“Delilah Whitlock, look what you’ve done!”
“What kind of miracle doctor is this? He’s a murderer, not a doctor!”
“Grandpa doted on you, but it seems you can’t wait for him to die! You’re an evil, heartless wretch,
Delilah!”
The entire Whitlock family began throwing accusations and verbal abuse at Delilah.
When Delilah saw that Blanc was covered in blood, a look of panic shot through her eyes.
“Don’t worry. That’s just the blood that’s been congested internally in his system for far too long. He’ll
be fine in a little while,” Skylar explained calmly.
At this, Delilah nodded, and her panic subsided. After all, she would not have asked Skylar to come
and see her grandfather if she did not have full confidence in his abilities.
Before going to Kareem Fashion, she had personally talked to the terminal stomach cancer patient and
ascertained without a doubt that Skylar had used acupuncture to effect a miraculous cure. As a result,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe believed that Skylar possessed the ability to cure her grandfather as well.
Blanc’s illness was unusual and atypical, so naturally, one also had to make allowances for Skylar’s
unusual method of treatment. Delilah understood this, but the rest of the Whitlock family did not. Aunt
Veronica, in particular, was horrified. “You deceiving scoundrel! You’re a quack and a con artist! Even a
perfectly normal person would die in no time after bleeding so excessively, much less an old man on a
sickbed!” She accused Skylar in shrill, angry tones.
She did not wait for Skylar to reply, but rushed over to the bed and yanked out all the needles that had
been inserted into Blanc’s body.
“Hurry and get the hospital director here!” Harvey ordered, turning to the people beside him.
Skylar’s eyes glinted icily for a moment as he watched the Whitlocks. “Imbeciles! I really pity Blanc
Whitlock for having children and grandchildren like you!”
Whatever these Whitlocks had in mind, Skylar was not interested in finding out. He gathered up the
acupuncture needles and prepared to leave.
“Stay right there!” Harvey shouted suddenly. “Don’t you even think of leaving while poor Mr. Whitlock’s
lying there bleeding! You better give me an explanation or an antidote right now!”
“Exactly! This b*stard quack needs to be investigated thoroughly; who knows if he’s in cahoots with
Delilah to steal the family fortune!”
“No wonder he’s in such a hurry to leave! This is a matter for the police now; grab him, and don’t let
him get away!”
The Whitlock family was in an uproar, accusations and recriminations flying freely.
Once Skylar was taken into custody, they would be able to blame Delilah for everything. Naturally, they
would split her portion of the shares once they wrested them away from her, so they had no intention of
allowing Skylar to leave just like that.
However, Skylar ignored them all and headed toward the door. Did these idiots really think they could
stop him from departing? In their dreams, perhaps!
When Harvey realized that Skylar was going to leave, regardless, he bellowed, “Security! Stop this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmquack from leaving!”
Immediately, the sound of running footsteps could be heard from the corridor outside, and twenty-over
black-garbed men wearing in-ear monitors burst through the door right in front of Skylar.
“Young fellow, you just stay right where you are, or else you’re going to be sorry!” The leader of the
security team warned.
Skylar eyed the entire security detail, then said blandly, “I’m Skylar Stone. If I want to leave, not even
the gods themselves can stop me!”
This enraged the team leader. “You’re too arrogant for your own good, you pipsqueak! Very well, we’ll
show you just how sorry you’re going to be!”
He was about to order everyone present to stop Skylar’s departure and secure him. However, just as
he opened his mouth, an expression of disbelief slowly spread across his face.
As soon as Skylar advanced toward him, his entire body felt as if it had turned to stone. He could not
move at all or even twitch a muscle. What was more, he couldn’t even close his open mouth. He tried
to speak, but no words came out.
All twenty-over members of the security detail fared exactly the same. It was as if their bodies had been
encased in concrete; they were rooted to the spot and could not move, no matter how they tried.
The only thing they could do was move their eyes…
