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.

    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.

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.

    Sarah, Kyrian's daughter sat in her baby's nursery desperately trying to shush her from her screaming. She had already fed her twice but the child just kept on wailing at the top of her lungs. She had fired the baby's nanny a few days ago after she found out that she was having an affair with her husband. She had kicked him out of the house too and he had slept on the front porch for three nights in a row knocking and screaming and begging her to let him in. She promised to call the police each time his noise woke her up. It was probably the wedding contract she had made him sign before they got married that made him so desperate to win her back. He had signed away thirty to forty five percent of his business empire if they were ever to get divorced depending on the length of the marriage, currently she was eligible to take up to thirty nine percent of all he had without even lifting a finger.The affair had began from the night she hired the nanny and she didn't even know until she

    Gordon wiped his brow, the steam from the pots blurring his vision. The clatter of plates filled the small kitchen of St. Jude's Orphanage, a rhythmic echo of lives lived in shadows. He had just finished scrubbing a particularly stubborn pan when the sharp whistle pierced the air, cutting through the dull mood of the evening routine. Instinctively, he froze, the scrub brush still in his hand, unsure what was happening.“Come on, Gordon! We need to hurry!” shouted his roommate, Ethan, bursting through the door with a wild look in his eyes.“What....What’s going on?” Gordon asked, his heart pounding as he dropped the brush and followed Ethan into the hallway. The other boys were already racing past them down the hallway , they were laughter and shouts a mixture of excitement and anxiety which left Gordon more perplexed .“It’s a billionaire!” Ethan exclaimed, his voice barely above a whisper, yet it crackled with energy. “He’s coming to adopt a kid from the orphanage.

He didn't know what Leo was trying to hide his child from but he knew that it must be something or someone dangerous."I brought half your payment in full. My friend Hazel will be traveling with you and when you drop them she will get you the remaining half of the money" Leo said as he motioned to Hazel. "Where exactly an I going to drop them?" Jason asked Leo but he shook his head in reply. "I don't know. The only people who know are Hazel and James who chose the location. Hazel won't tell you the destination either until you are out of the country's airspace to avoid any sort of device picking up communication" Leo said a little bit paranoid but of course he was paranoid, if a deranged killer with a personal vendetta against you snuck into your house so easily with the sun if killing your wife, you'd be terribly paranoid."Alright then

    "What the fuck" Leo cursed as he stumbled out of his vehicle. He saw Hazel and Ross's vehicle reversing quickly and stopping a few feet away from the hitman's crashed car. They carefully stepped out while keeping their heads down. Leo got to the car them and forced the car door open. He took one good look at the half conscious hitman before reaching over and snatching the gun out of his hands"This moronic unprofessional is why you two were running over thirty minutes late?' Leo asked them with a slight smirk and they both laughed."You should have seen yourself when you realized we were being pursued. You practically made that turn like a formula 1 driver" Ross joked before he walked up to Leo and wrapped him in a hug. "Any one hurt on your side?" Leo asked with concern but they both shook their heads. "What of Helen and James?" Hazel asked a little worriedly but she smiled when she saw Helen helping James out of the car and waving at them."They're fine. We have to get out of her
