Jason and Harry knew that Baron had answered the call the moment they saw that Lord Walker’s countenance had changed. It was a tough moment for the old man; a moment when he had t force himself to apologize for something that was not entirely his fault. “Baron? We need to talk. I am sorry for what happened to your son. The young man didn’t deserve to die.” “Oh! Wow! Did I just hear you say you are sorry, Charlie? You never apologize for anything. You are seated in your high-horse, making demands and stating things that should happen in people’s lives.” “That’s not true and you know it.” Lord Walker said defensively, but Baron countered his words with a scoff. “Oh, please! You’ve always tried to show that you are righteous, Charlie! You never agreed to all the business ideas that I brought up. But that didn’t stop you from losing your precious son.” Baron sniggered. “So much for being a saint!” “Listen to me, Baron.” Lord Walker took in a deep breath which he let out slowly

Slowly, Jason lifted his face to look at what James was showing him. The sight of his foster parents in an interview on the same television channel made him lean forward. “I almost forgot about that.” He said with a whisper, eyes still on the television. Just like he had told them, Jason’s foster parents countered the words they had written earlier, stating that they had told a lie. They asked the public for forgiveness with the excuse that they were forced to do it because they needed money. “That’s good of them, at least they have some conscience,” James whispered, turning to look at Jason who scoffed at once. “Right. They did this because they were left with no choice. I paid them a visit.” “Oh. I thought they just decided to do this on their own.” James said, still looking at Jason who shook his head in response. “I hope they have learned their lessons.” Jason said only to his hearing before he turned to look at Harry who had his mind occupied with thoughts about his w

The tension in the vicinity was beginning to rise. It was obvious that the possibility of things getting very messy was high. It seemed as though the air had been polluted by a perspective violence that was evident on the faces of all the guards standing with their hands ready to grab their weapons. Taking in a deep breath, Jason gently moved Xavier aside after making sure that he had regained his balance. “Are you okay?” He asked the teenager who nodded without being able to utter even a word. He was obviously scared, and the sweatballs that ran down his face were enough to quench his thirst. “Stay here, don’t make any move.” Jason handed Xavier over to one of the guards who moved closer to him as soon as he saw his hand gesture. He took a quick glance at the car Brenda was seated in, but the only thing he could see was a tinted windshield and nothing else. Returning his gaze to Baron, he saw that the old man looked ready for some bloody action, but that didn’t seem like pa

Pacing around restlessly from one corner of the waiting room to the next, Jason struggled with his anxiety, unable to stop his heart from tromping violently. Apparently, the media had gotten a hint of the incident, and many viral posts had been made on the internet about the fact that Lord Walker was rushed into the hospital. No one knew the reason behind the injuries all over his body, and that made curiosity spark in most of the post while some bloggers assumed it must have been a domestic accident. “How did they get this picture?” Jason whispered as soon as he saw one of the many posts on the internet. But he only stared at his phone for a few seconds before returning it to the hallway which led to the particular ward where his Grandfather was kept. He grunted in annoyance and put his phone into his pocket at once, ignoring all the attention the incident was getting. It was very obvious that some of the people in the hospital and around its premises were talking about the inc

Shirley who heard the mention of his son’s name turned instantly, her eyes widened in excitement as soon as she saw her son Xavier. A loud but faint gasp left her at once. “Xavier? Is that you?” She asked with a shaky voice, struggling to push herself up, ignoring the pain she felt in her body. “Take it easy.” Harry quickly rushed to help her, but it didn’t look like she was worried about herself at that moment. All that mattered was the fact that Xavier was back to her alive and healthy. The young man was only able to stand close to the door after he managed to walk into the ward, unsure of how to face his mother who was confused by his behavior. “Why is he still standing there?” She asked Harry who was silent, causing her to look at Jason almost immediately. But she didn’t get any response from either of them. “Xavier? Come to your mother. Come on!” Shirley reached out to him, but he was still so reluctant until Jason urged him to go to her. “Go ahead, Xavier. It’s okay.
