Chapter 363
The doctor felt guilty. He had been appointed as the family doctor for many years, yet he could not save Dax at this crucial moment. Old Master Darby would not give up, so he asked again, “Doctor, what if the hole in the lung can be blocked? Would that save my grandson?” ‘Blocking the hole in the lung…’ the doctor considered it for a while and shook his head. Theoretically speaking, of course, the Young Master could be saved if the hole was blocked. However, the hole was deep and large, and with the current medical advancement, there was no way we could block up the hole. “There is a way!” Old Master Sanders said, his eyes sparkling. “There’s actually something that could block the hole.” “What is it?” Darryl replied. Old Master Sanders said with excitement, “Ten years ago, during the first Roger’s Auction, they sold something called Heart of the Ocean. This pill can heal a wound in an organ.” ‘Heart of the Ocean?’ Darryl thought. His eyes sparkled with a faint glow of

Back at Donghai City, something was going on inside the Adios cafe. This was a popular café in the city, known for its elegant ambiance and fancy decor. Even though the food cost more than any of the other cafés in town, this remained a favorite dating spot for rich kids, even if that meant paying a thousand extra bucks for a cup of coffee. Usually, this café was filled with customers, but it was unusually quiet today. Only a few young ladies sat around a table. Every one of them was gorgeous, and they would have caught the eyes of any man who set foot in the café. Circe Newman and her friends rented the entire space for coffee today. Even sitting among the other ladies, Circe still stood out as the most gorgeous one. Today, she was dressed in a pair of tight denim jeans, topped with a coffee-brown jumper. Her glowing hair rested on her shoulder, which made her look sexy and charming. Beside her was a lady with burgundy hair, and she looked as good as Circe. It was Evelyn Feather
Chapter 365
Circe bit her lips as she thought about Darryl, which made her upset. She had invited him to dinner twice, but he always found an excuse to get out of it. Two days ago, she invited him to the villa to refine pills, but he ran away halfway through. He was not a man of his word! Circe said to Evelyn flatly, “Evelyn, turn it off.” She did not want to speak to Darryl. However, Evelyn shook her head and smirked, “Why? He ran away the other day! I’m intrigued to find out what he’s got to say.” She answered the call and put it on the loudspeaker. After answering the call, Evelyn yelled, “Why are you calling, douchebag?” Darryl was panicking as sweat dripped down his head. He asked politely, “May I know if Miss Newman is with you?” Only the Heart of the Ocean could save Dax. He had to get hold of it no matter what it took. “She’s not here,” Evelyn answered coldly. He never explained why he ran away and instead asked for Circe right away. What a rude guy. Did he think he could g

‘Damn it! I was captured by the Heaven Cult from her villa the other day. It seems that she’s still angry at me!’ Darryl thought.“Miss Newman, I really need a favor from you. It’s a matter of life and death,” he pleaded. Although he did not know Circe long, he knew she had a kind heart under her cold façade. If not, she would not have apologized to him for the phone incident. “A matter of life and death?” Circe replied. Meanwhile, Evelyn smirked, thinking Darryl was suspicious, “Oh, cut the act! I can see that you’re just trying to get closer to Circe, am I right? Don’t you even dare to fantasize about that, you douche! Go lost and stop ruining our day!” Evelyn felt better after slapping him, but his face still annoyed her. Darryl did not respond and kept on looking at Circe with sincerity. Watching Darryl just stand there, Evelyn said, “Why are you still here? Aren’t you ashamed? Was the slap not enough for you?” She walked toward him and prepared to slap him again.

Darryl was unperturbed by their mockery. “Miss Newman, I’m serious. Please, tell me how much would you sell this for? I need it to save a life!” he said sincerely. It had been two hours, and Darryl did not know how Dax was doing or if his wound was worsening. “To save a life? Who’s life?” Circe frowned. Darryl came here covered in sweat, and he did not mind Evelyn slapping him earlier. It seemed that he was in a panic. “Dax,” Darryl answered. ‘Dax Sanders?’ Circe thought. Darryl did not seem like he was joking. Circe put down her wine glass and handed him the necklace right away. “If so, take this with you. Save him first; then we’ll talk about the money later.” A man’s life was at stake! Of course, she had to save him. Darryl was overwhelmed with excitement as he rushed forward to receive the necklace. However, Evelyn leaned forward and took the Heart of the Ocean away from Circe. “You!” Darryl stared at her in disbelief. “Give it to me. I really need it

‘Why was she so difficult!?’ Darryl thought furiously. He would do anything to save Dax’s life. Without hesitation, he bowed in front of Evelyn and said sincerely, “Miss Evelyn, I’m begging you. Please give me the Heart of Ocean.” Evelyn looked at him and shook her head with a smile. “Nope, that wasn’t sincere enough.” Darryl was speechless. ‘Damn it, why don’t I just dig out my heart and give it to her to show my sincerity!?’ As he was thinking, he heard Evelyn demand, “Kneel and beg me.” Darryl’s face darkened while the ladies could not help laughing out loud. All of them sat on chairs with coffees in their hands, anticipating the unfolding event. Circe wanted to say something, but she could not under the peer pressure. Darryl took a deep breath. He felt a flame igniting in his heart, and his body trembling with anger. A man only kneels to God and his parents. He clenched his fists and wanted to lash out, but he could not. He had no choice; without the Heart of Ocean, Da

“Hurry!” Evelyn scoffed, her fingers ready to break the necklace. Meanwhile, Circe could not stand it anymore.“Evelyn, that’s enough,” she said softly. Although Darryl did turn her down twice and ran away from the villa, perhaps he really did have his reasons. Evelyn was determined. She shook her head, “Circe, don’t feel bad for men like him.” Evelyn smiled as she watched Darryl try so hard to contain his anger. “What now? Do you want to fight me? I’ll give you three seconds to wash my feet, or you’ll never see the Heart of the Ocean ever again.” “Three!” She called out in a cold tone. “Two!” Darryl remained silent, his body trembling as he fought hard to restrain his anger. If he did not give in, Dax’s life would be ruined. If Dax died because of this, he would spend the rest of his life living with guilt. Darryl gritted his teeth and walked toward Evelyn. Under the gaze of all the ladies, he knelt in front of Evelyn and gently took off her shoes. Her feet were fair

It was four o’clock in the morning when it began to drizzle, and Darryl gave in to sleep again. This time, he dreamt on and off throughout, and he vaguely felt someone kicking his leg. He suddenly woke up and looked up to see Dax standing by the door staring down at him with a huge grin on his face. “Darryl? Are you trying to make me laugh at you being my guard? Haha!” Dax laughed, rocking back and forth. In this instant, Darryl’s eyes watered as he tried his best to hold back his tears. ‘He was alive. Dax was alive!’ Darryl thought. He jumped up right away and hugged Dax so tightly in his arms. “Damn it. Why are you hugging me!” Dax said with a look of disgust, but he could not fight back the grin on his face. He punched Darryl’s chest and laughed, “Right, I’m alive! Haha! I’m still alive! Hahaha!” Darryl started laughing too. The two men looked at each other without speaking as they kept on laughing. Nobody would understand the bond between them. Its beauty was bey
