Thanks to Niko, Julia and Adam were able to break free and before the nurse could realize what was happening, she was left alone in the hallway. Frustrated, she tried to inform Doctor Anderson beforehand but the lines were not connecting. When Niko got to the private ward, he was greeted by two muscular security men guarding the door to prevent anyone from getting in. "Tell Doctor Anderson that I'm here for him." He said. "He's busy. He asked you to wait for him in his office." The first man said, still maintaining his stoic expression. "But I'm here now and I need to see him." He replied stubbornly. "Leave." "And if I don't." "We will throw you out." The second man said, closing in on him. "Fine, I will wait for him here." He said, taking several steps backward. It was at this point that Julia and Adam joined him. "What happened?" Julia asked, darting her eyes around. "He won't let me in." "Why?" Julia scowled. Pushing him aside, he walked up to the man, and

Immediately it was dawn, Julia found her way to the kitchen to start preparing dishes she was going to take to Raymond that morning. Niko, who was still lying on the couch was trying to get some sleep but when the clanking of pots and pans wouldn't stop he decided to assist her. While they were on this, Adam went to get some flowers at Julia's request and when he was done, he dropped by the mansion. His wife had wanted to come along but since she was on duty that morning, she couldn't make it. "Are you almost done?" He asked, joining them in the kitchen. "Not yet," Julia replied, placing another pan on the cooker. "What? You've been cooking since six am, this is already past nine. Are you cooking stones?" He growled. "I told her but she wouldn't listen. There is no way Raymond can finish all these meals in a day." Niko said tiredly. He had been trying to make her stop but she wouldn't listen. "He will." She countered. "Not the Raymond I know," Adam said, taking off the

The following morning, after a brief visit to Dulo, Raymond got into his car and Niko who was sitting behind the steering wheel turned on the ignition and they began to head to Lexington Law Firm. Raymond's meeting with Bernard Myles was scheduled for 9:30 am and by the time they arrived, they just had three minutes left to get to Bernard's office. "It's not totally bad." Niko shrugged as he pushed the car key into his pocket. "Let's hurry so we won't miss him," Raymond replied as he swung his briefcase containing the documents he was going to tender to Bernard. When they got to his office, his secretary confirmed their identity before ushering them into his office. "You must be Raymond Winston," Bernard said immediately after they settled in. "Yeah. Thanks for granting me an audience despite your busy schedule." Raymond said, placing his briefcase on the table. Reclining on his chair, Bernard bit his finger for a while before leaning towards them with his palms placed t

"What the hell just happened?" Raymond yelled, hitting his fists against the wooden table. The courtroom was already empty except for him, Niko and Bernard who were seething with anger. "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself back there."Bernard replied with a gritted teeth. Running his fingers through his hair, he walked to the end of the room only to join them several minutes later. "I will handle him. You just have to trust me." He said. "Handle him? How? You two pissed the judge off. With the way things went, my instincts tell me that this case would be adjourned till further notice." Niko scowled. "I said I will handle it. You paid heavily to get justice and I will make sure you get it." He snapped as he grabbed his briefcase. With a scowl etched on his face, he began to head towards the exit when the huge metal door creaked open and Jason, who was equally wearing a scowl, stepped in.Raymond and Niko shifted their attention to the duo as they awaited the drama that was going

"I thought they wouldn't drop by." Julia groaned, gulping loudly. "It's in their genes to flock around people like birds, you shouldn't be bothered." Doctor Anderson replied. "I think I should be on my way now. I have a patient to attend to." He added, taking a quick glance at his wristwatch. Disappointed with his sudden request, they all wore a frown, not minding the reporters who had their eyes fixed on them. "Next time I will be around." He said, trying to wipe the frown off their faces but it didn't work so he had no choice but to stay back until he found an opportunity to leave. The patient he was talking about was an imaginary one. He just wanted to leave the court premises, return home, and get his well-deserved rest. "Are you sure you want to face them?" Niko asked. "Not really but… do you have any idea on how we can send them off," Raymond asked, nodding at the reporters who were staring back at them with a look of expectancy on their faces. "I will ask the security pe
