Chapter 1116 He Stood Up, a Medical Miracle
Anthony was pushed into Serene Time Hotel in the wheelchair, accompanied by Kane and a group of
bodyguards. They found the corresponding hotel room without encountering any suspicious individuals
or guards at the door. The silence was strange and eerie, but Anthony didn't hesitate to give Kane a
nod for Mavis's safety.
Kane understood immediately and used his universal key card to break into the room. The room was
dim, and the light from the corridor penetrated through, and figures could be vaguely seen on the pure
white bed.
There were messy clothes all over the floor. Kane was stunned, "Mr. Callahan, what is this?"
Anthony's expression also became solemn.
Behind him, a group of bodyguards couldn't help but be curious and sneaked a peek inside the room,
but they were afraid of violating rules and getting fined, so they kept their heads down.
However, the situation inside the room was evident without words.
Anthony's face darkened as he commanded, "Close the door, everyone out, guard the corridor."
Even Kane couldn't stay, and Anthony pushed the wheelchair into the room, closing the door behind
him.
The light switch was on the wall.
With a crisp sound, the entire room was instantly illuminated.
There were two figures on the bed, covered with a white sheet.
Anthony's eyes narrowed with complicated emotions, his fingertips trembling slightly as he slowly
reached towards the sheet.
Despite not wanting to see what was in front of him, he had no choice but to look.
His whole body exuded a gloomy aura as he lifted the sheet.
"Ah--"
A woman's terrified scream pierced the air.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy? Haven't you seen an affectionate couple before?"
A man, with some courage, immediately shielded the woman beside him and glared angrily at Anthony.
A man and a woman, two completely unfamiliar faces.
Though scolded, Anthony's expression relaxed a bit, as if he knew something pleasant.
This woman was not Mavis.
At the same time, there was a knocking on the door from outside.
Kane said, "Mr. Callahan, you got the wrong room. Mrs. Callahan is not in this room."
The man lying next to her then realized, "F*ck! So you wanted to catch your wife cheating huh? No
wonder why... look at your lame leg... you probably can't even do it."
Anthony frowned. Although he felt apologetic for barging into someone else's private space earlier, now
this guy's insults really annoyed him.
He slowly took out his wallet containing 10, 000 dollars bills then looked towards that woman saying,
"I'll give you 1000 per slap if you smack him hard enough until I'm satisfied."
"Really?" The woman was moved.
The sound of slaps echoed one after another, faintly heard from the room.
Kane outside the door was confused, and wanted to lean against the door to listen more carefully.
Suddenly, the door opened.
The sound of slaps became louder and clearer, mixed with a man's groans. Anthony had no expression
on his face as he pushed his wheelchair out of the room.
"Where is Mrs. Callahan?"
"Next door."
Anthony glared at Kane and said, "If you make such a low-level mistake again, you'll be fired."
Kane replied nervously, "I understand." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
The hotel room next door opened its door with lights on inside.
Mavis sat at the end of the bed with little expression on her face as she looked towards their direction.
Raymond and Moore stood by her side on either side.
This situation didn't seem like a kidnapping but rather like an orchestrated confrontation.
Anthony chuckled softly and said, "So it wasn't a kidnapping after all."
Did these three people team up to deceive him?
He gave Kane an icy glance. Kane trembled as he repeatedly shook his head saying, "Mr. Callahan,
I'm not involved in this. I only found out just now like you did."
Initially they thought Sheldon had something to do with it. All their investigation plans were focused on
Sheldon's whereabouts. Mavis being trapped in the hotel was leaked by someone else.
He only verified if what happened was true but hadn't yet had a chance to find out who leaked that
information.
Raymond asked, "If we don't do this, then how will you ever let your precious feet touch ground again
for even just few steps?"
Moore also added, "Coming to save Mavis, you still have to pretend to sit in a wheelchair. Your
scheming is really too deep, not sincere at all."
Mavis didn't say anything, but took out her phone and showed him a video recording. It showed him
getting up from Green Grove Apartment downstairs walking normally before getting into his car.
"A car accident resulting in broken bones, and pretending for half month that I am your servant. You
have nothing else left unsaid, right?"
Anthony stared at that video without saying anything. Kane watched beside them grinning while trying
explain, "Mrs. Callahan, you don't know. Mr. Callahan saw danger around you so he got worried. He
couldn't care less about his leg pain, wishing he could grow wings right away, to fly over there, and
ensure your safety."
Mavis laughed lightly, "It seems that I am indeed medicine, a medical miracle for you."
"You are certainly Mr. Callahan's medicine. He..."
Kane stopped talking abruptly.
On the video, Anthony walked steadily with his bandaged leg, which shouldn't have been normal even
with medical miracles.
Kane didn't have anything better to say and could only get close to Anthony and whisper, "Mr.
Callahan, I can't make sense of this. What are we going to do?"
Anthony's face remained calm as he replied, "I can see the situation clearly without your reminder."
Kane obediently shut up and stood aside.
"It's a shame you two aren't good actors," Raymond sneered as he took out a document and threw it at
Anthony. "Anthony, this is a gift for you. Take a look at it and see if you like it."
The sealed envelope was opened to reveal a court summons.
"The court has accepted my sister's divorce lawsuit. The trial will be held in three days. Whether you
want to or not, she'll be leaving you behind for sure due to marital misconduct on your part.
Congratulations," Raymond said.
Anthony pinched the edge of the paper tightly between his fingertips until they turned white but
remained silent with an icy expression on his face.
Mavis stopped playing the video on her phone and said to Raymond and Moore. "Since we've
delivered our message already, let's go."
The two men were tall figures standing beside her like loyal knights guarding their princesses' safety.
However, when Mavis passed by Anthony's side, she felt him grab her wrist tightly. She couldn't read
what emotions were hidden in his eyes as he stared at her intently before asking, "Don't you have
anything else that needs saying?"
"Yes, Mr. Callahan, see you in court in three days," she said firmly, pulling her hand away from him and
walking away decisively.
Raymond made a face at Anthony and hurried to catch up with Mavis.
Anthony tossed the document aside with a disgusted expression, clearly annoyed.
Kane knew what was bothering him and tried to persuade, "Mr. Callahan, I actually understand Mrs.
Callahan. You should also try to understand her more. You clearly don't want a divorce, but you're
unwilling to say it outright due to pride. You've used all sorts of extreme methods to try and keep her,
but those methods are too extreme for her to accept. In her eyes, they only make you appear
despicable. If you truly don't want to give up this marriage, you should try a different approach – one
that is direct and sincere."
Anthony sneered coldly, "What? Do I need to kneel down begging?"
Kane fell silent immediately upon hearing that response from him.
With an expression full of gloominess written all over his face now, Anthony spoke emotionlessly,
"Forget it... I've already tried my best. If she wants out, then so be it."
Kane muttered, "You said the same thing last time and the time before that."
