Alex has traced a place he knew by memory in an area not so far from the Waltons Estate. Though the Waltons estate has changed because of the development, the areas around it still retained its old features so I could tell that I wasn’t in the wrong place.

He was standing in front of his Uncle, Victor Miller's house. Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, his phone rang, and he picked up,

“Hello?”

“Hello, Divine doctor, I am David bourne. the one that received your number after showing you the healer’s card that your sister had given me. I am calling to ask if you can come and check up on my daughter right now. She is in a critical condition, she is unable to breathe properly.”

"It is late now and it will be hard to find a taxi, send a car to the location I will send to you over a text.” he replied to him.

“Okay sir. But my wife happened to bring an orthodox doctor here and he claimed that he can stabilize my daughter’s breathing only that she will not be able to walk again.”

“I am a bit skeptical about letting him go on with the treatment because I want my daughter to be able to use her legs.”

Alex replied to him in a strict tone, “Send him away from your house if you want your daughter to live the rest of her life in a wheelchair.”

Then he hung up right away and rang the doorbell, a woman showed up in front of him and looked at him with disdain, just like Thea and done, she went ahead to scan him from head to toe. “You are the wrong address.”

“Er ma’am, I am here to see Uncle Miller,” he said.

Victor Miller used to be a poor man who his father helped before he passed away. He gave Miller a million dollars to fund his business which later became a big thing.

“Uncle Miller?” The woman repeated after him confusedly. “What could pauper possibly look for from my husband addressing him after he is close to him, calling him Uncle Miller? Who are you?”

Alex has never met Miller’s wife or kids, so it was impossible for them to recognize him at all. “Uncle Miller is my late father’s friend and I have come to see him.”

“You're so unbelievable, who comes to see his uncle at this time of the day without calling first and we do not have any poor friends. All my husbands and their children are all classy people.” She scanned his appearance from head to toe again, “I will say this again, you look nothing like someone my husband knows.”

Alex was beyond surprise, he wondered if classism was a general thing in Mericania because everyone kept bragging about the little they had as if they owned the whole world. How could she tell if she knew her husband just from us taking a look at him.

“Ma’am. Your husband was my father’s friend and he knows me. You don’t have to let me directly. Just tell him that Alex Cole is here for him.” He explained but it only fueled her doubt.

“I am quite familiar with your games, are you trying to distract me so that your group members have come to steal from us?”

“I’m not here to steal from you. Uncle Miller can testify to my identity when he sees me.”

“If my husband truly knew you, how about you give him a call?”

He heaved a heaven sigh as he was already exhausted. He opened his back and searched for his little pocket notes that he usually carried about but he didn’t find it there.

Alex didn't have Vcicot Miller’s phone number saved on his phone but he had written it alongside important things in his pocket note but now he could find it.

This woman would definitely think he waa a little even if he tried to explain to her. He had nowhere else to say, he wanted to even settle there before going to Bourne’s house to treat his daughter.

Miller’ wife who was already tired of standing by the door and eating for a non-existent proof , “Please leave before I call the police on you and I will make sure they take you to the part of the prison where you people will never see you before. You big thief.” She warned.

“Leave now!”

“But ma’am.” Alex was about defending himself when Viciot Miller walked to the door.

“What is going on?” he asked his wife, then he peeped outside and  saw Alex standing by the door. “Oh, Alex  Cole? Is that really you?

Alex nodded in agreement.”

“Please come in.” Victor Miller ushered him in immediately.

You look like you are my Older brother now.”Victor Miller got emotional and his eyes were filled with tears. He could not believe that Alex Cole, his friend's son, was standing in front of him. “I have been looking for you. I am glad God listened to my prayers and sent you my way.” he rubbed Alex’s shoulders before pulling him for a hug. He pulled him into the main lounge in his mansion. Victor Miller had spent a lot of money modernizing his home.“Molly, Rena!” He called his wife and his daughter, “We have an important guest.”As they got to the main lounge, Molly was standing there, watching the TV, just in her bathrobe.

Alex understood why Donald was the richest man in the city. His house was fully decorated with gold, the exteriors obviously cost millions of dollars but the inheritors cost two times more.“Doctor, you are here!” Donald’s face lit up as soon as he saw Alex.

He had told his wife to let the doctor she had brought go so that he would make their daughter cripple but she was crying begging that he stay till the divine doctor that he called arrived.Mr Bourne was also standing by the door.

The person he wanted it to be was Alex.“I cannot say till we all see it but be rest assured that since I am here, your daughter cannot pass away,” Alex assured him, “But there is a condition, you will have to get me the White Snake Flower.”“I will get you anything you want as long as you save my daughter’s life. If you want hundreds of them, I’m willing to give you.”Alex laughed knowing that Donald doesn’t know how rare the White snake flower is. It’s impossible to find one, not to speak of ten.Dr Norton scoffed in his mind, “He dare ask for that rare herb? Such a thief.

We both know that my grandfather doesn’t have much time. I need to find this man as fast as I can. No matter what it takes.” Thea said she could barely mask her desperation any more.“I met this young man at the Bourne’s mansion when I was about to treat their daughter. We had a little conflict so I wasn’t able to get his contact or even get his personal information.” He said in a small voice.Thea immediately understood what Dr Norton said. She understood that the top orthodox doctor in Mericania would not believe that there was someone better than him.“Thank you, Dr David. I will try to contact the Bournes about it.”Though the doctor was young, he was able to treat the Bourne’s young daughter that Norton wasn’t able to heal.

    Thea sighed in relief. She had thought for a moment that Alex was some secret powerful healer or highly skilled medical practitioner..If that was how it turned out, she wasn't sure how she would have felt about it. Anyway, his secret was out.Being a martial arts master herself, she understood what kelvin had said and affected his wife. “It is no surprise that your wife had struggled with her illness for about two years, you guys have been taking the wrong path over the time that you have been seeking a cure.”“It is indeed something that a novice will not be able to treat. Only Martial artists or Masters would be able to handle it.”Kelvin nodded in agreement with her, “I didn't expect that Mr Cole would be a martial arts master at his age and yet he is not even recognised in Trim city, even if the whole town is Mericania.”Martial arts masters are quite easy to spot in Mericania as long as they showed their skills. They are also quick to get hours to their name because of their e

What should I do about you?”He didn't yell at Alex but he was focused on his son who had managed to make such a terrific mistake of picking the wrong person when his mother was in need of good treatment urgently.Killian faced his father and kept his chin up, “I did not pick up the wrong person. I am so sure that I got the description of who you had given me. The Divine healer could not make himself here so he had to send Alex to come in his place so that he could treat mom.”Before Killain could continue to speak his defense, Alex walked to him, “Where is the healer's Card?”Killain’s eye met with Alex when he demanded for the card, for some reason, his eyes looked different for it radiated this domineering and commanding presence, though he had not sensed it before but

If Alex was there it only means that thinks he's the Healer.That could not be, for Alex is a young guy and the history and rumors about the Divine healer had alway mentioned how they had been alive for so many years, for they had been around for decades.Many of them have grey hair and grey beards. But he didn’t match up with that description of the timeline.Gomez was always wearing a look of disbelief on his face. He was confused as the man before him was wearing clothes that were not befitting for a doctor. Most Doctors love to wear expensive clothes to show how much they earned from working.The divine Healer would be earnrng so much butthus man before him was just wearing low end clothes. Though they were new, he could tell that he could not be the divine

    Chapter 28 - Knock of Realization

    Alex stood at the entrance of the bookshop like the person who was coming to pick him up had said. He had gotten there on time but it seemed like the person was running late but he was in a good mood so he was not annoyed that the person was running late. He was just waiting as he admired the clothes he was putting on plus the new pair of shoes he was also putting on. They were enough to lift his mood. A part of him still thinks that no one was going to show up because his Master, Dustin, might be playing a huge prank on him. Dustin had instructed him to wear some new clothes and shoes which seemed to catch everyone's attention. But he must wear a black cup from a counterfeit band named Gushi. Even if it was a prank, there was nothing he could do about it after all Dustin was the one pulling the strings.
