"Your mother's condition is really critical. If you don't pay 80,000 dollars for the operation, we won't be able to save her."
"You haven't paid back the money you borrowed last time, and you want more money? Dude, shame on you."
"Yo, it's none of our business if your mother dies or not. We won't lend you money anymore, coz you cannot pay back, huh?"
Kingston had been standing at the gates of the Healthbridge Hospital in Yrery, feeling desperate.
His mother adopted him and treated him very well. Now her condition was critical, but he couldn't afford the 80,000 dollars required for her operation.
As he stood staring blankly at the red Maserati across the road, he had a fleeting thought: "I can't possibly stage a crash to make false insurance claims so I could pay for the medical expenses, can I?"
But before he could contemplate this reckless idea further, a man suddenly pushed him from behind, causing Kingston to stagger into the middle of the road.
At that moment, the red Maserati sped up and hurtled towards Kingston at an alarming speed. The driver, a woman, desperately shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The woman driving the Maserati poked her head out and shouted desperately.
But it was already too late!
In the flash of light, Kingston was tossed across the air upon impact.
The car struck Kingston, and he was flung into the air before hitting the ground with a sickening thud. As he lay there unconscious, he didn't notice that the blood flowing out of Kingston's neck was being absorbed by a mysterious pendant on his chest.
This mysterious pendant was the only token to prove his identity.
When he was still in a coma, he felt warm and comfortable in his chest.
Then, he heard an old man's voice in his head.
"I am the head of the Immortal Medicine League, Seth Delacruz. As my grandson, Kingston Delacruz shall receive the inheritance of the Immortal Medicine League!"
"As the heir to my inheritance, you must abide by the duty of our Immortal Medical League. Your mission is to help and benefit the common people."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, countless memories flooded into Kingston's mind.
There were all kinds of magic, such as ancient healing skills, martial arts, enchanting wizardry, and secret methods of energy cultivation.
As all these knowledge merged with Kingston's original memory, the mysterious pendant on his chest transformed into a stream of light and entered his body, quickly healing his wounds and injuries.
Kingston felt extremely comfortable, as if he were bathing in a hot spring.
After a while, Kingston opened his eyes to find himself in a hospital ward.
"Are you alright?"
"Sorry, I just got my driver's license yesterday. I mistook the accelerator as the brake!"
Standing by his bed, the crisp and cheerful voice of a girl rang out.
Then Kingston saw a beautiful face smiling at him.
The beautiful girl had delicate features and long hair. Her figure was very graceful and perfect that he almost forgot how to breathe.
Kingston thought he was still in a dream.
He touched his neck subconsciously and saw only the red thread, but there was no pendant.
Everything told him it was not a dream. He really inherited the knowledge of the Immortal Medicine League.
And this extremely beautiful woman in front of him was the one who had run him over yesterday.
He looked at Alivia Mullins's big doe-like eyes as she looked at him with concern.
Kingston forced an awkward smile as he shook his head, and said, "I'm fine."
He had wanted to fake an accident, so he couldn't possibly blame her for actually crashing into him.
Moreover, if she hadn't hit him, he wouldn't have become heir to the Immortal Medicine League's inheritance.
"You're alright? That's good to hear. I already paid for your hospital bills. Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for this."
Hearing this, Kingston quickly shook his head and said, "I'm fine. You don't need to pay for me. I wanna leave now."
"You can't leave the hospital now! When I hit you yesterday, I almost had a heart attack."
As she said this, she looked at Kingston carefully. "But you got hurt pretty badly. How could the doctor say you're okay?"
Kingston didn't know how to explain that he inherited the healing power of the Immortal Medicine League purely by accident, so he changed the subject. "How long was I out?"
"Just one night! Take care of yourself. There's no need to rush to leave."
"One night?"
Kingston's expression changed.
His mother was still in the hospital. He couldn't stay here any longer.
He hurriedly put on his shoes. Kingston then grabbed Alivia's hand and asked anxiously, "Which hospital are we at?"
Alivia didn't know why he asked this, but she still answered truthfully, "We're at the Healthbridge Hospital!"
Kingston finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his mother was also in this hospital.
After letting go of Alivia's hand, Kingston ran outside in a hurry.
Alivia shouted in surprise, "Hey, where are you going?"
"I'm going to save my mom."
As he said that, Kingston trotted out of the hospital. He bought some medical supplies from a nearby pharmacy and hurried to his mother's ward on the fifth floor.
In the ICU ward of Yrery Hospital, Bailey Hunt, the chief physician, was checking Michelle Fischer's pupils with a flashlight.
"The patient won't make it. Please inform her family!"
Hearing that, the nurse grabbed a white sheet to cover the patient.
Bailey glanced at the patient lying on the bed. There was no trace of regret or guilt in his eyes.
"If only her family could pay 80,000 dollars for the operation, she might have the chance to live. Unfortunately, her son is poor. He doesn't even have such a small sum of money. If they can't afford the operation, death is her only option."
Just as the nurse was about to cover his mother with the white cloth, Kingston quickly entered the ward and shouted angrily, "Stop!"
