After bidding Francis farewell, Frederick started to head to where Tyger was to treat him. Suddenly, his phone rang. Frederick pulled it out to see that he had received a call from an unknown number.When he answered the call, someone asked in a hurry, "Is that you, Frederick?"Frederick could tell that it was June. "Yes, it's me. How did you get my number?"Frederick married Priscilla when June was a freshman in high school. The Miller family didn't buy her a phone when she was still in high school because they feared that it would affect her grades.The way the Miller family raised June was indeed old school. Even kids had phones nowadays. June only got her phone when Priscilla bought her one as a graduation gift the other day.June asked for Frederick's phone number back then, but Priscilla dodged her question and left while saying she had a meeting to attend.When she got home, she heard Marianne say that Frederick and Priscilla were getting divorced. It gave her such a huge
However, David was still wearing a mask even though they were meeting at a restaurant. Priscilla found it a little strange.David asked, "Ms. Miller, why isn't your sister here?"Priscilla felt a headache coming on at the mention of June's name. June threw a tantrum before they left home, saying David was a bad person. That was why Priscilla came with Grace instead."She was a little ill."David was slightly disappointed that the younger one wasn't there. But upon thinking that he could still have Priscilla and Grace, David was excited. Although Grace wasn't as pretty, it was still better than nothing.David pulled out a decanter filled with wine and said, "This is the wine I specially prepared for the both of you. Please have a taste."Then, he fetched them two wine glasses and poured each of them a glassful.Grace asked warily, "Dr. Jackson, why aren't you drinking? Besides, why aren't you taking off your mask?"David covered his face reflexively upon hearing her words. He im
Grace was stunned upon hearing Priscilla's words. She knew Priscilla well, and Priscilla was civilized and kind. Why would she suddenly say things like that to David?Grace turned back to look at David. David wore a mask on his face, but it did seem like he was leering at them in a disgusting way. David was not angered by Priscilla's words at the slightest, because he could discern from Priscilla's condition—a slightly flushed face and a lack of brain-to-mouth filter—that she was affected by the drugs. While Priscilla spoke, she felt dizzy and disoriented. She wanted to stand up, but her head felt so heavy atop her neck, and she ended up collapsing heavily onto the stool.Grace, who was beside her, realized that something wasn't right. She got up, trying to rouse Priscilla, only to feel overcome by a wave of dizziness herself.Looking at David, who was smiling like a villain whose evil plan had been successful, Grace had a sudden realization. She pointed at David in shock, sayin
Frederick had a frown on his face before noticing David's actions. His face darkened, and he appeared in front of David immediately after, moving as unnoticeably as a ghost. David was still completely befuddled; he had not managed to react to Frederick's presence yet. Looking at David's disgusting face, Frederick could not find it in himself to hit the man at all, as he feared that his hands would be dirtied. Instead, he landed a violent kick on David, sending him flying. When David landed, his body toppled the massive round table in the room. He lay on the ground, whining in pain as he failed to climb up. David felt like his intestines had been punctured by the kick, and his stomach roiled in pain. While watching Frederick's actions, Grace clapped listlessly. "Great job."Frederick did not want to give her any response. He took out his set of silver needles, wanting to rid Priscilla's body of the drugs she had ingested.When Grace saw that, she asked excitedly, "You know h
Frederick inserted the needle into Grace's body. This was Grace's first time seeing Frederick in action, and it seemed that he really was somewhat capable. However, as far as she was concerned, this was about the extent of Frederick's prowess in medicine—getting drugs out of her system.That was less than what an ordinary doctor could do, so what use did his skills have? Regardless of what she thought, she kept on praising Frederick. "Wow, you're so good at this, Frederick! "I've always thought of you as an exceptional person, and I've always been convincing Priscilla to not divorce you. Just wait, I'll convince her further when I can move my body again."Frederick's face darkened as he listened to Grace's insincere words. He said coldly, "Shut up!"Grace shut up immediately. She thought indignantly, "I won't need to be at your mercy when I can move my body again, and I'll surely curse you to the end of the world so as to vent my resentment!"Frederick withdrew the needles a
"No… This is impossible. How are you unaffected?"Frederick smiled and said nothing. He had started learning medicine at a young age, and thus, he had ingested all forms of poison existing in the world. He had been resistant to all poisons since a long time ago. As if some mild drugs could make him pass out!Frederick applied some force into his grip. David's hand hurt so much that he let go of the bag of drugs, which Frederick snagged. He then forced David's mouth open with his right hand and poured the contents of the bag inside. "You like to put people into a vegetative state, huh? I'll make your wish come true!"David struggled against that, but all his efforts were insignificant. Soon, half of the bag's contents were inside David's mouth. He fervently washed his mouth with water, but it was already too late.He ran outside as if he'd gone mad. "Quick, call me an ambulance! Quick!"Frederick did not stop David from asking for help. Half a bag of the drugs was already enough
Grace had said for two reasons. Firstly, she hated Frederick and did not want Priscilla to get together with him. Secondly, Frederick had reprimanded her multiple times while treating her, and that made Grace, who thought of herself as better than Frederick, feel humiliated.Frederick already knew how Grace tended to go back on her word, but he did not expect her to tarnish his reputation in such a way after he had treated her. He frowned and said coldly, "I wouldn't have saved you today if not for June."Grace said with disdain, "Bah. Did I beg you to save me? "Don't think I have no idea about your nefarious motives. You only saved me because you wanted to look at my perfect body. "Also, you came to stop David this time only because you wanted to mend things between you and Priscilla."Hearing Grace's words, Frederick came to the conclusion that this woman was beyond saving. Wade said angrily, "Fuck! I didn't expect you to try making a move toward Priscilla when I'm injured
Grace's previous relationship with a foreign ex-boyfriend was not an exception. Hawks, who had a group of lackeys working for him, seemed to be quite powerful, and all of Grace's ex-boyfriends could not compare to him in that regard. Grace was happy to date Hawks for a while. She would be the secretary of Anderson Group on paper in the future, while also dating a boyfriend who had a presence in the streets. Vivianne would surely be terrified of her the next time they met each other, and that excited her.Frederick felt nauseated upon seeing how Grace and Hawks were cozying up to each other. He got ready to deal with Hawks quickly so that he could leave this place. Before he could, though, his phone rang. He noticed that the call was from a number he did not know, but he took it anyway. Tyger said on the other end, "We've prepared all the herbs, Mr. York. When will you be coming? Do you need me to send a car over to pick you up?"Tyger was anxious when it came to treating hi
