Serena glanced at the meal. The delectable meat sauce clung to the thin pasta noodles. Just the sight was able to invoke her appetite. When she sniffed at the pasta, she could smell the mouthwatering meat sauce.After picking up a fork, Serena twirled a pasta noodle around it. She then popped one end into her mouth and began suckling on the sauce, only to slurp it into her mouth later on. Finally, she took her time chewing on the noodle."How's the taste, Serena? It's decent, right?" Cassian felt a little anxious. He wasn't sure if Serena liked his cooking. After all, she was accustomed to eating fancy food.Jessica asked as well, "Does it taste bad?""Yeah. It sucks. You should order your own food, Jessica."Jessica had already expected Cassian's cooking to be bad. But the next thing she knew, she saw Serena devouring the entire plate of pasta as though she had been starving for ages. When she ate, she didn't even care about her image.After polishing off her plate, Serena dem

Jessica mentally cursed at Cassian.What difference was there between Cassian and those perverts? They were all filthy men!"Just check on Jessica's injury, Cassian," Serena continued.Cassian studied the bruise on Jessica's chest. This was her first time being stared at by a man in the chest. Naturally, she blushed against her will.Two minutes later, Jessica realized that Cassian was still staring at her chest.She barked out impatiently, "So? Do you have any idea how to treat this or not?""Oh, I've made my own discovery alright," Cassian replied. "Your skin is quite delicate."Jessica was so furious that her cheeks went tomato red. She was about to berate Cassian when she heard him adding, "But then again, you're not as delicate as Serena.""You—" Jessica's temple was literally throbbing in fury. She'd have beaten Cassian up on the spot if not for the fact that Serena was still around.That pervert didn't just ogle her—he even demeaned her!That fucking bastard!"Stop

Cassian's disappointment was quickly replaced by a lighter mood. He turned around and smiled at Serena."Good night, Serena.""Good night." Serena flashed Cassian a gentle smile.Once Cassian exited Serena's room, he noticed the smug smile curling on Jessica's lips. His temper instantly flared.Why was she being smug about the fact that he didn't get to sleep with Serena in the same room?Cassian huffed coldly, which made Jessica's smile widen in return.The guest room was located on the second floor of the villa. Cassian couldn't sleep at all, no matter how much he tossed and turned on his bed. All he could think about was Serena's damp form when she exited the bathroom.He had to admit that Serena truly lived up to her nickname as Siren Landon.Since Cassian couldn't sleep, he might as well start cultivating.Thiago had helped him out several times in Crystalis tonight, which touched him greatly. Cassian had no idea when exactly he could activate the All-Seeing Eye, but he s

"I don't want to ruin our morale, but the success rate for the surgical treatment on both wounds is insanely low," the third expert said."It doesn't matter how low the success rate is—we still have to treat the patient no matter what," an expert with graying hair piped up. "We've already reached this step in the surgery. We mustn't give up now.""I'm not saying that we should give up. I'm saying that these wounds are located in vital areas. If the patient starts hemorrhaging badly during the surgery, we'll be in big trouble."Vera argued, "No matter how troublesome it is, we still have to proceed with the treatment. We're doctors, and we exist just to save lives. Isn't that the case?""You're right, Dr. Frost. But I suggest that we should come up with a plan before the final surgery. The chance of the patient hemorrhaging greatly during the surgical process is very high," an expert said.Another expert continued, "Even though things have been going on smoothly for us so far, the

The experts all looked embarrassed."Lad, I'm sorry. It's my narrow-mindedness that almost cost you precious time in saving the patient. I'd like to formally apologize to you.""I want to apologize to you too. Thank goodness you stemmed the bleeding for the patient. Otherwise, the consequences will be too heavy for you to shoulder.""Thank our lucky stars that you're here today. If not, we wouldn't know what to do."The experts all apologized and thanked Cassian simultaneously.Honestly speaking, Cassian was a little touched by what happened.Everyone would tend to be egotistical in modern society. Even if they did something wrong, many of them were unwilling to admit their mistakes, let alone apologize.Meanwhile, the experts standing before Cassian weren't just older—they were also famous surgical experts with pristine reputations. And yet, they were currently apologizing to Cassian. That meant they still valued the art of medicine more than their egos."You're far too courte
