Ryan walked down the narrow path that lead to his parents, a sad smile on his face. The place is silent as usual, only a few people here and there, so he can talk to his parents as much as he wants without anyone eavesdropping. Just like the 21st of everyday, he had snuck out of the house to come here.Ryan stood in front of his parent's tomb, the designed tiles very neat, little colourful flowers grew around tomb. It's been three years now, three years since they were laid to rest and was made an orphan in the blink of an eye. Ryan set a bouquet chrysanthemum flower on his mother's grave and a bouquet of lily flowers on his father's. Both of them were buried side by side, not surviving an intended accident where only he manage to survive from, unscathed. He knew his parents death weren't exactly an accident, he could still remember the look on his mother's face as she gripped his arms three years ago, a small smile playing at her lips when she saw the blood on his body wasn't

Grandma Joan stared at Ryan angrily, "Are you wishing for me to die?!" She half yelled. "Calm down mother, just ignore him." Mrs Bruce sys soothingly. "I've never felt this good since I felt sick and you're wishing for me to die? How dare you?" "Who's the doctor here? Huh?" The Doctor snaps, "if I wasn't so sure of the acupuncture and how I did them, do you think I should recommend it?" ",I can't believe you." Alina whispered harshly, ", Didn't I warn you not to say anything when we enter." "If it isn't harmful to your health, I wouldn't speak up." Ryan explains to Grandma Joan. "And he is still here, claiming his right. He has no respect whatsoever." Aunt Sasha says, still glaring at him. "Are you trying to prove a point here because you are the odd one out amongst them and don't deserve to be with the family?" Uncle Jeffery asks smugly. He had immediately hated Ryan the day he set foot in the family house and was even more angry when he married his cousin. He had a perf

*** *** *** It was just like a miracle to everyone seated. Grandma, whose pulse had weakened significantly and her skin had already begun to become pale, was now breathing steadily and healthily even though she hasn't regained her consciousness yet. Her skin even became brighter than before and she looked more peaceful and without pain."Wow......" the doctor trailed off, amazed at the incredible healing speed that was taking place right in front of him. In all his years and experience, he has never seen anyone heal as fast as this or even perform the treatment as well as this. It was an amazing sight to behold."I knew you could do it!" Alex praised him, grinning from ear to ear. "I knew you were just putting on a show. You didn't have to scare us like that.""Yeah, that was too extreme. You might be confident enough to bring her back but you almost gave us a heart attack," Susan chimed in and soon the rest of the family joined in praising the doctor for his good work and rebuking h

"Where have you been?" Alina asked as Ryan walked in. She had changed from her earlier outfit into pink bunny-decorated pyjamas and was now sitting cross-legged in an armchair in the living room. "Had to go somewhere," he replied. "Do you need anything?""Isn't it too late to ask that question?" she cocked an eyebrow. "I've been home for almost an hour now. Don't you think I would have gotten anything I needed by myself?""Sorry," he said and walked towards the room slowly as if expecting an order or anything from her."You haven't answered my question?" she said. "Where have you been?" "Someone took me to meet someone else and I was delayed there," he replied. From his reply, Alina already deduced that he doesn't want to reveal information about where he has been, and although she had an irk to prove further, she decided to let it go. Knowing him, she was sure it wasn't anything productive. He might have just been out drinking because of the way he was treated earlier."Go freshen

*** *** *** "Where are you coming coming from?" Melinda, Alex mother stops him by the door, her hands akimbo. "Not now mum." Alex muttered tiredly, walking past her, fully into the house. "I heard Grandma Joan collapsed." Melinda continue, following closely behind him. "Yes, that's true." "And I also heard you called in the best Doctor." "Yes, that's right mum!!" "Why are you kissing those family ass?" "I am not the only one doing that." Alex retorted, plumping himself on the nearest chair. "I learnt from a professional." "Alex!!" Melinda screamed in horror. "I'm sorry mum, can you just let me be?" "I kiss their ass just so you won't have to and that's exactly what you are doing!" "I like Alina mum, you know that. Why are you stopping me?" "Last I checked, Alina is married." "Not for long..." Alex smirked, "I will make sure of that." "Please tell me it's not what I am thinking." Alex stands instead and disappears into his room without saying a word, th
