Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 21
Everyone was left on edge, anxious to hear what had happened. Did Damien's treatment fail? They had a lot of questions running through their minds. Suddenly, Eleanor clapped her hands and jumped in happiness, "He is okay. Grandfather is awake!" She announced, to the surprise and relief of the three men. "Glad to know he is alright," Dr Mitchell said, with the corners of his lips turned up into a smile. It was the good news of the night. Damien on the other hand, was filled with relief. Finally, the old man was okay and that meant a lot to him. Mitchell began to see him in a new light. He was able to cure the sickness that no doctor could cure.The cure had been searched for for years, but he did it. "This is unbelievable," Dr Kim muttered and stepped forward, "You did find the cure every doctor has been searching for for years. This is unreal!" He added, with his face covered with surprise and shock. Hearing what the men were talking about, the reporters became curious again and

"This one says, 'Damien Smith, twenty-six years old, has shaken the world by surprise. He has brought hope again to everyone.'" Eleanor read out loud with a smile playing across her lips. "I must say, the internet is crazy."He nodded in agreement and sat down on the couch, facing her, "But how did they know so much about me? How did the bloggers find out? Now, I am really worried."She shrugged her shoulders and pressed back against the couch, "they are crazy and would get the tiniest detail of what you never expect them to know."Eleanor's phone vibrated again and she tapped on the message, "Another message again and this one says, 'Miss Eleanor, you did a great job at the gala today, it was wonderful. About that young doctor, can I have an audience with him?" She laughed and shook her head. "Every message I get is about you. Guess you are the trending topic today."It was surprising how Damien's life changed in just a day. There were so many things happening at once but he was more

Damien walked out of the hospital, wanting to take a stroll down the road. His head got clouded after seeing the message from Coy and his weakness vanished.It was a big opportunity. His dream, but there he was suddenly in between two decisions to make. He wanted to go there, but his mind seems drifted from working there. The road was busy with people hurrying back to their houses and some, going somewhere else. He let out a deep breath and joined the crowd, heading nowhere in particular. He let his mind wander to what he could gain knowledgeably by working with Coy Medical Center. The best doctors he could think of work there and meeting them would be a big push for him.He thought about the positive benefits of working in the hospital, which was located in the capital, and concluded it would d be more than he could ever imagine. He put his hands in his pocket and continued his journey taking in as much air as he could and letting the cool breeze of the night cool him down.His li

Damien drove down the road heading towards the northern city, using a map to guide his way. He had a patient to attend to and a few more before the end of the day. The corners of his lips curled up as he recalled the last conversation he had with Eleanor. She had gifted him a brand new SUV model car and paid him some amount of money, which he was sure would be enough to take care of everything he needed for a few months.Her grandfather was getting better, but he never had a chance to see him. He promised to visit again when he got back to the South. He drove into the city, which was busy as usual. It was a populous and industrious city, known for its beauty and busy nature. He drove towards a hotel and pulled over, handing the car key to the valet. His patient was the former CEO of the hotel before his son, Nelson Drill, took over the position. Mr Nelson was known for his temperament and how easily he punished people who didn't do as he wished or made mistakes. Damien let out a d

The older man, who was Mr Nelson's secretary, adjusted his glasses and examined Damien from head to toe. "Dr Damien?" He questioned again and shook his head, "Mr Nelson never mentioned the name. I know every doctor who was called in for the former chairman's treatment, and you are not one of them."The secretary, Brian, wondered if the young man had gotten the wrong address, but it couldn't be. The hotel was among the top three five-star hotels and no one can mistake another address for it. "Are you sure you were invited here by Mr Nelson?" He questioned again to be sure. Damien tried to get out of the security officers' hold, but they gripped him harder. He gave up on trying and faced Brian, "I got an email telling me to come here."Brian drew his brows together in confusion. He looked at Damien again, wondering if he was lying. Not knowing what to believe, he went on to answer, "I handle all the emails of Mr Nelson. I never sent an email to any Dr Damien. You must be mistaken.""

Dr Damien Smith? Brian and the receptionist were both taken aback, clearly remembering the name. The name of the young man who they had walked out of the hotel. Seeing how shocked and quiet they both were, Mr Nelson sensed something was wrong. He faced Brian with his jaw clenched, "Don't tell me he was here."Brian quickly bowed his head, "He was here," he answered, not daring to look at him. Mr Nelson let out a deep breath and looked around, "Where is he? Did he go to the restroom?" He questioned at once and licked the seam of his lips, looking nervous. "He agreed to come. This is great news," he muttered."Sir, I apologize," Brian started, putting Mr Nelson's happiness to a stop. He lifted his brows with his gaze fixed on him as he waited for him to explain himself. Brian went on, "I didn't recognize him and I sent him out, thinking he came to the wrong place.""What do you mean by you sent him out?" He asked with his voice calm, but Brian knew it meant he was about to spit fire.

"It's just as I suspected," Damien said to the anxious family immediately as he walked back to the waiting room. Danielle and her mother stood up. "Will he be alright? I can't lose my husband."He let out a deep breath and answered, "We can only hope. I have discussed with the doctor who would be attending to him."Danielle's mother fell back to the chair, feeling downcast. They had hoped and prayed it wasn't something serious, but it turned out to be.She let her tears flow down her eyes, heartbroken and shattered. Damien felt his heart tighten seeing how broken she was. What was he expecting anyway? She's his wife."Don't worry, he will be fine," he comforted but that wasn't enough to mend her broken heart. Danielle drew closer and hugged her mother, trying to remain strong even though she was shattered deep down. They had been treating the wrong illness for a long time and that made his condition worse. Damien's phone rang out loud, distracting him. He excused himself and walked

Brian led Damien back to the hotel after he was able to convince him. Damien had another appointment, but the old man's health was deteriorating. Any further delay would cost his life.He took the elevator leading to Mr Nelson's office and when he got there, he found the young man pacing about."Mr Nelson, he is here," Brian informed, finally getting his boss to notice their presence.Nelson's eyes fell on Damien and looked at him from head to toe with his brows knitted together. "Are you Dr Damien?"Damien had seen Mr Nelson countlessly on TV, but seeing him physically for the first time, got goosebumps crawling all over his skin. Just as he was on social media and the internet, he was young and good-looking, having a stern look that gave the idea of how bossy he was. He was a business and serious-minded person and would do anything for profit. That was enough reason he was selected by his father to head the family's business. There was also one thing that got Damien intimidated b

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

Damien checked Mrs Legg's vitals for the third time and nodded in satisfaction. She had almost lost her life to a cardiac arrest, but they were able to revive her and her blood pressure was back to normal. He sighed deeply and handed the file to his nurse. "She is all better but would need a lot of rest and comfort," he said and the young lady nodded in response. Damien recalled what she said about people making things hard for her and he frowned. Were they making things for her because of the case? He couldn't come up with a conclusion, but in all, he felt disgusted at the people who dated and made her cry knowing she was going through a lot. He couldn't blame her for her accusations. "What can I do to make you see the truth? What would I do to make you feel even if it's just a little peace?" He wondered and sighed deeply. "Sir, what are you going to do when she wakes up?" Eric who had been standing behind him asked. He went on, "You know she despises this place and will surely

Regina's eyes went round as she stared at her sister, mute. She was sure Bianca knew something and that was why she was messing around with her. "Why… what … how could… how could… you think that…" she shuttered and swallowed hard, with her words hanging in her throat. She knew she was doomed. Bianca stared at her curiously but suddenly let out a deep breath and laughed. "Why would I even think you killed the young man? You can't hurt a fly physically. You are all talks but no action," she said and shook her head. Regina let out a deep breath of relief and lowered her head. It felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest, but luckily, her sister wasn't able to figure it out."Bianca, I think that is enough talk for today. I need to go before I miss my flight," she said and carried her bag out of the room. Bianca went after her and held back her hand. "Are you sure about this? You shouldn't leave yet until all these settled down."Regina rolled her eyes and faced her. "W

Bianca stared at her for a few minutes before she averted her gaze to the bags she held. "Where are you going to, Regina?" She asked. "Why do you care?" Regina asked, trying to hide the nervousness in her voice. "Why shouldn't I care? You are with your bags," she looked into the room and saw the emptied wardrobe. "You are leaving this house and you cared not to tell anyone. What is going on with you, Regina?"Regina rolled her eyes and gripped her bag tightly. "I am going on a vacation and I will be out for long. I am tired of everything going on. You, mother, father, and everyone been bewitched. It is killing me that no one is listening to me!" She answered and paused for a few seconds to see her sister's reaction, but got nothing. Her sister was staring at her emotionlessly like she didn't believe her. She went on, "I just need a break from all these. The sickness, the troubles, you all." Bianca stared at her for a few seconds before she let out a deep breath and leaned her shou
