Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Kabanata 1781 - Kabanata 1790

If Brian had actually left the clinic earlier, he would have missed his chance to cure his gout for good. The thought of enduring that torture for the rest of his life made him raise his hand again. But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to slap Penny a second time. "Why? Why on earth would you do something like this?" Suddenly, Penny's face twisted with hatred as she glared at Tasha. "It's her fault! Everyone says she only maintains control of her company and got where she is today by seducing men! I was afraid she'd lure you in and break Mom's heart." Shocked, Brian stumbled backward, unable to process his daughter's words. "How could you think that way? If anything like that were happening, do you think your mother wouldn't notice? Everyone in our circles knows Mrs. Sharpe's actual reputation in Utren. How could you believe such rumors so easily?" Brian snapped.Tasha's face had turned ashen. She told Felix, "Dr. Zeller, I'll be leaving now." Felix knew that treating B

Elise nodded. "That's right. Years ago, someone poisoned my father. It left a brownish-black mark about the size of half a fist near the corner of his mouth. He's seen every master healer out there, but no one's been able to remove it."Even at home, he always wears a mask. It's been his lifelong burden. He's stopped believing anything could remove the scar." Upon hearing this confirmation, Felix said seriously, "I can make a special ointment specifically for removing scars. It doesn't matter what caused them—it works every time! I'm sure it'll be effective on your father's scar too. The question is whether you can convince him to try it." Elise stared at him in disbelief. "Are you so sure about this, Dr. Zeller?" "Katie's life is at stake. Do you think I'd joke about something like this?" That was a fair point. Elise contemplated for a moment before standing up. "Alright! Since you're so confident, I'll take this gamble with you. How soon can you prepare the ointment?" If F

Elise frowned. "Give me a little more time. We're just starting to see some results." Felix felt helpless. "Okay. I'll have to accept their demands if I don't hear anything by sunset tomorrow. I can't gamble with Katie's safety." Elise understood his feelings. Though Felix had created the ointment, every scar was different, so there was no way to predict exactly how well it would work. The remaining hours felt like torture for her. Early the next morning, she waited anxiously outside her parents' bedroom door. When the door finally opened, she heard Clyde's hearty laugh—a sound she hadn't heard in years. Could the results be even more visible now? "Ah, Elise! Perfect timing. Take a look." Clyde eagerly thrust his face forward. Elise's eyes immediately lit up. The scar wasn't just lighter than yesterday—the edges had completely healed. "Dad, it's really working! Isn't the scar smaller than yesterday?" Clyde nodded, smiling. "Exactly. I took a photo yesterday, and after c

The next day, Tasha arrived with Brian. Judging by their expressions, the two had patched things up. The world always revolved around interests and benefits. Tasha's anger had been a negotiation tactic to secure better terms. Clearly, it had worked. "Dr. Zeller, I must apologize for my daughter's behavior. Please accept my apology," Brian said.It was hard to be mad at someone who was trying to apologize, especially with Tasha nodding approvingly beside him. "Don't worry about it, Mr. Wiley. Children throw tantrums sometimes—it happens. Just make sure you take your medicine properly this time," Felix replied.Brian grinned. "Absolutely! I'm handling it personally this time. Nobody touches my medicine but me. You should've seen Randy last night at dinner. He was insufferable—feasting on everything I couldn't even look at before." Tasha quickly chimed in. "Soon you will be doing the same, Mr. Wiley. Let me be the first to congratulate you on saying goodbye to gout forever!" A

Felix gestured toward a room inside his clinic. "Please come in, Dr. Adkin." Once seated in the doctor's office, Devin smiled coldly and said, "I just wanted to see what kind of doctor could cure gout. I never expected you to be such a young doctor." A flash of vicious resentment crossed Devin's eyes. He seemed to be really irritated that Felix had successfully treated patients he couldn't cure. "I was just lucky to have a formula that works for gout."Devin thrust out his right hand. "Is that so? Hand it over and let me see." Felix furrowed his brows deeply. This so-called master healer was truly full of himself. A medical formula should be a closely guarded secret—did he really expect Felix to hand it over just like that? Some "master healer" he was. Devin was such a joke. "I'm afraid I can't show you the formula," Felix said.Before Devin could respond, a middle-aged man at his side glared fiercely. "Watch yourself, you brat! You should feel honored that Dr. Adkin want
