"You've been owing us money, doc and it's time to pay up!” A stern voice was heard speaking to Dr. Kris.“Please, I just need a little more time. I'll surely pay,” Dr. Kris pleaded but it appeared his pleas fell on deaf ears as the man standing in front of him sneered.“I'm afraid you are out of time, doc. You either pay up or face the consequences.”There was a brief silence as Dr. Kris pondered on what to do next.Since he was a kid he had always wanted to be a doctor so he could help those that required medical assistance but had no money.His passion had inspired him to excel in medical school and to graduate at the top of his class.He worked as a doctor for several years in a few hospitals before he learned that the Wilkins family had decided to sell off their hospital.He had excitedly pulled together all his life savings to pay the initial sum that the Wilkins were asking for.The Wilkins family sold the hospital to Dr. Kris, agreeing to give him some time to pay the rest of t

Ethan's gaze remained on Dr. Kris as he enquired what the problem was.Dr. Kris on the other hand was still slightly shaken by what he had just witnessed. He was initially bothered by the way Ethan spoke to Farrell and feared what Farrell would do to the both of them until Ethan took him down with a single kick.Farrell gritted his teeth as he picked himself up from the ground, instantly resenting Ethan.He observed Ethan's calm demeanor and was slightly taken aback by how powerful his kick had felt.He stood at the door glaring at Ethan and Dr. Kris with a look that said it wasn't over yet and without saying anything, he walked out of the hospital with his wounded pride.Dr. Kris instantly heaved a sigh of relief as he slowly sat down opposite Ethan.He took off his glasses before gently wiping the fresh beads of sweat that had just broken out over his forehead as he narrated everything to Ethan about how he acquired the hospital from the Wilkins family.Meanwhile, Farrell got into h

The frown on Dr. Kris' face instantly deepend as Ethan's words finally sunk in.He didn't owe the Wilkins' family any money yet he had paid off the debt that he believed the hospital owed and he was still paying them what he owed for the purchase of the hospital.Dr. Kris' jaw slightly dropped as he shook his head.“This is great news, Mr. Banks. It means I no longer owe them anything. But how do I let them know that I've discovered their trick? How do I stop them from coming back for more money?” There was a disturbed look on his face as he asked Ethan.Meanwhile, Farrell Wilkins walked into his grandmother's home without responding to the bows and greetings of any of the servants.His grandmother was sipping a cup of tea when Farrell walked in with fury evident on his face.Madam Comfort Wilkins, the matriarch of the Wilkins family shifted uncomfortably where she sat and furrowed her brows at Farrell.From the expression on his face, she knew something was wrong. She had been skepti

Farrell was ecstatic after he heard what his grandmother said to him. He couldn't wait to see Ethan begging for mercy. He was going to enjoy every bit of the show.He smiled deviously to himself as he swung his vehicle into the road and sped off in the direction of the hospital.Ethan's gaze remained on Dr. Kris for several seconds, studying him. His heart was beat was somewhat unsteady and there were fresh beads of sweat on his forehead. His hands were unsteady and he paced continuously, back and forth in his office like one who was in a dilemma.“Doctor, I was expecting you to be overjoyed at the news but instead you look even more disturbed, why is that?” Ethan's question surprised Dr. Kris.Didn't he just hear a word I just said? He wondered. Had he known he probably wouldn't have allowed Ethan to get involved. What if his actions had complicated matters?Dr. Kris knew Farrell wasn't the type to give up so easily. He was definitely going to return and this time he won't be alone.

I'll pay you back every penny that you've spent in acquiring the hospital from the Wilkins' and I'll even include the supposed debt that you cleared. How about that?”Dr. Kris was stunned at Ethan's proposal.“Hmm…you want to buy the hospital?” He asked in disbelief.He didn't think anyone who had just discovered everything that Ethan had just found out about the hospital would still be interested in buying it.Ethan nodded, “I've been scouting f

Dr. Kris' facial expression instantly changed as the two menacing figures walked into his office.They glared at him, further instilling more fear into him.Dr. Kris swallowed hard as he gestured at Ethan who appeared uninterested in what was happening in the office.Ethan, noticing Dr. Kris' worried expression, simply furrowed his brows as he spun around in his seat.Farrell's gaze moved from Dr. Kris to Ethan as the other man with him suddenly picked up a call. Farrell chuckled deviously as he rubbed his palms together.“Hahaha….I thought you were smart but a smart punk would have left the hospital a long time ago. I'm sorry but it's too late now. I'm here to put you in your place for good this time!”Ethan shot Farewell a piercing glare, sending ripples of fear through Farrell instantly.“You still have the guts to return here, huh?” Ethan's glare obviously unsettled Farrell but he held unto the courage that the other man gave him.“In case you haven't noticed….I didn't come alone!

Farrell gritted his teeth while glaring at Dr. Kris, “Answer me fool! Who did you sell the hospital to?”Dr. Kris fumbled with his words slightly, as he was still shaken by fear.“I sold it…I sold it to Mr. Banks here.”Farrell threw up in laughter as soon as he heard Dr. Kris' words.“Hahaha….you did what? You sold a hospital worth tens of millions of dollars to this punk? And how did he pay? With a promissory note?”Farrell held a mocking expression on his face as he stared at Dr. Kris and Ethan.“I'm sorry to break it to you doc. but you have just been played. I suggest you shred whatever agreement you've drawn up with this jackass and make things right before I lose my patience,” Farewell clenched his fists while glaring at Dr. Kris.But Dr. Kris shook his head slowly, “I'm sorry Mr. Farrell but it's done already. He has already paid me in full.”There was a brief pause as Dr. Kris' words sank into Farrell.Farrell glared at Ethan in disbelief as he struggled to make sense of what

Blood oozed freely from Farrell's mouth as he stared at General Cage in fear.Farrell shook with even more fear and almost pissed on himself as he heard Ethan's words, He was fortunate to still be alive!General Cage gritted his teeth as he glared at Farrell, “I'm sure you heard that. Go back and tell your grandmother what Mr. Banks just told you. Get out of here before I change my mind!”Farrell instantly forgot about the pain he had just been feeling as he picked himself up from the floor. He was about to run out of the office when he heard Ethan's powerful voice, “Stop there!”Farrell stopped immediately, not daring to move a muscle, “You have 48 hours to return every penny you have fraudulently taken from the doctor and tender a public apology to him. I hope you will act wisely this time,” Ethan's warning caused Farell to quiver and almost lose his balance.“Now get lost!” Farrell ran as fast as he could as soon as he heard Ethan.At that instant, Loretta walked into the office a
