Samson froze for a moment. 

Earlier that day, when he went to receive those hundred girls, he had already seen Eric. 

He was a young man with an impressive future. 

But strangely enough, Samson couldn’t read Eric’s life trajectory at all. 

In Samson’s understanding, Eric should’ve died three years ago. 

The fact that he was still alive now was baffling. 

“Are you Eric’s sister?” he asked. 

Sandy nodded. 

Compared to before, Eric was now extremely well known. 

He had led Nolan Group into the spotlight and turned it into a major force. 

Across different industries, companies were lining up to work with Nolan Group. 

Investors were flooding in. 

On top of that, the forward–looking decisions behind the hill town project had once again turned Eric into a business legend. 

None of this should’ve happened. 

And yet… 

“Can you tell me about your 

Samson asked. 

He took a look at Sandy’s physiognomy. 

It was strange. Her personal indicators also seemed to have been deliberately concealed using special methods. 

Still, he didn’t think too much of it. 

In many powerful families, people arranged protections like that from birth. 

It was meant to protect both the child and the family. 

In simple terms, it worked like a shield. 

If someone harbored malicious intent toward the child, that shield could block a major disaster once. 

That was why so many people sought it out. 

“Sorry, was that too intrusive?” Samson added. 

Sandy smiled gently and answered right away. 

“It’s fine. There’s really nothing about my brother that can’t be shared. What would to know?”

“His marriage prospects,” Samson said bluntly. 

“And while you’re at it, tell me about his partner 

Sandy fell silent. 

She didn’t want to waste time, but if she wanted Samson’s trust, she had to use Eric and Alice as leverage. 

“Alright. Three years ago, my brother was in a serious car accident…” 

When Alice arrived at the hospital, she spotted Andy not far away. 

She originally planned to ask about the patient’s condition, but Andy clearly didn’t have a good impression of them. 

He turned around and left without giving her a chance to speak. 

Alice fell silent for a moment. 

“Mr. Eric, you’ve really offended a lot of people. keep getting dragged into it lately,” she said calmly. 

Eric didn’t respond at all. 

He knew this was a trap. 

If he agreed, it meant he really was unlucky and had dragged Alice down with him. 

If he denied it, he would be lying. 

2/4 

Nolan Group had made enemies everywhere. 

There was really no denying it. 

After calling Jack and getting the room number, Alice walked straight over. 

If it weren’t because she still needed something from Julius later, she really wouldn’t have bothered making this trip. 

Annoying. 

Before she even reached the door, she could hear laughter coming from inside. 

It didn’t sound like a hospital room at all. 

“She’s just a country girl. There’s so much she doesn’t understand. Even the wedding gift Grandma gave 

her had fake pieces in it, and she couldn’t tell. And when Mom handed her the IT department, she just accepted it without thinking. Everyone knows IT is all about technical skill, and the leadership structure there is already solid. No matter how capable Alice is, she’s still just working to benefit others. Honestly, Mr. Silva, talking to you feels really comfortable. You’re such a good person.” 

Alice shoved the door open. 

Sandy’s hand was resting on Samson’s arm. 

Under his arm lay a symbolic compass. 

“How did you get here? Do you two know each other?” Sandy asked in surprise. 

“Ms. Sandy, I assumed that when you were talking behind my back just now, you already knew I had a doctor–patient relationship with this man. Right?” Alice said calmly. 

Sandy fell silent. 

Those words hit harder than a slap. 

This was a hospital. A doctor–patient relationship was the most basic and authoritative one 

here. 

No one had the right to casually interfere with 

Samson instinctively wanted to say that he wasnt sick. 

But for some reason, Alice’s earlier mocking words came back to him. 

She was a doctor. 

3/4 

If something happened, he could go to her for help. 

Samson stayed silent. 

This was no longer just about help. 

Just then, a nurse knocked and walked in. 

“Samson, your condition is a bit unusual. We’re switching your attending physician. I’ll update the information card at your bedside now.” 

Samson remained silent. 

Put simply, his life was now in the hands of his enemy. 

That feeling was worse than death. 

Alice studied him with interest for a moment, then quickly lost that interest. 

“Samson, your skills aren’t solid enough. Go back and train properly with your mentor for a few more years. Otherwise, next time, whatever consequences come your way might not be so easy to survive,” she said lightly. 

Samson was shaken to his core. 

After coming down from seclusion this year, he really had done some questionable things. 

At first, he hadn’t connected them to any kind of backlash. 

But after Alice’s reminder, it all clicked instantly 

Sandy shook his arm gently. 

“I know St. Anne Hospital isn’t unreasonable. If you want to change doctors, you can file a request directly.”
