Chapter 221

Author: Foxy Whispers
Cassian crossed his arms over his chest in a praying motion as a tribute to Wraithbound. After that, he left the space.

Since Wraithbound's corpse was full of lethal poison, Cassian couldn't move his corpse out of the saint's bust for a proper burial.

Once he got back outside, the impatient Frank asked, "What happened in there, Cassian? Did you discover anything?"

Zoey asked curiously as well, "Dr. York, what's inside the saint's bust?"

"Someone lived there," Cassian replied.

"Where's that person, then?"

Frank and Zoey swapped looks with each other, clearly stunned.

"Wait, if that person has been staying in the saint's bust, what did they eat and drink?" Zoey found it really hard to believe Cassian's answer.

Similarly, Frank didn't believe Cassian either.

"Someone did live in the bust. But when I got into the bust, he was already dead. I discovered the Devil Trumpet's Kiss on his corpse."

Cassian didn't tell them the truth. He had yet to figure out the meaning behind Wraithb

    The news report was still ongoing."Just moments ago, we received news that Rivershire Hospital Dr. York has received a fast-track promotion to become the head of the traditional medicine department at Rivershire Hospital," the female presenter reported.Everyone in the room gasped. At last, it dawned on them that Cassian hadn't been bragging or talking himself up in any way whatsoever. He had truly become the head of a department and was indeed the hero who'd saved those children."Damn, Cassian! It's only been a few months since I last saw you, but you're already heading your own department? That's incredible!" Chester exclaimed with a booming laugh.He felt proud just to have such a remarkable friend.Cassian smiled. "It's not that big of a deal. Compared to all of you, I still need to remain humble and keep my feet firmly on the ground."Aidan and the others who'd mocked him earlier felt their faces burn. They wanted to bury their heads and hide. This was a proverbial slap in

    Did Cassian seriously receive the Outstanding Doctor award?That was impossible. No one could believe it. They all worked at hospitals and knew how difficult it was to receive that award. Many doctors worked their entire lives without even getting nominated for it.Aidan was utterly in disbelief as he exclaimed, "Who's to say that the Cassian York that was mentioned in the news report is the same one we know? After all, plenty of people in this world have the same name."Hearing this, a few others chimed in to agree with him."That's true. Cassian's only been at the hospital for a few months. How could he have received the Outstanding Doctor award already?""I know several people with the same name.""Lydia, you've worked at Rivershire Hospital. Is there anyone else there named Cassian York?Lydia had worked at Rivershire Hospital for as long as Cassian had, and she'd never heard of anyone else with the same name as him. That being said, she didn't want to see Cassian get all sm

    Lydia announced to everyone, "Cassian actually set me up! He spread rumors that I was sleeping around with another doctor at the hospital and that I engaged in improper conduct. Then, he used that opportunity to steal my full-time position!"But that's not all. After he got the position, he changed completely. He started looking down on the poor and sucking up to the rich. He even humiliated me in public!"What do you think, everyone? Is he even a decent human being if he could do such a thing?"Instantly, everyone broke out in an uproar."You're unbelievable, Cassian! You've gone too far!""Lydia was so nice to you, but you went behind her back and stole her full-time position! I'm ashamed on your behalf!""Back when we were in college, I used to think you were a decent guy. Who knew you'd actually do something like this? I must've been blind back then."On and on they went.The private dining room was quite large. There was a giant TV screen hanging on the wall, and it was cu

    "Cassian, it's Lydia!" Chester exclaimed.Cassian had already spotted Lydia and was rather puzzled. How had she ended up as Andrew's girlfriend?"You okay?" Gemma turned to him, her voice soft."I'm fine," Cassian replied calmly.He and Lydia had long since broken up. She'd hurt him deeply with her actions. In his eyes, she was no different from a stranger now.Chester whispered, "Cassian, I know why Andrew is picking on us now. It has to be because of Lydia.""Yeah."Chester thought the same. Otherwise, why would Andrew mess with them when they had no enmity with him?Smiling, Andrew walked up to the door and took Lydia's hand before saying happily, "I'm sure you guys are familiar with this beautiful woman beside me, but allow me to formally introduce her to you again. This is Lydia Nixon, my girlfriend!"Almost everyone's eyes immediately snapped to Cassian. Weren't he and Lydia a couple? How did she suddenly become Andrew's girlfriend?But after a brief spell of shock, the

    Andrew was fuming. Did Cassian expect him to agree with his explanation? Cassian was clearly taking him for a sucker, ordering the most expensive thing on the menu and expecting him to pay for it!"It's not often you find South Aroyan caviar on the menu, guys. Let's all thank Andrew," Cassian suggested.As soon as he said that, everyone else said, "Thanks, Andrew!"Andrew forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. While it was true he came from a rich family, his allowance wasn't unlimited. He'd probably have to max out his credit card limit just to pay for tonight's dinner."Sir, should I add the other two servings of caviar?" the server asked Andrew."Add them!" Andrew gritted out.He sorely wished he could rip Cassian into pieces right now, cursing to himself, "You bastard! How dare you make me pay through the nose for this? Just you wait. I'm going to make you pay for this!"Noticing Andrew's expression, Cassian sneered inwardly as well."Cassian, is it really okay for

    What was that? He wanted none of it?The waiter was stumped. He wanted to tell Cassian to just order the food he wanted instead. His hand was starting to hurt from having to write so many things.Most restaurants these days used electronic devices to take orders, but many of the luxury establishments still kept the use of taking down orders by hand as an added touch of hospitality for the guests. Cassian closed the menu and said to the server, "Give me your signature lobster bisque."Instantly, everyone fell silent. The ones who'd been mocking Cassian earlier looked incredulous now, thinking they'd misheard him.The restaurant's signature lobster bisque was priced at 800 dollars a bowl due to the use of the freshest, most premium lobsters and the inclusion of truffles. No one else dared to order it earlier.Grinning, Cassian said, "I think what you guys said earlier makes a lot of sense. It's not often we get to gather here like this, and this is a high-class restaurant in a fiv
