Once again, Linda could feel the heat in the room. Her family was having a clash and what side was she supposed to choose? Already she knew there was no amount of words she could say to make both parties reconcile. She had to pick a side, and that should be immediately.“Let’s go!” Rachel called out to Linda. She was ready to leave since the old woman said so. After all, she did point out the truth and was never sorry for what she had said. Moreover, if she was asked to point out more, she would be ready to do so.“Mom… I…” Linda stammered, not knowing what to do. If she followed Rachel that would mean she was abandoning her grandmother, but then if she stayed with Grandmother it would also seem like she was abandoning her mother. It was too complicated for her.Just then she took a glance at Grandmother hoping to see if the woman wanted her to stay, but then the old woman didn’t even pay attention to both of them.Crack!The door was slightly pulled open, drawing all their attention t
Everyone’s eyes looked like they would bulge out of their socket as they watched who just walked in. He had a smirk on his face that was disturbing and had alerted everyone that he must have known what was going on. If not, why the sudden appearance? Why was he here in the hospital all of a sudden? “What are you doing here? What do you want this time around?” Rachel ran towards him looking like she would claw at his face but rather he was calm when he watched her.But then his calm expression told her something different. He felt untouchable and if she was to touch him, it felt like her hands would burn off.“Easy, I am here for a different purpose,” Harrison said after a while. He usually enjoyed seeing the kind of expression on their faces. It gave him so much delight in his chest when he knew they were so angry and unlike before, touching him was impossible for him.“Look here,” he ignored them to face Stephen as his expression turned cold. “I see the mess you have created and for
Immediately after Harrison heard those words from Draco's mouth, he instantly shoved Stephen off the way just so he could pay close attention.He didn't expect them to give in easily. He had wanted to instill more fear in Draco after he had done such a background check about Chen. Chen was someone high in the gangster world that even Draco must fear. If Chen was in a cell, there was no way Draco would choose to walk free when he knew what would be waiting for him.All these are mere predictions, Harrison was certain he was right.“Speak up now!” He indulged him and quickly Draco took a hard gulp before speaking.“Stephen here… offered to give us two hundred thousand dollars if we wrecked the goods up. We have done it, but he ran away before paying us!” Draco explained briefly and a wave of shock splashed on everyone, even Harrison himself as he was able to hear the full detail.“Shut up! I didn't do that!” Stephen fought his way back to his feet, looking nervous as he spoke, but then h
“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
