Chapter 502:
Then, he handed the phone to Emanuel beside him without waiting for Garrett to respond.
Everything happened too fast. Before anyone could react, Ashton had already lifted and transferred Milena onto a gurney and pushed her toward an unlit, vacant operating room.
Kinsey was the first to come to his senses. He slapped his thigh and rushed forward, shouting, “Hey, stop!” The other doctors quickly followed to help block Ashton’s way.
Only Emanuel was left there. He blinked, glancing from the phone in his hand to Ashton’s determined figure disappearing down the hallway. He looked confused, wondering what was happening.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice from the other end of the line, making him subconsciously raise the phone to his ear. “Hello? Who’s this? What do you mean by what you just said?” Emanuel was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened as he fully grasped who was on the other end of the line. It was none other than Garrett Howard, the luminary of medicine in Inewood, known for his expertise and medical breakthroughs.
Garrett’s reputation wasn’t only confined to Inewood. He was also famous in Staville, where he had built a vast network in the medical field.
Emanuel, the director of the Eighth Hospital in Staville, was one of his old acquaintances.
“Garrett, is that really you?” Emanuel exclaimed in disbelief. “Is that young man your apprentice?”
A confused expression crossed Garrett’s face. He didn’t expect to receive a call from an unfamiliar number. He asked with a frown, “Apprentice? Emanuel, is that you? I still have your number in my phonebook. Why are you calling me from an unfamiliar number?”
Since Emanuel thought Ashton was Garrett’s apprentice, he didn’t dare delay. He recounted everything to Garrett in one breath.

Garrett’s frown deepened, and he was even more confused. “My apprentice? Do I have an apprentice in Staville? Why don’t I remember?”
But as soon as he said this, a thought struck him. “Emanuel, wait! Is the young man you’re talking about around six feet tall, with a strong physique, striking features, and a small mole next to his left eye?”
Emanuel recalled Ashton’s appearance in his mind and immediately replied, “That’s right! Garrett, is he your apprentice?”
“Of course not!” Garrett exclaimed.
Before Emanuel could say anything, he continued, “I am not qualified to take him as my apprentice.”
He chuckled and added, with a hint of admiration in his voice, “On the contrary, I am more suited to be his apprentice. Anyway, let’s stop talking nonsense. Whatever that young man has requested, make sure to fulfill it immediately. Do you remember the Longevity Pill I mentioned to you before? The one known for its health benefits. It was his medicine. He is the legendary Dr. Baldwin.”
