I'm Someone Else

Chapter 294

Hearing that, Leah pursed her lips in disdain. “Quincy, aren’t you scared of your words biting you inyour back? Do you have the nerve to make a comeback? I think you’re getting senile. It seems like Ihave to remind you that other than your eldest son, the rest of your family is still in Capitalis! What willhappen to them if you make a comeback? Do you really not care about their lives? Let me take Oliviawith me, and also, give me Pearson Group! If not, you can just wait and watch while Olivia perishes!”

“You old… Pfft!”

Before he could finish, Quincy coughed up a mouthful of blood.novelbin

Clank!

Then, he felt his body give out, and he limply collapsed onto a chair.

“Dr. Hofstead!” Thomas cried out frantically, scrambling to hold on to him. He placed a hand onQuincy’s wrist to check his heartbeat.

The only reason why Quincy was showing these symptoms all of a sudden was completely due to hisuncontrollable anger.

With a few swift taps, Thomas hurriedly pressed on a few acupoints on Quincy’s body while rubbing hischest with his other hand in an attempt to calm him down.

“Haha! Coughing blood from anger? Not bad! As expected of the former top doctor of Droycore!”Leah’s grandson sneered mockingly. Was this the caliber of the so-called top doctor of Droycore? Tsk,it really was difficult to live up to his reputation!

He had learned about Quincy’s past from his family, and knew that he had fled back to Irieson afterprovoking someone he shouldn’t have, bringing only his eldest son with him. In other words, he wasjust a miserable wretch! What right did he have to be so arrogant? He even dared to get in his

grandmother’s way in the past. Who did he think he was? It served him right to be coughing up bloodnow!

Next to him, Leah let out a cold scoff. If Quincy knew what was good for him, she would let this mattergo. However, if he refused to give in, she wouldn’t mind provoking him further. In fact, she wouldn’tmind if he dropped dead right then and there!

“Quincy, don’t blame me for not reminding you this. You shouldn’t force yourself. How did that sayinggo again? Oh, right, showing off only feels good for a second, but it will lead to your downfall! Tell meyour decision in two days. I believe that you’re a smart man who will make the right decision!”

Upon saying that, she left the room with her grandson.

Back then, after offending the hidden forces, although Quincy managed to escape back to Irieson withone of his sons, his other family members were held hostage in Capitalis and kept under constantsurveillance. This fact had always been a thorn in his heart that he couldn’t get rid of, so it was naturalthat he wasn’t able to bear the humiliation of Leah openly speaking of the matter and even using it tothreaten him. Hearing that, Leah pursed her lips in disdain. “Quincy, aren’t you scared of your wordsbiting you in your back? Do you have the nerve to make a comeback? I think you’re getting senile. Itseems like I have to remind you that other than your eldest son, the rest of your family is still inCapitalis! What will happen to them if you make a comeback? Do you really not care about their lives?Let me take Olivia with me, and also, give me Pearson Group! If not, you can just wait and watch whileOlivia perishes!”

A while later, Quincy felt much better than before, and he no longer felt stifled. He knew that this was allthanks to Thomas; if he hadn’t treated him in time and protected his heart, he would’ve been in muchmore pain.

“Thank you!”

Thomas shook his head. “No words of thanks need to be said between you and me. What did Leahmean by a comeback earlier?”

Hearing that, Quincy narrowed his eyes and frowned, a morose expression taking over his face. Forhim, that was a memory he was reluctant to mention or even touch upon. However, since Thomas hadasked, he could only tell him the truth.

After listening to Quincy’s explanation, Thomas nearly flew into a rage. The hidden forces were trulyoverbearing; how could they resort to hunting someone down and even holding their family membershostage just because they refused to provide them with medical treatment? Their actions were utterlyoutrageous!

Now, it made sense why Quincy chose to live in a rural area like Irieson when he could’ve spent acomfortable and easy life in Capitalis with his knowledge and status. After all this time, Thomas finallyknew that it wasn’t because Quincy was unwilling to remain in Capitalis, but he had actually escapedfrom that place.

“Dr. Hofstead, if that’s the case, why are you so insistent on making a comeback this time?”

“Thomas, while I’m someone who values friendship, I’m also a stubborn man. Throughout my life, Ihaven’t had any hobbies other than medicine, and I’ve always dreamed of taking my skills to a higherlevel. It was because you gave me ‘The Imperial Acupuncture’ that I managed to make a breakthrough,and I won’t allow your kindness to go to waste!”

Thomas shook his head with a bitter smile. “Dr. Hofstead, that wasn’t any act of kindness at all. Asfriends, we were always meant to treat each other with utmost sincerity. Since you treated me kindly, I’dnaturally return the favor. That book was nothing more than a present from one friend to another. Inother words, it was my way of expressing my gratitude to you, not an act of kindness at all!”

Rising to his feet, he patted Quincy on the shoulder. “I’ll take care of Olivia’s issue. You don’t have tomake a comeback.”

“Thomas, I…”

Thomas waved a hand, interrupting his words. “I’ve accepted your goodwill, but it’s just like Leah said;it’s unnecessary. If I successfully make it through this time, I’ll treat you to a drink. By then, we canenjoy ourselves!”

Upon seeing Thomas’ determination, Quincy could only give up, albeit with a sullen heart. It seemedthat he couldn’t provide any help at all.

After dropping Quincy off at the hospital, Thomas headed back to Keyshire Property alone by car.

On the way there, he mumbled to himself, “Now that I have no choice, I can only risk that method!”

He would never allow Olivia to be sent to her death, much less let her marry a stranger she didn’t know.As long as he was still breathing, he would not permit anything like that to occur.

Screech!

The tires of the Maserati screeched against the ground, emitting a sharp sound, and in an instant,Thomas forcefully turned the steering wheel and went in the opposite direction.

There was one final way that he could improve his abilities in a short amount of time, and that was totone up his body. However, the risks that came with this method were significant. This technique hadbeen passed down to him by the eccentric old man who had raised him before he joined the military,and he had cautioned him against using this method unless it was a last resort.

At this point, Thomas could only take a gamble; he no longer had the liberty to worry about the dangersof it. Now, he had to head to the pharmacy in order to acquire the ingredients he needed to tone up hisbody.

Not long after he began driving, he received a call from Olivia.

“Hello? Thomas, when are you coming back?”

When he left, Thomas had said that he would only take a while, but Olivia began to grow worried as itwas already afternoon and he was still nowhere to be found.

“I still have some things to take care of. I might take a little longer,” Thomas hurriedly replied beforehanging up. He was pressed for time and had to prepare the needed ingredients as soon as possible,but even if things went smoothly, he would most likely work into the night.

He specifically targeted a large pharmacy to look for his ingredients, but as the quantity he needed wasexceptionally high, he had only managed to gather enough supply for three days even after visitingthree different stores. The process of toning up his body was a relatively lengthy one, spanning fiveentire days, and it was evident that these ingredients were far from enough.

With no other choice, he could only continue to look for other pharmacies. As for the Elliott Family’sstore, he would save it for last for fear that they would not accept his money after he took their supplies.
