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
A simple sentence, yet Martha’s and Juan’s hearts thudded at the sound of it! What did he mean by ‘for his sake’? How could that useless bum say something like that at a time like this! Was his honor that precious? Martha was trembling with anger. Philip was a big talker and knew just when to pick his moment. Was he deliberately trying to embarrass himself and offend Henry? Was it revenge? “Philip, shut up! Who do you think you are? Do you think you have a say in this matter?” Martha admonished with trepidation. She was really worried that Philip, that piece of trash, would accidentally offend someone as important as Henry Turner. He even asked him to let the matter go for his sake. Did he not know how much more noble this man was when compared to him? Philip’s brows knitted together. He had not thought that Martha would be the first to reprimand him. He was trying to get her out of trouble through his kind intentions, but instead, she retaliated. “Why are you s
Right at the moment she said it, Martha already had a hundred plans to seek revenge on Philip. However, just as Juan was about to ask about the matter of visiting a doctor, Henry left.Juan immediately panicked and rushed to catch up.There was only Martha and Philip left in the rest area. The former was staring at Philip fiercely, her eyes filled with a flame of anger."Mom, you didn't..."Slap!Before Philip could finish speaking, Martha had slapped him across the cheek and cursed, "How about it? Does it feel good to have me apologize to you?" ‘I would not be a Yates if I didn't beat you up!’Philip was speechless. His cheek was aching with burning pain, and his fists were pinched tightly in his trousers."Oh, are you unhappy about it? Come hit this old lady if you can. Come on, hit me." Martha immediately pushed Philip with a challenging look.More people had come to look.Then, Martha gave up. Before she left, she glared at Philip fiercely. She scolded, "Useless! Die e
“You’re right. The mermaid is such a mysterious creature. How can anyone cure its poison?” Stanley smiled wryly, feeling sorry for himself. “Philip, you have to find a way to save my father. I’ll do anything for you if you can save him!” Yule grabbed Philip’s shoulders with agitation. He begged Philip and almost knelt at his feet. In Yule's opinion, Philip was an omnipotent and powerful existence. There was nothing he could not do. Likewise, Aslan and the others shared the same thought. Therefore, they were surprised when Philip said that he could not save Stanley. Philip sighed. In the past, he had been to places of a lower civilization where the natives were not very strong. He could do whatever he wanted and no one could do much to him even if they wanted to. However, Philip was not familiar with places of a higher civilization. Even Rabbit only knew a little and was hesitant to speak. Hence, Philip was not confident he could save Stanley. “Maybe that creature came fro
“Let’s stop making wild guesses and wait for Yule's father to explain. This creature doesn’t belong to this continent, so no one knows what’s going on.” Philip reached out and gently touched the scales in amazement. He felt that something was wrong with this mermaid. With that touch, he found that the mermaid’s scales were better than those of a dragon. Philip once found a dragon scale by chance, but the dragon scale was not as tough as the mermaid's scales. Moreover, the mermaid's scales could change into various shapes, which was amazing. “If the scales are used to make a weapon, it’ll definitely be the best treasure. Not only can it attack and defend, but also…” Before Philip could finish his words, he heard Yule's father coughing violently. He seemed in pretty bad shape. “Rascal, go and look at the fish. She’s not an ordinary fish but a mermaid I found by chance! According to ancient records, there are many similar creatures in the world of the gods, and they're a force
Almost everyone knew about the condition of Yule's father, and most of them were there to watch the fun. When Yule and the others appeared, some people could not wait to start taunting him. “Oh, you’re such a good son. Your father is already in this state, but you’re still in the mood to fool around outside. You should start preparing for your father’s wake!” “The miracle doctor has given a diagnosis, saying that your father has only a few more days to live. Stop wasting time and start preparing for the funeral!” Everyone mocked Yule, who was respected simply because of his father’s position. Now that Yule's father was dying, no one wanted to show him that respect anymore. Some people even planned to steal things from Yule’s house! With no one else to back him up, everyone thought that Yule did not deserve to stay in that luxurious house anymore. Hearing everyone’s taunts, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but now was no time to argue. He had to find out his fath
Very soon, everyone left the King’s Ruins. Philip had taken care of the danger, so they just had to collect the treasures. Yule and his team were grateful to Philip and flattered him along the way. After all, they would not have been able to leave the place alive so easily if not for Philip. The King’s Ruins were still dangerous even though they did not face any monsters head-on. They knew they managed to avoid most dangers because of Philip. At this moment, Yule’s communicator vibrated. Only his close family members had his contact, so Yule immediately felt a bad premonition. He walked to the corner with the communicator and spoke anxiously. It seemed that he had encountered some big trouble. Philip waited for Yule to return to the team without a word. Ten minutes later, Yule returned to the team. He looked very depressed as if he had encountered a big problem. Philip noticed his reaction but did not take the initiative to approach him. He knew that Yule would approach h
“Philip, look, I solved half the problem for you. The rest is up to you.” After saying this, Yule laughed triumphantly, blatantly disregarding Mason’s cold glare. Mason frowned and looked at Philip with apprehension. He could not verify Philip’s story, but if Philip was telling the truth, he would have lost the bet again. “Get out of our sight. We've wasted a lot of time because of you. Don't blame us for attacking you if you stay here any longer!” Aslan had a hot temper and kicked Mason when he noticed Mason's hesitance. Mason fell to the ground miserably and looked at Philip with murderous intent. “Let’s go and stop wasting our time here!” After saying this, Mason took the lead and ran away, unwilling to stay here a second longer. Philip’s strong power deterred him greatly, and Philip was not afraid of Sienna at all, which crushed Mason’s final confidence. Mason was best at using other people’s influence, but it was on the premise that others were willing to bow down to
Mason frowned at Aslan but did not respond. Philip said, “This guy has become Sienna’s underling. He’s here to find the Binary Herb for Sienna, which coincides with our purpose. Now, he wants me to hand it over or he’ll ask Sienna to kill me. I’m very scared,” Philip said sarcastically and could hardly contain his laughter. Hearing that, everyone was startled before bursting into laughter. They had been with Philip through thick and thin, so they knew who Sienna was. “No way, this guy is using Sienna to threaten Philip. Is he kidding?” “I’m sure he’ll be scared out of his wits if he finds out what really happened. This is ridiculous.” Philip’s men scoffed at Mason’s arrogance. Yule’s men were puzzled, wondering what was going on. “Before this, Philip almost killed a snake monster named Sienna. Unexpectedly, the snake monster escaped and found herself a human servant. On top of that, this human servant thinks so highly of himself as if he's very proud of his identity.” L
“Go and grab that thing for me. We have to get hold of it! Don’t let that guy steal our treasure. And remember to find the thing I want!” Mason ordered his men in a panic. Mason was startled by Philip’s speed of collecting things. Everyone quickly sprang into action. They were not fools. They would be penalized if they did not get things done. They raced against time to grab the treasures from Philip, but Philip was unfazed. He knew that all the treasures would fall into his hands in the end. Besides, the piles of treasures simply contained some pills and other stuff, nothing much. “Sir, we didn’t find the Binary Herb.” At this time, someone stepped forward to report their findings. Everyone was anxious when they realized they could not find the most important Binary Herb. Mason scowled at the bad news. “Impossible. The Binary Herb must be around somewhere.” The location of the Binary Herb was marked on his map. It had to be nearby. Mason looked around with the map
“Of course, an ignorant guy like you wouldn’t know what’s going on. This place is full of danger and had a powerful monster as a guardian. You don’t know anything because you’re unworthy.” Mason jerked his chin smugly, clearly proud that he knew some inside information. “If you beg me, I’ll consider going with you to deal with this monster.” In Mason’s opinion, Philip was no match for this monster. The bloodstains had to be from some weak monsters killed by Philip. According to his understanding, the legendary guardian snake monster was very powerful, not something ordinary people could deal with. “Don't you know why you’re here?” Philip said smugly. He knew that Mason was nothing but a pawn. Philip had seen through everything and was full of scorn for Mason’s nature. Mason was horrified that Philip knew him so well. “How did you know? I've been keeping this secret very well. No one should know about it. Did that snake woman tell you? That's impossible. She hates you very
Seeing this scene, Rabbit applauded excitedly. “You must be dreaming if you think you can fight Philip!” Rabbit said excitedly. Philip quickly killed the snake. He was surprised to find that the snake only had half of its body. He thought half of the snake was trapped in the stone, but it only had half a body left. “Did it grow from the stone?” Rabbit was shocked, wondering what was going on. “Something is wrong with this monster beast. It’s actually growing from the stone. How strange!” Philip was surprised by the strange discovery. “Indeed. It looks very strange, not like a good guy at all.” Rabbit was horrified and felt that the snake was more than met the eye. “Philip, look at this. Is it a description of this monster beast?” Rabbit looked at a huge stone tablet on the side in puzzlement. “Philip, look, I think this snake has something to do with that snake woman!” Rabbit was surprised to see what was written on the stone tablet and pulled Philip over for a look. The
