Chapter 426
The Hernandezes were deeply offended. They were a well-known family in King City, but an intruder had entered their home and left without consequences. The issue was not that Javier was unwilling to take action—he simply didn't have the courage.When Grace had visited previously, he had refrained from retaliating because he knew he was at fault. Furthermore, getting into a fight with the Montgomerys wouldn't benefit the Hernandezes in any way.This time, it was Eric who had broken into their home with fighters from the Montgomerys. Eric was already a skilled martial artist, and what made Javier even more anxious was Eric's influential status as the sole apprentice of Orion.More troubling news arrived when Astrid was arrested for allegedly attempting to kill Orion, even though there was no confirmation of Orion's death.Javier could no longer remain passive. According to Astrid, no one would discover that he had tried to kill Orion, but it seemed that events were not going as plann
Chapter 427
"As you wish, Master!" Eric's eyes welled with tears. It seemed to him that Orion had truly accepted his impending death.-Over the next two days, Eric and Sylvia remained in the villa, staying by Orion's side as he approached the end of his life. By then, Eric and Sylvia could see that Orion had genuinely made peace with his fate.-On the third evening, members of the Montgomerys had all gathered. Several elderly holistic physicians from King City and their apprentices came to bid farewell to Orion as well."Orion…" An elderly holistic physician said with sadness, "Rest assured. I've looked into Astrid's situation. He's likely to spend the rest of his life behind bars. I've also informed the Hernandezes. In the future, people in the holistic medicine community won't have any dealings with them."These senior holistic physicians held significant sway and authority in the holistic medicine community. They possessed the most profound medical skills, and the growth of holistic med
Chapter 428
A fierce debate had arisen over who should represent the holistic medicine community. It soon became evident that Orion was the perfect choice. He had exceptional medical skills, but his care extended beyond the privileged.To him, both the privileged and ordinary people were merely patients in need of his treatment. His medical ethics shone through his actions, earning him the respect of prestigious families in King City, as well as figures in politics and celebrities from various fields.Following his passing, it was clear that simplifying the funeral arrangements was impossible. Many people came to pay their respects throughout the day, with some unable to enter the mourning hall.It wasn't until two days later that Orion was finally laid to rest.Grace purchased the burial site at a considerable cost, a place Orion had once visited and adored. She also hired a priest to perform the ceremony.-While in theory, Orion's life was fulfilled, Eric couldn't help but feel sorrowful.

"Let them in, Madam Baresi," Eric said.After a while, Felicia brought a woman. Eric and Sylvia recognized her. It was Jessica, the one who had visited the Williams in Salt City."Have you had breakfast?" Sylvia asked. "If not, come and join us. Madam Baresi just prepared it."Jessica smiled faintly. "Thanks, but I've already eaten."Sylvia nodded and quietly sat down for breakfast. Eric occasionally shared tasty morsels with Sylvia. Jessica observed in silence without saying much.After breakfast, Eric approached Jessica. "Is someone in your family unwell?"Although Jessica and her family had attended Orion's funeral in the past few days, she had not spoken much with Eric. Even now, Eric did not know much about Jessica's identity. However, he did not really care about those he was not interested in.He could not see any signs of illness from Jessica's healthy appearance. It was likely that someone in her family was sick.Jessica smiled and said, "It's not my family. It's me."
Chapter 430
Jessica stomped her foot in frustration as Eric vanished on the second floor. She believed she outclassed Sylvia, be it in her background or beauty. She believed that Sylvia's face would only repel people.Realizing she might have stirred up trouble, Jessica left the villa. She noticed the water tank near the entrance. The yard boasted some flowers and plants, and the tank served to avert water shortages.Approaching the tank, Jessica gazed inside. It held only her reflection, making her realize something suddenly. She exclaimed angrily, "Eric! You bastard!"At that point, she would be foolish not to understand Eric's insinuation. He hadn't asked her to look in a mirror but to check the water tank. Wasn't he implying her inferiority to Sylvia?-Meanwhile, on the second floor.Sylvia had just finished making the bed. Spotting Eric, she remarked, "Why did you rush up here instead of helping a beautiful lady? You're not needed anyway."By the way, what illness does Ms. Watson have
Chapter 431
Eric and Sylvia awoke this morning feeling a bit nervous. It marked the ninth Blossom Needling session, which held the promise of potentially eliminating the scars on Sylvia's face.Grace, Alexander, and a few other relatives arrived early in the morning. They were genuinely concerned about the procedure, driven solely by their care for Sylvia.Grace looked at Eric with concern and asked, "Eric, everything will be fine, right?"Eric nodded and commenced the treatment. Each needle brought forth excruciating pain for Sylvia, but she endured it, maintaining a determined gaze fixed upon Eric.Eric took a deep breath, reminding himself that his primary motive for becoming Orion's apprentice was to cure Sylvia's scars. He firmly believed in the treatment's success.He calmed his emotions and delicately inserted each needle. As the final needle was placed, everyone's eyes remained fixed on Sylvia's cheek, awaiting a miracle.Eric remained seated, outwardly composed but inwardly anxious.
Chapter 432
Sylvia rushed into Eric's arms, crying. She had come to terms with the fact her face could never be restored. But when the scars vanished, tears of joy streamed down her cheeks, and suddenly, everything looked beautiful.They embraced each other for a long time.Alexander glanced at Grace and sighed softly. He felt Eric's destiny differed from his mother's. Fortunately, Grace had Alexander to protect her, while Eric proved highly capable.Eric gently wiped away Sylvia's tears. In the end, he fulfilled his promise to her.-King City was livelier than Salt City. After a few days there, they bid farewell to Grace and returned to Salt City. Grace had played a significant role in Sylvia's healing, yet their home was in Salt City, and they preferred it.Sylvia and Eric kept their return a surprise to the Williams.In the evening, they arrived at the Williams residence.The Williams were having dinner, with Connor also present.Amelia missed Sylvia the most and remarked, "I wonder w
Chapter 433
Everything was on the right track. Eric didn't really care about his appearance.Amelia sighed and asked, "If you can cure Vee, why not yourself?"All eyes turned to Eric. While all the scars on Sylvia's face had vanished, Eric still bore numerous scars. He grinned and explained, "It's quite challenging, given the precision required."A collective sigh filled the room."Don't worry." Eric chuckled, "I'm a guy. I don't really mind my looks. Even if I can't heal myself, it's okay. As long as Sylvia doesn't leave me."Although his words carried a hint of playfulness, Amelia felt a twinge of discomfort. She declared, "If she ever dares to leave you, I'll disown her. I mean it!""Mom…" Sylvia protested, "I'm not that kind of woman…"Eric laughed, understanding that Amelia was joking. He had no intention of leaving Sylvia, and he was sure she felt the same way.Sylvester chimed in. "Now that your scars have healed, it's time to take back your CEO position. The company's recent perfor
