With a sigh in her heart, Anna Scott gently advised in a low voice, “Mr. Clark, the longer you delay treating this injury, the lower your chances of recovery become, and the higher the costs will be. Three years ago, it would have cost less than one million Alliance credits for a ninety-one percent chance of a cure, but now, it’s already soared to tens of millions of Alliance credits. Plus, the nearly thirty thousand credits per month for care is also a huge sum... I know my suggestion is quite offensive, but please trust in our hospital’s technology. If you undergo amputation and use a prosthetic, you absolutely won’t feel any discomfort. And you would only need less than a hundred thousand Alliance credits and just three days to stand up again and walk on your own…”

Before Anna Scott could finish speaking, the man, Ethan Clark, had already nodded slightly. “Dr. Anna Scott, I’ll consider your suggestion. Thank you for your concern.”

Hearing Ethan Clark’s words, Anna Scott knew that this man in front of her would never listen to her; “I’ll consider it” was just a perfunctory response.

She truly couldn’t understand what kind of conviction made him so persistent in insisting on fully healing his legs.

Was it to become an athlete? Or to become a glorious and great mecha knight?

With today’s technology, ordinary prosthetics are already identical in function to real limbs. Most things that ordinary people can do, most disabled people can also do with prosthetics...

Except for those with extremely high physical requirements—the mecha knights, who represent the highest honor of the Alliance.

But to be a full-fledged mecha knight, not only must one’s physical fitness reach level four, but their mental strength must also reach level seven, enough to slightly move objects with their mind. Yet this man in front of her, at twenty-three, only had a mere level one mental strength. To become a level seven psychic...

There was no hope for that in this lifetime.

“Dr. Anna Scott, thank you for your help today. Please come again next week.”

As Anna Scott felt a tinge of regret, Ethan Clark’s voice had already come over.

“Next week, huh…”

Anna Scott was slightly taken aback, but nodded. This week’s care was finished, and she had indeed completed her tasks for today.

“All right then, Mr. Clark, please be careful. As before, don’t make any vigorous movements with your legs during this period. Take care, so things don’t get worse.”

Ethan Clark nodded.

Anna Scott gave a few more careful instructions, then soon left.

After Anna Scott left, Ethan Clark didn’t continue sunbathing here. Instead, he pushed his wheelchair toward his own residence.

He looked calm and peaceful.

He hadn’t gone far when, right in front of him, a pair of lively, adorable girls came walking by, chatting and laughing.

If Dr. Anna Scott were still here, she would have immediately recognized that one of the girls was none other than Ethan Clark’s younger sister—Olivia Clark.

Ethan Clark’s gaze swept over Olivia Clark’s bulging backpack, as if she was about to go out. His hands paused slightly on the wheelchair, and he was about to ask something, but Olivia Clark merely glanced at him, curled her lips, and quickly looked away, acting as if she hadn’t seen him at all, blending into the not-so-crowded flow of people on the street.

She didn’t greet him, not even a word. In her eyes, Ethan Clark even caught a faint trace of barely concealed disgust.

Olivia Clark, the top student at Changning City’s No. 1 Advanced Academy, only eighteen years old, not only beautiful and cute, but two years ago had already earned the level four psychic’s honor medal. In addition, she was level four proficient in mecha knowledge, level three excellent in physical skills, level three excellent in calligraphy and painting, level three excellent in science, level two excellent in humanities, level four excellent in interstellar history...

Excellent, excellent, excellent!

Everything was excellent!

If the word “genius” needed a spokesperson, then Olivia Clark would definitely be one of the best candidates.

Such an outstanding and beautiful girl with limitless potential would attract attention anywhere, shining like the stars and the moon. In the entire No. 1 Advanced Academy of Changning, she was undoubtedly the favored daughter of the heavens.

But...

Such a genius girl, surrounded by admiration, had an older brother whose mental level was only the most ordinary level one and who couldn’t even stand. If word of this got out, especially at Changning No. 1 Advanced Academy, it would undoubtedly be a huge embarrassment for her.

Because of this, Olivia Clark usually treated him with cold indifference. If she saw him in front of her friends, she would always avoid him from afar. Acting as if she hadn’t seen him at all, like now, was nothing new.

“Hey, hey, Olivia, that guy keeps staring at you. Looks like he wants to say hi. Hehe, our Olivia is so charming—she captivates everyone, young and old. Even guys almost old enough to be uncles can’t take their eyes off you.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. That guy looks dumb—one glance and you can tell there’s something wrong with his head.”
