Chapter 27 I Am an Exception
Upon hearing Leones‘ words, Darius couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Hero, you are really humorous.”
The situation at hand was as clear as day.
Philip had almost completely cured Orlando’s illness.
This was an undeniable fact.
Leones had said that they would beg for him to go back.
Darius felt that was just nonsense.
In Darius‘ opinion, once Orlando fully recovers later, seeing Leones still standing at the door, he will probably chase him away.
But in Leones‘ mind, he was certain that as long as Philip dared to insert the third needle, Orlando would undoubtedly die.
If Leones were wrong, then he would have wasted five years studying medicine under Patten. “Hero! Even if you don’t leave, please don’t stand outside the ward,” Darius kindly advised, “When the Baker family members come out to see you later, they’ll get angry again.
“How about we go downstairs first…”
Before he could finish his sentence, they suddenly heard intermittent screams, cries, and curses coming from inside the ward.
Gradually, the noise grew louder, and soon the entire ward seemed to explode into chaos. “What’s going on?”
Darius was startled, wondering.
Leones had actually guessed correctly.
Although he was standing outside the ward and couldn’t see what was happening inside, the chaotic shouts didn’t sound like a celebration of Orlando’s recovery. Instead, they sounded more like mourning!
“Bang!”
Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open forcefully.
Gloria had tears on her face, looking remorseful and panicked.
And when she saw Leones, who was standing outside the door, a hint of surprise appeared in her
eyes.
“Leones, please save my grandfather… my grandfather… he’s not doing well again.”
Gloria, with a sob in her voice, grabbed Leones‘ hand and dragged him back into the ward. “Oh no! Is this really happening?”
Darius stood dumbfounded outside the ward, surprised that Leones had actually guessed correctly.
He didn’t expect it hadn’t even been a minute, and the people inside were crying and begging for him to return.
“Hero, you are truly amazing!”
Then, Darius followed them back inside.
By now, the ward was in complete chaos.

Chapter 27 1 Am an Exception
The Baker family members were acting as if they had gone mad, begging Bernard to call the doctors and cursing Philip for being a quack who killed their father.
“How could this happen? How could this happen…”
And Philip, like a guilty elementary school student, stood trembling in a corner, repeatedly muttering, “How could this happen.”
Given his abilities, it was hard to see where he had made a mistake.
Philip couldn’t help but wonder if that boy from earlier had actually been right, and he accidentally triggered the poison.
“No… this can’t be possible!”
Philip shook his head, unable to accept the cruel reality before him.
“Mr. Bloom, please… please save my grandfather.”
Gloria once again pulled Leones back to the bedside.
At this time, Orlando lay on the bed with a pool of bloodstains by his pillow.
Orlando lay still, his body turning black and without any signs of life.
Seeing such a tragic situation, even Bernard, who was at the side, shook his head slightly, indicating that the person was already dead and further rescue efforts would be in vain. It would be better to give the deceased some dignity and stop tormenting his body.
“He was fine just now… laughing and talking. How did it come to this?”
Ethan and Jayden were devastated, almost collapsing in front of the bed.
This sudden shift between joy and sorrow, life and death, was something that no one could bear.
“Why have you come back? To mock our family?!”
Ethan looked up and glared angrily at Leones.
“You cursed us! Everything has happened as you wished. Aren’t you happy?”
Because everything Leones had said had come true, Ethan couldn’t accept this cruel reality once again, and he directed his anger toward Leones when he saw him again.
“Alas…” Leones shook his head helplessly and said, “If my words had such power, wouldn’t I be a deity? I repeatedly warned you earlier, but you didn’t listen. Who can you blame?”
“Young man, we wrongly accused you earlier. We’re truly sorry.” Jayden was still being reasonable and quickly apologized to Leones in an attempt to mend their relationship, seeking his help. “Do you think my father still has a chance?”
Leones let out a bitter laugh and said, “You only remember me now that the person is dead? The condition wasn’t that severe at the beginning, but you wasted the patient’s life by delaying treatment!”
“I told you before, once he was inserted with the third needle, no one could save him!” After hearing this, the Baker family members regretted it and didn’t know what to do. Some, with fiery tempers, even stood up and wanted to fight with Philip.
“Mr. Bloom, aren’t you the disciple of the Sage Killer Physician? Please, think of a way! I know you must have a solution, don’t you?”
In her desperation, Gloria suddenly threw herself to the ground, begging Leones for help.
“Alas…” Leones shook his head helplessly. “What was originally a simple matter has now been

made so complicated by you. But, today is your lucky day, for you have encountered me.”
“Yes, I am the disciple of the Sage Killer Physician! As long as the person hasn’t turned to ashes, there’s still a chance to save them!”
As soon as those words were uttered, the chaotic scene fell silent.
Everyone turned in astonishment, looking at Leones, unsure if he was joking or not.
“Hero, is this for real?” Darius asked in shock, “Just now… didn’t you say that no one could save him?”
“Yes, no one can’t save him,” Leones asserted confidently, “But I never said I couldn’t!
“Because… I am the exception!”
