Not Again Mr Whitney novel Chapter 16

Everyone was in shock and didn’t saw what Calvin and Selena was doing.

Except Rita.

Her teeth were chattering out of astonishment and anger.

“Calvin, how dare you cheat on me like that?”

Dr. Marcus saw that the old man was back to life and his conditions became stable, he fell to the ground.

“It was really the Soul Hook and he knows all of the nine moves.”

“He didn’t steal this from me. How is that even possible?”

He knew the first three moves but he had never seen the next six moves.

The next six moves could save a man from death. This was divine and magical.

At the beginning, he was so cocky that he nearly killed the man.

The kid he looked down upon saved that man and brought him back to life. He was on the next level.

Calvin noticed Rita was staring and pushed Selena away.

“Miss Bentley, I’m glad that it worked. Doctors, the old man was still weak and vulnerable. Please take good care of him.”

They all nodded and felt ashamed of their behaviors before.

Calvin was still so humble in front of them and respected them.

“Mr. Whitney, please rest assured, we’ll try our best to take care of him.”

Rita was amazed because she could see the admiration in their eyes.

Which Calvin had never got from others...?

“Miss Bentley, gentlemen, I still got something to do and I need to leave now.”

Calvin was about to leave and then his hand was held by someone.

He turned around and it was Dr. Marcus. He was on his knees, looking respectful and humble.

“Mr. Whitney, please take me as your student.”

Then Mr. Marcus was about to kiss his ring.

Calvin stepped aside and said, “Dr. Marcus, what are you doing?”

He didn’t even dare to look up, “I was being snobby and arrogant. I thought I was an expert ever since I learned how to use the Soul Hook. But today I get to witness Mr. Whitney’s power and I realized how stupid and shallow I was. Please, Mr. Whitney, teach me the other six moves. I know I am being rude but please say yes and teach me.”

Calvin hurriedly wanted to hold him up but the man was too stubborn and didn’t want to stand up.

So he had to squat and said, “Dr. Marcus, you’re being too kind. I was just messing around and got lucky. I’m not good enough to teach you.”

Dr. Marcus knew it would be hard to convince Calvin to teach him the Soul Hook.

“Mr. Whitney, I know you don’t believe my sincerity. In the past, I used the first three moves to save a lot of lives. But I also failed many times. I thought it was their destiny. Today I get to see the magic of the nine moves and I finally know how ignorant I was. Thinking of all the lives I failed to save, I realized they wouldn’t die if it weren’t for my arrogance. I’m so regretful for that...”

Dr. Marcus was in his seventies. He was crying out of guilt and regret, which touched Calvin quite a lot.

The doctor’s job was to save lives. Every life that a doctor saved would bring him or her pride which was more precious than money.

Likewise, every life they couldn’t save would break their spirits.

“Dr. Marcus, please get up.”

He sighed and thought he didn’t impress Calvin.

Seeing him miserable like that, Calvin smiled, “Dr. Marcus, based on your age, you could even be my grandfather. It’s not right for you to be a kid’s student. Since you want to learn the Soul Hook, of course I’d love to teach you.”

“What?” Dr. Marcus looked at him and was amazed.

“You’re willing to do that?”

“Yeah, sure. No matter how great the Soul Hook is, only using it to save lives can realize its value. Otherwise, if I keep it to myself, it would be useless and meaningless.”

Dr. Marcus was overwhelmed by his words and wanted to get down on his knees again and Calvin hastily stopped him, “Please don’t do that. If you don’t mind, we can be friends. Please don’t talk about being my student again or else I’ll just run off.”

Dr. Marcus nodded excitedly, “Great, great. I didn’t expect to be so lucky and honorable before the day I die.”

Calvin wrote down the spell and gave it to him. He told him if he had any questions about this, he could always come to him.

Dr. Marcus carefully hid the spell in his pocket.

After everything was finished, Calvin checked the time and was about to leave.

“Miss Bentley, contact me anytime you need my help.”

Selena nodded and looked at him with affection.
