Damien proceeded to read the comments, which were mostly in his favor. He had thought the post would cause another drama and he would have to deal with the new person, but surprisingly, many were supporting him.

"Did my fate take a new turn?" He questioned, and the corners of his lips lifted at the sudden turn of events.

Another message came in and when he tapped on it, his smile broadened. A message from Eleanor. He glanced through it, picked up his car key, and left.

Regina kept tossing around her bed, reading the comments on the recent post concerning her sudden back away.

A larger amount of commenters were all commending Damien and only a few were questioning why she suddenly deleted the post.

She flung her phone and rolled on her bed. "This is a nightmare," she grunted and moved her hair backward.

Everyone was in support of Damien and they weren't ready to see the truth. That got her pissed off, but there was nothing she could do.

She pulled her hair but suddenly felt a sharp p

    Regina examined him from head to toe and scrunched her nose. "No matter what you do, you can never deceive me with this act of yours posing to be a doctor when you are nothing.""Regina, I have an important place to go right now and I don't have all night for this. So if you will excuse me, can you leave my way," he said and she laughed out loud."Your way? I can stand anywhere I want to in this pharmacy. It doesn't belong to you, so you should leave my way."Damien rolled his tongue and decided to move instead. She wasn't going to and would rather cause a scene.He took a step forward but she took a step closer and he bumped into her. She screamed out, attracting attention to them."Are you trying to assault me publicly?" She questioned, and looked at the people gathered. "Are you all videoing this? He tried to assault me!""Regina, you are the one causing a scene for yourself. It was so obvious you stood in my way," he said and drew back. "Stop trying so hard to bring me that. I let

    Damien drew his lips into a thin line, thinking about what could have brought Mr Benson to his hospital as they never talked about it neither did he inform him of his sudden arrival.He entered the hospital and went up to his office on the last floor. He pushed the door open and went in.Mr. Benson and the other guest were both waiting patiently and when they saw him, their faces lightened up."I apologize for keeping you waiting," he said immediately he shut the door behind him."You don't have to. We came unannounced," Mr. Benson answered and pointed, "This is Mr. Wilson, a business partner of mine. He told me he heard a lot about the Williams Hospital and he has been dying to see the young man behind its success," he introduced and Mr Wilson nodded in agreement."Hearing about you from people piqued my curiosity. I wanted to meet you but didn't know how. Thanks to my friend who told me he knew you," he added to what Mr Benson said. "It is my pleasure to meet you."Damien tensed mus

    Bianca and her mother stared at Regina in awe. Even though she was sick, she still hated Damien so much.Mrs Calloway drew her brows and stepped forward. "We have heard so many people talk about him and how he was able to treat them. He might know what is wrong with you," she pointed out but Regina scoffed and rested back against the bedstead."I would rather be dead than let him treat me. Besides, Dr Ben might be the dumb one here," she responded with spite lacing her voice. "I will meet other doctors. One of them would have an idea. But it wouldn't be Damien," she added and laid back on the bed."Alright, I will get your father to fix an appointment with as many doctors as we can," Mrs Calloway answered, respecting her decision. "I want you to get back to your feet as soon as possible and I don't mind using up everything I have."Regina clenched the sheet tight and shut her eyes. What if the doctors can't diagnose what is wrong with me? She wondered and her heart thumped at the thou

    Damien drew his brows together and was about to speak, but got interrupted when his phone rang. He ignored her and picked it up."Sir, your attention is needed at the hospital," the doctor said, and Damien sighed deeply.He had just returned from a trip and he got an emergency call. He looked at Mrs Calloway who was waiting patiently and answered, "I will be there as soon as possible."No matter how tired he was, he preferred attending to a patient than speaking to her.He left his unfinished food and stood up. "I have someone important to meet right now," he said and she sighed in disappointment."Why don't we meet some other time?"He clicked his tongue and looked at his wristwatch, "I am a busy man. I can't guarantee a free day. If we meet again, then it's by chance. Right now, I need to leave," he answered and walked away, grateful she wasn't anywhere near him any longer.He walked back to his car and Eric raised a brow. "Are you done eating so quickly?""My mealtime got interrupt

    Mrs Calloway laughed cheekily and walked in completely. She went on to say, "I wanted to get him to come here and treat Regina, let's see how good he is as everyone claims.""Never call that name here. There is no way I am letting Damien treat me. Get that over with, mother!" She snapped, causing Mrs. Calloway to roll her eyes."Why are you being stubborn, Regina?""We have other good doctors. Damien is not the only one, besides, I have two doctors that would be attending to me," she answered and laid back on the bed, ignoring her mother.Mrs Calloway rolled her eyes, seeing how stubborn she was. She let out a deep breath and glanced at Bianca, who wasn't saying a word. Giving up, she walked out of the room.Bianca let out a deep breath and checked her phone. "The doctor is here," she announced and walked out of the room to go lead her in.In less than five minutes, they were back in the room."That's her," Bianca muttered, pointing at Regina. "This has been going on for weeks and we

    Damien hurried out and checked the girl's pulse. He breathed in relief and started performing CPR. "Call the ambulance," he instructed and Eric immediately did as he was told.The girl finally jerked back to life and began to cry."Thank goodness," Damien muttered as relief seeped through him. He held the scared girl's hand and assured her, "You will be alright."The girl didn't stop crying until the ambulance came. After explaining what had happened to her, she was wheeled in."I will go with them, sir. The driver will take you to your apartment," Eric said and entered the van with her.Damien watched as they drove away and when it was out of sight, the driver walked to him."Sir, we need to leave. This road is dangerous at night," he said and Damien nodded.He looked towards the direction of the van again before he went to his car and left.…Regina coughed out and she shut her eyes immediately as pain seeped through her. She held her chest and cried, "That hurt,""Doctor, nothing s

    Regina fixed her gaze on the wall, lost in thought. She knew she was going to die as there was no way to get her treated.She overheard the doctor talking about her sickness being critical and rare. There was no solution to it.Tears rolled down her eyes but she was too weak to wipe it off. Bianca hadn't checked up on her, and she knew she was probably crying her eyes out somewhere.'This is how my end would be?' she wondered as more tears flowed down her eyes.The door was opened slowly and Bianca peeped in. Seeing she was awake, she slowly walked in with a smile which Regina knew was fake, and shut the door behind her."How are you doing now?" She questioned and walked closer. "The doctor said you will be discharged soon. He prescribed some medicines and said you will be alright. He finally found a solution to it," she lied and that made Regina smirk."You don't have to lie, sis. I know I am dying," she answered, trying to act nonchalant. "I overheard the doctor speaking to a nurse

    The nurse quickly took a glance at her and answered politely, "The doctor is busy right now. You have to wait or come back tomorrow. He has many patients waiting for him," she went back to typing on her computer.Regina looked back and noticed the people waiting. They were over twenty and that made her frown. She couldn't wait until the last person.She faced the nurse again and said, "But I need to see him now. I am in a critical condition and he is the only one who can help me."The nurse took her gaze away from the computer and looked at her. "Everyone waiting for him always has critical conditions that require urgent treatment. Other doctors are available to attend to you.""They can't treat me.""Ma'am, Dr Damien is busy. You either wait or you let other doctors treat you," she laid out the options for her and went back to typing on her computer.Regina let out a deep breath and thought of what to do. An idea came to her and she faced the Nurse again."Can you please tell him Reg

    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

    Eleanor walked closer and folded her arms beneath her bosoms. "This will a big evidence to clear your name. You were with Charlotte and both of us can testify in court," she clapped her hands. "We have CCTV cameras. The footage of that night would be a big piece of evidence for you.""You are right. I was worried the scandal would rise again," he answered and she nodded in response. "It will, but as long as we come up with a way to clear your name, the scandal will be handled later," she said and let out a deep breath. "Why didn't we think of this before?""Let me finish this call and we talk about it," he said and moved away while she went back in. "Mike, are you still on?" He asked and got a hum on the other end. "Of course. I overheard everything. There is hope for this case. If we can get the evidence you were with the ladies, that would clear your name easily," he said. "Why don't you come over let's talk about this. I got something you will be interested in.""Alright. I will

    Damien walked into a VIP's room with his hands in his pocket and his eyes fixed on the lady sitting on the bed. He got closer and stared at her without saying a word. "Are you going to keep staring at me? What do you want to say? Just say y now or forever hold your peace," she said with a frown plastered on her face. "What do you think I want to say?" He asked and folded his arms, waiting for an answer. Charlotte smirked and answered, "You can't be cool with everything that happened. I caused a lot of trouble for you and in the end, I still had to rely on you. There would be so much for you to say.""Caused trouble? Yes, you did, but it was never your fault. All you have to do is focus on recovering your body. Even though you are fine now, you need to relax and not think about that. We can talk about it when you are fully recovered," he said and scoffed. "I know I am to rest. You are not the one to tell me what to do." She rolled her eyes and laid back. "I will get better as soon

    "Damien?" Mike called from inside. Damien looked at his wristwatch and sighed deeply. He had just a few minutes to get to his meeting with his lawyers. "Yes Mike, it's me," he answered.It took a few minutes before Mike opened the door, smiling nervously. "Williams, what are you doing here this time?"Damien drew his brows, not expecting his question. "Are you busy?" He asked and peeped in. "Or is there someone in there?" Mike glanced over his shoulder and averted his gaze back to Damien. "There is no one in there. Come in," he said and opened the door wide enough. "I guess you have something important to tell me."Damien looked around the office in suspicion, but he found no one. He wondered why Mike looked so tense if there was nobody in the office, but his thought was cut off when Mike said, "Would you like coffee? I mean, this is your first time in my office."Damien drew his brows together, wondering why he was so nice to him. Mike was always the guy who hated acting nice and w

    Mike stared at her for a few minutes, still taken aback by the sudden barge in and her words. He let out a deep breath and leaned back against his seat. "You want to ruin him?" He asked with his brows furrowed. Regina quickly nodded and sat down before him. "I am tired of that man. He has succeeded in bewitching my family and now, they can't even think straight," she answered, scowling deeply. Mike let out a deep breath and folded his arms against his chest. "I thought you never wanted to see me.""I didn't come here for you to say that to me. Just help me out and I will pay you any amount you want. Name your price.""Still as rude as ever," he muttered and drew closer. "Damien met with me a few days ago and he said I should investigate you," he said, staring at her intently. Damien didn't suspect Regina. He was in denial that she would go that far in killing anyone. But deep down Mike's heart, he knew Regina had something to do with it. She was desperate.Regina's eyes went round

    Bianca furrowed her brows in concern, wondering what had happened at home. She looked at the patient's guardian and said, "Please excuse me."She walked out of the ward and called Regina's number but she didn't pick up. Her heart picked up a fast race as she thought of what might have happened to her. Their last encounter before she left didn't end well. She remembered going back to Regina's room to get her purse which she left behind and heard her say something about been doomed. She walked in and saw how shocked Regina was. She got suspicious, wondering if she was scared because she said Damien had a lead. "What is going on? Why are you doomed?" She asked."Doomed? I never said that," she argued and tried to smile, but Bianca wasn't foolish. She knew she forced it."I clearly heard you say it. Why are you doomed? Because I said Damien had a lead that would prove he is not guilty?" Bianca went on to ask, staring at sister intently."Well, that's not it. The truth is, I wanted to u

    Bianca walked into a patient's room who was getting fed by his wife. They both had their attention on her when she opened the door. She walked in and smiled warmly at them. "I see you are busy. I apologize for coming in now," she said."Who are you?" The woman asked, with no memory of seeing her before. "I am Bianca Calloway, a friend of Dr Damien," she introduced and went on. "I know this is too much to ask, but I need your help."The couple both glanced at each other, wondering what kind of help she needed from them. They had no idea who she was. "As long as it's something we can help with, we will gladly help you. We are done eating anyway," the wife answered. Bianca nodded and sat down. "It's about the ongoing case of the patient's death. I am sure you have heard of it," she started and they nodded in response. "Too bad a good doctor like him has to go through all these," the wife said feeling pity for him. She let out a deep breath and looked at Bianca. "By the way, I am Lis

    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.
