Chapter 548
Sam fell ill, and Eric, who happened to be a holistic physician, was informed by Vince that Sam had a serious illness. Eric's expertise was in handling such matters.After a few bites, Eric asked Vince, "Is Mr. Hampton at home or in the hospital?"Vince replied, "They mentioned that he's in the ICU."Upon hearing that Sam was in the ICU, Eric understood the seriousness of the situation. He said, "Let's head to the hospital after we finish eating."With important matters on their minds, the group quickly finished their meal.-At the hospital. They encountered the Hamptons there. The Hamptons weren't a prominent family in Volpolis, and Frontier Digital wasn't a top conglomerate in the city, but it had some prestige.The Hamptons were surprised to see Eric and his group. Even though they didn't recognize the others, they knew Sylvia.A young man approached them, Noel Hampton, the current head of Frontier Digital. He looked at Sylvia and said indifferently, "Ms. Williams, I've a

Anson glanced at Eric and pursed his lips in silence. Eric's youth made it hard for Anson to believe he could help Sam. However, the fact that the head of the holistic medicine department had faith in Eric made him think otherwise.'Could he really save Mr. Hampton?' he pondered.After briefing Eric about Sam's condition, Tiago said, "Hol. Johnson, let's head to the ICU.""Okay," Eric replied.They all donned white coats and masks before making their way to the ICU. Even behind a mask, Eric's distinctive features stood out, astonishing Noel when he saw Eric and Anson together.Eric nodded at Sylvia and then entered the ward with Anson and Tiago."What's going on?" Noel asked.After Eric nodded at Sylvia, Noel recognized him as the man with the imposing scars.In his moment of confusion, Anson stepped out of the ward and asked, "Where are Mr. Hampton's family members?"The Hamptons quickly gathered around Anson.Anson explained, "Mr. Hampton's condition is very serious. We've

"Hol, Johnson?" Anson appeared puzzled. Just a few minutes earlier, Eric had requested that he inform the Hamptons about a change in their treatment plan.It was hard for Anson to believe that Eric had come up with a new treatment plan in such a short time. Eric had only performed standard procedures like checking Sam's condition and writing a prescription.In modern medicine, a patient needed to be diagnosed before receiving medication. Eric's approach seemed too straightforward.Anson wondered if Eric truly understood all of the patient's conditions with just a quick assessment.With many doubts in his mind, Anson inquired, "Is the plan ready?"He didn't want to question Eric too much. After all, if the head of the holistic medicine department held Eric in high regard, he must have significant influence. Anson, with years of experience in medicine, knew whom to avoid offending, and Eric was one of those individuals.Anson had heard that there were very few experienced physician

"If massage were effective, wouldn't the detoxification medicines on the market become obsolete?"Eric just smiled and remained silent, knowing that even if he spoke, Anson wouldn't understand.After massaging Sam for a while, Tiago approached with a bowl of medicinal concoction. Observing Eric's actions, he became excited. As a holistic physician, he was familiar with advanced detoxification techniques. Combining this knowledge with Eric's request to prepare the detoxification medicine, he had already deduced the situation.Once Eric finished the massage, Tiago approached and stated, "Hol. Johnson, the detoxification medicine is ready."Eric nodded and added, "Find a way to get him to drink it. Afterward, ensure he wears a diaper, and we'll assess the situation tomorrow.""Anything else?" Tiago inquired.Eric shook his head, replying, "That's it for tonight. I'll go back to the hotel to rest.""Hol. Johnson, I'll escort you!"Tiago handed the detoxification medicine to Anson a

Early in the morning, Eric hurried to the hospital after breakfast, still deeply concerned about Sam's life.Sylvia accompanied him—the couple was inseparable wherever they went.An argument unfolded at the ICU entrance upon their arrival at the hospital. As they approached, the Hampton family members conveyed a sense of hopelessness.Sylvia recalled Eric's optimistic words the night before and wondered why the family chose to discontinue treatment when there seemed to be a chance for Sam's recovery."What are you doing? Your father clearly has hope! His condition has improved significantly compared to yesterday. How can you give up now?"Anson struggled to comprehend the choice and pointed out the rare opportunity presented by a skilled holistic physician. He questioned why they decided to halt treatment despite Sam's evident improvement and the family's financial capability.Eric quietly instructed Sylvia upon hearing that, "Go and call the police. Tell them to hurry!""Alrigh

Debby repeatedly swung her bag at Noel in a fit of anger."He is your father!" Debby yelled. "He clearly had hope, so why did you secretly decide to take him out of the hospital? You unfilial son! I'll beat you to death!"Her husband remained in the ICU, and now her son seemed intent on taking his father's life. How could she not cry?Eric and the others realized that Noel intended to remove Sam from the hospital without the family's knowledge.Izzie Hampton, Sam's daughter, approached Anson and asked, "Dr. Keys, has my father's condition really improved? It's only been a day. I find it hard to believe.""It's not just an improvement—it's significant," Anson replied. "If we continue the treatment, your father could be discharged within a few days. Can you explain why your brother wants to give up the treatment?"Izzie shook her head. "Last night, my brother voluntarily stayed to take care of my father, and I thought he genuinely wanted to help. I didn't expect him to try to take

Eric, Anson, and the others disregarded Noel's thoughts, striving to save their patients as long as a glimmer of hope remained. They wouldn't easily give up unless the family faced extreme financial hardship, and the expenses had skyrocketed.Physicians and family members, in general, were not quick to surrender. Sam's situation was notably better than others. His health had significantly improved, and the Hampton family wasn't lacking in funds.Anson observed the medical instruments, remarking, "Tiago, recent test results indicate an 80% reduction in toxins in the patient's body. At this pace, I believe he can be discharged tomorrow."Anson was eager to understand Eric's method, appreciating its minimal impact on the patient and fewer complex precautions. However, Tiago mentioned that this technique was exclusive to highly skilled holistic physicians. Anson acknowledged the Hampton family's luck in encountering Eric.Nevertheless, Eric disagreed. "Organ damage is irreversible, and

Eric took action for two reasons. After administering the treatment, Eric and Sylvia left the hospital.As Anson exited the ICU, the members of the Hampton family approached him."Is my dad really okay?" Izzie asked.Anson smiled and replied, "You're very lucky to have encountered a highly skilled physician. Hol. Johnson mentioned your dad will wake up around 7:00 p.m., so let's wait and see!"It was surprising to pinpoint Sam's waking time. If they had performed surgery on Sam, predicting his waking time would be uncertain. He could wake up at any moment, or he might not wake up at all.The Hamptons felt overwhelmed with joy. After asking a few questions, Izzie realized that the so-called Hol. Johnson was the man with facial scars, and it all became clear to her. Sam would have been in danger if not for the Innova Group's desire to cooperate with the Hamptons.-Sylvia expressed her concerns, "Eric, Noel must know something, or he wouldn't have said we would harm the Hamptons.
