Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 6

The news felt like a huge rumble to her as her face turned pale and felt as if all her strength was drained from her body. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

She did not expect that decision would cause a chain reaction of horrible consequences.

“My father had a heart attack and we need to rush over to Goodwill Hospital right now!”

Yulia rushed over to the door with Lola in her arms.

“Give me the keys. I’ll drive!” SKylar said.

As they made their way over to the hospital, he called Dianne and told her, “I need you to bring my medical kit over to Goodwill Hospital.”

Although getting a heart attack was common, a recurring heart attack would put the patient at incredible risk. So, Skylar decided that he would step in and help the patient just in case.

Indeed, aside from being an excellent military strategist, he was an incredibly skilled healer too.

It turned out that not only did his medical kit contain twenty-four needles, it also contained some medical diagrams. Apparently, this skill was known as the Twenty-Four Dragon Scales.

It seemed that Skylar was lucky enough to learn that skill when he was stationed at the Northern borders back then. It was given that name because the procedure symbolized a full twenty-four hour day cycle. This skill was known to have the ability to revive a dead person. He was able to save countless lives at the Northern borders with that skill alone.

It did not matter if the victims were army generals or regular common folk, he was able to save all of them regardless of their condition. Therefore, something as common as a heart attack would be a simple walk in the park for him.

“Didn’t you say that you’d stop healing when you left the Northern borders, boss?”

Dianne’s eyes glimmered when she heard the order. She wondered just who exactly was important enough to have Skylar break his vow.

“My father-in-law had a heart attack,” Skylar replied and continued, “I want Yvonne and her father to be our servers during the retirement ceremony.”

“Yes sir!” Dianne replied.

Skylar hung up the call after that.

Suddenly, Lola asked, “Hey daddy, who is your father-in-law?”

Skylar patiently replied, “Your grandpa is. Grandpa had a heart attack, so I need to save him.”

“Whoa, you’re awesome, daddy! I can’t believe that you’re able to save grandpa!” The little girl cheered.

However, Yulia let out a long winded sigh and looked very disappointed.

It just makes me wonder just why someone as handsome and as capable as Skylar would even like to boast this much. I’m not going to even mention whether or not he knows medicine, but I’m pretty sure he’s not even qualified enough to attend the ceremony. Have Yvonne and her dad serve others? Gosh, on what basis though? What is wrong with him!

Soon, the entire family of three arrived at Goodwill Hospital.

However, Yulia was immediately started by what she saw when she arrived at the chancellor’s office.

It turned out that her stepmother was pleading with Nicholas while Charles and Madam Sue were just watching the entire scene play out.

However, Yvonne could be seen grinning at them.

Upon seeing that, Skylar frowned and asked, “What is Nicholas doing here?”

So, Yulia approached Betty and asked, “Why are you even begging him, Betty?”

However, without warning, Betty shoved Yulia to Nicholas as she said, “Nicholas owns this hospital and with your father’s condition, he won’t be able to make it in time for a transfer. Hurry up and beg Nicholas, so he’ll assign a specialist to help save your father!”

“Nicholas, do you have a hand in interfering with getting my father the treatment he needs?” Yulia asked.

However, Nicholas touched his bandaged head and scoffed as he said, “I’m going to be really honest with you. My uncle is a cardio specialist and he isn’t at work right now, so why should I have him operate on your dad? I don’t care how serious his condition is, he’ll have to wait till tomorrow!”

“Is there really no one else on duty?” Yulia asked.

“I’m really sorry, but even if there is, they dare not accept such a serious case anyway.” Nicholas scoffed.

It turned out that Nicholas rushed to the hospital immediately after he was beaten by Skylar. However, Yvone told him that Yulia had angered Lincoln so much that it triggered his heart attack. That was why Lincoln was brought to the hospital then.

Since he was the chancellor’s nephew, every doctor in the entire hospital knew who he was. So, he obviously wanted to use this opportunity to get back at Yulia then.

Yulia was in a panicked frenzy. She had decided to let go of her pride in order to save her father, so she pleaded, “Please Nicholas, it’s his life here we’re talking about. Look, could you please put our differences aside for a moment and call the chancellor so he can save my father?”

However, Nicholas replied with a smug look, “So, now you know how to beg me? Isn’t your unruly man here as well? Since he’s that awesome of a man, why don’t you have him help you then!”

It was only then did Betty realize that Skylar had tagged along, so she yelled, “Are you planning to kill your father, Yulia? How dare you bring that penniless bastard here! How blind must you be to be attracted to him? Don’t you know that not only is he completely penniless, he was obsessed with Yvonne for five years! I want you to leave, Skylar! Yulia and I won’t ever allow you to get married into our family! Don’t worry, Nicholas. You’re the only son-in-law we want. Yulia was just being a fool for what happened today. Don’t worry, I will teach her a very good lesson after her father wakes up.”

Nicholas was somewhat delighted to hear that, so he said, “All right then. I’ll call my uncle to come over just for you, Ms. Betty. However, I want Yulia to leave with me tonight.”

“You…”

Yulia was shocked and furious to hear that. She did not expect Nicholas to make such a request in front of so many people.

Suddenly, Yvonne burst out laughing as she said, “Oh please, Yulia. You already have a child, so why are you still pretending to be all pure and innocent now. I mean, you’re willing to sleep with some random man five years ago. Can’t you sacrifice a little to save your father today?”

Yvonne’s comment hurt Yulia a lot.

Suddenly, Skylar gave Yvonne a tight slap across her face, causing her to cough out blood.

“I told you that Yulia belongs to me now and no one has the right to hurt her anymore. Well, since you clearly didn’t remember what I said earlier in the day, I’ll remind you again.”

As soon as he said that, he slapped Nicholas across his face again.

“Oh, and you. You have a death wish to insult my woman!”

Skylar’s statement felt like a thunderous roar. This shocked Betty so much that she felt dizzy.

Damn that useless bastard. I’ve spent so much effort begging him and just when he’s finally willing to help, he slapped him! Oh gosh, we’re doomed! My good days will come to an end if Lincoln dies.

Madam Sue was so livid that she was tempted to beat Skylar to death with her walking stick.

Yulia was startled by his sudden act as she stumbled a couple steps backward. After that, she gave Skylar an anguished look.

Gosh, does Skylar have anger issues? I mean although Nicholas was a complete scumbag and I have no issues in him beating Nicholas earlier, but things are different now. This is all about my father’s fate though!

Yulia was disappointed about what he did then. She regretted accepting that wooden pendant earlier.

“Skylar… Why must you act before you think?” Yulia asked with a shaky voice.

However, Skylar replied, “I told you, no one is allowed to bully my woman!”
