The newcomer was Joshua Depp, Evelyn's third uncle and a close friend of Tristan, someone with whom he had shared life-threatening experiences. Coming from a military background, Joshua exuded a commanding presence that made him seem untouchable. His very aura demanded respect and prevented anyone from daring to act out of line.

Tristan didn't acknowledge his presence; instead, he turned his attention to the doctor, urging him, "Hurry up."

The doctor, who had beads of sweat forming on his forehead, was too frantic to wipe them away. "Y-yes, just a moment, sir."

At these words, Tristan's gaze darkened, his presence becoming imposing as he coldly asked, "You really enjoy watching me struggle?"
