The doctor placed a comforting hand on Noah's shoulder and spoke gently.“Be rest assured, Mr. Kingsley. We'll do the best we can. We won’t let anything happen to Mr. Warner."With that, the doctor and his team entered the operation room, leaving Noah, Eliana, and Stuart waiting outside the operation theater in anticipation.Their anxiety was building with every passing minute; three agonizing hours had passed this way, but no one came out to tell them anything that was going on inside.Noah or Staurt had not sat down, even for a minute; both of them were too worried to even notice the strain on their legs or even breathe. Thankfully, it was an autonomous process and was taking place in the background without any external effort, or else, they would have stopped doing that as well.Eliana paced nervously, alternating between trying to comfort Noah and Stuart and tamping down her own fears. However, attempts to calm them down were not quite successful.Beneath his steely exterior, Noa

Noah was understanding each and every word that Warner was saying, but there was a part of him which still didn't want to believe them… the little boy who had been thrown out into the world without his family didn't want to believe his grandpa's words.There were many cons for believing them, and the worst of it was that because of this news, he would have to accept the fact that his brother was not with them anymore.However, he didn't want to disappoint his grandpa, either. Shrugging away his worries and fixing a smile on his face, he spoke;“I know grandpa! But right now, you need to rest, so don't think about business right now… just rest.”“Yes, my dear… I will. But tell me, how are Viola and Otis? He… he was their only son. Please tell me they are okay too?”He asked, as he was really concerned about his step son and daughter in law. Even though he was well aware of their reality, this wasn't the time to judge and treat them according to their past actions and greed.“The staff

Noah and Otis both heard what Warner had said, and Otis gave his eager agreement before Noah could have a chance to voice his opinions.“Yes Dad! I totally agree with you. I think it is a brilliant idea, as it would seal many mouths.”“But grandpa and uncle, you guys have forgotten one important factor. Although I am also the son of this family, I haven't faced the camera or media persons, even for once in my entire life. I have never been in the public eye, nor have I been media trained like other members of the family. And it doesn't stop there, I don't really know much about the complete extent of our business; or we can say that I barely know things about our business in this instance. I don't even know how to run a business on my own in particular, so how could I manage to host this press conference? I don't even know yet, if I might have stage fear or not–”“Noah! Noah! Calm down son! Calm down, we get it.”It was Otis who interrupted Noah, trying to console him. “We get everyt

Otis’s face turned dark like storm clouds as soon as he noticed Stuart's presence there, and his mightier- than- you attitude felt like a personal taunt to Otis, because of course, he wouldn't treat Noah this way in a hundred years.He was doing a good enough job keeping his temper in check till now; but the moment he said that Warner had sent him there to guide Noah for the press conference, he completely lost it.If he had his way, Otis would have thrown him out of the room and locked the door until the end of the press conference. Alas! It would ruin everything if he would reveal his anger in front of them right now. Thinking this, he composed himself before he spoke after Stuart completed his statement. “We get it Stuart, Dad has asked you to come here for Noah's sake. But why would you leave him alone without consulting or even informing any one of us? We all know how much he loves Noah and the fear of him being alone in the interview must have made him so anxious that he has s

Things at the conference were going too well, to believe that they were being monitored by Noah. For someone who didn't know him, it was hard to believe that he was new to the limelight– someone who didn't have any exposure to the media, or any media training for that matter.The success of the press conference made Warner so happy that he couldn't stop gushing over Noah. It was safe to say that he wouldn't be getting over this milestone any time soon. He had insisted that a livestream be set up in his hospital suite and refused to skip even a single second, though both Noah and Otis had asked him not to watch the press conference because of their different concerns. Noah didn't want his grandpa to take on any more tension during the press conference, while Otis didn't want to get caught by the experienced eyes of his step dad, knowing that it would not take him too long to figure out that he had already planted a reporter there, to bring everything crashing down with a single blow.
