Frederick was fuming in anger. He was about to hang up the phone, when Derek panicked and exclaimed, "Dr. Lester, please listen to me! I called you late at night because she fell seriously ill, and her condition is critical! Her life could be in danger at any moment!"My father-in-law is the former academician of the National Academy of Sciences, Charles Harrison! He has made significant contributions to the country's semiconductor industry!"The granddaughter of a retired national academician?Frederick was taken aback. He only respected two types of people in his life: soldiers and scientists. Apart from that, to him, anyone with power, fame, or internet popularity was just recyclable trash, only good for a complete overhaul."If she's the granddaughter of a retired academician, then it's worth my intervention," Frederick said. "Send a car here. I'll be out in ten minutes.""Yes, of course! Thank you, Dr. Lester!" Derek was very excited.A few minutes later, Frederick changed

The moment she saw Frederick, the girl rushed towards him like an eagle that had spotted a rabbit.With a swift motion, Frederick caught her. He spun her around and swiftly pressed her pressure points, calming her down. She collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.Witnessing this, everyone couldn't help but marvel."D-Dr. Lester, the situation is urgent! Please, you must act quickly!" Derek stuttered.Charles's expression became even more painful. He clasped his hands together, and said, "Mr. Lester, I was rude earlier. This painting is indeed a fake—I admit it! Now, please save Lena! She's my only granddaughter, the treasure of our entire family. We can't afford to lose her!"Frederick narrowed his eyes, and replied casually, "No, I won't do it. Just now, you said you’d cut off my leg, and that you’d even make me your servant for a year. With that attitude, you want me to save her? Do you think I'm a saint from a TV drama?""But... Doctors should have compassion!""Compass

"That's..." Even Derek himself began to doubt.Was everything that happened before really just a coincidence? Thinking back on Frederick's various unreliable actions, it did make him wonder.Frederick, however, shrugged indifferently. "I don't care. If that's what you think, then let Ms. Schneider treat the illness. I'm going back to sleep."There was no loss to him if he put aside the urge to help and respected others' destinies.Watching Frederick walk away, Derek couldn't shake off his unease. Several times, he wanted to catch up and stop him, but Charles firmly pressed his shoulder."Derek, let that scammer go. Now that we have Ms, Schneider, we don't need him anymore," said Charles.Meanwhile, Willa gazed at Frederick, feeling strangely disappointed. ‘Strange… Why do I feel unhappy? Just because of a scoundrel like him? No, it's not worth it!’She gritted her teeth, and silently resolved to herself.Meanwhile, Melanie confidently lifted Helena and said calmly, "Don't wor

"Bro! Did you see that? He clearly doesn't give a damn about you being the team leader of this squad!" Cody yelled, his eyes bloodshot.The guy Cody was calling was Barry Ziegler, and they used to be close buddies.Taking advantage of Barry's position in the law enforcement team, Cody had been doing well these past few years.Barry's expression darkened slightly. "Damn it! Hey brat, do you know this area is under my jurisdiction?! How dare you hit my friend on my turf and still dare to raise your hand after being told to stop! This isn’t just a matter of causing trouble—it's contempt for the law, and that warrants a prison sentence!" he snarled.Henry was immediately frightened. "Sir! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! We didn't mean to, this gentleman just happened to sympathize with us and accidentally injured someone. Please forgive him!"If it was just causing trouble, he might only spend a few days in prison—but if it was proven to be contempt for the law, that was a prison sentence! He

Melanie, unlike Willa, smiled seductively. "Is that not good enough? Am I not pretty enough?"Looking into her captivating eyes, Frederick felt like he was facing another version of Jennifer. It left him feeling confused."No need," Frederick declined, and took out a pill from his pocket. "Give this pill to your granddaughter. It will stabilize her condition for three days."Charles instantly looked up, taking the pill from Frederick nervously. "But what about after three days, Dr. Lester?""After three days, come find me again," Frederick said calmly. "Your granddaughter's health was already weak, and the treatment from Ms. Schneider worsened her condition. She needs time to recuperate before I can guarantee her full recovery."If it wasn't for Willa and Melanie coming specifically to find him, or Derek and Charles offering up their own lives, he wouldn't have saved anyone.With that, Frederick turned and left.Charles hurriedly took the pill back home. After Helena took it, he
