The CT scan started as Harrison was slid into a large donut-shaped machine called a gantry. The gantry emits a narrow beam of X-rays that rotates around his body, scanning it.As the X-rays passed through his body, they were detected by a series of detectors that were located on the other side of the gantry. The doctor paid attention as the machine started working while waiting to get a result from it. His eyes kept darting from the gantry down to a computer that would process the information and give out a result.Meanwhile, Whitman was escorted out of the unit so the doctor and others could have a proper time to examine Harrison properly. But then, Whitman stood outside watching through the wall that was made from glass.Meanwhile, the doctor kept on doing what he could to the best of his knowledge. The first thing he tried to check was if Harrison had a Brain turmoil. With all the blood dripping from his head and after he was blasted with a rod, the doctor could only come up with s
Back at Samson villa.“Days have passed and yet Grandmother is not picking up any of our calls. Don’t you think it’s time we visit her and talk things out?” Stephen said amidst the silence that enveloped the room.“How do we even do that when she threw us out? The guards in her house won’t even let us in. Don’t you remember what happened that day?” Linda reminded him, and once again silence reigned.Nobody said anything for a while. Their allowance had been cut off and even their salary. The money in their accounts was going down and if it kept on like this then the Samson family might go broke.Grandmother cut them off from the family business after what happened with Sterling Corporation. She told them that if they could bring anyone to secure a deal with them, then maybe they could get a chance.Rachel had done all her findings and no one was ready to come to her rescue after the show she put out the other day. Everyone was scared of being misled and ending up losing a big sum of mo
A man with an imposing presence walked into the villa with some other men walking behind him. The way he was classically dressed would leave anyone staring for a long period, assuming he was their dream model.He walked further in, and the guards couldn’t even look up his way or shut the door in his face. His presence alone told them he was someone of high importance.When Rachel saw him walking in, she couldn’t decipher the puzzle in her head. She felt locked in a daze for a while, staring, before she remembered what her daughter said.“You must be Edward, right?” She said with disgust creeping off her face. She stared at him from head to toe, absenting the fact that he was with some other bulky men who could run down the place in seconds.“Madam. I can see I am welcomed, right?” Edward said, trying to make himself comfortable amidst the heavy stares he was feeling on him.He wanted to approach Linda first, but it was only proper for him to go through her mom so he could win her favo
Everyone had their eyes pinned on every detail, waiting for what would unfold before their eyes. The seriousness on Edward's face wasn’t just convincing, but it made the air stiffen with tension.One of Edward's bodyguards ran out of the house towards the car and came back with a big box. Edward smiled after realizing he had gained all their attention.Now it was his moment! This would be when they take back their words and how they have degraded him since he stepped foot in there.“You think I am broke? You think I can’t partner with this family?” Edward snapped at Linda in particular and had her eyes pinned to his movements as he opened the box and brought out a stack of cash.“You see…” he started while flipping the bundle in the air, making the whole room hot.” you don’t judge anyone too easily” he added and untied the bundle then threw the cash at her face.She got hit by it but didn’t say a word. Her eyes pinned on every cash that was floating in the air until it settled down to
Linda stood like a statue, looking like life had been sucked out of her. Still trying to process the shock, it had become too hard for her to even think of what to say. All she did was watch how her mother was moving back and forth in frustration.“Damn it! If we don’t get this, we are done for!” Rachel was overwhelmed. Just when she had luck on her side, it slipped away. And right before her eyes, she was watching it slip away.But then, Edward was still in the vicinity. She could still see him reaching for the main gate as he walked fast as though his leg were a machine. Quickly, an idea popped into her head.“You!” She faced Linda. “You better chase after him and make sure you bring him back here or else, you and Stephen will leave this house!” She added, and Linda found a lump in her throat that made her breathing choke.Stephen also shivered. From the tone of her voice and the fire in her eyes, he could swear she meant every word she said. Knowing he was the cause of this and if
”Lay down on the floor, for you?” Linda stammered. Her eyes glinted in disgust for a brief moment as she spoke, making Edward raise a brow at her.His words must have caught her off guard and expectedly she didn’t look like she was going to accept. Just the kind of reaction he was expecting, and even more.“You don’t like it? You don’t like my condition?” Edward said with a taunting smile, and she nearly choked.However, she was able to read the situation and predict what might be going on in his head. But then she wasn’t worried about agreeing, but whether Stephen would be willing to do such a thing.In Edward’s words, he didn’t just emphasize laying on the floor only, he also mentioned ‘till he would be pleased.’ And that wasn’t something to be taken lightly.Would Stephen stoop so low, even if it was for the sake of the family? That was a puzzle to solve, and she wouldn’t even bother herself as that alone could be energy-draining.“Why are you not speaking up? Tell me,” Edward said
Stephen felt a big lump in his throat. He took a hard gulp, yet it wasn’t enough to push it down. The kind of heaviness he was feeling was beyond normal. If he had been told this would happen a long time ago, he could have sorted out a time machine to change the future.The way his mother and sister's eyes were glued to him was enough to make him want to push his pride down, but he had second thoughts about it after seeing that taunting smile on Edward’s face.“Time is a luxury. I don’t have much time to waste here,” Edward said, raising their curiosity as he then turned back but stopped halfway.“I lied about having two hundred million dollars. What I have is a billion. I was ready to play along just so I can reveal it later, but I see there is no need.” he added and wanted to peel Linda's arms off him, but she remained glued to him.His words sent waves of shock splashing on them and even Stephen, who was too stubborn to go down to the floor, was pushed to do so.He crouched down qu
“I am sorry, young master.” Ramon apologized quickly as he felt the gaze alone was making his knees weak. He didn’t even know what he was apologizing for, but he let it out to better the situation.However, Harrison didn’t seem affected by it. Rather, he stood up, raising the curiosity of everyone in the room as their chest thumped in fear.“Young-“ Lucas wanted to talk but cut himself off after Harrison shot him a cold stare.“On your knees!” Harrison suddenly growled, looking at Ramon. His tone was so cold and threatening that it stripped Ramon of his strength and left him dropping to the floor.Lucas and the other men read the situation and quickly kneeled too. Harrison was the only one left standing. He looked like he was going to whip them each.“You lied to me,” Harrison started, pacing around a bit. “You lied to me that my father is still alive?” Harrison grumbled.Hearing this, Ramon easily figured out that the information had slipped out. Just the one he wasn’t ready to let o
