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 but two people who were already proven to be medically dead."

The hairs on the patron's back stood upon hearing that, "you mean to say that this 'Saint' can heal Jack?"

"Of course. Of course he can!" Doctor Vincent nodded his head fervently.

"So where can I find this man?" The patron asked hastily.

"Give me a minute." Doctor Vincent held out his index finger to the man before he retrieved a paper from his table and a men from his breast pocket.

"Let me write down his address for you instead." Doctor Vincent suggested and began scribbling the address down onto the paper.

The patron seemed fixated on what Doctor Vincent was writing down.

"Here you go. Unfortunately, I can't reach him through any means but I'm definitely sure that you can find him at this address." He stretched out the paper to The patron who wasted no time in snatching the paper out of Doctor Vincent's hold.

He ran his eyes over the paper quickly, absorbing the contents. His brows contorted into a frown as he looked up from the paper to the Doctor Vincent.

"Are you sure that this is where I can find him?" He asked. The address that was written on the paper was where the Zlate family lived. What sort of silly games was this doctor playing on him and how did he get to know where the Zlate family lived?

"Of course. That is where i found him the day I attended his wedding." The look on his face told the patron that he wasn't lying, yet something didn't sit right.

How will the Zlate family harbour a healer and yet he didn't know about this. He knew everything about the Zlate family and that was why he had supported the idea of Jack marrying Victoria so they could take their wealth.

"Are you sure about this, Doctor?!" The patron asked.

"I have no benefits in lying to you, sir. I suggest that you hurry down, while Jack still have some life left in him."

The patron sprang up to his feet, thanked doctor Vincent and hurried out.

He kept staring at the paper in hand as he walked, until he almost bumped into a nurse.

He apologized for his actions, stuffed the paper into his pocket and concentrated on walking.

"Who is this healer, Saint?" The patron said under his breath. Making his way to his car.

If truly Doctor Vincent was right and there was a healer over at the Zlate villa, then, he would have to contact Jack's family.

*******

His heart thumped vigorously inside his chest as he got closer to the Zlate villa.

He parked his car just a mile away and decided to continue the rest of his journey on foot. He couldn't remember the last time he had been here but he still had a vivid memory of what the villa was like, and so, getting lost was not an option for him.

As he drew closer to the main building, he could see some construction workers in their uniforms, standing with the butler just right outside the house.

The patron could not help but wonder what they were doing here. The Zlate villa was already perfect the way it was, what more was there to build?

He carefully walked past them while they ignored him and stared at them from a distance as they discussed with the butler.

The patron wanted to signal to the butler but he was deep in the discussion and wouldn't even notice him if he waved at him since yelling out would have been inappropriate.

The patron resorted to going into the main building himself where he met lady Erica alighting the flight of stairs.

He felt a wash of relief over him as he sighted lady Erica and hurriedly made his way toward her.

"Lady Erica!" The patron called out.

"Sir Rawlings, it's so good to see you. What brings you here in the middle of August?!"

The patron caught on the joke since he had not visited for the longest while but there was no time to respond to the joke.

"And why do you look so unsettled, sir Rawlings?"

"I'm glad that you've noticed that, lady Erica. I've come to see the healer who resides in these walls....I would appreciate it if you can take me to him this instance!"

"A healer? What are you talking about, Sir Rawlings?" Lady Erica asked in a perplexed tone.

"I do not have the time to dally around, please....lady Erica. I need to Saint!"

The mere mention of that name caused lady Erica to snap. "What sort of Insult is this, Sir Rawlings?!" She barked but quickly called herself to order and adjusted her puffed blouse.

"Saint does not live here anymore." She let out.

"Please, lady Erica. I understand that you might not want anybody to learn of his presence here but I greatly need to see him!" Sir Rawlings cried out.

    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.

    The night air was crisp and cool as Saint walked along the quiet streets, his hands tucked into the pockets of his coat.

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.

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.

    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!" Victoria continued berating herself and tugging her hair in frustration. She sniffed back in the tears that threatened to cascade down her cheeks. She could
