The treatment was completed, but modern medicine hadn't yielded any results yet. The doctors weren't expecting another breakthrough from holistic medicine. They consoled themselves, thinking Eric was just trying to stabilize the situation and wait for Winston.The elderly holistic physicians couldn't say much. Regardless of its effectiveness, the situation had stabilized for now. Until the results from modern medicine were out, it seemed like holistic medicine had the upper hand.Winston finally returned, clutching his stomach.The elderly holistic physicians quickly approached him."Hol. Clarke, what happened? How could you have diarrhea?"Perhaps Eric was right—someone had administered laxatives in his food.Feeling weak, Winston said, "Breakfast... Someone spiked my breakfast with a laxative."This was the only reason that made sense. Otherwise, how could he suddenly have diarrhea?With that said, he pushed aside the group. "Let me treat the patient first."Even with diarrh

Everyone focused on the nurse emerging from the room. Kidney stones were typically a minor concern."How are the results?" Neal asked, locking eyes with the nurse.Sensing a confrontation, the nurse kept her response brief. She placed the results of the two patients on the table and exited.Neal chuckled as he picked up the results, but his expression darkened abruptly.Winston calmly prompted, "Dr. Cardin, what do the results say? Please inform everyone."Confident in Eric's intervention, Winston anticipated victory.Neal smiled, announcing, "Both patients have successfully passed their kidney stones, making this round a draw!"Despite his declaration, the journalists scrutinized the documents, noting the discrepancies.One holistic physician examined the report and scoffed. "Dr. Cardin, there is clear residue in the patient's kidneys after the ultrasound treatment. Meanwhile, the patient treated with holistic medicine shows no such residues. How can you call this a draw?!"G

Connor and Queenie took Coulson for a stroll, indulged in some delectable cuisine, and purchased stylish clothes.Despite not addressing Connor as 'Dad', Coulson maintained a close relationship with him, displaying remarkable sensibility.While Connor engaged with Coulson, Queenie sat down, engrossed in her phone. Suddenly, her expression underwent a dramatic change."Queenie, what's wrong?" Connor asked.She snapped back to reality, shaking her head briskly. "It's... nothing. Connor, I overheard you mentioning Eric's formidable power. Just how powerful is he? I mean no offense, but with the Oberdeens likely coming to Salt City, I'm concerned about him..."Connor chuckled. "Let me tell you, some folks claim to have connections, but Eric doesn't need them to get things done!"Queenie's expression changed slightly.Connor continued. "Aside from his ties to the Montgomerys and Hernandezes, Eric is talented. He co-founded the Innova Group, a tech giant dominating the domestic market

In the evening, the Williams gathered together.Henry and Amelia shared hearty peals of laughter. At their stage in life, their greatest joy came from having their children and grandchildren around. Financial concerns no longer bothered them—their family was far from lacking in wealth.Irvin took a sip of wine and expressed his frustration, "I've seen the true colors of those modern medicine folks—people who take your money without delivering results!"Do you know how much my father's medical bills cost? Not less than 500,000 dollars, and with no results! We can afford such high expenses because we have money, but an ordinary family can do nothing about it!"The thought angered him. Josh had shown no improvement despite the substantial hospital expenses, while Eric's acupoint treatment had revived him without costing a penny.Turning to Eric, Irvin asked, "Brother Eric, how much would you charge for that treatment if someone else needed it?"He sought a benchmark.Eric smiled.

Queenie pursed her lips and said, "I often hear Connor mention you these days. I believe you've also heard some things about me. The Oberdeens will definitely come to Salt City, so I want to talk to you."She pointed to the balcony and added, "Shall we talk over there?""Alright." Eric nodded, and they headed to the balcony. The gentle night breeze made it an ideal place for conversation.Eric was prepared to sit under the umbrella, letting Queenie speak at her own pace.However, Queenie said, "It won't take long, just a few sentences."Eric nodded, waiting for her to continue.She sighed and said, "Connor said he's not afraid of the Oberdeens with you around, and I'm grateful for that. Coulson was often bullied in the Oberdeens. He rarely smiled in the past, but after coming to Salt City, he's been smiling a lot lately."When the Oberdeens come..."Eric was listening attentively. Little did he know what happened next would leave him bewildered.The weather was somewhat hot, a

Seraphine was forthright, firmly siding with Eric.Ignoring the others' expressions, she said, "Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? Would Eric really harm you? It's a fact that Sylvia is a peerless beauty."I assume you haven't heard their love story. If you had, this incident wouldn't have occurred tonight. You see, Ruth McClain and Jessica Watson from top-tier families in King City are also attracted to Eric."But Eric doesn't give a damn about them! So, who do you think you are? You're only from a third-tier wealthy family!"So stop humiliating yourself!"Seraphine was on point.Irvin couldn't help but nod. He believed in Eric's character. As an heir of a major family in King City, excelling in both holistic medicine and martial arts, what did he lack?Connor also began to doubt himself. He realized he had acted impulsively, driven by anger. If Eric had been truly arrogant and domineering, Connor would have been the one hit just now.Sylvia had been mas

Henry refrained from taking sides on who was right or wrong, but the incident undoubtedly cast a looming shadow over the family's future. Regardless of the unfolding events, an unmistakable divide would emerge between this family and Queenie and Eric.-Once inside the car, Eric broke the silence. "Do you trust me this much?"Back at the Williams residence, Eric hadn't uttered a word, let alone offered an explanation. He acknowledged that explanations held no value in that particular situation.Sylvia smiled. "Why wouldn't I trust you? Besides, I understand you. You would never do such a thing.""Poor Connor. Queenie clearly came to Salt City with a purpose. If the Oberdeens back her, it's fine. At least we know our enemy. But if it's someone else, it's a bit troublesome.""Thank you," Eric sincerely expressed his gratitude.-At the Williams residence.Queenie had taken Coulson to their room.Connor sat on the sofa, visibly distressed.Henry, Godrick, Amelia, and the rest o

While Coulson was in the restroom, Connor closed the door.After Coulson finished his business, Connor looked at him and asked, "Coulson, tell me honestly, did the Oberdeens really abuse you and your mom?"The events of the previous night made Connor trust Queenie less. However, children didn't lie. Connor wanted to confirm if certain things Queenie had said were true.Coulson looked at Connor and said, "Our home is big like yours, but there are a lot of people, especially older cousins, who bully me. They won't let me play with toys, enjoy tasty food, or join in their games."While speaking, Coulson started sobbing. "They don't even let me see my mom. They are all bad guys."Connor felt a pang in his heart. Just as he was about to say something, Queenie's voice interrupted, "Coulson, are you done yet?"Connor helped Coulson pull up his pants. When they came out, Queenie was holding a suitcase, the one she had brought to Salt City."Let's talk," Connor said."What is there to t
