002: Dead In Regret

Dave panted as he opened his eyes. He was paralysed and was on a bed. A hospital bed.

He had oxygen over his nose that helped him breathe. Drips were on his body.

He was in a critical medical state. Almost at death's door.

He couldn't move any part of his body. He could only stare at the ceiling.

The memories of his wife sleeping with his friend came to him. He even recalled his wife telling his friend, Ray, to push him from the stairs .

He remembered the fact that he was in this critical state because of them.

Then the door opened as Jane and Ray walked in.

The two were shamelessly holding hands while staring at the pathetic Dave in bed.

Dave stared at them in fury. His breath became unsteady.

Jane and Ray could only smile as they looked at Dave.

"I never believed you'd survive that fall. I guess you're strong after all" Jane mocked.

"Even for a cripple, you're indeed strong my friend" Ray added .

Ray walked up to Dave and placed a hand over his head "How are you doing my friend?"

Dave couldn't talk. He was disgusted by Rays's hand on his head. He simply shakes his head to remove Ray's hands.

Ray removed his hands, laughing. At this point, A drip line has already fallen from Dave's sick body.

"You shouldn't be too moody. Smile a bit, it's good for your poor health" Jane said. "And maybe that would save your pathetic state"

Dave tried to talk but couldn't. He was paralyzed. His veins popped out, his skin was red and he looked furious.

Ray observed Dave "It seems your crippled husband doesn't seem happy with us. And he might need some explanations to clear him up. Since he's also so dumb"

Jane smiled "Really? Then..." Jane said as he kissed Ray deeply in front of Dave. It was a long and passionate kiss.

She looked at Dave in bed "You should know that I've been sleeping with your dear friend here. Since when? Maybe for years now... we've been a thing" She laughed.

Dave was stunned. He could only glare at them angrily but not talk.

"You look funny right now Dave" Ray laughed "Didn't you expect that you'd be cheated on?"

Ray continued "How can a useless crippled man like you expect your wife to stick with you alone? A beautiful lady like this can't be punished with spending her life with someone as useless as you!"

Jane smiled "Exactly" She walked up to Dave and grabbed his jaws "You are useless to me. Financially, I don't even need a pathetic cripple like you"

Jane continued "Can't you see that I'm already a successful lady? I'm the president of my family's company and I have lots of influences and power in the city!"

"My network keeps increasing daily.. so what makes you think I'll keep you forever?"

She laughed "You're a useless burden to me. A crippled man who can't contribute financially to me, not even romantically or so!"

"You're just an embarrassing burden I carry around. You only take up space in my life!"

Dave was shocked. He couldn't believe Jane would say such.

After all they have been through together. After all the help he had offered to help her to this position.

Even the fact that he became crippled because of her!

Dave never imagined this day would come. He could only stare at her in shock.

Ray came to hold Jane by the waist while staring at Dave. He said

"Your status is nothing commendable at all. Not to talk of your presence, you're just an embarrassing burden, so don't be too proud as a useless disabled"

Ray continued "You make it seem as if you're a toad trying to eat swan meat. Trying to climb the social ladder Shamelessly using Poor Jane.

"That's embarrassing enough. People like you do belong in the hospital!"

Dave could only stare at them in disbelief without talking. The two people he trusted the most. He never believed they'd say this.

Especially Ray who always encouraged him in his condition. He never believed he'd say such words to him.

"Well really, I do pity a pathetic fool like you who thought you had it all even in your useless state" Jane said

"I would have let you off ... But it's sad that you already know too much. A little bit too much" Jane added

Ray nodded "True. Letting you off easily would give you an opportunity to try exposing and fighting against us"

"And we don't want that. So we'll have to take preventive measures"

Jane folded her hands "Then I think we should go ahead and eliminate you. Don't you think so?"

Dave glared at Jane. He watched as she walked up to him and removed the oxygen over his nose.

Immediately, his breath began getting unsteady. He was struggling to breathe while shaking endlessly in bed.

The drip pins on his hands were all falling off and he was bleeding in bed.

Jane and Ray casually watched at the side, laughing.

"Too bad, he was somewhat a kind and sweet soul" Jane said "But was too naive. Useless, naive, poor and dumb"

Ray laughed as he casually said to Dave "In your next life, try not to be too dumb"

Ray said with a smile as he held Jane by the waist.

Both laughed, kissing and cuddling as they walked out of the room.

Dave lay in bed, shaking and struggling to breathe.

But it was impossible to survive now. He was slowly losing consciousness.

He died.

    Dave opened his eyes with a sharp gasp. The pain he was feeling was gone. Looking around him, all he could see was light. The place he was in was a plain white. He couldn't see anything else. He stared at his hands and at the familiar attire he was wearing. His plain attire. And then looked at his feet. He was standing on the plain light. Dave was shocked. He couldn't believe he was standing comfortably without any pain. He was confused. He guessed it could be a dream since he couldn't remember the last time he stood up like this. He was crippled after all. But then again, he could also remember the way he was killed by his wife and friend. Maybe He was dead and this may be the afterlife?

    Jay booked a room in the Top Hotel in the city. He and Jane lay in the same bed and under the same sheet while enjoying their victory. They both had a glass of wine in their hands. "With that eyesore out of the way, we can finally enjoy more time together like this. Isn't it nice?" Jane expressed. "It feels so good knowing that victory and freedom is finally ours. We don't have to hide from that scum again" Ray expressed as he asked. "So did you tell the doctor what to do?" Jane nodded "I already handled it. I paid the doctor a hefty sum of money to get him to get rid of the body" Jane added "Besides, the pathetic cripple has no one who cares about him, so no one will ask after him" Ray smiled "That's good to hear. Feels good knowing he's gone for good" he smiled, hugging Jane tightly and sipping his drink. Just then, Ray received a call. He picked his phone from his bedside and picked the call from one of the doctors in his hospital. "Quickly come here sir! We have

    Ms Anne was pacing around the door of the room. She was panicking and wondering if her brother would make it. She prayed he did. Just then the door burst open, James stormed out holding a male nurse by the collar. Ms Anne was confused "What's happening? What about my brother?" "This irresponsible nurse right here wants to kill your brother!" James snapped. Shocked and confused, Anne looked at him "What do you mean?" "His unprofessionalism made your brother's condition get worse! He couldn't even do a thing but rather made the condition worse!" Anne was speechless as she looked at the nurse. "Is this true?" She grabbed him by the collar "I swear if anything happens to my brother! I'll make you pay!" She yelled at him. The nurse couldn't speak for himself. He was of low rank so he could only let James use him to save himself. She looked at James "So what happens to my brother now? How's he? What will you do?" She questioned. "We'll... we'll continue working towards

"There's been tests and all and no sign of poison so...what do you mean?" Ms Anne calmly questioned. "I told you ma'am that this crippled here is a Swindler! How could you trust him? He has no medical qualifications. He is just spilling trash!" James continued "Poison? What a joke! A professional like me has checked the kid and nothing like that!" James said feeling proud of himself. He felt that this person was trying to steal his spot to get Ms Anne's attention. So he had to drive him out.

    Dave paused as he stared at the 1,000 coin pop-up information he got. He was surprised. He didn't expect that completing this mission would actually get him a reward. He was never told about it. He did it out of his will to help someone who was about to die, but he actually was rewarded. And it was a reward he was actually looking for. He simply wanted to use his skills. The hidden medical skills he had learnt and accumulated over the years. He wanted to put them in good use today as they came in handy. Who knew he'd also get rewarded for it? He smiled as he made his way into the elevator "This is great then. I suppose I can use this and get my legs fixed. I want you to open the option again and let me buy the option" he expressed. But the system didn't present the option to him. [Sorry, But the Store Option is Unavailable at the moment and can't be accessed!] Dave frowned "What? How is it closed when I need that at the moment?" He demanded. [Sorry, But the Store O

    But Ray brushed the idea off. Dave was dead! And he saw it with his own two eyes! So it was definitely not him! Ray knew Dave had some medical skills, some great skills. That was even one of the reasons he had made Dave work in his Hospital! He had sometimes stolen some of his medical insights and used it to his advantage. Exploiting Dave of his skills and getting the glory for it! He kept Dave low-key so no one would know him. Including James. So he could easily use him and his skills to gain his glory. But still he doubted that it was Dave. He was dead after all. "So what are we going to do about that strange man? Should I look into him and crush him for what he's done to us?" James inquired. "Because of him, we're now scumbags in front of Ms Anne. And I doubt we'll ever get on her good side!" James added. Ray thought "I guess. Look into this guy and get me information when you find anything" "Sure" James agreed. Of course he was going to find this bastard that cam

What do you want?" "Get out of the car now!" One of them snapped. The man seemed to be the leader and had a scar on his face. "What do you want?" She demanded from them. "You should give up attending the Charity Gala event this instant" one of the men snapped from the side. Anne heard what the person had said and instantly felt that these were being people sent by her competitor. She believed it was their tactic of stopping her from attending and participating. That instant, she wanted to call on some guards for backup but she knew it'd be too late. Before she'd get a backup it would have been too late. At that time the Leader of the Gang was about to smash the window Open. It was certainly going to hurt Anne inside, but he didn't seem to care. "Alright! I won't be attending the Gala anymore!

As soon as Anne came down from the car, she helped Dave down. Dave rolled his wheelchair while following her in. She was his host after all, so he had to be close by since he had no tickets. As soon as Anne arrived, she was massively welcomed by different people. Dave simply stayed aside as he watched people approach her and warmly welcome here as though she was the host of the event. She too warmly thanked them as well. She had taken her time exchanging pleasantries with each one of them. Some had even asked who Dave was and if he was there with him. She had casually replied "Yeah, he's a special guest of mine" ******* When she was done with everyone who had approached her, Dave said to her with a smile "You really do have lots of admirers around" He teased.
