I’m Someone Else

At that moment, Chloe’s breaths were so frail and shallow that they were barely audible above a whisper.
“Quick! Bring her to the emergency operating theater now!” Quincy made a snap decision and called for a nurse to rush Chloe to
the room.
“Doctor, how is my daughter?” In Adam’s eyes, Quincy was now his daughter’s last hope, and he asked in a frenzy of panic.
In response, Quincy shook his head. “It doesn’t look good. Please wait outside.” Following that, he dashed into the operating
theater, completely disregarding Adam.
Meanwhile, chaos reigned in the operating room as Chloe was hooked up to various machines and equipment. Then, he frowned
as he read the multiple indicators on the monitor screen. “She’s in the last stages of cancer! Darn, this girl! It is impossible that
she does not know about it. Why didn’t she say anything? She could have gone for treatment and possibly lived longer!” As he
observed her decreasing heart rate on the monitor, he knew she was dying.
“Aah...”
Poor girl. Her father is about to be discharged from the hospital, but she is on her deathbed. No! I must keep her alive! Perhaps,
Thomas can figure out a way to save her. At that thought, Quincy pulled out the needle he carried with him all the time.
Swoosh! He swiftly sealed off eight of Chloe’s major acupuncture points. After instructing a nurse to attach her to the oxygen
system, he pulled out his phone and called Thomas.
Meanwhile, the leader of the three men hired by the Xalmars found himself in a predicament. They had watched her collapse
before being wheeled into an operating theater. “What do we do? Quincy has sent Chloe into the operating theater,” he
exclaimed.
Everyone knew Quincy, one of the best doctors in Irieson. No one had the nerve to make an enemy of him without just cause,
not even the Xalmars. If it had been anyone else, the trio would have charged into the operating theater to kill the woman off.
However, they could not do that now because Quincy was in there. If he got mad at them for doing their jobs, the Xalmars would
not be happy with them either.
“Let’s go. We’ll explain everything clearly. I’m sure the butler and Mr. Xalmar would understand our dilemma,” the trio leader
spoke calmly because he knew that Quincy was someone Kirk had to treat with respect. Hence, a nobody like him did not have
to deliberate over what to do. After all, there was no way they could afford to offend Quincy!

In the meantime, Thomas has just left Rose’s home. He had spent thirty minutes there for a few quick bites of the food and then
hurriedly excused himself. His urgency resulted from a sudden, unexplainable panic, as though something crucial was about to
happen. Although not superstitious, he put a lot of stock in his gut, repeatedly saving him from death on the battlefield.
Hence, he was so taken aback by Quincy’s call that he didn’t even notice when he dropped his phone. How is that possible? I
live under the same roof as Chloe; she has been in perfect health the entire time. So, why is she suddenly diagnosed with late-
stage cancer? At that moment, he felt as if his mind had exploded. Without a second’s thought, he hurriedly jumped into his car,
floored the gas pedal, and sped like a lunatic toward the hospital.
While driving, Thomas realized that while he lived with her, he would only come home late at night. Most of the time, he would
get home after she had already gone to bed, and she would have to leave bright and early to bring her father his breakfast in the
hospital. As a result, they hadn’t seen each other in an awfully long time. In addition, he had never suspected that she was ill,
and even if he had noticed something, he would not have paid attention.
Soon, he finally arrived at the hospital and stormed straight into the operating theater, not even bothering to lock his car.
Afterward, Quincy glanced at Thomas and explained slowly, “I have just conducted a few tests on Chloe. The cancer must have
started spreading about a year ago. I’ve looked into her medical history. She passed out in this hospital not too long ago, and the
doctors on duty attended to her at the time. This means that she was aware of her cancer diagnosis back then. However, no
treatment was mentioned in her medical record. I don’t believe any treatment could help her now, as it would only prolong her
suffering. Honestly, I can’t do anything about her condition. Although I am the hospital’s director, you are a much better doctor
than I am.” His last sentence was said from the bottom of his heart. When his son told him how Thomas could seal off two of
Olivia’s acupuncture points with a hairpin, he knew Thomas completely outclassed him. “You can see if there’s anything you can
do. I’ve sealed off the eight major points to keep her alive. Still, she can’t hold on for long. She’ll likely die tonight unless you
have a trick up your sleeve.”
After hearing that, Thomas stared at Chloe’s feeble form on the bed, and his eyes turned red as he realized how close she was
to death.
Before he passed away, Zachary enlisted Thomas’ help in caring for Adam and Chloe. Hence, no matter what Thomas needed
to do, Chloe had to stay alive! If she died right now, he would be unable to look Zachary in the eye when he meets him in the
underworld, and what right would he have to say he was Zachary’s friend?
After that, he glanced at the other people in the room. “Tell them to leave.”

Meanwhile, Quincy’s eyes lit up with delight when he heard that. So, Thomas does have a way to save Chloe; otherwise, why
would he want the room cleared out? Moreover, he has only asked him to get the other medical staff out of the operating theater
except for me. This opportunity is once in a lifetime! It would be fantastic if I could take advantage of this opportunity to observe
and learn from him. “Go on. Leave. Do not distract Mr. Clifford from his patient!” he said.
After hearing that, the other medical staff exchanged glances, curious about who Thomas was. Who is this guy? He storms in
and demands that the doctors and nurses leave the room immediately. We clearly overheard Dr. Hofstead admits that this
unknown young man was a better doctor than him. Is this some kind of joke?
“Hurry up!” Thomas barked coldly as he lost his patience after noticing they were dragging their feet.
Suddenly, the entire operating theater was permeated by a murderous rage that made everyone feel even colder. It made the
medical staff too terrified to linger, so they left the room immediately.
In the meantime, Thomas walked over to the bed and picked up a sterilized scalpel from a nearby tray. There was not even a
flicker of an eyebrow as he stabbed the scalpel into his wrist. Instantaneously, his blood spurted out from the wound.
“What are you doing? You...” Quincy went pale with shock. Is he going to commit suicide? That reaction is way too drastic!
