Phenomenal Alex Cole

Chapter 4 - Two headed snake

Thea adores her grandfather, Thor so much that she had spent most of her time looking for a cure for his sickness and she was willing to spend every dime on him.

But at that moment, for the first time in her life, she wishes that her grandfather doesn’t wake up. Well, that’s till Alex leaves the house. That means she would still hold the authority of the Walton’s family. 

He was acting like he wasn’t affected by her presence and it really hurt her pride. She was the goddess of war. He wasn’t aware that he was dealing with a tough person.

Instead of giving her a response, Alex rushed over to check the old man that was lying on the bed after he had noticed that his fingertips were white. He checked his pulse and muttered, “it is just as I thought, he has been poisoned by the two-headed snake.”

Thea’s forehead creased into a frown, ”My grandpa was poisoned? Does he really have poison in his system?”

“Yes, it is the most toxic poison that is currently in existence. If I had discovered this earlier, I would have been able to do something about it right away but it has been over six months since he has been poisoned, I am afraid curing him right now is far-fetched.”

“The medicine that can cure it is very scarce and difficult to acquire. It will take a lot of work to get it. Kudos to the doctors you have employed in the past, they must have  exhausted all their abilities trying to keep Lord Walton already but couldn't do anything about the poison. They are the reason he is not dead yet.”

She scoffed, “I had thought that you were just an ordinary doctor from the medicine village, little did i know that you are not just a doctor but a lunatic in a doctor’s form. I almost fell for your acting.”

Thea barely had any knowledge about medicine but she had reached out to the most famous doctors to come treat her grandfather but Alex stood before her to ridicule them by saying they had exhausted their power as if he was better than them.

Alex got up from Lord Walton’s side and dazed Thea. “I am aware that you do not see me as a potential healer for your grandfather but trust me I did not tell a lie about what is wrong with him.”

Thea could not hold but be marveled at the words that he spewed shameless. It was unmatched to the fools that bluff to her while she is on the battle ground.

“At least, you are now aware that my grandfather will not be able to do anything about the marriage contract since he can’t speak and the authority of this house now belongs to me, so as i said earlier, rip off the contract and let’s go back to our various worlds like we never met.”

Her tone was firm and obvious that she had made up her mind. She hates his guts and she wanted him to see her place as the war god of Mericania.

“I will look for the medicine within a month and return to treat Lord Walton.”

“Why do you want to come back here? I will hire better doctors than you to fix my grandpa if I can, so do not come here saying you want to treat him. I will not let you touch him and say the nonsense you were spewing about the two- headed snake.”

“Why not? It seems to me that you loved your grandpa, do you not want him to regain his health back?”

“Because of your bad intentions, you are trying to impress me so I can marry you.”

“I see that you are delusional, Miss Thea.”

“You are the delusional one that thinks that your lies can get to me, a mere village doctor diagnosing that my grandfather had been poisoned when many renowned doctors did not find the cause. I can see right through you.”

“I am doing this to treat your grandfather because he had helped my family and my master in the past, not because I want to marry you. I have to leave right now. As you can see it is quite late. I need to get to my destination to have a good night's rest.” he smiled at her.

“If you dare return here in a month’s time, i will show you why I am called the war god of Mericania,”

 Without giving her response, he got up, carried his little bag and left the Waltons residence.

Just then, thea’s phone rang and she picked her phone up at once, “Dr Norton, how may I help you?”

David Norton is the most famous Orthodox medical doctor in Mericania and he had ranked number one in the ranking of orthodox doctor for the past ten years and he was the doctor that has recently treated Lord Thor Walton.

“Ms Thea, I am calling to inform you about what you have discovered about your grandfather’s condition. I have reached out to retired medical doctors in my line of practice, I even went to the extent of reaching out to people I have cut ties with because Lord Walton's sickness was so peculiar and I finally got to the roots of it.”

Thea was filled with hope for her grandfather, she had been looking forward to when she would see him next and how up to him that she was now the War god of Mericania..

“Please, tell me what you found.”

“Lord Walton is not ill neither is he suffering from an unknown ailment. He is in a coma because he had been poisoned and it's not just any poison. He had been poisoned by the two headed snake. It is the most toxic poison in the world. It is really a miracle that he is alive right now.”

Her eyes glimmer with hope for her grandfather, “Please do anything in your power to heal him. I will pay you any amount that you ask for.” She said in a pleading tone.

David heaved a heavy sigh, “the poison has spent too long in Lord Walton’s body which has caused it to spread. I am afraid that there is not much assistance I would be able to offer to him. But I think..” he trailed off.

She was curious to know what he had to offer.

“what do you think of?” she asked.

"According to what I can remember, there is someone that can heal your grandfather, he is the divine doctor. His powers are said to have brought some back to life from the dead.”

Thea had heard tales and rumors about the divine doctor but she didn’t believe them to be true since he was nowhere to be found. Even the Healers card that people called the ticket to get to see him was nowhere to be bought or found.

“Doctor David, if you get in touch with this divine doctor, please let me know I will also start looking for him from my end! Thank you.” She said then she hung up.

Then she suddenly remembered that Alex had mentioned that her grandfather was poisoned by the two-headed snake.

She shrugged the thoughts off, “Scammers like him are usually lucky with their guess. It can’t be!”
