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

The Oberdeens only knew Eric as a holistic medicine physician and Sylvia as his wife. Unaware of their deep bond, attempting to cause problems, blame, or tarnish their reputation wouldn't be enough to break their connection.Queenie had endured agonizing days for the past five years, with the promise of freedom from the Oberdeens after completing a task.Naturally, Queenie would go all out for her child."You almost caused a disaster!" Connor exclaimed.It wasn't that he aimed to blame Queenie, but he couldn't fathom why she still chose to act this way after all their discussions.Sylvester checked the time and said, "Connor, Eric and Sylvia should be at the hospital by now. You punched Eric last night, so go and apologize in person. If they accept, consider the matter settled."Connor nodded understandingly. Reflecting, he felt he had been too impulsive the previous night.Queenie wiped away tears and said, "Connor, I'll go with you. Mrs. Williams, could you take care of Coulso

In reality, Winston felt at ease. Even if he didn't win today, it would simply be a tie.The other patient had already begun chemotherapy. Neal and his team appeared well-prepared, aiming to recover lost ground.Though the first day's confrontation had ended in a draw, Neal acknowledged that modern medicine's performance that day had been far from commendable. Thus, they could regain some of their reputation by completely outshining holistic medicine today.Winston summoned a nurse to bring in a bed, intending to start the treatment right away. Without consulting the patient's medical history, he had them lie down and instructed an assistant to fetch the silver needle box.Holistic medicine's essence lay in observation, with the pinnacle represented by the use of silver needles. Yet, what Winston demonstrated in holistic medicine that day was just the tip of the iceberg.Winston wasn't concerned about doctors learning his acupoint method because they couldn't. Even those studying

Now, Winston appeared to have little inner energy left as he aged.Eric nodded slightly and said, "Hol. Clarke, take a good rest. I'll handle this patient."After speaking, he picked up the silver needle and continued the treatment.Cameras from various media outlets focused on Eric, leaving many puzzled. They wondered if the acupoint method could be continued by someone else.Eric remained calm, picking up the silver needles and steadily placing them.Witnessing this scene, several holistic physicians were stunned."Impressive! When did we get such amazing talent in our community? Why haven't I heard of him?" exclaimed one of the holistic physicians.Upon closer inspection, it seemed that Eric's skills surpassed Winston's. Logically, they should have heard of such a renowned holistic physician.Winston chuckled. "You all pay too much attention to honor, and you're not attentive enough to the affairs of the holistic medicine field. Hol. Johnson is the only apprentice of Hol. Th
