At the same time, Belle also threatened Felix, "Either you keep the needles, or I take action. I'm sure you know the consequences."Felix had enough of Belle and Jordan. With a tapping gesture of his right hand, he made them stand frozen in place, completely unable to move. They could only communicate with their eyes since they couldn't even open their mouths."The spell will be automatically removed after half an hour," Felix said. After inserting the two silver needles, he placed the Grimflower into Curtis' mouth.He then left the room under Belle's and Jordan's furious gazes.20 minutes later, Xena had finished showering. After getting dressed, she arrived on the top floor. She was perplexed upon seeing the two of them standing stiffly in place. "What's wrong with the two of you?"She noticed that they could only gesture with their eyes. Realizing what might have happened, she tapped with her right hand. Straight away, the two of them were able to move again."Something's
Jordan's expression turned horrifyingly sullen once he heard the word "Grimflower". He barked, "Damn it! Felix has got some nerve!"A sense of foreboding arose in Xena's heart as he asked, "W-What is it?""Grimflowers are rare herbs, but they're highly poisonous. How cruel of Felix!"The news was so shocking that it sparked murderous intent in Xena and Belle at once. They wondered if Felix resorted to extreme measures because he couldn't get what he wanted. Even if that were the case, wasn't he being too bold?"Quit panicking!" Wesley spoke up while glaring at his precious apprentice. "You're right. The Grimflower is indeed highly poisonous. However, whether it's harmful depends on the state of the person ingesting it and how one prepares this herb."After saying that, Wesley pointed at Curtis' mouth. "This specific Grimflower looks paler. It's evident that someone has treated it with acupuncture methods.""Acupunture?" Even for Jordan, that was his first time hearing about such
"Milady, I think what Jordan said is right. Felix must have gotten this Grimflower by luck," said Belle.A while later, Xena sighed. "Regardless, it's undeniable that Felix has helped me this time. Belle, please arrange a slot in my schedule. I'm going to buy Felix a meal as a token of my gratitude."Jordan sighed in relief, thinking it was fine for Xena to buy Felix a meal. He felt someone of Felix's caliber couldn't compare to him. Because of that, he believed they would be in serious trouble if Xena believed Felix's medical skills were superior to Wesley's.…Meanwhile, Felix had returned to his villa in Tabiner Bay. He had just arrived when he saw Sasha standing at the entrance to his property."Felix," she greeted."What are you doing here? We no longer have anything to do with each other."Sasha bit her lower lip, seeming to have predicted this outcome. "I'm sorry, Felix. I was being too haughty before. I swear, I'm not approaching you because you and Lord Kane are related
The debt his parents owed? Felix took the papers from Jolene and instantly frowned. "These are the company's debts from back then. What do they have to do with my parents?" To his surprise, his words made Sabrina's body tremble with sheer rage. "Bullshit! My family had the least company shares back then, and we needed to pay off these debts before anyone acknowledged our worth. "Why else would I sell cars when I could've enjoyed my life as an heiress? Anyway, it all comes down to your parents' debt from back then. We've already paid back the debt, so it's only natural that you pay us back."Felix inhaled deeply, suppressing the blazing flames in his chest. He feared he would rip the two women to shreds if he unleashed his rage.These relatives of his had gotten a share of the company back then, yet they were now shamelessly doing this. "Mark my words. Don't blame me for taking extreme measures if you dare come to our house again."Jolene spoke up when Felix turned on his heel
"We're all involved in this industry. Plus, I'm here to join in the fun today. Please forgive me for the intrusion." Jordan kept a low profile, causing everyone to applaud him more enthusiastically. Of course, he ended up sitting at the first table in front.That said, his smile dropped once he saw Felix."Mr. Lowell, I hope you won't think I'm being immature and foolish for saying this—but shouldn't Avesburgh's Traditional Medicine Association have stricter guidelines when accepting new members in the future?"Simon, who had also sat down, furrowed his brows in confusion. "What do you mean, Dr. Hall?"Even an idiot would understand the situation after seeing Jordan viciously sneer at Felix. "To my knowledge, this Felix guy is a doctor from the countryside. His medical skills are mediocre, which we can ignore, but he sometimes scams people! "I fear Avesburgh's Traditional Medicine Association's reputation will be damaged if people discover such a person can join your associatio
Felix strolled down the street and had unknowingly arrived at a downtown area. There, he saw a woman in her 30s. Her eyes were red and swollen as she actively spoke with people who passed by. "Miss, do you have the ametrine blood type? What about you, sir? Do you have ametrine blood?"Alas, her efforts were unsuccessful. Passersby who were nice would reply, "No." As for those who had fouler tempers, they treated her like she was a lunatic. Some even shoved her away. Even so, the woman continued her task of asking around for that specific blood type. Felix could tell the woman likely hadn't slept for several days from her haggard appearance. "Sir, do you have the ametrine blood type?" She stopped Felix in his tracks to ask the same question."Is someone in your family ill and needs to have extra blood in case of transfusions?" Felix replied. It was the first time someone had asked her a question in response. Her gaze was bleak and devoid of hope. Yet, she wanted to vent her em
A smile appeared on Felix's face as he said, "There's no need for that. Knowing your good character, you'll surely raise your daughter to become someone who can contribute to her country well. That'll be the best repayment."At the same time as he left, a woman stood before a huge floor-to-ceiling window in a room elsewhere. The view of her figure from behind alone was enough to make one's imagination go wild.Someone entered the room and spoke up at once. "Miss, we've just received news that the DNA you've been searching for has been found in one of Avesburgh's hospital's databases."The woman didn't look back at the former, nor did she turn around. Only her slight chuckle filled the air. "Is that so? It seems that when there's a will, there's a way." "But, miss, even the Zeller family has given up. Why are you still putting in so much effort to search for it?"After a brief silence, the woman's voice rang out again. "He's my fiancé, after all. Wouldn't he find his life a little
"Dr. Cane," Felix greeted Wesley with a smile. Although they had never met before, the fact that Felix appeared at this specific time meant that he was undoubtedly the apprentice of the miracle doctor. "You're even younger than I imagined." Even Wesley was careful to speak in a respectful tone when he addressed Felix. The first reason was because Felix was the miracle doctor's apprentice. Secondly, Felix's medical skills were indeed superior to his own, so he had no right to be resentful. The miracle doctor had only taken on this one apprentice throughout the years. This spoke volumes about Felix's talent. Felix said, "Let's focus on saving the patient." Wesley didn't notice that his own apprentice was standing frozen on the spot. He led Felix into a bedroom, where a woman and a month-old infant were present. "Dr. Zeller, this child is my great-grandson. He was born without innate energy, and I truly have no way to help him." It turned out that the child was lacking in in
