Arriving at the hospital, Linda hastily walked towards the biller who was standing on the other side of the counter just around the entrance of the hospital. She was a young lady with exquisite features. Just the type of beauty to welcome anyone who walked into the place.Rachel was following behind her, dumbfounded. She wanted to ask how Linda got the money but decided to keep it to herself and watch what would happen.“Here is my card. I want to pay my grandmother's bill.” Linda pushed her card down to her, but the biller looked at her with disgust in my eyes.“You have another fake card with you, don’t you?” She replied sarcastically. Days ago, Linda had come in to pay the bills but when the biller checked, she saw the card was empty with no single cash in it.It became as though Linda intended to scam the hospital and her face was printed as a bad image to the biller. Even now, the look of disgust on her face was evident.“What did you say?” Linda grumbled at her. If she hadn’t had
At that moment, Linda knew the old woman was going to eat her up if she didn't bring something up to back up her words. Already, Grandmother had forcefully pulled herself from the IV drip which was more disturbing and if this was to drag on, then her mental health would be on the line too.“I have made us some money,” Linda said quickly but the woman didn’t move. She was still staring at her with a stone-cold gaze that meant ‘not enough’.“Look,” Linda said and brought out the platinum card as it was the only way to save herself. Everyone knew how much that card was worth, and it would certainly lighten her mood. She was sure of it.“A platinum card?” Rachel was the one who said, taking the words out of Grandmother’s mouth. She looked startled and was slowly able to connect everything in her head. Now she knew where Linda got the courage from and was able to pay the bills but then what was bothering them was where she got the card from.They were all penniless, and it wasn’t like Lin
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
