Slyvia glanced at Sylvester and asked, "Seraphine, how's it going with my big brother these days?"Seraphine stifled a smile and said, "Things are looking good. He can never escape from me. Did you notice that aggrieved look on his face? It's so satisfying to look at. I thought he was some unapproachable prince charming, but it turns out that he isn't. In any case, he's mine." Sylvia was rendered speechless. She gazed at Sylvester, who indeed appeared just as Seraphine had described.Only now did Sylvester grasp that he had fallen right into Seraphine's scheme, yet he found himself powerless to change the situation. He approached Eric and asked, "Eric, it's been quite some time. Why hasn't Sylvia's face improved?"Over half a month had passed, and Orion had performed the Blossom Needling thrice, but Sylvia's face remained unchanged. It displayed slight improvement, but Sylvester began to doubt whether the treatment was effective.Eric met Sylvester's gaze and replied, "Blossom

Eric fully understood the difficulties and hardships his birth mother had faced. He realized that love had reasons, and hatred had causes. Any lingering resentment he had toward Grace had now dissipated.Eric had never met his biological father, and Grace had never mentioned him. Consequently, Eric treated him as if he simply didn't exist.As for Grace's health, it remained manageable. All she needed to do was take her medicine on time and get plenty of rest.-In the early morning, Eric began preparing her medicine. His newfound expertise in prescribing medications was clear evidence that he had learned a great deal.After breakfast, Eric and Sylvia visited Orion's place as usual. There was still so much for Eric to learn. Orion had plans to pass on his medical legacy to Eric after his retirement, and Eric was determined not to disappoint him.-Upon the completion of Orion's fifth Blossom Needling session, it was Eric's turn to carry on. He nervously glanced at Sylvia."Stay

Orion gestured and said, "You can leave early tonight. I've taught you all you need. Return next Tuesday and arrive a bit earlier."Next Tuesday marked Orion's retirement announcement. On that day, he planned to introduce Eric as his sole apprentice.At first, he hesitated. If Eric hadn't learned enough, the introduction could lead to problems. But now he had changed his mind. Eric's application of Blossom Needling put him at the top of holistic medicine. No one could harm him, so there was no reason not to introduce him.-As Orion's retirement date neared, people buzzed with excitement.Meanwhile, at the Montgomery residence.Sylvester asked, "Do you have any siblings?"He was warming up to Seraphine after spending time with her."I have an older brother," Seraphine said. "Do you think our family only does business in the country?"Sylvester understood. The Montgomerys had business in various industries, including overseas ventures. Seraphine's brother handled international

The Pleiades had arranged a special hall for Orion. The guests began arriving early in the morning. Naturally, Astrid and the Hernandez representatives were among them.Javier started a conversation. "Hol. Silver, I heard today Hol. Thornfield will announce his apprentice. I'm curious who it'll be."He had some guesses and wanted to see Astrid's reaction. Over the past month, only Eric and Sylvia had been seen going in and out of Orion's place, so who else could it be?Astrid glanced at him and chuckled. "Does it matter who it is? I just hope Orion doesn't forget what he owes me."He added, "Those two everyone talks about have barely been with Orion for a month. It makes me wonder if he has lost his mind with old age. Why pick an apprentice whom he has known for just a couple of months? I doubt they are anything special. They might not even match up to my own apprentices in skill."He had gathered info and knew that Orion's apprentice was probably Eric or Sylvia. But he didn't rea

It was not a good sign.Sylvia emerged from backstage and took a seat beside Sylvester and Seraphine. Seraphine chuckled and remarked, "Eric is on the path to fame today. The attendees at Hol. Thornfield's retirement ceremony are all influential figures in King City. Have you seen those dignified middle-aged men? They all hail from super elite families in King City, surpassing even the Montgomerys by a significant margin!"Sylvia was taken aback. She thought the Montgomerys were one of the top families in King City, but there were even more powerful ones!"It's not always good to be overly famous," Sylvia said. "In fact, I don't wish for him to become too famous. It might make me feel undeserving of him."Seraphine was at a loss for words. She sighed and said, "Vee, your beauty is your greatest asset. Plus, Eric loves you deeply. You deserve him."Sylvia smiled, knowing Eric's love for her.While they spoke, Orion and several assistants made their entrance. Orion appeared elder
Chapter 396
Orion gazed at Astrid and sighed. "Astri, why must you do this? You're my junior, after all. Shouldn't you respect my decisions?"Everyone was left perplexed. Little did they know that Astrid and Orion shared the same mentor.Today's retirement ceremony took an unexpected turn. Not only did Orion introduce his apprentice to the world, but the hidden connection between the two renowned holistic physicians of King City was also unveiled.Orion remarked, "You're overly competitive. It's not healthy."Astrid scoffed. "It's not about competitiveness. I'm simply concerned for you. After all these years without taking on apprentices, why start now? Are you afraid I'll covet your knowledge? Do you truly believe I want to take what's yours?"Orion was rendered speechless. He didn't wish to argue with Astrid, given their senior-junior relationship.With this in mind, he retrieved the acupoint technique manual and offered, "You've always wanted this, haven't you? I'll give it to you."Astr
Chapter 397
The crowd fell silent in shock.Before anyone could gather their wits, Seraphine sprang to her feet, exclaiming, "You've gone too far, Hol. Silver!"Alexander attempted to restrain her, but she brushed off his hand, insisting, "Dad, let me talk! Kindness doesn't equal weakness, Hol. Silver. You want a match, right? Eric, accept his challenge! Show him what you're made of!"Eric let out a sigh.Sylvia swiftly pulled Seraphine back, cautioning her, "Seraphine, please, enough! Eric prefers to stay low-key."In this regard, Eric resembled Orion quite closely."I just can't stand him!" Seraphine vented her frustration.Astrid scoffed at Seraphine and remarked, "Look, even a woman has more courage than you!"Orion wore a puzzled expression as he looked at Eric. "Do you want to accept his challenge? It seems like he's testing your skills. Maybe you should give him a taste.""Sure!" Eric nodded with a smile. He understood Astrid's intentions—he aimed to humiliate Orion through him."
Chapter 398
Seraphine clutched Sylvia's hand on the seat, her voice quivering with anxiety as she asked, "Vee, can Eric do it?"She worried about Eric. If she had known, she wouldn't have said those words. What if Eric lost to Hudson? Wouldn't it embarrass them in front of everyone?Sylvester gazed at her and advised, "So now you know it. You should consider the consequences before saying anything."To be honest, he was concerned, too. Eric had only trained in holistic medicine under Orion for a little over a month. Despite his talent and the praise surrounding him, Sylvester understood that Hudson was genuinely skilled.Sylvia smiled and assured, "Don't worry. Eric's got this. He'll definitely win."Sylvia had seen Eric perform acupoint techniques at Orion's residence. Eric's precision and range seemed to surpass Hudson's by a significant margin.On the stage, Orion glanced at the silver needle on the black dot and told Eric, "Take it easy. Spare his pride."Astrid overheard and chuckled.
