Chapter 09

　　Running into them in the hospital was totally unexpected. Knowing him, David knew Michael would definitely use this incident to threaten him.

　　But his grandmother’s life is on the line.

　　David squatted on the edge of the flowerbed in the hospital, with a pile of cigarette butts scattered around his feet. He narrowed his eyes, trying to focus on the dim yellow street lamp.

　　However, David didn\'t expect that Michael wouldn\'t trouble him, but Sam found out for himself.

　　As soon as he came out of the old lady\'s doctor\'s office, Sam Wen stopped him.

　　\"David, let\'s talk.\"

　　Sam Wen is handsome and famous. David didn\'t want to talk, but he was afraid that Sam would lead the reporters to the hospital and so he agreed.

　　Sam drove them to a very private coffee shop. He had reserved the entire second floor. He was very rich. As soon as they sat down, Sam Wen went straight to the point, \"I\'ll find the best doctor for your old lady after you leave Mike.\"

　　David smiled, \"How good a doctor are you talking about?\"

　　Sam Wen took a sip of his coffee.\"Don’t you know that my grandfather is Dr. Liu?\"

　　Dr. Liu, an authority in the brain tumor field, has never had an unsuccessful operation. Had the brain tumor been discovered four years earlier than when they found it, Grandmother would have sought out Dr. Liu. Maybe, just maybe, grandma would still be enjoying life.

　　She’d probably be hanging out with her sister, who was still healthy despite being older. He pictured his grandmother going out shopping for clothes, perhaps ballroom dancing, or doing whatever senior-aged women liked to do.

　　David held the cup tightly.\"So?\"

　　\"Leave him. I\'ll ask my grandfather to operate on your old lady. I can also help you with your career.\"

　　\"Oh, I\'m worth a lot of money.\" Looking at Sam Wen\'s similar face, David raised his eyelids, \"What’s the catch?\"

　　Sam Wen smiled back, with the cunning of a young man, but a trace of gloom in his eyes.\"People think you left the country to study. I just want you to stay abroad forever.\"

　　\"And find someone abroad to kill me?\" Ignoring the no-smoking sign in the coffee shop, David lit a cigarette and blew smoke all over Sam Wen\'s face.

　　\"We all know that girls hate it when they’re wearing the same dress, and the same applies to men. It must be more annoying to have the same face. It doesn’t matter whose face was the original, but in this circle, I understand why you don\'t like me.\"

　　After a pause, David said, \"I don\'t want to compete with you over Michael. I don’t even care if you outdo me in every aspect. I want nothing to do with you.\" David got up and tried to leave.

　　Sam Wen stopped him, \"Don\'t you care about your grandmother? With my family connections, no hospital will take her in!\"

　　\"I don’t even have to do that. Simply telling the old lady about what your parents did, it can cause a heart attack.\"

　　\"Why you little piece of shit!\" David turns around, grabs Sam Wen\'s collar and presses him on the coffee table.

　　Sam Wen said with a smile, \"Come on, show me what you got.\"

　　\"Sam, I\'ve got nothing to lose. If you dare touch her, I\'ll come after you. We can die together!\"
