Mona no longer trembled. The ghastly, ashen-blue hue that had taken over her face, and the dark, purplish tinge of her lips, gradually gave way to a healthy, natural complexion.
Her labored breaths settled, becoming slow and steady as if a chaotic storm within her body had finally calmed.
In just a few fleeting moments, Mona’s transformation was so astonishing that it left everyone in the room stunned. Their minds struggled to keep up with what their eyes were witnessing.
It was then that Kayden finally broke the silence. “It’s done,” he said casually. “The cancer cells in her body have been completely destroyed.”
His tone was light but his words landed like a bomb. For a moment, the room fell deathly silent. The doctors stood frozen in disbelief and astonishment as if someone had just flipped their understanding of medicine upside down.
“Mom, how are you feeling now?” Felicity bent down and asked.
Mona shifted slightly in bed. She swallowed hard and said, “I feel… so much better! It was like… something entered my body, something warm and powerful. It chased out all the terrible things inside me.”
“Such a strange feeling!”
Her words rippled through the room like a wave. Everyone was momentarily paralyzed, disbelief etched into their faces.
Everyone, except Amelia. Her expression darkened as anger boiled over. “This is absurd!” she burst out. “It’s just the final burst of energy before death. This is a phenomenon well-documented in terminal patients. Cancer doesn’t just disappear! There’s no drug on earth capable of such a thing!”
Amelia’s father had been tortured by cancer. Despite their relentless efforts to find a cure, there was no miracle. She’d traveled the world with him, visited the most renowned specialists, and witnessed the sheer futility of fighting the disease.
To suggest it could be cured so easily? It was an insult to everything she had endured! She would never believe it!
Kayden showed no interest in arguing. He ignored Amelia completely and turned to Dr. Adler, who still wore an expression of sheer disbelief. “Dr. Adler, please arrange for a full examination to confirm the results. Afterward, prepare her discharge paperwork.”
Dr. Adler blinked, startled out of his stupor. “Ah, yes! Of course, right away!”
Not just him, the other doctors all hurried into action. They couldn’t wait to verify Mona’s condition. The thought of witnessing such a groundbreaking medical phenomenon electrified them, and they moved swiftly to carry out the examination.
No one paid the slightest attention to Amelia who stood awkwardly off to the side.
Feeling utterly frustrated, Amelia turned to her brother and asked, “Colin, do you believe this? Do you really think he can cure cancer?”
Colin only squinted slightly. It’s hard to read his mind. He didn’t nod, and neither did he shake his head. He simply remained silent.
The reason why Kayden told the hospital to conduct an examination was not to flaunt his abilities. His true intention was simple: to put Felicity and her mother at ease.
He knew full well how hard it was for them to accept the impossible that cancer could simply be cured. They trusted the authority of a hospital far more than the word of a single individual. If running tests could reassure them, Kayden was more than willing to let science play its part.
Soon, the medical team sprang into action. Blood samples were drawn, and a slew of lab tests were carried out.
And then, two hours later, the entire ward was in uproar.
Dr. Adler ran in from outside, clutching the test results like a treasure. His face was alight with unrestrained excitement. A cadre of doctors followed behind him, and all their gazes were fixed on Kayden. They all wore expressions that brimmed with awe, reverence, and admiration.
Joy lit up their faces as if they had just unearthed a medical breakthrough or struck a life-changing fortune.
Bursting through the door, Dr. Adler wasted no time to voice his astonishment. “My goodness! This… This is a miracle! An absolute miracle in the world of medicine! Grand Master, the cancer cells in the patient’s body… they’re gone. Completely gone! Not only that, but her body is showing signs of full recovery. Her functions are normalizing across the board!”
“This is beyond extraordinary. In all my decades as a doctor, I’ve never seen anything like this. Your medicine is no less than an elixir!”
Felicity couldn’t believe her ears. She lifted a trembling hand to her face, brushing her fingers lightly across her cheek. The sensation was real. This was no dream. It was real! Her face, so often marred with worry and desperation, was now transformed by radiant joy. A disbelieving laugh bubbled up, mixing with tears in her eyes. “Dr. Adler… is this true? Are you sure? Is my mother really cured? Is her cancer… really gone?”
It was too unbelievable that just one small pill could completely eradicate cancer!
Dr. Adler gave a firm nod. “Yes, Miss Mallory. I’m absolutely sure. Your mother’s cancer cells are completely gone. She’s healed.”
Hearing the answer, Felicity couldn’t hold back her emotions. Tears streamed down her face as she threw herself into her mother’s arms, sobbing with overwhelming joy. “Oh my god, it’s real! It’s really real! Mom, did you hear that? You’re cured! You’re really cured!”
The feeling of recovering a loved one from the brink of loss was far more exhilarating, far more precious, than winning a million-dollar jackpot.
Felicity was overjoyed!
And her mother? Equally so.
The two held each other tightly, crying tears of pure, unrestrained joy.
But showed no interest in this touching reunion. For him, what mattered was the groundbreaking miracle. His excitement bubbled over as he turned to Kayden. “Grand Master, your genius is beyond comprehension! I thought your expertise was purely theoretical, but to witness you curing cancer with my own eyes… This-this is a miracle for the ages!”
“This… this is a breakthrough in medical history! If this gets out, your name will rock the global medical community. You’ll stand as a towering figure, an absolute legend on par with Newton, Einstein, and Beethoven. You’d surpass the title of a genius!”
Dr. Adler spoke with such fervor that he looked ready to burst into tears of reverence.
“Sir, your talent is extraordinary. I owe you an apology for my earlier ignorance!”
One of the other doctors rushed forward, bowing deeply to Kayden. His expression was a mix of awe and exhilaration.
“Sir, I bow before your greatness!”
“Sir, may I have the honor of taking a photo with you?”
The once-proud doctors had completely lost their composure. One by one, they clamored with requests which all sounded boring to Kayden.
They all understood one thing, that once the world learned that Kayden had cured a terminal cancer patient with just one treatment, it would set off an explosion of unprecedented magnitude in the medical field. His name would thunder through the halls of history.
From start to finish, Kayden’s expression remained as cold and unyielding as stone. He cast a frosty glance at Dr. Adler and said in a calm, detached tone, “I’m not interested in any of this. The patient is healed, isn’t she? In that case, can we be discharged now?”
Dr. Adler’s face, which had just been glowing with excitement, crumpled as though someone had snuffed out its light. After all that he’d said, all the effort he’d put into conveying the magnitude of this moment, why did this man still remain unmoved?
It was the kind of honor most could only dream of achieving in a lifetime! And yet, Kayden treated it as if it were nothing more than an insignificant footnote!
Dr. Adler swallowed hard. “Grand Master, what you’ve done deserves to be celebrated! Why leave the hospital? If we publicize your work, you’ll gain endless fame and fortune. Your achievements will echo through history. Don’t you want to shake the world? To take home a Nobel Prize in Medicine?”
Staring at Dr. Adler, Kayden said word by word, “I told you I’m not interested in anything you’ve mentioned. I don’t need money. I don’t need fame. And I certainly don’t need your so-called status. What happened today-” he paused, his tone hardening like iron. “I expect all of you to act as if it never happened.”
“That’s enough. I don’t have time to waste. Can we leave now, or not?”
