Keh trembled in disbelief at his mother’s fierce outburst.


    All because he had argued with Charlie, not only did Anthony refuse to assist him, but he also wanted to sever ties with the entire family?


    What kind of spell had Charlie cast on him that made him so entranced and captivated?


    Frustrated and furious, Keh held back his feelings and retorted, “Mom, that old fool ispletely unreliable! He’s a fraud!”


    Barbara shouted back, her voice full of anger, “I don’t care what you decide, but you better bring Anthony to Eastcliff on my 84th birthday to check on me and treat my old ailments. If you don’t, just wait and see what happens!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    People tended to be more selfish as they aged.


    The older they got, the more they feared death, clinging to life for as long as possible. Barbara was indifferent to the quarrel between Keh and Anthony; all she wanted was for Anthony to remain her personal physician.


    With Anthony by her side, she felt she could easily live past ny, but without him, she worried she wouldn’t even survive the year.


    Keh felt crushed by his mother’s harsh usations. He longed to exin his side and voice his grievances, but Barbara was not interested in hearing any excuses. Sheid down her demands and abruptly ended the call.


    Frustrated, Keh released his pent-up anger by smashing furniture and breaking items in the room. Finally, he grabbed his phone, hoping to call Anthony, seeking forgiveness and pleading for him to continue treating his mother.


    Unfortunately, Anthony’s phone was turned off.


    This only deepened Keh’s frustration.


    Yet, he dared not defy his mother’s wishes, so he quickly dressed, left the house, and drove to Anthony’s clinic.


    Upon arriving, he found the clinic’s door firmly closed.


    Keh clenched his jaw in irritation when, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted two figures emerging from a dark alley nearby.


    One of them was limping and looked vaguely familiar.


    Keh swiftly hid around the corner to get a better look. As they approached, he saw it was a man in his fifties apanied by a young man in his twenties.


    The young man was leaning on a crutch with one hand while holding arge green gasoline drum in the other.


    The middle-aged man, slightly balding, was supporting the limping youth with one arm while carrying another green gasoline drum in his other hand.<fn5c75> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find?novel</fn5c75>


    Keh recognized the young man as Jason Grant, the one who had been thrown out of the clinic earlier that day while seeking treatment from Anthony.


    It appeared they were plotting to set Anthony’s clinic aze since he had refused to help!


    Jason Grant was the same individual who had crossed paths with Charlie in the hospital and had been forcefully ejected by Don Albert.


    The incident had left him with broken legs, resulting in his limp. He harbored a deep resentment for Charlie, and after being turned away by Anthony, he intended to find a way to settle the score.


    Afterining to his father, Justin Grant, in frustration, they had purchased two gasoline barrels with the intention of burning down Anthony’s clinic.


    Their n was to ignite the Serene World Clinic as a lesson for Anthony, and then devise a way to exact revenge on Charlie.


    At that moment, Keh overheard Jason asking Justin, “Dad, do you think the old coot lives in the clinic?”


    “How should I know?” Justin replied coldly. “Besides, who cares? If he is inside, he deserves to burn! How dare he treat you this way! Damn it!”


    Jason cursed in frustration, “This is ridiculous! The old coot won’t even help me! Burning him alive is too lenient a lesson for him!”
