Saint decided to go on to the hospital with no member of the Dragon Clan apart from the man that led the way.

Though a member of his Clan was being taken care of there. There still stood a lot of people that needed help.

And his selfishness was going to speak through if he dared to disrupt the medical process of these patients.

However, getting into the ward where he had been admitted, another person laid on the bed.

Ken had his face flooded with confusion, his eyes deepening right into their sockets.

"Then we should look for him!" Saint's calmness edged through the room.

Their search eventually leads them off through the glimpse of the hall, a nurse rolling him off in a wheel bed.

"Where are you taking master Griffin to?" Ken's face burned red with anger. It seemed like he was going to tear the nurse that stood right before him apart however Saint prevented him from doing so.

"Where are you taking him off to?" Saint inquired.

"Ward 99!"

Ken's face suddenly grew pale. The ward Ninety was a ward that was mainly dominated by people that were assumed to be dead already.

But they needed the consent of the person or at least a close relation and Gerald hasn't been able to talk in a while.

"How can you just assume that he is dead? When he is still breathing!" His eyes flashed with anger.

However, the nurse remained calm and his sight was unfazed.

"I'm only an intern given strict instructions. If you have issues with them, you can see the head doctor!"

Ken vibrated, However with the heir of the Dragon Clan standing right before him, he was able to control the rage that surged throughout his vines.

"Take us to the doctor!"

The nurse dragging off the wheels led them to the office of the head doctor. He seemed to be having a meeting with a few other people when they walked in.

"Doctor.." He was suddenly interrupted by the nurse.

His face burned, breathed right, and his attempt to control his rising emotions were fertile.

"Can't you see that I am having a meeting with Doctor Vincent?" His hands met with the table that was before him.

"I'm sorry sir. These men objected to taking patient Gerald to the ninety ward!" He explained.

The head doctor recognized this case. Because during all his years of practice, he had never seen anyone with such an amount of internal damage before.

His heart pounded with the assurance that there was medically no hope possible for the patient, as he had been checked by the best doctor that the country could offer, Doctor Vincent.

But before speaking, the doctor seized up the man that was before him. Most of the people that came to the hospital were mostly men of prominence.

It was going to be a deadly thing offsetting one of them. However, the men before him seemed ordinary

They might have been able to bring the patient here because of the grant that they had received

Too bad that Doctor Saint had to waste his medical prowess on someone that didn't even have class.

Saint frowned. Even though he didn't go through the straight root of medicine, a doctor should never proclaim anyone alive as dead, especially in such a manner.

"Doctor Cain! I don't mean to ignore your medical judgment but I would like to look at the patient myself."

The air that rolled through the hall seemed to pull a sudden pause as the doctor rose off from his seat with his eyes set right on Saint.

"And who do you think you are? What medical heights have you attained?" The doctor inquired, his face filled with fury.

He didn't expect that a meeting with such a powerful medical figure of the community was going to be interrupted by some poor peasant.

But as much as he wanted to give the young Arrogant man before him a slap right in the face, the presence of Doctor Vincent in the room was enough for him to control his rage.

"I did go through the normal route of medicine. And I only know a little!" Saint replied politely.

Doctors Cain's face ran pale, the color running off from his face as he was taken aback in his steps.

"A little about medicine?" His face swelled with the rage that had gathered right in his face.

"And you come here to disturb my peace!"

"The little I know might be able to help."

Doctor Cain wanted to explode with words, all the hair on his body standing right in an instant, and his face deepened.

"I did the check myself Young mister. And you don't seem to have the wealth of experience backing you too!" A calm voice from the room suddenly brought the attention back to Doctor Vincent.

That was the first time that he spoke. He had declared the man as dead himself. Throughout his search, he had always wanted to learn more about medicine, create more drugs that were going to help the public. But it seemed like the world was exhausted of all its medical knowledge.

"I believe a trial won't be so bad... Doctor Vincent.." Replied Saint.

There was something in his eyes and the way that his head bowed, screaming a sense of familiarity. However, Vincent could not place exactly where it was.

"Indeed! Can be there to assist you at least!"

"I could never refuse you!"

Doctor Cain was most shocked as these words registered in his head.

"Assist?"

He had never seen doctor Saint talking to anyone in such a manner before. Had this young man charmed this man!

"Doctor Vin!" He tried objecting but he could not be allowed breathing space to speak

"If you can't help doctor Cain. I don't see any crime in letting someone else do it!"

Cain's words suddenly ran dry in his mouth and he could barely speak, only nodding his head at the instant.

"Sure!"

They went off to where Gerald was, the life almost exhausted out from his lungs.

Saint requested for a few acupuncture needles, placing them neatly into Gerald's pressure point.

Everyone started watching for his failure while Doctor Cain's face twisted with disgust.

'If anyone can get well through these archaic methods that have been proven not to work, then there would be no need for Doctors.' The thought came with an outer scoff.

Even when Cain was done he was already sweaty. However nothing happened.

Cain's frown deepened.

"I knew that he was a con right from the beginning!" He lashed out words even before Saint could speak suddenly making him sigh

"I believe I'm not done speaking yet!" He returned.

Just then, Gerald started panting from breathing. It seemed like he could not get enough air flowing through his lungs.

Ken's heart banged as he rushed forward towards Gerald with a loud shout.

"Master! Master! Are you okay?" His heart paced swiftly and his being jolted off from his body, multiple possibilities running through his mind.

But then, the vines of Gerald had stopped pulsing, most of the medical practitioners' heads bowed and Cain had a broad smile on his face that wasn't shown.

He stepped forward, with a finger of accusation that was pointed at Saint.

"You killed him. You're no medical practitioner but a murderer! And you deserve to rot behind bars!"

"I'm beginning to wonder how you got to this point if you don't know basic medical techniques!" Replied Saint.

A small crowd that included relatives of other persons that were sick started yelling at Saint, some throwing anything that was within arm reach at him.

"He needs to be put behind bars!"

"I knew right from the beginning that he was a con! Just looked like how he looks.

No medical practitioner would look like someone that had been starving for food!" They shot.

"As I said again! Don't come after me until I say I'm done!" Though Saint's words remained calm as always, the sudden energy that forged off from these words hitting the crowds suddenly brought a stop to their words.

He drew off the needles that were right in his lungs region, stabbing the two ruthlessly into the neck of Gerald.

Gerald suddenly drew in a loud gasp, his few grew all sweaty and he flung his airs open.

A wave of shock ran right through the hall as everyone stared at the impossibility before them.

"Did he come back from the Netherlands?"

"I can swear that I noticed him gone just a few moments ago!" The crowd gasped with shock.

Somewhere even digging their hands into their skin already all in an attempt to sober up. However, the sight before then remained.

Their hearts sank deep into the bottom of their feets. The eyes of disdain that they had once used to look at Saint suddenly turned into one of admiration.

"You're a saver!"

Cain could not believe it, his eyes ran blank with the truth that was before him.

Doctor Saint opened his mouth to speak but his words ran dry in his throats. After a few moments with his eyes still widened with shocks, he finally got himself to inquire.

"How's that possible? How were you able to do that?" He inquired.

"As I said! I know just a little about medicine!"

Doctor. Vincent's eyes brightened. All his life, he had been searching for someone that knows more about medicine other than himself.

And when he thought that such a person didn't exist anymore. A youngster turned out to be the one to beat his wildest imagination.

He drew a deep breath.

"Thanks Master Saint. Thanks!"

Doctor Vincent watching closely could see that the eyes that this man gave to Saint was much more than the eyes of being grateful.

He feared and revered this man. Even calling him master. The curiosity that rose up in him suddenly heightened.

He tried advancing towards Saint even though it wasn't the right and proper time. However the news that was being aired on the TV suddenly made Saint draw a pause.

"The largest wedding to be witnessed in the history of Belton city is finally here. The wedding between Victoria Zlate and Jack Sparrow, the perfect and dream couple!"

Saint's heart froze as his stare remained glued to the news lady in the city and the ever beautiful sight of Victoria in her wedding gown made his heart meet a loud bang.

"I am not 'another man' and Victoria is still my wife!" Saint retorted, trying to contain his anger. Jack's face contorted into a deep frown at the sound of Saint's voice. He stepped closer toward them, staring Saint dead in the eye. "I have no idea how you survived but let me make it clear to you that Victoria is my 'wife' she will be married to me again in just a few days after she has divorced you!" Jack uttered in anger. Saint's gaze fell on Victoria at Jack's last words.

The hurt that coursed through her at that point prevented her from meeting Saint's gaze and she couldn't walk away from him either. Saint, sensing the way Victoria felt, placed

That bastard is gone out of our lives finally, why don't you open the door and let's celebrate it 'the way new couples do' instead of sulking." Jack said as he continued to knock on the door. How in the world had he let Victoria lock him out of her room. "You're the bastard here, Jack Sparrow and don't you even dare try to touch me because if you do. I'm going to smack the hell out of you." Victoria spat out at him in anger amidst the rising and falling of her chest.

    At the Zlate's villa, almost two days later, everyone present was stunned by the presence of Doctor Vincent with even more gifts for not only Victoria this time but for the whole family. All through out his stay, he didn't give a single hint that he had come to see Saint. "Please come on in sir!" Lady Erica gestured towards the living room as she lit up a smile on her face. She had immediately recognised him from the wedding. Lady Erica had been tending to the flowers in the gardening just to get rid of the boredom that was gnawing at her when she was approached by one of the guards who alerted about the presence of the man waiting to be received at the entrance of the villa. Lady Erica's eyes lit up. She dropped the scissors she held in her hands to the floor and rushed to meet Doctor Vincent. "Oh my, it's so wonderful to have you here...at our home!" Lady Erica said to him, as though enthralled by his very presence at their home."Please make your way in!" She said to him befo

She loved Saint so much that she could not see herself serving him their divorce papers, but she had soon forgotten that the family she belonged to, hated Saint's every gut and they wanted him out of their lives for good. Over dinner, The clinking of silverware against porcelain echoed softly through the opulent dining room. The Zlate family was gathered for their customary Sunday dinner, a tradition that hid the tension beneath their calm and elegant appearance.Victoria sat at the far end of the table, her hands resting lightly on the napkin in her lap. Her mother, sat to her right, her sharp eyes darting between Victoria and her plate. Across from her, Lady Erica, radiated an air of authority.

    The hum of the car engine filled the silence as Victoria sat in the back seat, staring blankly out the window. The city lights blurred past her— their glow dim through the haze of her tears. Her chest felt tight, and each breath that she took was a struggle as waves of emotion overwhelmed her. She clutched a tissue in her hand, crumpling it as if trying to hold herself together.The chauffeur, an older man named Mr. Bernard, glanced at her through the rearview mirror, his face etched with concern. He had been with the Zlate family for years and had seen Victoria grow up. Now, seeing her so broken, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.“Miss Victoria,” he said gently, choosing his words carefully, she was in a state of deep pain and didn't want to hurt her more, “are you alright?”She shook her head, unable to speak. The weight of her family’s expectations, the thought of losing Saint, and the looming decision she didn’t want to make pressed down on her like a boulder. Silent s

    The restaurant buzzed softly with chatter as Victoria sat alone at a quiet corner table. Her fingers nervously played with the edges of an envelope resting on the table. The delicious smell of garlic and fresh bread filled the air, but she hardly noticed. Her heart pounded with a mix of fear and anticipation, her thoughts spinning over what she was about to do.She hadn’t seen Saint in days, and now, here she was, about to sever the bond that meant more to her than anyone could understand. It wasn’t fair—none of this was fair—but she told herself that this was her decision, that she wasn’t caving to her family’s relentless pressure. Even if that wasn’t entirely true. When the restaurant door opened, she glanced up instinctively. The sight that met her eyes made her heart stop. Saint walked in, and for a moment, Victoria couldn’t breathe. This wasn’t the man she remembered. He had always been handsome, but now there was an air about him—something almost otherworldly. His skin was

    "I think I've found it!" Victoria exclaimed, holding up a miniature bottle that contained a green fluid. "It has got to be the antidote!" Victoria reckoned, holding out the bottle in front of her and staring at it intently. "Are...you sure that it is?" Saint asked with a glint of hope in his eyes Victoria didn't respond to him immediately. The look of elation on her face suddenly disappeared. "What if it's not?" She blurted out. "Give the bottle to me, Victoria." Saint demanded. "Hold on, I've got make sure that it's the antidote. What if this is just another poison?" She asked, unsure of what to think. "Just hand it to me, there's no time to think about what's not!" He said urgently. Victoria's hands had begun to tremble as she held onto the bottle, refusing to give it up. "Listen to me and give me that bottle....at least let me have a close look at it." Saint said to her in hopes that she would hand the bottle to him but she did not.

    By the time Saint awoke from his deep slumber, the whole room was lit up by sunlight which meant, it was already the next morning. Saint could properly see the room that he was in. It had seemed as though he had been kept in a basement the night he had been brought here, but seeing it clearly for the first time, he realised that he was being kept in a proper room that either belonged to sir Rawlings or someone else. The room was in a hot mess but surprisingly, there was laundry neatly folded and kept on the bed. Saint struggled to get up to his feet but realised that he could not move his limbs. Much to his amazement, neither his legs nor hands were bound, yet he could not even raise a finger—only turning his head from side to side in agony. Laying helplessly on the floor sent frustration gushing through Saint. He clenched his jaw and struggled still to get up from the floor but all his efforts were futile. He could not grasp the reason he felt so weak and why his bones ached al

    The night air was crisp and cool as Saint walked along the quiet streets, his hands tucked into the pockets of his coat. The city lights flickered in the distance, but he wasn’t paying attention to them. His mind was elsewhere, replaying everything that had happened in the past few days. Victoria. Paige. The ambush. His jaw clenched as he exhaled sharply, shaking his head. The thoughts of him destroying the kin clan and what his uncle had warned him concerning it kept flowing back into his head. Before he could entertain the thought any further, his senses suddenly sharpened. Something was off. He halted mid-step, his ears picking up the slightest shuffle of movement behind him. Too late. A thick cloth was shoved over his face. The strong scent of chemicals invaded his nostrils as he struggled against the men holding him down. He lashed out, elbowing one in the ribs, but there were too many of them. Their grips were ironclad, dragging him backward into a van before he c

    The patron had to contain his anger and stormed out of the Zlate villa. All his efforts to get lady Erica to show him to where Saint was turned futile. But he didn't want to give up yet, for the sake of Jake's life—he couldn't give up. "I'm going to find Saint and make sure I bring him to you, Jake, no matter what it cost!" The patron vowed to himself and started his car. He wanted to go back to the hospital to meet doctor Vincent but then he remembered that he had said there was no way he could contact Saint and that only angered the patron the more. "How come I'm just hearing of Saint for the first time?" He asked himself as he started the engine of the car. His car was already in motion, driving far away from the Zlate villa but he was unsure of where he was heading to. He needed to find Saint before the day was over, but he didn't even know what he looked like, or where he was. A loud sigh escaped his lips as he partly concentrated on his driving, thinking of where next to

    The patron didn't know if he should give into his desire to laugh or reprimand the doctor for trying to evoke a jocular atmosphere in a situation like this. But the tone and the look on the doctor's face kept him back from doing either. "What do you mean by getting Saint to come heal Jack?!" The patron frowned at him, hoping he would cease if indeed he was trying to stir up a joke. "I saw Jack at Saint's wedding when I went to present my gifts to them. Jack must definitely know who Saint is." Doctor Vincent replied. The patron was even more confused, "who is this Saint you keep speaking of?" The patron asked. "You do not know who he is?" Doctor Vincent sounded surprised, "he is the only one who can save Jack at this point. And I have to be honest with you on that." He confessed. The patron then shifted to the edge of his seat. "I have no idea who he is, please tell me more about him." The patron urged. "Well, few weeks back, Saint came Into this hospital to heal not just one bu

    The constant beeping of the monitor filled the silence in the ward. Jack Sparrow looked pale while his eyes were closed in coma. Fortunately, he had survived the attack inflicted on him by one of the men involved in Victoria's kidnap. His house helps had fled the house, leaving Jack to die from the injury inflicted on him. His head was wrapped with fresh bandages but by there was still a sight of blood on the side of the bandage. Victoria was nowhere to be found in the ward and the only people surrounding him were the nurse attending to him and checking his heart rate and to see if he was still breathing right. The patron of his family and Doctor Vincent were hovering above the bed where Jack laid. "Are you sure that he is going to be fine, doctor?" The patron asked with great fear, placing both hands across his chest. Doctor Vincent let out a loud sigh before he went on to say; "I can't assure you about that, sir but let's just hope that he responds to the medications being ad

    Saint's breathing came out in a ragged state as he looked over the remains of what used to be the kin clan. He had destroyed everything in sight, and not even a single soul was spared. He managed to manoeuvre his way past the dead bodies scattered everywhere across the floors. He looked down onto his own body and noticed the blood stains all over his clothes—not a single drop of blood had spilled from him but rather the blood stains were from all the people he had slaughtered. Knowing that he needed to wash the blood stains off of him before he retired back to his clan so he wouldn't give his uncle another heart attack, he made his way back Into the building, hoping to find any place that he could wash the blood from him. The cloak of darkness still surrounding the whole place prevented him from finding his way to any bathroom outlet and there wasn't any room in sight, just a vast space filled with bodies of the people he had killed. He let out a loud sigh knowing that he would

    The entire house was as silent as a graveyard by the time Victoria made it back. Not a single sound could be heard—the usual sound of the TV blaring was absent; As Jack never missed his nightly shows, not even for the world. But tonight was different from the rest. The house was equally as dark and Victoria had a hard time finding the switches so she could turn the lights on. "Jack?" Victoria called out, wiping the perspiration from her face, "Where the hell are you, Jack?" She called out again, but the only response she got was her voice echoing off the walls and bouncing back to her. It felt like the house was empty, there was not a sign of a soul in the house—all the house workers, including the security guard that was meant to be stationed at the gate had suddenly disappeared. Victoria marched up the stairs to be sure of what was happening. Had those men all taken everyone in the house out? It was possible that they would have, if they wanted to keep anyone back from coming af

    In the darkness of the night, Victoria could still see the men grimacing in pain as they all tried to get back up on their feet. She struggled to get over the shock of having Saint walk away from her without bothering to ask her to come with him. She didn't know if to follow Saint or go back to Jack Sparrow; but the logical answer would be to go back to Jack's house and remain with him. There was no need to trying to patch things that was impossible to mend. "That bloody bastard!" Victoria emotions suddenly got the better of her, "he couldn't even lift a finger to save me!" She yelled out into the night, not caring who had heard her. "Why....why did I agree to divorce Saint and get married to a useless man like Jack Sparrow....that bloody idiot!""Oh gosh....I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid for letting Saint off just like that!"
