“What?” Rachel and Linda gasped in shock, staring at the woman, expecting her to take back her words, but she didn't look like it. Rather, she looked as though if she was being asked to defend what she just said, she would do it with a full chest.“Is it okay if I come with you?” Grandmother said as carefully as she could, as she couldn't read Harrison’s expression. The latter was shocked, but his expression told her more. He was in a place to reject her offer, and she was sure of it.However, she didn't know the reason that drove her to the sudden urge of wanting to follow him. But she knew if she stayed with these people she called family she would either die sooner or later.“Is that what you want?” Harrison replied. He had no grudges against her, even though she had done him wrong. He had a soft spot for her because she was old and had a few years to live. If not for that fact, he wouldn't even bat an eye when she called out to him.“Yes, please. Yes, I want to come with you.” The
Arriving at an eight-star hospital, Harrison took Grandmother in his arms and ran into the hospital. Her weight was nothing to him as held her and was running as though he wasn't carrying anything.The woman's condition turned worse all of a sudden and he feared she might not make it, so he had to drive fast to the hospital.“Just try to breathe. I will get you to the doctor.” He assured her as he then pushed the door to the entrance so hard that a crisp sound echoed around the place. It was as though the door would be ripped off its hinges, but then it only flung open and Harrison walked in with the old woman.Quickly the nurses who saw this pushed a stretcher towards him, and he dropped her gently on it. “Take care of her, please.” He pleaded with the nurses, looking nervous as he also helped them push the stretcher heading towards a ward.“Don't worry sir. She will be in good hands.” The nurses assured him and soon after they arrived at a ward, they took over and left him outside.
Their eyes glinted with curiosity as they turned to look at the machine that just made a beep sound. They could see a sign signifying there was a pulse. The line was moving slowly, and the beep sound echoed again.Beep!This time the pulse increased from just a beep to two, and then there was more. The machine gave a reading and everyone stared at each other, dumbfounded. The woman was now breathing compared to before, and it felt like a miracle just happened.“Is she alive?” Harrison's eyes widened as he thought his senses were playing tricks on him and wanted someone to snap him back to reality or tell him that what he was seeing was true. His body kept vibrating until the doctor held his hand.“Sir, I think you have performed a miracle!” The man smiled as he grabbed his shoulder and kept jerking Harrison continuously with a smile that couldn't fade away on his face.Just now he was doing the opposite of what he was doing, choking Harrison violently, but now he was praising him che
“My husband, Francis, has been so greedy, especially in times of trying to acquire wealth. Caroline's parents were his best friends, yet he plotted to take over their company. I tried to stop him. I tried to talk some sense into his head, but he never listened to me.” Grandmother explained, and he could feel the truth in her words.Also, there was a fact that she wouldn't think of lying to cover things up when she knew he could find out just like how he found out the secret in the first place.“I apologize for what he did. Maybe I should have reported him back then, but I didn't have an option. Ooh, what am I even saying?” She paused as she realized if she kept on talking, it wouldn't lead anywhere. She wasn't making sense. Why try to make herself look righteous when it was done already? “I apologize for all the trouble my family has caused you.” She said instead and Harrison sighed.She wasn't making sense at first but even at that, he allowed her to vent all that was on her chest u
“Don't insult her like that?” Caroline said and there was a shade of anger occupying the upper side of her face giving her a terrifying appearance.“After what she had done to me? Humiliated me in front of everyone. She made me look dumb when she refused to give me those shares at that time and the worst of it was that she also knew the truth about my parents, yet she never said anything!” Caroline grumbled harder.She was shocked to see Harrison had changed from how he used to be. Wasn't he the one who said he was going to get justice for her? Though he did, she didn't expect him to welcome those who were considered enemies.Hearing all this, Grandmother didn't even try to say anything, as she knew she was guilty. As Caroline said those words, everything refreshed back in her head and she felt a needle in her heart.“Caroline, you have to cool down. We can talk this out.” Harrison gestured for her to take a deep breath to calm herself. He expected her to be angry, but not to this poi
“What do you mean by that? Who am I?” Caroline asked, looking shocked by his sudden question after he narrowed his eyes at her.“I said, who are you?” Harrison was firm and vigilant. This woman here looked like his wife, but he was sure she wasn’t his wife. As her husband, he knew her better than anyone since they shared the same home for years.All the attitude, all the rage, all the yelling didn’t sound like what his wife would do. It made him begin to think something was wrong somewhere.“What are you saying, Harrison? Isn’t that Caroline?” Grandmother stepped in, and she couldn’t understand what Harrison was saying. As she could see, it was Caroline who was standing there, but Harrison was saying something different.“Think about it. Have you ever seen Caroline behave in such a way?” Harrison looked at grandmother as he said, and the woman mulled over her thoughts.She felt Harrison was right but then people change. With all the pain, Caroline had gone through, it was expected tha
“What did you just do?” Harrison turned towards her, grumbling. His eyes turned red as he sparked. His aura filled the air with killing intent, and he looked like a bomb that would soon explode.“I did what I have got to do!” Rose replied with a smirk, swinging the gun in the air. She knew he had mad skills and was careful to not drop the gun. Since she had it, she had the upper hand here. Even with his fighting skills, there was no way he would be able to cover the distance between them before she could shoot him.“Ahhhh!” Harrison rushed to the woman to check her pulse just so he could know if she was still alive or maybe if she could be saved, but there was nothing. Her body was slumped to the floor and had no life in it.Realizing there was no way he could save her, he stood up, clasping his hand tight as he faced Rose.“You will pay for what you have done!” He wanted to lunge at her, but she pointed the gun at him, and he was forced to stop.“Careful!” She warned smirking, and he
The sound of gunshots filled the place, but then a metal collision also occurred. Rose's eyes widened in shock as she expected to put bullet holes in Harrison, but rather what was before her was the steeled bed.Right before she pulled the trigger, Harrison dragged the bed towards his way and shoved it in front to serve as a shield. The bullet came in contact with the bed instead and made a kind of deafening sound.“Stop acting like a rat. Come and face me!” She yelled, but he didn’t move from where he was. “Are you scared of me now? I thought you were someone fearless but guess I was wrong. You are just the trashy son-in-law you have been all those years!” She added intending to rile him up into giving himself out, but then he was no fool to know what she was intending to do.Seeing he wasn’t coming out, she could have approached him but for fear of being attacked, she didn't.“You asshole!” She sneered and kept firing at the bed continuously.“That’s enough!” Harrison said with his
