The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
Billionaire With Husband 485

Chapter 485

As Felix's words echoed through the room, even Lionel was momentarily stunned despite his vast experiences. He had long since given up hope of a cure, so his surprise was only natural.

Ernest and Isaac, who always believed in Felix, were immediately filled with uncontainable excitement. For men of their caliber and integrity, this wasn't about personal gain or reputation. They were genuinely praying for Lionel's health. Only Nala's gaze remained icy.

"Felix! Do you think this is a joke? So many master healers have tried and failed, yet you think you can? Maybe once upon

current skills, stop joking around!

I would've believed it. However, given your

Felix ignored her and looked directly at Lionel.

"Would you permit me to give it a try, My Lord?

Lionel, who had snapped out of his shock, laughed heartily.

"Why wouldn't I agree? True healers never enter a battle they're not prepared for. While I am not afraid of the outcome, I must ask you how confident you are."

"A hundred percent.

A hundred percent? Lionel's smile faded. If not for Felix's reputation from the orphanage incident, he would have dismissed this as the boast of a reckless young man. How could he claim to be 100% confident when even Silas had been at a loss? "Before I begin the treatment, your emotions must remain steady. So I'd prefer it if only you and I were present," Felix added, turning with a slightly apologetic look toward Ernest and Isaac. "Please don't take offense, Mr. Holt Senior and Mr. Holt. It's necessary for the treatment."

Both men rose immediately, nodding in understanding. For them, the priority was Lionel's

recovery.

"No problem, Felix. Go ahead and do what you must."

"We'll leave right now. No interruptions,"

However, Nala spoke up again. "Grandfather! You're aware that Felix has lost his martial powers, and his medical skills have deteriorated considerably. Yet you still want him to try? It's bound to fail!

"I even suspect he's playing to your personality, knowing you won't hold him responsible for any failure, which is the only reason he dares to boast."

"Grandfather?" Felix thought to himself, surprised that he had guessed correctly about her relationship with Lionel-they really were family, and closely related at that.

Lionel frowned, turning to Nala.

"Nana, I am a man of my word. I've already agreed to let Felix treat me, and I won't change my mind. Besides, a doctor willing to put himself on the line for those kids isn't someone I believe to be insincere. Join Ernest and the others outside." Despite his firm words, Nala stubbornly stood her ground.

"Grandfather, this is the first time I refuse to follow your orders! So, Felix, you get out! Do you think you can build your future off my grandfather? Dream on! You've already used up all my goodwill, and now you're tr gain even more? You disgust me." In any other situation, Felix wouldn't have bothered with a response. However, since she was Lionel's granddaughter, she did have the right to question him. Hence, he got up and approached her, radiating an intense, powerful aura. "Now, is this enough for you?"

Nala froze on the spot, and Lionel's eyes suddenly gleamed.

"Innate Realm?"

Nala had felt it too. Felix was actually in the Innate Realm. There was no doubt about it. Only someone in the Innate Realm could emit such an overwhelming power.
