Dante added. "That's right! How could a loser like Sebastian know anything? The medicine he left won't be able to cure Winnie."Besides, isn't the hospital getting ready to operate on her? As soon as we sign, she can get the operation."Theresa frowned. She couldn't help but think about the time when Whitney got caught in the rain. It had been Sebastian's needle technique that had saved her!Was Sebastian telling the truth? Did Whitney really have some kind of cold energy inside her?Theresa spoke heavily, "Mrs. Sutton, I advise you not to let Whit have the operation. I'm sure you remember what happened when she got caught in the rain. If we had believed the hospital at the time, Whit would probably already be…"Crystal's heart clenched. It was as Theresa had said. Whitney had shown the same symptoms before. At the time, they had asked someone from Medcity to come, but in the end, it was Sebastian who had saved Whitney's life.Crystal hesitated and said, "Theresa, do you mean t
Who knew what would happen if Whitney took vitamins in this state?If anything happened to Whitney and the police got involved, they might find out that Mabel had tampered with the medicine. The Suttons would never let her get away with it."What medicine? If they want Whitney to take it, then let her," Fergus said rather impatiently.Fergus was currently with his father, Simon, and he was trying to boast to him of his achievements. After all, he had personally met with Jace that day, and there were hints that he could reach an agreement with the Beckards.That was excellent news for the Cobbs! "You've forgotten? That's the medicine you told me to switch! If Whitney takes it and anything happens to her, I'll be their prime suspect," Mabel explained everything to him once more.When she had seen the bottle of pills that Sebastian had left in Whitney's office, Fergus had told her to keep a close eye on it. That was why Mabel always kept a bottle of vitamins with her.Fergus' hear
Theresa took the bottle of pills from Dante, opened it, and peered inside. She sniffed it.The bottle emanated an herbal medicinal scent, but very quickly, a strong, sweet smell rushed into her nostrils."A coat of sugar?" Theresa frowned slightly and poured some of the pills into her hand. She studied them for a long time before picking one up and placing it carefully in her mouth."That can't be right! This isn't medicine at all. They're vitamins!" Theresa turned her head to look at Mabel.If the bottle of medicine had contained the medicine that Sebastian had left for Whitney, she would never have thrown it out and replaced it with vitamins!The only person who was in close contact with Whitney was Mabel."Ms. Livington, why are you looking at me like that? I-I've never touched Ms. Sutton's drawer. You can't possibly suspect me of switching the medicine, can you?" Mabel said evasively. Theresa frowned and looked at her closely. At that moment, Fergus arrived on the scene
At that moment, everything seemed to become clear to Theresa."Ms. Livington, I don't know what you mean," Mabel explained weakly, giving Theresa an awkward smile. Theresa sneered and looked at Whitney on the hospital bed. She shook her head slightly. "Don't worry, Ms. Lucero. I won't expose you. "However, Whit is my best friend, and I don't want anything that endangers her to happen again. Otherwise, I will reveal everything that you and Fergus did without holding anything back."You should know how important Whit is to the Suttons. If anything happens to her, do you think the Suttons will let you escape unscathed?"Mabel broke out in a cold sweat at what Theresa had said. Nevertheless, she had never expected Theresa to help her keep it a secret.The truth was that when Theresa finally realized what was going on, her impression of Sebastian had changed drastically as well.If it was all just a plot, it would mean that Sebastian did have medical skills. Someone like him was
When Fergus saw Sebastian heading toward the emergency room, he immediately blocked his path. "Ballard, Winnie is my fiancée. Stay away from her—"Before he could finish, Sebastian slapped him so hard that he was sent flying and landed over three feet away. Sebastian didn't even bother to look twice at him as he walked toward the emergency room. Mabel felt guilty when she saw Sebastian. She tactfully retreated to the doorway, but Theresa hurried up to him. She grabbed his arm and led him to the hospital bed.Sebastian frowned in confusion at her actions. Theresa had always treated him very coldly. In fact, she was downright hostile! However, she was clearly acting very differently toward him right now."Sebastian, come and take a look at Whit! What has happened to her?" Theresa hadn't noticed the change in his expression as she led him to Whitney's bed.Sebastian gently pushed her hand away from his arm and looked down at Whitney. "Huh? What happened? What did you give her?"S
Fergus shook his arm defiantly. Then, he turned and left the hospital room.Mabel followed him out quickly.When Crystal saw Fergus striding out angrily, she was a little worried that the marriage alliance between the Cobbs and the Suttons would be canceled because Sebastian and Whitney were alone in the room together. Crystal's eyes gleamed cunningly as she thought of an idea. "Theresa, please watch over Winnie." Then, she turned to Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, Theresa has a PhD in medicine. She can stay, right?"Before Sebastian could speak, Theresa urged Crystal, "Don't worry, Mrs. Sutton. I'll take care of Whit. I'll make sure nothing happens to her."Crystal was reassured and shut the door behind her.Outside, she smiled ingratiatingly at Fergus and said, "Mr. Cobb, don't worry. Theresa's in there, and if anything happens or if Sebastian tries anything with Winnie, Theresa won't just stand by and do nothing."Fergus harrumphed. He looked through the window at Sebastia
In the past, Theresa would have definitely advised Whitney to stay away from a scumbag like Sebastian. However, this time, she chose to remain silent.She really wanted to know if Sebastian still had any feelings toward Whitney after being misunderstood and hurt so many times. "You're not dreaming. You're in a hospital room." Sebastian gathered himself and reached over to pull out the seven silver needles that were in Whitney. He fell heavily onto a chair next to her. His back was soaked in cold sweat, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably. He had used seven Life Extension needles in a very short period of time. It had been a dangerous act for him in his current condition. Although it had only used up 70% of his spiritual energy, within one minute, he had emptied his vital points of spiritual energy. It would have been a life-threatening move for anyone to make. Sebastian looked at Whitney, feeling conflicted. Perhaps it would be the last time he would ever do anything
"You know that I can't live without you, and you know that I love you so much. You know all of that…" Whitney was crying bitterly. Her tears had soaked the pillow she was lying on, leaving a huge, wet patch. Theresa's heart ached at the sight of Whiteny bawling her eyes out. She pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to her.However, Whitney swatted her hand aside and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. She said tearfully, "Sebastian, everything you did in the past was to prove yourself to me."Even if you did hide things from me in the past, I can still forgive you. So, can we start over, please? Let's go and get remarried tomorrow." Whitney struggled to sit up. She wanted to get out of bed and throw herself at Sebastian.At that moment, they heard a commotion outside."Hmph, I knew that she only pretended to faint! She just wants to escape responsibility! Look, that Sutton woman is flirting around with some man inside!" There was the sound of a mi
Since Declan had coincidentally met Sebastian at the dinner table that day, he had thought of bringing the latter over to his side. That way, Sebastian could work for him. "Sebastian, I'm planning to make an exception and take you as my apprentice. What do you think?" Declan asked again when he saw that Sebastian was ignoring him.Sebastian continued to ignore him. Did he really thought he could be Sebastian's mentor? The old man must be crazy!"Sebastian, you should hurry and kneel to my grandfather! You're lucky to get him as a mentor! My grandfather hasn't accepted any apprentices for 20 years!"Bryce glared at Sebastian, whom he felt was being far too tactless. There were countless people fighting to have Declan as a mentor."Mr. Byrne Senior, I don't wish to have a mentor. Besides, no one is qualified to be one," Sebastian said impassively. "You little—"Declan was furious. Sebastian was far too arrogant! He was already humbling himself by deigning to take Sebastian as an
Bryce saw the anger in Declan's face, so he said reluctantly to Larys, "I'm sorry, Mr. Compton. I've acted impulsively."Acted impulsively? It would have been better if Bryce hadn't apologized at all. His apology had made Larys even angrier. He clearly had no respect for Larys at all if he could slap him just out of a moment's impulse. Larys was the mayor of Steinberg. How could he just let things go just because Bryce had said that he had been impulsive? "Mr. Compton, my grandson is young and ignorant. Please don't hold it against him." Declan had no choice but to speak up and apologize to Larys on Bryce's behalf. Larys could only nod. He smiled slightly and said, "Forget about it. Make sure that it doesn't happen again."Once everyone was seated once more, Bryce continued staring viciously at Sebastian. It was all Sebastian's fault that he had been slapped twice by Declan!He couldn't just let him go, but he didn't dare to cause any more trouble at the dinner table. Howeve
"People always say that you can see what a person is like from looking at their family. I can see that it's true," Sebastian said impassively.That was a harsh insult to Declan. It implied that Bryce's rude behavior was a reflection of Declan's lack of good character, and that their family didn't have good manners.Declan turned purple with rage. Ever since he had become one of the esteemed members of the Healer Sect, everyone in the martial arts community always spoke respectfully to him, especially those of the traditional medicine community. All of them were polite whenever they met him.However, Sebastian had insulted him thrice in a row, and each insult was worse than the last. Rosalie couldn't help but laugh. She leaned on Sebastian's shoulder and turned her head away, her slender figure trembling with the effort of not laughing out loud."You're terrible! You've insulted them so slyly!" Rosalie whispered in Sebastian's ear.Sebastian reached out to put an arm around her t
Sebastian's expression turned cold at once. What was so important about an elder of the Healer Sect? Was there any reason for him to make so many people wait?Besides, the banquet had been set at 9:00 pm, and both he and Rosalie had arrived on time. Why should Declan be treated differently?Sebastian had never had any patience with people who used their age as an excuse to do whatever they wanted to."Forget it. Calm down, both of you, and let's both refrain from saying anything else."Larys stood up quickly to smooth things over. Both Sebastian and Julian remained silent out of respect for him. However, they both exchanged icy looks.Now that the conflict had subsided, Larys leaned closer to Sebastian and whispered, "Mr. Ballard, I'll be honest with you. I can't afford to offend either you or Mr. Byrne. Please help me out and refrain from pursuing this matter further."Larys was being sincere. He was in awe of Sebastian's allies, but Declan had equally powerful allies supporting
Upon hearing Rosalie's words, Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head.The Nine Sects wouldn't dare to say a thing to the Ballard Estate, who in turn thought nothing of the Healer Sect.Andreas snorted in laughter and said, "If you had said so 100 years ago, even I would have had to concede. However, times have changed now.""What do you mean?" Rosalie looked curiously at Andreas. It seemed that Sebastian's cousin was very familiar with the Healer Sect. "About 12 years ago, they went on the wrong path. If you check thoroughly, you'll probably find that the development of many new medicines was related to the Healer Sect. However, they are not the refiners!"Rosalie seemed to be deep in thoughts. Her brow darkened as she said thoughtfully, "Do you mean to say that the Healer Sect has abandoned the art of medicine and has decided to go in the direction of the art of pill refining instead?"This made Andreas see Rosalie in a different light.Medicine and pill refining were very
"Are you talking about your cousin? He doesn't look like a businessman at all, though. He looks more like…"Rosalie put her chin in her hands, her brow tightly furrowed. However, she couldn't find an appropriate way to describe Andreas.He felt very strange to Rosalie. There was a kind of energy he had that was difficult to express in words. "It doesn't matter whether he's a businessman or not. He just has to have money. Why don't we discuss it with him tomorrow? I think he'll probably support you unconditionally," Sebastian said confidently."Really? But if we develop a similar medicine, won't we be going against the Croydons? That doesn't seem right."Lorcan was a friend of Oliver's, after all. That meant that he was a friend of the Griffins. Rosalie didn't want to make such an important family their enemy in business. "With that contract, we have to show the Croydons that they shouldn't become ungrateful, nor should they use their force against us!" Sebastian exclaimed in a
"However, Mr. Croydon's contract is even more important than the sales channels!" Rosalie exclaimed.She handed one of the contracts to Sebastian and said, "These are a series of medical investments that the Croydons have made here. We can participate in all these projects, particularly these two innovative medicines."Sebastian looked at what Rosalie was pointing at. One was called the Rejuve Pill, while the other was called the Longlife Pill. Both medicines had very specific functions. The Rejuve Pill was clearly a beauty product developed especially with women in mind. As for the Longlife Pill, it gave one pause for thought.Not only did it have the ability to extend one's life, it could also improve certain functionalities for men. In other words, anyone who took the medicine would have the energy of an 18-year-old in all aspects!If that was the advertising slogan, it would be sure to set most people's imaginations running."Although this medicine is aimed at a wide targe
At Andreas' question, Rosalie covered her mouth and giggled. She pointed at Zane and said, "We haven't come across any trouble, but someone has gotten seriously injured."Sebastian turned to look at Zane and eyed him for a long time. He suddenly pulled up the hem of Zane's pants and couldn't help bursting into laughter. It turned out that Zane had gotten rather cocky lately and was always provoking Rose. He had ended up with thick scabs on both his knees. The smell of blood probably came from him."Zane, look at where you've been injured… you'd better refrain from offending women. If you end up getting calluses, you'll just end up being punished when you get married!"Sebastian advised him, suppressing a smile.Zane could no longer endure it. "Seb, that bit— I mean, that woman, Rose is just too much! I was just having a friendly match with her—"Before Zane could say more, a slender figure pushed the door open and entered. It was Rose!Zane had been about to pour out all his
Even by plane, it would take them four or five hours to reach the foot of Mount Quiln.They had just walked into a Stonedoor Spell, and they had immediately arrived in Steinberg!"It's just the Escape Technique, which is one of the arts of paper charms. Don't be so shocked. I'll teach you when I have time!" Andreas said, smiling as he patted Sebastian's shoulder.Sebastian couldn't help feeling awed. The Ballards were clearly very accomplished in the mystic sects. It could be said that they were on par with the Sacred Medicine Society legacy. Although they were only about a dozen miles or so away from Steinberg, which was a negligible distance to Sebastian and the others, it was different for Whitney. She was a young woman, after all.Sebastian pulled out his phone and called Zane. Ever since Sebastian had left Steinberg, Zane hadn't been able to sleep or eat well. He had been waiting to hear any news from Sebastian.When he received Sebastian's call, Zane perked up at once. H
