The next morning, Darryl was lying under the scented blanket with Monica in his arms. Any man would be jealous of a sweet scene like this. Last night, Monica was very drunk, and she did not let him leave, so Darryl had no choice but to stay for the night. Nothing happened between them last night because Monica was drunk and Darryl was too tired. He only hugged her to sleep. Ding! Suddenly, a loud ring on a phone woke Darryl up from his sweet dream. ‘Damn it, who would call at this hour!?’ he wondered. Darryl opened his eyes in a blur and looked at the incoming call. In an instant, he frowned. “Damn it, the caller’s ID ends with six sixes. Whoever’s calling is not an ordinary man,” he muttered as he picked up the phone. Suddenly, Darryl heard a familiar voice from the call. “Darryl, where are you?” the voice said. It was his uncle, Drake Darby, the patriarch of the Darby family. Darryl’s face darkened, and in an instant, he was wide awake. Not long ago, his fa

The Donghai City First Hospital was busier than usual, especially the second floor. It was filled with people, including the Darby family members as well as all the wealthy families across the city. The heart-breaking news had spread around the city yesterday. One had to admit that the Old Master Darby was one of the most important people in Donghai City. Once the news of his health got out, all the established families sent their men to visit him. The news was true. Old Master Darby was ill. He was diagnosed with acute leukemia, and all his visitors felt bad for him while feeling confused. Everyone knew that Old Master Darby was a high ranking cultivator, and he had reached the level of Martial Marquis. How could he possibly get leukemia? Everyone knew that the body of a cultivator was stronger than any ordinary man. The body’s immune system became stronger after cultivating. Although you could still get infected with the flu or fever, it was unlikely to get any major diseases

It was three o’clock in the afternoon when a taxi sped and pulled over at the Donghai City First Hospital. A young man rushed out of the car and marched into the hospital. It was Darryl. After getting the call from Drake, Darryl had mixed feelings. He was not sure whether he wanted to come. They almost killed his father after all. However, he thought about the likelihood of his Grandfather passing away, and he felt the need to pay him a visit. Since he was young, Grandpa had been fond of him, and Darryl could not let Grandpa down even if he did. Upon arrival, he marched straight to the second-floor hallway. It was filled with visitors and some familiar faces that he was not in the mood to greet. Some ladies even called out when they saw Darryl. “Didn’t this live-in son-in-law get kicked out of the Darby family?” someone asked. Darryl was not bothered by the comments and went straight into the ward. The moment he pushed open the door, everyone stared at him coldly. ‘Wha

Everyone was in shock. Darryl frowned as he knew it was not going well. “I need to clarify that a bone marrow transplant is a high-risk procedure. The donor might even lose their life during the transplant. Although this is highly unlikely, it’s still possible. Even without the apparent side effects, the donor’s immune system will be weaker after the transplant. The most important thing is that it would slow down the process of cultivation compared to others,” Shelly continued as she glanced around the ward. After hearing what Shelly said, everyone looked at each other with a confused and terrified look. Nobody seemed willing to donate their bone marrow. Some of them even took a few steps back. Of course, humans were a selfish species. Watching the change of expression on the faces of the fellow members, Darryl laughed to himself secretly. Old Master Darby had given up so much for his family. It went without saying that there would be no Darby family as you know it today if

Darryl almost wanted to laugh. He did not mind donating his bone marrow, but Grandpa’s words were heartbreaking. He appointed Darryl to donate merely because it could harm your body? He did not want Florian to be harmed, but it was okay if Darryl was harmed? “Good choice, Grandpa. Let Darryl do it,” someone called out from the crowd. Suddenly, everyone nodded in unison. “Exactly, a bastard like him owes it to the family. It should be him!” “It’s your chance to pay back the family.” Hearing that, Darryl could not help laughing. ‘Haha! So this is my so-called family! I saw their true colors a long time ago!’ he thought. Meanwhile, Yumi walked out from the crowd and scowled at Darryl. “Darryl, don’t be too sad. It’s an honor to be the donor. This is your chance for redemption, so shouldn’t you be thankful?” ‘Redemption? As if it was true!’ Darryl thought. Darryl took a deep breath and laughed, “Yumi, you don’t have to try to force me into it. I can donate no problem

“This involves our family. You have no say in it.” ‘F*ck you all!’ Dax thought. Dax was so enraged that he lunged at Florian and grabbed him by his shirt without a single word. Smack! Without warning, Dax landed a loud and crisp slap on Florian’s face. The slap was so strong that Florian’s face was instantly swollen. Suddenly, the ward became pin-drop silent. Everyone was scared and angry, but nobody dared to make a move. Florian groaned in pain as he looked at Dax in shock and fear. “You…you…” ‘Damn it! He was the Young Master of the Darby family. It was humiliating to get slapped by Dax in front of everyone! Many of the big families were watching them from outside the ward. It was so mortifying!’ he thought. “Florian, right? Let me tell you that the Darby family has nothing to do with me, and I have no interest in your sh*t, but strain your ears and listen carefully. If it has anything to do with Darryl, it has to go through me first! I’ll kill whoever touches a st

Recently, Abbess Mother Serendipity and the Emei disciples have been residing at the Darby mansion. She had been grateful for the kindness shown to them by the Darby family. Once she heard the news, Abbess Mother Serendipity rushed to the hospital right away. She was furious at the event unfolding before her eyes. “Old Master Darby, please stay calm. You’re quite ill. Please take good care of your body. Let me help you get rid of trash like Darryl,” she comforted. She stared at Darryl with an unusually chilling glare. In an instant, Darryl felt trapped by a deadly aura and panicked a little. ‘Why was this Abbess Mother Serendipity everywhere? Most importantly, why was she helping the Darby family?’ he wondered. Dax, who was beside Darryl, frowned at the sight of her. Abbess Mother Serendipity had such a strong presence. Darryl tried his best to calm down.“Abbess Mother Serendipity, I don’t remember offending you? Why do you have to keep bothering me?” he asked, frowni

They had no choice but to fight back. “Why are you still here!? Run!” Dax yelled when he saw that Darryl did not run away but stayed with him. Dax blocked the sword with his ax. “Ignorance kills,” Abbess Mother Serendipity scoffed. ‘He was only a Master General. What made him think he could fight. He was asking to be killed,’ she thought.Without warning, Abbess Mother Serendipity moved swiftly, and her sword went right through Dax’s heart. Instantly, blood gushed out of his chest, uncontrollably. Dax slowly fell to the ground. The sword went through his body. “Argh!” Dax groaned and staggered in pain, his aura weakening immediately. “Dax!” Darryl groaned as he watched Dax in pain, shivering. He rushed toward Dax to hold him up, but by then, Dax’s face had already turned pale as blood kept spilling out of him, staining his body. He could feel that he would not make it this time, but he did not regret what he did. “Dax…” Darryl groaned with anger, his eyes blood

Abbess Mother Serendipity landed steadily on the floor. She looked around but did not see Darryl. “You’re lucky to have gotten away today, but I’ll kill you the next time I see you,” she muttered with the sword in her hand. She was standing in a pool of blood on the floor that must have been Dax’s. He was unlikely to make it. Then, she made her way back to the ward. On her way back, she could not help wondering what happened.‘Why did my sword not hurt him? Even if he mastered one of those self-defenses like the Golden Defense, with his power of a Master General, there was no way he could have shielded himself from the sword,’ she thought. Meanwhile, the ward was filled with silence. Abbess Mother Serendipity walked in and glanced around. “Old Master Darby, I’m sorry if I frightened you earlier. I’m sorry that I let the bastard get away. Please, rest. I’ll leave you with your family.” She was ashamed to have let Darryl run away.Old Master Darby nodded and watched her ti

Meanwhile, Old Master Darby took in a long breath and said, “Director Sullivan, the operation is happening tomorrow? I’ll get some rest now.” All he could think of was what happened earlier. His eyes darkened in anger, so he wanted to get some rest. Shelly smiled and nodded. “That’s right. The operation is tomorrow. Please keep the noise down when Old Master Darby is sleeping. He needs all the rest he can get before the operation tomorrow.” With that, Shelly left the ward. After she left, Yumi walked forward and said, “Why don’t you all go back and get some rest? I’ll stay here with Florian to take care of Grandpa.” Everyone had stayed here since last night. None of them managed to get any rest. Drake was tired as he asked, “Are you two alright staying here?” “Dad, we’ll be fine,” Yumi smiled. “Florian and I will take good care of Grandpa. Just go home and get some rest.” “Alright, alright.” Drake was pleased that his son was lucky to have such an understanding wife.
