“You want me to sleep upstairs?
“Why? Are you trying to seduce me?” Clarence laughed teasingly after a moment’s silence.
If this had happened in the past, Miranda would have lost her mind and yelled at Clarence.
However, things were different today.
Not only did Miranda not get angry, she felt a strange emotion in her heart as she said, “No. I can let you sleep in the room…
“On one condition: you can’t touch me!”
Clarence stood rooted to the spot, not saying a word.
Miranda added, “Is that okay?”
“Never mind. We might get divorced in the future, so best not to ruin your purity now.
“You should go to bed soon!” Clarence shook his head as he walked back into the guest room and shut the door behind him.
Miranda sat on the couch and continued to hug her legs to herself, an odd feeling in her heart.
The next morning.
When Clarence woke up, Miranda was nowhere to be found and she had left a note on the table saying she had gone to work.
After having breakfast, Clarence prepared to recall the contents of Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture and 720 Anatomy Acupoints.
Although he did not understand why these things had appeared in his mind all of a sudden...
Clarence still treated them as God’s gifts to him!
If that was the case, Clarence had to make sure that he would not lose such a gift so easily.
Moreover, Clarence could see through things with just his naked eyes now. It was his biggest advantage when it came to saving patients, because he could look into the patients’ bodies and assess their conditions.
Clarence summoned his concentration and stared ahead of him.
Clarence managed to look right through the screen of the LCD television and see the inner structure of the television. The circuit boards and wires all appeared in front of his eyes.
Clarence felt a surge of excitement.
Sure enough, he could look through anything as long as he concentrated!
Clarence tried it out on the other pieces of furniture. He managed to look through the coffee table, teapots, couches, remotes, and even more.
Just as Clarence was thinking about testing if he could see through walls, the phone rang.
“Hello? Master Howard, do you have a minute to spare?”
Johnson was on the other end of the line.
“What’s wrong?
“Has there been an issue with your recovery?” Clarence asked confusedly.
Johnson hurriedly reassured Clarence. “No! I went for a checkup at the hospital immediately after what happened the other day. The doctor said that my kidney has now resumed function.
“Haha! I have you to thank for that, Master Howard.”
“You didn’t call me just to thank me, did you?” Clarence asked as he chuckled.
Johnson laughed. “Master Howard, you truly are a master!
“A well-known person is sick, and the entire Mediterranean City is involved.”
“What well-known person?” Clarence asked with interest.
Johnson hurriedly explained to Clarence, “The old master of Hayes Consortium, Joshua Hayes. He had a sudden stroke and is now laying in the hospital!
“Old Master Hayes took ill last night. Multiple experts from Beth City have visited throughout the night, but none of them know what to do!
“Jackson Hayes and his wife are at their wits’ end!
“Old Master Hayes holds an important position in Mediterranean City.
“The Hayes family has had such success in Mediterranean City because of Old Master Hayes’ connections and contacts in Beth City.
“The two other families would never make things easy for the Hayes family if Old Master Hayes died and left them with no support system.
“The Hayes family put out a notice this morning saying that whoever can save Old Master Hayes will be the Hayes family’s savior!”
Clarence’s heart began racing.
Hadn’t he met Jackson Hayes and his wife yesterday evening?
Naturally making that old man Old Master Hayes?
If Jackson had allowed Clarence to drain all the excess blood from the old man’s brain, he would have easily recovered after a couple of days of rest.
His illness must have worsened after the night’s turmoil.
“Master Howard, think about it! You will have so much power in Mediterranean City if you save Old Master Hayes!” Johnson was extremely excited.
If Clarence managed to save Old Master Hayes, Johnson was bound to benefit from it, since he had been the one to get the two parties in touch.
Johnson might have been a rascal, but he was also good at grabbing any good opportunity that came by.
If he was not, how could he have gone from a migrant worker working on construction sites, to Mediterranean City’s most well-known loan shark with a net worth of over ten billion dollars?
The reason Johnson could not find himself a place in Mediterranean City’s upper-class society was because he came from a humble background, which meant he did not qualify to mix with them.
However, things would be different once he got a hold of the Hayes family.
Career success was now so close to his grasp.
“Johnson Golding, is it you or me who will have that power?” Clarence asked exasperatedly.
Johnson coughed awkwardly, “Cough cough! Master Howard, let’s not get bogged down by the formalities.
“I’ve already contacted someone to take care of the contract for my company. The shares will be under your name once you sign it.”
Clarence pouted his lips impatiently. “Alright, enough with the nonsense. Come pick me up.”
Clarence agreed because he knew saving someone’s life would earn him more good karma.
“Alrighty.”
Clarence immediately hung up the phone.
Within thirty seconds, the doorbell of Clarence’s villa rang.
“Master Howard, I’m here.”
Clarence opened the villa’s door with a wry smile on his face. “I just knew you would be outside. Let’s go.”
“Alright.”
Johnson hurriedly led Clarence into his flashy Rolls Royce. The driver stepped on the gas and sped toward the hospital.
When Clarence, Johnson, and everyone else arrived at the hospital, the entirety of the VIP Intensive Care Unit had been sealed off.
Besides relevant personnel, no one else was allowed to enter the floor.
Moreover, every doctor and nurse who entered the floor had to pass through several thorough checks.
Clarence and Johnson were interrogated after entering the hospital.
That was all enough to prove just how powerful the Hayes family was.
“What’s the big fuss about?” Clarence was somewhat surprised.
Those who were not in the know might even think that some well-known person had come to conduct an inspection of the hospital.
Johnson lowered his voice. “Hush! Be careful with your words, Master Howard. Of course the Hayes family wants Old Master Hayes to stay alive.
“There are some people who cannot wait for the old master to die, though!”
