“Yes. You were poisoned, so I simply used the silver needles on your acupuncture points to eliminate some toxins in your body. That’s why you feel better now.”

Clarence nodded and continued, “I didn’t say it just now because I feared the poisoning might be related to something shady. I didn’t want everyone in the hall to know about it.”

?

Zander’s face twisted up upon hearing Clarence’s answer.

“Master Howard, do you have any idea how the poison could’ve entered my body?” Zander finally spoke after a few seconds of silence.

Clarence thought about it. “Although deliberate poisoning by an enemy is a possibility, one of two things could’ve happened instead.

“First, your diet might be toxic. If so, then you’ve accumulated the toxin in your body over the years.

“Second, you could be living in a toxic environment, where the air you breathe in daily isn’t clean.

“However, it might not have been an accident at all, but someone secretly poisoning you!”

Zander had a pained look on his face.

He had hired helpers that attended to his daily needs. He was close to all of them and trusted them all deeply.

How could someone have poisoned him? Who would be so bold as to happily disregard the possible consequences?

“I’ll write you a prescription. Just follow it for half a month and you’ll be fine.

“It would also be good if you changed up where you stayed and where you ate, as soon as possible.” Clarence casually handed the prescription to Zander.

“Whew—!”

Zander took in a deep breath, accepted the prescription from Clarence’s hand, and bowed to him. “Master Howard, you’ve saved my life! I’ll be forever in your debt.

“If you ever need anything in the future, just come find me at the capital!”

Clarence did not want Zander’s help. It was enough that Zander was no longer trying to sue him.

Watching Zander leave in a hurry, Clarence looked at Johnson. “It’s done, and everything’s okay now. Go home.”

“Master Howard, you’re rich now!” Johnson’s teeth chattered with excitement.

“What do you mean?” Clarence looked at him in confusion.

Johnson’s face was tomato-red as he jumped in excitement. “Master Howard, do you not know who Zander is?

“He’s the old man of the Goldman family, one of the ten biggest families in the capital!

“With his help, you can walk away scot-free from anything, even if you commit the most heinous crime in this entire country’s history!”

Clarence rubbed his nose, contemplating what Johnson had said.

“Let’s go. My car?”

“Yes, after you. Actually, how about I drive for you?”

Johnson looked at Clarence’s Ferrari and smiled his most flattering smile.

Clarence shook his head. “No need.”

The Ferrari was still new, and he enjoyed driving it around.

Johnson sat apprehensively on the passenger side, showering Clarence with high praise until he was blushing.

After dropping Johnson off at his company building, Clarence turned the car around to head back to the hospital.

His mother-in-law was still in the hospital. Her operation should’ve gone smoothly. The Murphy family would be staring and spitting daggers at him if he turned up late.

When Clarence arrived at the hospital, the Murphy family was still waiting outside the operating room. The operation had not yet finished.

“How is Mom?” Clarence had a bad feeling about the tense atmosphere.

“This is all your fault! You and your filthy mouth, saying something about mom having a blood clot. Are you happy now? Her operation’s lasted for almost two hours!” Belle glared at Clarence.

Melody was equally angry. “What are you still doing here? You’ve given us enough trouble!”

Miranda knew she had misunderstood Clarence earlier, so she had a somewhat apologetic tone. “Mom’s chances are really bad now, the doctor said the operation is pretty risky and there’s only a fifty percent chance of success.”

“What?” Clarence’s brow furrowed.

His gaze affixed onto the operating room’s door. Clarence focused and used his x-ray vision, seeing Greyson White concentrating intensely on Peony’s operation.

Peony’s breath was very weak. The situation was dire.

Clarence was a little worried and also a little annoyed. If not for Greyson White causing trouble earlier, Peony’s surgery wouldn’t have been delayed for so long and her chances would be much better.

This was not looking good.

“Get out of our way! Get out of the way! Oooh!”

Suddenly, a woman’s wailing pierced through the air.

A large group of medical personnel was rushing a wounded man on a stretcher toward the emergency room nearby.

Clarence was surprised to see that the crowd of personnel was being closely followed by Helena Carter, Jeremy Hayes, and Ginny Hayes.

What were these three doing here?

Was the man on the stretcher Jackson or Joshua Hayes?

“Jeremy, what’s going on?” Clarence asked in surprise.

Although Jackson and his wife were bad people, that was not relevant. Jeremy’s parents were nothing like him.

Jeremy, his eyes tinged red, heard Clarence and cried out, “Brother Howard! What are you doing here?”

By Jeremy’s side, Helena and Ginny were both sobbing their eyes out.

“What’s going on?” Clarence asked.

“Brother Howard, after you left my house, my parents drove out. Not even more than 5 minutes later, they got into an accident involving 10 other cars. My father, he’s…” Jeremy’s face went pale.

At that time, Jackson had been driving, while Helena was sitting on the passenger’s side.

Trying to protect his wife, Jackson had spun their car around to collide with another car on the driver’s side.

Helena did escape only slightly bruised, but Jackson was now seriously injured and dying!

“Brother Howard, please save my father. You’re a miracle doctor, I know you can do it!” Jeremy knelt on the ground and begged.

Belle sneered, “Clarence is our family’s loser son-in-law. He’s no doctor! He can’t save your father!”

“You shut up!” Jeremy roared as he slapped Belle fiercely. “If I hear one more word of nonsense from you, I’ll have you killed!”
