A divorce? The way Wynn uttered those words… She seemed so calm. Philip’s heart thudded. Silently, he rested his hands on his knees. He could not stop them from shaking slightly. At that moment, he could only feel a buzzing in his brain. The word ‘divorce’ would not stop repeating in his ears. He forgot to breathe, and he forgot to respond.Wynn was too disappointed in him. “Philip, I really can’t hold on any longer. I don’t want to go on like this. I don’t want to live in constant fear, worrying about the next day every single day, worrying about Mila’s condition every day. I gave you a year, and you said you would give me an answer. Yet, you have let me down so much now.” Wynn cried out helplessly, tears dripping from her eyes. The Philip she once loved deeply had become deplorable and dispirited. He had become repulsive, disgusting, and despicable to her. Philip raised his gaze, his eyes red as he asked, “Wynn, can you forgive me this time? I’ll change, I’ll try m
Well, you’re a tough guy now, huh? You even dare to yell at me now? Philip Clarke, don’t you even think about entering my house ever again! There will be no door open for you!” Martha had her hand on her waist as she shouted, pointing at Philip’s departing figure. “What are you doing? This is a hospital, shouting is not allowed!” A nurse walked over with a cold expression on her face and reprimanded them. Startled and angry, Martha tugged unreasonably onto Charles as she sobbed, “Charlie, you saw what happened. Philip is so unreasonable now. He even dares to shout at me now. From now on, in this family, he and I will not coexist.” Martha was simply furious. Since when did a loser dare come up to her and talk to her in that manner? “Alright, alright. Why don’t you stop saying so much as well. Do we have to add to this problem?” Charles said helplessly.After decades, it was natural that he understood Martha’s temperament. Philip was way too rude! No matter the circumstanc
Philip walked in and placed the lunch box on the table. Then, he picked up an apple and began peeling it while listening to Juan and Wynn’s conversation in silence. Juan and Wynn pretended that they did not see Philip, treating him like he was thin air. “Are you sure, Brother Juan? It’s Professor… Professor Henry Turner?” Wynn appeared to be unusually excited, her eyes sparkling like stars and her gaze burning. She knew about Henry Turner. He was regarded as the top cardiologist internationally with the title of being a medical titan. Back when Mila first got diagnosed, Wynn had looked up all relevant information. It could be said that Professor Henry Turner was the sage of the medical profession. If they really could get him to treat Mila, then her illness would be 100% curable. However, the catch was that they would have to manage to hire him. Not anyone could meet with a medical titan. Wynn knew profoundly how much energy and how many connections must have been use
The pheasant doctor that Philip hired would probably begin trembling from shock after seeing Henry Turner. Therefore, it was obvious that Juan said this just to see Philip make a fool of himself. It was simply out of his league to fight with Juan. Philip’s brows knitted together. He had only said what he said because he did not want to be underestimated by Juan and misunderstood by Wynn.However, Juan’s aggressiveness made Philip feel very uncomfortable. Should he tell them? Philip did not want to burst their bubble. Sighing, he said, “Forget it, as long as you’re happy.” Philip did not want to upset anyone. After all, his mother-in-law had been very concerned about Juan lately.If he provoked Martha, there would not be anything good in store for him. Besides, he had gone to the doctor for his daughter. For that matter, Philip did not feel the need to humiliate Juan. However, this was the only exception. “Haha, Philip, you’re a funny one,” Juan said as he laughed
What was Philip doing here? Not only that, he was standing beside Professor Henry Turner. What was going on? Juan was confused. Was it possible that Philip and Juan knew each other? That was impossible! How would a reputable medical guru like Professor Turner know a wimp like Philip? Professor Henry Turner was startled. He did not know Juan Parker, but he did know his father. To be honest, they did not even really know each other. They simply had a few connections in common. It was because he liked jade and had bought quite a few jade pieces to display in his house. Once, when he was at Golden City, Henry received a beautiful piece of jade from Robert. It was an extremely rare piece made from green dragon jade, thus Henry remembered this favor. Just a few days ago, Robert had contacted him personally. He said something about his son’s friend’s daughter suffering from congenital heart disease and begged him to take a look at her condition.Did they think that any pers
Philip did not say anything. Instead, he laughed in resignation as he turned around to leave. Martha was still muttering to herself. “What a sight for sore eyes.” Henry’s brows furrowed. Was this Mr. Clarke’s mother-in-law? She was so spirited and rude.Mr. Clarke was really unlucky to have such a mother-in-law. “Wait!” Henry called out to Philip and stood in front of him. He was not happy with the way this mother-in-law was acting. Thus, he wanted to do something for Mr. Clarke. “Who is this?” Henry’s tone was cold as he spoke to Juan. Juan immediately responded in a complimentary manner, “Professor Turner, this is…” Before the introductions could be finished, Martha began scolding unreasonably, “Who are you, you old grouch! What, do you want to speak up for that wimp?” Old grouch? Everyone present was dumbfounded! This was the first time that Henry had been scolded in such a manner in his many years of practicing medicine. At that moment, he was so angry th
A simple sentence, yet Martha’s and Juan’s hearts thudded at the sound of it! What did he mean by ‘for his sake’? How could that useless bum say something like that at a time like this! Was his honor that precious? Martha was trembling with anger. Philip was a big talker and knew just when to pick his moment. Was he deliberately trying to embarrass himself and offend Henry? Was it revenge? “Philip, shut up! Who do you think you are? Do you think you have a say in this matter?” Martha admonished with trepidation. She was really worried that Philip, that piece of trash, would accidentally offend someone as important as Henry Turner. He even asked him to let the matter go for his sake. Did he not know how much more noble this man was when compared to him? Philip’s brows knitted together. He had not thought that Martha would be the first to reprimand him. He was trying to get her out of trouble through his kind intentions, but instead, she retaliated. “Why are you s
Right at the moment she said it, Martha already had a hundred plans to seek revenge on Philip. However, just as Juan was about to ask about the matter of visiting a doctor, Henry left.Juan immediately panicked and rushed to catch up.There was only Martha and Philip left in the rest area. The former was staring at Philip fiercely, her eyes filled with a flame of anger."Mom, you didn't..."Slap!Before Philip could finish speaking, Martha had slapped him across the cheek and cursed, "How about it? Does it feel good to have me apologize to you?" ‘I would not be a Yates if I didn't beat you up!’Philip was speechless. His cheek was aching with burning pain, and his fists were pinched tightly in his trousers."Oh, are you unhappy about it? Come hit this old lady if you can. Come on, hit me." Martha immediately pushed Philip with a challenging look.More people had come to look.Then, Martha gave up. Before she left, she glared at Philip fiercely. She scolded, "Useless! Die e
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
