2024-11-09 22:09:02Alex 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.

“Miller was looking at Alex as if he saw a ghost, he didn't expect to see him in front of his door.“Uncle Miller, it feels like ages since I last saw you. 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. It was evident that she had just taken a shower. She looked in her father’s direction and saw the stranger standing near him.“Who is this fucking Creep?” She screamed before racing to her room.“Miller, re

“The car is simply here to pick me up. I would have offered you some more explanations but I am running out of time. I need to go now.” Alex said pulley then he picked his small old bag and he left the Millers home.They soon arrived at the Bourne’s family house. 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 been waiting by the door for him to show up. 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. Her eyes were puffy as it was obvious that she had been crying for days.“Is this the doctor you speak of?” her eyes flashed with anger and disgust. “Donald, did you seriously bring a rat to

“Will my daughter still survive this after getting the treatment from this?” Donald Bourne was not sure of agreeing to his wife's choice so he wanted to confirm.He was only going to let him touch his daughter because his wife had told him that he was the best doctor in their city. 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. I will make sure he doesn’t get it.”He brought out the cure he had prepared for Bella. He filled the syringe with some liquid. He wa

Alex glanced at him with a smirk on his face, “I’m not taking apprentices yet,”“Please when you decide to start accepting them, kindly contact me.” He bought out his name card and handed it to Alex. “I have been learning the supreme techniques since I was in medical school but I have not been able to master it.”It was no doubt that he wasn't able to learn such technical skills. Many students found it difficult to handle needles and master the supreme techniques. His master had told him that the reason why he had been able to grasp the skill at once was because he was talented.Dr Noton was rooting for a positive response from Alex in the future. He has had many clients that are requesting for treatment but he was not able to attend to their strange illness because he didn’t know how to use the supreme technique.Everyone in the medical industry knew that the supreme techniques could revive anyone that was at the point of death.Seeing how Alex had performed it without making any

“A stalker?” Rebecca asked, confusedly wondering where and when her friend had met such a man because she had not mentioned him to her in the past.“I thought you had seen a very handsome man, I was glad that we got to meet some new rich guy but it ended up being this stupid leech.”“That bastard wants to marry me and I declined, now he is even shameless enough to be stalking me now.” Molly scoffed.“But he is rich and handsome, he came here in a Rolls Royce, do you know how much that cost?”“As if! Take a look at his clothes and the car? Their qualities do not match each other. He only rented the car to show off and pretend like he is rich so he can deceive people.”“He is not the owner of the car. I know him so well. His family business had been stolen by his relative status a long time ago so he has no money to his name.” “Shhh, Molly.

Chapter 11 - When the waiter led him to his room, the presidential suite was quite bigger than what he had been anticipating.It felt like he was going to be wasteful if he stayed in that sort of grand place alone and he wasn’t sure if he was going to spend more than one night at the hotel.”“Can you take me to a smaller room? I just want to rest a bit before heading out.” he said.“Sure, come with me, please.” the receptionist replied politely. He wanted to serve Alex to his satisfaction because of how rude he was to him earlier.That time he was aware that he was a VVIP, his job really depended on how he treated the guests.As they walked down to another room, they ran into a woman dressed in a long black and shiny dinner gown. She seemed to carry so much power as she walked down the hallway as the guest and workers in the hotel and to stop and bow to greet her while she was walking.Alex’s eyes met with hers and he groaned internally when he realized who she was. He had run in
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 12 - Take him to your friends
The line went silent as David Norton did not know how best he would explain to Thea about what had transpired between him and Alex.“Give me an answer. 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. It is possible that he will be able to heal her grandfather too. Now that her hopes were high, she was goi
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 13 - The golden card
“After they ate brunch, Alex was about to leave when Miller asked, “Where are you heading to? You only just got here and we haven't had a drink yet.”“Ah, I am going to the XY bank, I have something to sort out over there.”Alex had to go to the medicine market to buy some ingredients to prepare the antidote he was going to make for Lord Thor Walton’s treatment. So he wants to go and cash out some money from the golden card that Liya had given him.“That is good, Molly has some matters to tend to for the company at the XY bank, the both of you can go there together.” Uncle Miller suggested.That caused him to be more and more frustrated, the more he was trying to stay away from her, the closer he was getting to her.Molly on the other hand was mad about her father’s decision but she knew better than to go against her father's wishes.She had a mischievous grin on her face while she drove both of them to the bank, “Alex, do you know what kind of people use the XY bank?”“The top one pe

Chapter 135 - Lawfully.
A slow silence settled over the ornate hallway, as Thea Walton’s words reverberated off the walls. Her piercing gaze moved from one brother to the next, waiting—expecting—a scramble. Maybe even a power grab.But what she got was something entirely different.Riss Smith, the eldest and the quietest of the trio, took a step forward. His face was unreadable, cold and unmoving, as though he were carved from marble. He looked Thea straight in the eye, not with awe or admiration, but something cooler… more calculating.“No,” he said flatly.Thea blinked. “Excuse me?”“I said no,” Riss repeated, his voice calm but final. “We won’t be competing for your affection or favor under your terms. We’ll do this among ourselves, the way brothers should.”King’s jaw tightened. Vonn shifted where he stood.Thea’s brows furrowed slightly. She hadn’t expected this especially not from the most stoic of the three.King stepped forward next, standing shoulder to shoulder with Riss. “I may be cocky, but I’m n
Chapter 134 - She is here
The atmosphere inside the Smith Mansion was tense with unsaid words and rising testosterone. The grandiose living room, adorned with gold accents and oil paintings of past generations, echoed with the subtle sound of polished shoes pacing on marble. King Smith strolled in with a noticeable swagger, the corner of his lips curled with a self-satisfied smirk.He threw his jacket carelessly onto the velvet couch and plopped down like he owned the entire world.“Where have you been?” Vonn asked, arms crossed, standing in front of the fireplace. His deep voice vibrated with restrained irritation.King didn’t answer right away. Instead, he reached for the crystal decanter on the glass table, poured himself a drink, and sipped it slowly. Theatrics. He wanted to be seen. He wanted them to notice.“I just came back from seeing her,” King finally said, deliberately emphasizing the pronoun as if Thea Walton had become some sort of divine entity to be worshipped.Vonn’s nostrils flared. “You went
Chapter 133 - A Smith
Thea Walton was not one to entertain second chances.But King Smith was not like other men. he was a smith, a man that was from a fmaily that beffitted her title compared to that of alex.When he showed up at Walton Medical Headquarters uninvited, bearing a silver case of rare healing herbs from the Eastern Isles, the guards paused, but Thea didn’t send him away. Not immediately.He had come dressed in charcoal gray, no flamboyant cologne, no flashy rings, no entourage. For once, his hair was combed back neatly, and he carried himself with a seriousness that almost didn’t fit.Almost.Standing before her office doors with a slight tilt of his head, he waited for acknowledgment. When it came, he stepped forward and spoke, not with arrogance, but something close to humility.“I behaved poorly last time,” he said, voice low. “I came to you as a man chasing a trophy, not a partner. For that, I apologize.”Thea stared at him without emotion, hands folded behind her back.“And what do you w
Chapter 132 - How to get Thea
The golden lamps in Riss Smith’s private study glowed with a quiet menace, casting stretched shadows across the leather-bound books and antique chess board that adorned the far wall. He sat behind a carved blackwood desk, a glass of golden whiskey in one hand, and a sealed envelope in the other.His father’s words still echoed in his mind like a mantra.“The one who marries Thea Walton… inherits it all.”Forty-seven hospitals. Pharmaceutical dynasties. Medical research empires. Titles. Legacy. Power.And all that stood between him and the throne was a woman who refused to kneel.Thea Walton.She wasn’t just beautiful. She was dangerous. She had honor braided into her spine and stubbornness carved into her bones. She was not the type to be wooed with roses and poetry. Her heart was forged in battlefields, not ballrooms.And Riss Smith… he was a tactician, not a poet.But this time, he couldn’t rely on brute wealth or cold strategy. No. Thea Walton would not fall like other women had.T
Chapter 131 - Tina's ex returns
Tina stood by the window, her delicate fingers wrapped around a porcelain teacup that had long gone cold. The early morning sun streamed through the sheer curtains, turning her soft beige robe into a glowing silhouette. Her thoughts were distant, but her lips wore a smile, the kind that still lingered from the night before.The memory of the orphanage was still fresh.Alex Cole’s voice, his steady hands when he helped carry the supply crates, the way the children laughed and clung to his sleeves. Most of all, his words.You did well.It wasn’t flattery.It wasn’t indulgence.It was honest. Direct. Alex Cole had looked her in the eyes, not as prey, not as a woman he had to avoid, but as someone worth recognizing.And then there were his last words before she dropped him off at the intersection.I wouldn’t mind seeing it again. The place. The kids. You.She had replayed that line so many times it echoed now more than her own heartbeat.She had won a small piece of ground in his heart. I
Chapter 130 - And all three of you want her
The dining hall of the Smith estate was a temple of wealth and power. Golden chandeliers dripped light from above like molten stars. The table beneath them was a stretch of mahogany longer than most banquet halls in the city, polished to the point where one's reflection could be seen in its surface. At the head of it all, Wade Smith sat like an emperor enthroned.Trim City's wealthiest medical tycoon. A man with power not only in hospitals and pharmaceuticals but also across underground networks and private research organizations that stretched beyond Mericania’s borders.His three sons sat along the table, each one radiating a different flavor of ambition.Riss Smith, the eldest, with his golden cufflinks and prideful eyes. He wore his tailored suit like it was armor. Vonn Smith, the second, was more refined, quieter, but with a sharpness in his gaze that betrayed a calculating nature. And then, there was King, the youngest, but the most brash. His smile could disarm any woman, but h
Chapter 129 - Duke Lin
The wind that blew through the Walton Estate carried the scent of trimmed rose bushes and the faint sting of polished steel. The sky had long faded from blue to amber, and the estate grounds were already bathed in a warm, orange glow as dusk crept in from the hills.Inside the sitting room of the Walton main residence, two women sat with very different expressions.Thea Walton, the War God of Mericania, sat in quiet poise. Her military-styled coat rested on the back of her seat, revealing the sleeveless black dress that clung to her form. Her eyes were narrowed slightly, but not from anger she was deep in thought. Still, beneath her stillness, an undeniable impatience lingered.Beside her, Hannah Stone paced the room in tight, agitated circles. Every third step, she would stop, whirl around, and begin her rant again with renewed vigor.“This is ridiculous,” Hannah snapped, flicking her long dark hair behind her shoulder. “How long have we been waiting? Twenty minutes? Thirty?”Thea d
Chapter 128 - You did well
The morning sun had just begun its slow climb, casting honey-colored rays upon the bustling roads of Trim City. Inside the luxury sedan, the air was silent, save for the soft hum of the engine and the occasional shift of tires on asphalt.Tina Snow sat beside Alex Cole with a demure expression, her hands folded on her lap, her posture elegant and composed. She wore a soft fragrance today, something faint and unfamiliar. The kind of scent that did not announce itself but lingered gently, just enough to be remembered.She had spoken only once since he entered the car.“I’m taking you somewhere,” she said, a mysterious smile playing on her lips. “But you’ll have to wait and see.”He did not press for details. He simply leaned back in his seat and allowed the silence to stretch between them like a fragile thread. His eyes occasionally drifted to her reflection in the window. She was dressed like no version of Tina Snow he had seen before. No bright lipstick. No high heels sharp enough to
Chapter 127 - Orphanage
Alex stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the collar of his clean white shirt.His hair was combed, his shoes clean, and his cologne subtle. He checked his watch. He still had twenty minutes before he was supposed to pick Tina up.The last time they saw each other, things had ended on a tense note. But she had reached out, apologized, and asked for another chance. He agreed. Today was supposed to be that second chance.His phone buzzed on the table.Alex picked it up.It was a message from an unfamiliar number."This is Hannah Stone. Lady Walton would like you to come for lunch today. She has something important to discuss with you. Regarding Lord Thor Walton."Another message followed immediately."This time, we are not taking no for an answer."Alex narrowed his eyes.The tone was direct, almost aggressive. Hannah’s reputation as Thea’s right hand was well-known. She didn’t sugarcoat anything, and she certainly didn’t waste time repeating herself.But it was the second part of th
