Chapter 108(Conference Room)Ethan walked in with a bottle of water in his hands, he scanned the room, looking for a tag with Adrian Grayson. Immediately he found it, he walked straight to the chair designated for Adrian.He looked around the table, looking for the tag that had his name on it, he found out it was across Adrian's seat. He picked up Mr. Leonard's tag and swapped it with his, granting him proximity to Adrian. There were two table waters on the table with a glass cup that was turned upside down.He picked up one of the bottled waters on Adrian's table and swapped it with the water he brought in, which he had poisoned in his office. Ethan decided to sit and wait for others to arrive, Liam, his twin brother was first to arrive, then Adrian, Mr. Leonard, Aaron, and his father.Fifteen minutes later, Mr. Jackson walked in with his secretary behind him, immediately they got on their feet, exchanging handshakes as he walked past them till he got to the seat designated for him.

Ethan and Liam weren't ready to do anything, it was Mr. Jackson who helped in opening the door."Get into the fucking car son, can't you see your brother needs help?"

Aaron raised his head slowly, sobbing with his teary red eyes gazing at the face of his father. "Look at me, you might think I am damn harsh. You have every right to think or see things from that angle, but I want you to know that I am doing this because I love you, I am doing this for your tomorrow.""For my tomorrow?

Chapter 114( Few Hours AGO)Mr. Leonard got tired of waiting, and neither the doctors nor nurses came out to attend to him. They all turned a blind eye on him as they ran in and out of the room, Adrian was kept in.After waiting for two hours without anyone attending to him, Mr. Leonard stood up and walked into the elevator. Since the past two hours, he hasn't rested, and if he didn't take time to rest, he would probably collapse.Just before he left, he sent a message to his driver asking him to pick him up at the City hospital.

Chapter 115Audrey paid keen attention, not that she cared about what happened to Adrian, she's just here because of her father and the shit loads of money Adrian makes for the family.The doctor exhaled, "He isn't going to die, we did our best to save him by clearing the poison away from his system and blood and bloodstream.""Can I see him now?" She asked as she got on her feet, "Yes of course you can, it's just that he might not be able to speak to you. But he's stable and he has been moved out of the ICU.

Audrey turned to the Doctor "Are you sure he is in a stable state?" It seemed too far from what he was saying because of the different things connected to his body.The Doctor chuckled as he dipped his hands into the pocket of his traditional long white coat
