For the second time, Doris looked at the guards, and then at Patrick who still couldn’t lift her face, and the thoughts of uncertainty in her mind lingered. It became evident a few seconds later that she was a bit worried for several reasons. “Mrs. Brown?” Jason called her back to reality, and she instantly turned to look at him, wondering why he had a smile on his face even though his words were imperative. “Go on, I asked a question.” “Ye-yes, Young Master.” Doris nodded, and then she sighed heavily while everyone around her waited to hear what she was going to say, especially the guards who seemed like they had been wanting to get explanations for months. “This is true, Young Master.” Doris was still worried even after giving her response, and worse still, Jason still maintained his smile and nodded afterward. “I see. So tell me, when was the last time you disbursed the salary of workers in the Bank?” Jason ushered everyone in a solemn moment, that even their heartbeats b

Jason remained seated in the office for over thirty minutes before the Bank Manager eventually walked in with hurried steps. “I am really sorry for taking so much time, Young Master. The employees were so sad when they discovered the reason why they had not been paid. To think that I wasn’t aware of this.” That’s okay, Mr. Ruiz. I hope now that you will keep your eyes and ears to the ground. People don’t have to go through things like this.” “Certainly, Young Master,” Brian nodded in agreement while maintaining a pleasant smile on his face. He sighed heavily, and almost immediately, he walked over to the position Jason was seated and sought permission. “May I?” “Yeah, sure. Go on, it’s your office after all.” Jason gave way for him to grab the knob of the drawer under the table, adjusting himself to create enough space between them. Brian opened the drawer slowly, and then he brought out a blue file that had the Bank Seal alongside the Walker’s Enterprise logo. “I prepar

By the time Jason woke up, it was already dark, and the lights in the room had automatically brightened up, causing him to blink severally as they dazzled his face. Slowly, he pushed himself up from the bed and headed into the bathroom to freshen up. Coming out in less than twenty minutes, he grabbed his phone and walked out of the room to his son’s room. “Henry?” He met the toddler playing with the toys hanging above him as he lay in his cradle. From the giggles he made, it was obvious that he was very happy with his new home. Seeing his father, his elation increased, and he gestured for him to pick him up at once, clapping both hands while he voiced the only words he was able to make. “Da-Da! Da-Da!” “Daddy is here.” Jason picked up his son and then placed him on his shoulder before walking out of the room and shutting the door behind him. He walked slowly through the hallway until he got to his Grandfather’s door which he opened slowly and looked. “Grandpa!” He panicked

For a few seconds, Brenda stared at Jason who held her hand as soon as she tried to inject the old man with the syringe in her right hand, before she sighed softly and spoke with a calm voice. “This is meant to buy him more time till we find a permanent solution or something that would be able to prolong his life till the solution is available. This will boost his immune.” Brenda showed the syringe to Jason who stared at it with so much uncertainty written all over his face. “Must you inject it through his heart? What happened to his hands?” “His body is too weak to push the booster to his heart, his nerves are not functioning currently. The best shot we have at this is to give him the shot directly in his heart.” “Won’t it kill him?” Harry stole the words from Jason who stared at Brenda, waiting for her to give a response. “I already told you guys that this is really dangerous, and it is our best shot at this moment. His heartbeat is faint, and he has already lost more than

Jason hurried to his Grandfather who coughed for the second time and bent toward him with his face anxious. “Grandpa? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? It’s me, your Grandson!” Jason gently grabbed the old man’s arms and looked at his eyes which were trying to open as he flickered instantly. “Excuse me.” Brenda quickly grabbed her stethoscope and hurried to the old man while Jason moved away to let her do her job. “How is this possible?” Brenda whispered to herself as she checked the old man’s heartbeat and pulse, and then she opened his eyes and gasped slightly. “What is it?” Jason inquired from the Doctor who turned to look at him almost immediately. “This is a miracle! I was sure that I didn’t hear any heartbeat from his chest. He is totally fine, all the symptoms have vanished. How is this possible?” Brenda turned to look at Chang who had a fulfilled smile on his face which was accompanied by a heavy sigh of relief. “Told you! Herb will work! Herb will work! It worked!
