly noticed the difference between Philip and those people. He was not one of them. “Did you kill all these people?” Philip did not answer the question but asked in puzzlement. These people reeked of blood. They were obviously the murderers, but Philip wanted to hear it from them. The guys laughed arrogantly
After getting rid of the crocodile, Philip jumped up and returned to the shore with Rabbit. Although he had been fighting in the water for a while, Philip was not wet at all—a stark contrast with Rabbit. “Philip, are your clothes waterproof? Maybe I should see if I can make my fur waterproof?” After he was back to safety, Rabbit started shooting his mouth off excitedly again. He never thought he could survive. Philip was expectant when he felt the sudden increase in his power. He dragged the crocodile ashore. He thought this creature was weird. It was not a monster beast and did not have a monster core. However, it was very powerful and could fight Philip with its body alone. The monster beasts he had seen in the past could spray fire or water, fly in the air, or burrow underground. In short, they had some abilities to a certain extent. However, the crocodile in front of him did not display any abilities. It was just like an ordinary crocodile in the zoo. Despite that, ev
When they arrived at the oasis, Philip found that it covered a large area. This place could be considered a large island that looked quite luxurious and extraordinary. “We can finally have a good rest.” Rabbit leaned against a big tree comfortably. He felt relaxed as soon as he entered the oasis, which was not so hot and had abundant water resources. “The environment is quite good, but I wonder if there’s any danger.” Philip looked around with satisfaction. Suddenly, an ugly monster rushed toward them, so fast that Rabbit could not react. Rabbit was very close to the water and was taken by the monster before he could react. Philip immediately gave chase. The monster bit Rabbit and plunged into the water. Philip reached out and grabbed the monster. He knew that Rabbit was useless in such cases. Rabbit would probably be dead if the weird monster took him away. “Philip, save me!” Rabbit spluttered in the water, bobbing up and down, feeling very scared. He regretted staying
“This may look very cruel, but it wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t attacked us,” Rabbit said with a sigh. He knew that Philip would not have done this if the ants had not treated them as food. He knew Philip too well. He would avoid trouble as much as possible. Philip would not attack for no reason even if he had to take a detour. However, the ants’ killing intent was too strong. It was bad enough if Rabbit felt scared. He just wanted to cheer for Philip. “Philip, did you notice that this place is not a secret realm but more like a world?” Rabbit said doubtfully. At first, Rabbit thought that the stone man had teleported them to a terrible secret realm, but after some time, he felt a difference between this place and a secret realm. “Although we can find various natural environments in a secret realm, they're generally false and can't appear in front of us, but everything around us is real!” The monsters they usually encountered in a secret realm would attack their s
“Wait a minute. Do you think that the black energy is approaching us?” Moray stepped back in a panic and looked around in disbelief. Hearing that, everyone looked at their surroundings. Sure enough, the black energy was getting closer. Aslan estimated that it would take six hours for the black energy to trap everyone. Aslan was calm. All the people under Philip’s command did not find the black energy dangerous. Only the losers would find it dangerous. Now that Philip was trapped, it was useless for them to worry. Aslan took out some recliners from his space ring and asked everyone to wait quietly. “Now that we’re free, let’s prepare some food and drinks. Let's not get into trouble.” At Aslan’s order, everyone took action. They had nothing to worry about. The others stared at them in surprise and amazement. Now that danger was upon them, how could these people laugh and eat without worries? They did not take the stone man seriously at all. However, they could not do
