The Ex Husbands Revenge

When a wife cheats on their husband and gets pregnant with another man's child, one would expect the husband to kick her out of the home and ask for a divorce. Oddly enough, it was the complete opposite for 26-year-old Leon Wolf. As if being treated like a slave by his in-laws was not bad enough, he was thrown out on the street by his wife and her family after she proudly declared to him that she got pregnant with someone else's baby! Distraught and resentful, Leon found himself wandering all the way to the cemetery, where he chanced upon the attempted assassination of a beautiful woman. In his bid to save her, Leon received a fatal stab wound on his chest and dragged the thug with him into a nearby river to drown together… All signs pointed to Leon's death, for he never surfaced again even though the distressed woman had waited for hours. Believing he had passed on to the afterlife, she left, but not before calling out to the river, "My name is Iris Young. Come and see me sometime…" A wisp of consciousness manifested underwater… 'Iris… What a beautiful name…'

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge Chapter 60

"Elder Wick, if I'm honest, your myocarditis was not completely cured five years ago, and eventually left some latent health problems. It's these latent health problems lurking in your body that caused your sudden heart illness! This isn't coronary heart disease!" Leon

explained.

Bernard was enlightened. "I see! Are you able to heal me then?"

"Yes. When I gave you my pressure point treatment

earlier, all those latent problems have been removed. I'm going to give you a prescription. Your condition will be completely cured if you take it for a week."

Bernard motioned for the bodyguard to get a pen and paper. Leon then wrote the prescription down and handed it back to the elderly man.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, young man. I don't know how I'm going to repay you for your

kindness… Here, take this check. This is a small token of

my appreciation. You can treat it as my consultation fee. Please take it!"

Bernard said with much gratitude. He took out a blank check from his pocket, wrote down a series of numbers, and then handed it to Leon.

Leon stretched out his hand and pushed the check back without even looking at it. "I appreciate your kindness, Elder Wick, but I'm not a regular doctor, and I don't plan to make a living off this. I can't accept this consultation fee. You should take it back!"

"I won't take no for an answer! Seven million isn't much, but it comes from my heart! You saved my life! Isn't my life at least worth that amount of money?"

Bernard insisted and shoved the check back to Leon.

"What? Seven million?" Leon was so shocked that his chin nearly fell to the ground. He never dreamed that Bernard would just hand over seven million without batting an eye!

Seven million was an astronomical sum for Leon. He has never seen that much money before, and he did not even dare to fantasize about having such funds!

Wealth should be acquired with effort, however, and he simply could not accept such a reward when he did next to nothing in treating Bernard.

"Please hear me out, Elder Wick. I really can't accept this money! I'm not a doctor, and I treated you without a lot of effort. It was never my intention to get anything in return from you. If I accept this money, the very essence of my actions would have been different!" Leon shook his

head and pushed the check back.

"But-"

Bernard was still very insistent, but Leon interrupted him

before he finished speaking, saying, "I have to insist. If you want to thank me, you can treat me to a meal if the chance ever arises. I'd appreciate it too if you lend me a

helping hand when I encounter any difficulties in the

future, but I really can't accept it if you give me all this money. It's a matter of principle."

Leon meant every word he said. For him, healing people

was simply his way of spreading kindness to everyone. He

would do his best to help whoever that he came across

regardless of whether they were poor or rich. It was not a

question of money.

"Very well then…" Bernard hesitated for a moment and

took the check back.

Since the park was in a high–end villa area, he surmised

that Leon was someone who had sufficient amount of

funds to stay there. Therefore, using money to measure Leon's medical skills, was indeed a very inappropriate thing to do.

Then again, if Leon knew what he was thinking, he would probably feel like crying.

Leon was still a poor man barely a few days ago. Even seven hundred was a big sum of money for him, let alone

seven million!

However, he did not lack funds for the time being and was not a certified doctor. He had no intention of changing his original principles of treating people for the sake of

money.

"You're a good person, young man!"

"You have excellent medical ethics to complement your medical skills! Not a single bad word could be said about your character!"

"I have never admired anyone before, but I'm proud to state here today that you are worthy of admiration!"

The onlookers were in awe and heaped praise after praise

to Leon.

Leon won the respect of everyone present there for the simple fact that he was not a greedy person!
