Everyone was shocked at Leo's action and they all yelled in raw fear. Even the bodyguard who was stationed in the room pulled his gun and pointed it at Leo.
"What are you doing?!" the young Miss cried out in panic and slapped Leo's hand."Gentlemen, gentlemen, let's be civil about this," Leo said in mock surrender as he put his hands in the air. "I'm going to cure him, didn't you guys bring me here to cure him?""Cure him?" One of the doctors asked angrily, "Do you seriously expect us to believe that bullshit? Can you guys hear him?"Another doctor said, "He's trying to tell us that an unlicensed individual like him can cure an illness that professionals like us haven't been able to cure for weeks now. That's the biggest joke of the year."Leo gently put the knife down and shrugged, "It's not a big deal if you don't want me to treat him. But one thing that I'll assure you is that he doesn't have much time left."What's this dumbass talking about?" One of the female doctors said and chuckled sarcastically at Leo."Young mistress!" the assistant lead doctor cried out in exasperation, "where did you pick this fool from? He's a complete embodiment of ignorance! Imagine the audacity! How can he say that the boss, Mr Maxwell will die in a minute?"When her grandfather had told her to bring Leo, she had assumed that he was a very skilled medical practitioner but when she saw who he was, her hopes were dashed.She turned to face the doctors and was about to ask for suggestions on their next course of action when the flat liner started beeping rapidly. Her grandfather was suddenly plunged into a violent seizure.All the doctors quickly surrounded the old man and began to try every stabilization trick they had ever learned in their career."Check the oxygen tank!""Charge the defibrillator!""Check his pulse!""We have to stabilize him now!"They scurried around in panic as they tried to save the old man's life.The young Miss was devastated, she could only stand by and ask helplessly, "What's happening to him? Is he dying?""No, he's not dying," the head doctor reassured the young Miss, "it's just a minor crisis, he'll be fine."In a few minutes, they were able to stabilize the old man while Leo stood by and watched quietly.While they struggled to save the old man's life, the lead doctor didn't fail to throw a few glances of contempt in Leo's direction. He was indirectly trying to tell him that he could handle the old man perfectly.When the old man finally stabilized, the lead doctor beamed proudly and turned to Leo, “You can leave now”Leo shrugged in reply and was about to turn to leave when the flat liner started beeping again and the old man was thrust into another seizure, more violent than the first.The doctors were thrown into another fit of panic. They were confused, they didn't even know where to start treatment from. They had barely managed to stabilize him in the last seizure and now he was facing a worse one.The lead doctor couldn't believe his eyes at the rate at which the old man was flatlining. He didn't know where to start to stabilize the old man, he was still indecisive when the young Miss grabbed him by the collar and dealt a thunderous slap across his face."Young Miss!" he yelled as he held his cheek in shock, "What was that for?""I thought you said you've stabilized him," she ranted, "why then is he convulsing again?""I...I...I think it's the fault of that man you brought here," the lead doctor spat, "he must have come with some sort of infection that worsened...""Shut up!" the young miss cried out again and slapped the doctor across the face, "Stop trying to push the blame of your failures on others and own up to your mistakes. It's because of your incompetence that my grandfather is still suffering like this, if you can't do anything to save him then please save us the stress of sacking you and walk out of here yourself.""N..n..no need for sacking," the lead doctor chuckled nervously, "I can do this...""No you can't," Leo said as he squeezed himself in between the young miss and the lead doctor, "allow me to handle this."Without waiting for anyone to give him consent, Leo grabbed a scalpel from the table and thrust it into the chest of the old man.The moment the scalpel pierced the man's chest, he made a loud gasping noise and it was then that everyone in the room realized what Leo had done."Oh my God! What have you done?!" the lead doctor asked in pure despair and terror.The bodyguard who hadn't noticed Leo earlier suddenly tackled him to the ground and locked him in a chokehold.He began to tighten the chokehold on Leo's neck with a single motive- murder.Luckily for Leo, the young Miss quickly intervened before the guard could squeeze the life out of him."Wait, don't kill him yet," she said as she towered over them on the floor.Once she noticed that the guard's chokehold had loosened, she bent down and slapped Leo across the face.WHACK!Turning to the doctors, she said, "Someone please take out that scalpel before he dies."The doctors had been hesitant to remove the scalpel because they didn't want to complicate the old man's condition any further. When Leo noticed that the doctors wanted to remove the scalpel, he yel
Helen's face turned sour when she heard her grandfather call Leo's name.She had wanted to hug him when he woke up but now that he was mentioning the name of a man that she disliked, she frowned and kept her hands to herself."Why are you looking for Leonardo Dubois?" Helen asked irritatedly, "he almost killed you."If her grandfather was shocked by that statement, he didn't show it because his facial expression remained cold, devoid of emotions as he asked again, "Where is Leonardo Dubois?""Grandpa," Helen tried to speak softly but her voice betrayed her and dripped with thick irritation, "you don't need Leonardo Dubois, I've already called Mr. Greg."For the first time since he woke up, the old man's facial expression changed to a frown and he opened his mouth to say something. However, whatever he wanted to say was interrupted by the sudden entrance of a man into the room.SLAM!The door swung open with so much force and ferocity that it seemed like the door would fall out of its
"I need you to promise me that you'll marry my daughter, Helen."'What is this man talking about?' Leo asked himself, 'where did he get this hilarious idea of telling me to marry his daughter?'Before Leo could compose himself from the shock of Maxwell's request and give a response, Helen butted in with a hot-headed rejection."No! No way in hell Grandpa!" She cried, "There's no way I'm getting married to this man. That's not how things are done."As she spoke, she eyed Leo with contempt, Leo noticed the death glances that Helen was sending his way and he couldn't help but shake his head and think, 'The feeling is mutual.'He then turned to Maxwell, summoned his most polite voice and said. "I'm sorry sir, but I can't grant this request. It's beyond me."Leo could see the disappointment cloud Maxwell's face when he heard his response.‘What if I can help you to find out the truth about the death of your parents?’For years, Leo had no clue about this, how could he know it. He was abou
They all turned to see a fair, curvy, and beautiful woman walking towards them with her security around her.The woman was dressed in a suit for females which gave her a look of professionalism and smartness that complemented beautifully with her natural beauty. She had a perfectly symmetrical face with small pink lips, a pointed nose, and amber-brown eyes that betrayed the wisdom and experience of the owner. It was obvious that those eyes had seen a great many things in life. She was of average height and her curves were all in the right places in the right proportion. Her stature was so perfect that she looked like she was a model actor who was playing the role of a businesswoman.The air in the environment had suddenly changed at her arrival, everywhere was suddenly filled with tension and the security men all stopped what they were doing to hear her out. A lot of them didn't know who she was but they knew that she was an important person."Wait a minute..." One of the security men
Melissa drove her mother and her brother to the hospital with her secretary in the car.Throughout the journey to the hospital, all Agnes did was to threaten Leo and curse him endlessly."That failure of a man called Leo is going to pay for harming my son," Agnes seethed, "I don't care what it's going to take. I'm going to make sure he eats the dust for daring to lay a hand on my son."Melissa gnashed her teeth as she drove to the hospital. She was finding it difficult to believe that Leo was the one who harmed her brother. She had grown accustomed to knowing Leo as a peace loving and gentle person, she never believed that he would be able to do such a thing.While she was still thinking about the issue, her secretary jumped in on the issue."You know what?" He started, "I'm not surprised at all that he did this... He has always been a pretender and a liar. I'm only shocked that it has taken you this long to see through his facade of fake goodness."Melissa clenched her fingers tightl
The driver had stopped the car by the side of the road and had ran away, leaving a confused Leo and Helen in the car."What's happening?" Helen asked in bewilderment, there was also a hint of panic in her voice. She had never seen her driver just stop the car and run off into the dust before.Just as those words left Helen's lips, the sound of tires screeching on the asphalt filled the air and their car was suddenly obstructed by two black cars, one in front and one at the back.Before they could process what was happening, a dozen gangsters spilled out of the black cars and surrounded their car.The events that just unfolded felt like a bad dream to Leo, he couldn't believe that they had just landed into the net of blood thirsty gangsters. The man who led the gangsters was a tall light skinned man who looked muscular and fit. His head was bald and it was decorated with lots of vile tattoos, he looked scary and unpleasant.He was the one who jumped on the hood of the car and stared i
The lead gangster was initially confused but he quickly came to the conclusion that Leo was taking a bold move to come before him and beg.A wide, cocky smile appeared on his face but before he could open his mouth to utter any words, he received the greatest shock at that moment.POW!Leo had delivered a very powerful and precise punch to the lead gangster's face, and the punch was so powerful that the lead gangster could barely stand.All he could do was to clutch his nose in pain and stagger backwards while his thick red blood dripped from Leo's clenched fist.'What the hell?!' the lead gangster cursed in his thoughts, 'how dare he? How dare he lay a hand on me?! He's going to pay!!!?'The other gangsters had been terribly shocked by the scene that had transpired before them. They had never expected a man like Leo to be able to make their boss bleed, but he did it and they all stood there in shock, moping like morons till their leader turned to them and yelled vilely. "What do you
Leo's eyes widened immediately when he heard those words.Of everything he expected to hear from the young Miss, marriage was not one of them. He was shocked and as a result of that, he didn't know how to reply to her.A lot of thoughts were running in his head as he looked at her smiling sweetly at him while awaiting his response.'What's she thinking?' he asked himself, 'hasn't her grandfather asked me this same question? What does she want me to say now?.... That I don't want to marry her? I mean... Now that I think about it, marrying her is not a bad idea though... She's rich and pretty. Though I can't tell who's more beautiful between her and my ex-wife, I know for sure that her beauty is unique and makes her stand out...'Leo's thoughts rambled on and on while Helen stood quietly before him, still smiling.She noticed that her statement had made him uncomfortable and he was struggling with a reply. She burst out in laughter to offset the awkwardness and said, "Stop acting too s
