Damien stared at her for a few seconds, wondering if he should go on telling more about it. Even though she looked concerned deep down, he could tell she was angry or rather, jealous.She was jealous and that was a big step for him in winning her back. That meant she still had feelings for him but talking about feelings or how anyone felt was wrong to him as he still had very important things to take care of."Like I said, I will come back and let you in on the whole story. For now, I need to leave because this is very important," he said again and she quickly nodded. "Please go on. Sorry for stopping you back. I just got carried away and worried, because I thought it might be a trap," she said and he shook his head in disagreement. "It is not a trap. We are talking about the Whyte family. I will be back in no time," he said and left, with her gaze fixed on him until he went away from her sight. She let out a deep breath and faced Eric. "I need to do something to help. How far have

Eleanor gasped and drew back, completely shattered by what he said. She looked at her sister and a tear flowed down her eyes. "There is something that can be done, right?" She asked and averted her gaze to Damien. "You can treat her right?""Well I-" she cut him off."Then don't waste time and start her treatment." She rushed to him, covering up the distance between them. "Please, treat my sister, Damien. I know you can do it and that's why I am putting my trust in you. Please, do something.""Don't worry Eleanor. There is something that can be done. I had a patient with this same illness and trust me, she is fine now," he assured and she immediately felt relief seeped into her."Thank goodness," she muttered and breathed deeply. "What do you need? I will get it for you immediately.""Everything I need for the treatment is at the hospital. But right now, the situation there is not good. If anyone sees Charlotte being taken there, it would add up to the issue, and accusing fingers wou

Damien went with the old man to his room and when they got there, he shut the door and turned to face him."Dr Damien, we haven't seen each other for a while," Mr Whyte said and sat down on the single couch. "Yes sir. I have been occupied with work, but I planned on visiting," he answered politely but the old man waved his hand, dismissing his excuse. "You don't have to explain. I didn't say it so you would feel bad or start telling me what has been happening in your life," he said and eased back on the chair. "Have a seat and let's talk properly."Damien nodded and sat down on the couch beside him. "I see you are going through a lot of trouble and my granddaughter in there also caused you trouble. Even now, she is a troublemaker by making you come here to treat her when you have a lot of work to do," he said and clicked his tongue. "I spoilt these girls.""I am only doing my job sir. I don't see this as a burden."The old man nodded, impressed that the young man was still diligent

Damien pulled over in front of the hospital and his car was immediately surrounded by the reporters who waited for him. The security officers, who were tripled, hurried forward and cleared the way, allowing Damien to pass. He came out of the car and hurried in."Doctor, thank goodness you are here. A patient who fell off a cliff was brought in," A doctor reported, walking beside him. "Her condition is critical right now. She went into cardiac arrest while in the ambulance and five minutes later when she was brought in.""Has a scan been done? Does she have broken bones?" He asked, entering the ER."Yes sir. The orthopedist has been informed and he will be here now. She has internal bleeding and her organs were affected." He stopped and let out a deep breath. "I don't think she will survive this."Dr Damien faced him with a frown and scolded, "Aren't you a doctor? Should you be saying something like this when she is still alive? As a doctor, you will try all you can to rescue her. You

Damien and Eric hurried into the office and met the doctor in charge of Ethan's autopsy. "Please come with me." She led them to her team. "What did you find, Dr Fiona?" Damien asked with anxiousness while scanning around to examine what they were doing. "Well sir, we finally detected the wrong medication administered to him. Whoever did this, did it to kill him," she said and picked up the result and handed it to him. Damien glanced through it and when he saw what was administered to him, his eyes went wide. "Potassium Chloride," he muttered. "Yes. His heart stopped.""This is a big proof for you, sir. We had no potassium chloride in this hospital. Someone did this," Eric said, relieved that they finally found something important.Damien fisted his hand, "How did this happen in this hospital? We weren't careful enough. A murderer came in and did this without our knowledge." He grounded his teeth. "I won't let this off until this person is caught."He faced Eric who shivered at the

Bianca let out a deep breath and crossed her arms beneath her bosoms. "There is no need to know. You will find out what this lead is after the person behind the patient's death is exposed and Damien's reputation is saved. For you, you can only wait patiently for that big news," she answered and walked out of the room."Damn it! This can't be. They can't find anything. I made sure to clean up every trace that would lead to me," she muttered and took her fingers in between her teeth, chewing on them. She thought of what she left behind but couldn't come up with anything. That night after she injected the young patient, she quickly left the ward and pulled off the nurse uniform. She took it back to the nurse's changing room and neatly placed it where she had seen it. She threw the infection into the trash bin, and she did that so Damien would be blamed. He was the last person to put a pack of medicine into the bin. For the CCTV footage, she had a friend who was a hacker, delete the f

Mike stared at him for a few minutes before he smiled meticulously. "I like the sound of that," he said and drew closer. "What is this job you have for me?" The restaurant staff came in along with two other waiters, carrying their orders in a tray. The two men stopped taking as they set the food on the table. Immediately they were done, they left the room, giving them privacy. "Now tell me, what is this job I have to do?" "Someone was murdered in my hospital. Someone who doesn't deserve this painful death and the murderer wiped out every trace leading to them. The plan is to make me take the blame," Damien explained and Mike nodded, understanding his situation. "Oh, you are talking about the patient murdered in your hospital. It is popular news. That's a pretty bad one but I love cases like this," he said. "I want you to find out who did it and I want it secretly done. As long as the person could do a clean job like this, we are not dealing with a stupid one." Mike nodded.

Bianca walked into the hospital and just as luck would have it, she sighted Eric first talking to a doctor. "Just who I want to meet," she muttered and walked to him. The reporters were still not giving up and were gathered outside. Although, Damien had been able to escape being interviewed. She stood a few distance away from Eric and when he glanced at her, she waved to inform him she was there to see him. Eric drew his brows, wondering why she was in the hospital, but he ignored her and averted his attention back to the doctor to who he was talking. After what seemed like forever, the doctor finally left and she hurried to him. "Good day, Mr. Eric.""It's you again. What do you want?""I need a favor from you. A very important… favor," she said stressing the 'important' so he would know how serious she was. He stared at her for a few seconds before he let out a deep breath and said, "Come with me."She nodded and followed him, trying her best not to do anything to provoke him.

Damien pulled over in front of the police station. He came out of the car along with Bianca and she walked close to him as they both entered the station. "Dr. Damien," one of the cops called immediately they entered and walked closer to him. "Please, come in."He went after him and was led to his office. "It's an honor to see you here. Please have a seat," he said and Damien nodded. Bianca sat down beside him. "I am Detective Bruno and I am in charge of Ethan Legg's case." He introduced. Damien remembered Mrs Legg once told him about the cops being involved, so he wasn't surprised when the officer said he was in charge of the case. "I know you just won your case but I need your help on this," he said and averted his gaze to Bianca. He stared at her for a while, not expecting him to come with her. "She is in on this case," Damien said, noticing how unpleased he was. "I can wait outside so you two can talk," Bianca offered but Damien held her hand. "Don't worry, I have an importan

"Mrs Legg!" He called out her name and hurriedly held her back. "Don't do this. Your son, husband, and daughter wouldn't want to see you like this.""Then why did they leave me all alone here?" She questioned and cried out. "I am all alone!""Ma'am, you are not all alone. I am here for you," he assured but she shook her head. "You probably hate me now. I took you to court and your reputation got ruined too. You are just pretending, right? You are here because you pity me, aren't you?" She questioned with a frown plastered on her face. "I don't need your pity!"Damien sat down beside her and took her hand in his. "I am not pretending. I also know what it means to lose everyone you love in the blink of an eye," he answered. He let out a deep breath and continued. "When I was young, my family and I went to the pack to celebrate my sixth-year birthday. We were all happy and we okayed a lit," he smiled remembering his childhood with his family. He went on, "That was the best day of my li

Damien was taken aback and strangely, there was no one in. The door had opened on its own. He opened the door further and his eyes stretched open seeing the empty living room. "What the heck is going on?" He asked out loud. His phone rang almost immediately, and when he saw the name on the screen he quickly answered the call. "Mike, where the heck are you?" He asked. He let out a deep breath and answered, "I apologize for this sudden act of mine but it's something that needs to be done.""What are you talking about?""Damien, I am in a lot of trouble right now so I left with my family. Even at this point, they would trace my number and that's why I just need to tell you what I know about Ethan's death.""You found out who killed him? How are you in trouble? Is the killer after you? Tell me, what is going on?""It's a very long detail but me running away isn't because of your case," he answered and swallowed hard. "I fell into the wrong's hand and right now, my life is at stack.

Damien fixed his gaze on Mrs Legg as they drove to the hospital. She was in a lot of pain due to the fall and that got him wondering if she had planned on killing herself. Did she purposely jump down the cliff because she wanted to die or was it a mistake? If it was suicide, he knew he had to do everything he could to stop her from attempting it again in the future. He took her hand in his and gave it a light squeeze. "I promise you, I will find your son's killer. I won't back down on my word. I will bring justice for your son's death."His phone vibrated in his pocket and he quickly brought it out. It was a message from Mike: 'Damien, where are you? We need to talk.' it reads.He knitted his brows, wondering if he had found a clue to Ethan's death. He quickly typed back, letting him know he had something important to do but would meet up with him in an hour. He averted his gaze back to Mrs Legg and continued staring at her. The van pulled over in front of the hospital and she was

Damien slowly turned back and found a wolf growling at him. He moved back, pointing his flashlight at it. The wolf was ready to attack but due to the flashlight directed to his eyes, he wasn't able to attack immediately. Damien used that opportunity to search around for a stick, but it was far away, close to where the wolf was. "Dang it!" He muttered. He thought of a way to get it, but that would put his life in danger. He looked behind him and saw that falling would be more dangerous. 'what should I do now?' he wondered, trying to think but every way he could come up with, would end him up in danger. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a helicopter and the wolf ran back into the woods. He looked up and sighed. "Thank goodness," he muttered and looked down the cliff. "Mrs Legg, I just hope you are not down there," he muttered. "Sir," he heard a voice call out to him, forcing him to turn back. Eric came out of the woods and sighed in relief seeing him. "Sir, thank goodness you are

Mrs Legg kept walking deep into the bush until she came to the end of a cliff. She stepped on a stone and fell back, hitting her head hard. She cried out, nursing the pain. A cold breeze blew on her exposed skin. She shivered and rubbed her arms. "Where am I?" She asked, looking around. She slowly stood up and shivered. "How did I get here?" She asked. She looked back and noticed she was surrounded by a thick bush. Tears flow down her eyes as realization draws on her. She was lost and she had no idea how she got there."Please don't," she cried and bent down, crying her eyes out. She stayed in that position for a few minutes before she heard a whisper from a distance. She sharply looked up and her body shook in fright. "Who's there?" She asked, with her gaze focused on the direction the whistle came from. It was from the bushes and her instinct immediately told her it might be a wild animal. She stood up and took a step back. "Please, don't harm me," she cried, not minding if i

Damien hurried to her and called her name but got no response. He checked her pulse and breathed in relief when he felt it. He resuscitated her and when she finally gained consciousness, he let out a deep breath of relief. "Thank goodness," he muttered. "Ethan," she called out to him immediately after she opened her eyes. "My son, where have you been?" She asked as tears flowed down her eyes. "They said you were dead. They said you left your mother alone."She lifted her hand to his cheek and slowly caressed him. "Why did you disappear? Why did you leave me all alone?""Mrs Legg," Damien called out with his eyes stretched wide, realizing what was going on with her. She smiled brightly at him. "Please don't leave me again. Don't scare me like that. Don't scare your mother."Damien stared at her not able to say a word. She was happy even though he knew it would only be for just a little while. He swallowed hard and took her hand in his. "I won't," he answered. He checked his pocket

Damien kept stealing gazes at Mrs Legg as the lawyers laid their arguments before the judge. She looked so pale and weak and he knew in a matter of time, she would collapse. The evidence they had was brought forward, including the evidence that he wasn't at the hospital during the patient's death. Immediately it was revealed to everyone in the court, and Mrs Leg began to wail. Damien's heart broke into a million pieces. He couldn't shove the thought of it happening at his hospital, which made him guilty too. After an hour, the judge declared him not guilty of the charges, bringing the case to an end. Bianca watched across the courtroom with a smile plastered on her face. She left her seat and walked to Damien who looked lost. "Hey," she said, calling his attention. He looked at her and forced a small smile. "You don't look happy.""I do. I am just awed," he answered. "I know you, Mr Williams. You are the least happy right now even though you won the case and your name has been c

Damien walked into the private room Mrs Legg was in and stood by the door with his gaze fixed on her. They both stared at each other quietly, having different thoughts running through their minds. "Come in," she said with spite lacing her voice. Damien nodded and went closer to her. "How are you feeling now?"She let out a deep breath and looked away, ignoring his questions. "Why did you bring me here? What is your motive? Are you trying to show everyone you are a good guy?" She asked, clenching her jaw. Damien sighed, not surprised by her questions. Even though Eric had told him about her urgency to meet him, he knew she was still going to scold him and let out her hate on him. But, he was ready to accept it all. "That wasn't the intention, ma'am," he answered politely. She scoffed and looked at him. "Do you think I am a fool? I know what you are playing at. This is all a game to you to escape the punishment you will receive for what you did."He said nothing and only lowered h
