"Huh?" Amelia mouthed with surprise. "You want to prove stubborn? Alright then." "Guards!" Two able bodied men rushed towards her, flexing their muscles underneath their black garments. "Amelia!" Emily raised her voice slightly with a big frown on her face. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" "I invited him over and only I have the right to walk him out, you have no right to do so. Since when did you become this disrespectful" Amelia folded her hands angrily. "My sister has never raised her voice at me ever since we were little but because of you she yelled at me." Leonard sighed. "I don't mean to cause any trouble. I only came here to help." "Your help isn't needed," Amelia snapped. Emily inhaled sharply and glanced at Leonard. "Ignore her, let's go. He's in his room." Amelia furrowed her brows. Shrugging her shoulders, she followed them out. "I will have to follow you, just in case you steal anything." Emily and Leonard ignored her and entered into an equally luxurious vi
"Ma'am, we have done the best we can for your grandfather. There's nothing more except to hope for the master's speedy recovery." "If there's nothing we could do to cure his ailment, what do you think this quack here can do?" Doctor Justin asked with disgust in his eyes as he stared at Leonard. Emily frowned at his statement. He was obviously insulting Leonard. "Just because you couldn't cure my grandfather doesn't mean someone else can't. At least, let him try." "And what will he dies?" Amelia asked. "Huh?" Emily mouthed with surprise. "What the hell are you sprouting there? Grandpa won't die." "Hmph, you trust this rapist so much that he would be the end of you," Amelia replied with a scoff. Emily rolled her eyes and ignored Amelia totally. "Leonard, please." Leonard nodded and walked towards the old man lying in a somewhat lifeless posture. This ailment seemed to be more than a case of asthma. Placing a palm on the old man's chest, Leonard closed his eyes and muttered some
Beads of sweat flowed down freely on Leonard's body as he directed all his energy and concentration on the acupuncture treatment.He knew the consequences of a slightest mistake.This treatment was life threatening and any little mistake might lead to the loss of the patient's life.Emily held her fingers as she stared at Leonard through the little light in the room. She couldn't see his face clearly but she saw how carefully and tactically his fingers moved with the needles.She silently prayed and hoped that her grandfather would be alright. He was the only one who stood with her and objected to her marriage.After an hour which seemed like a whole period of eternity, Leonard finally stepped away from Emily's grandfather's bed."I'm done," he said."Can we open the windows now?" Amelia asked nonchalantly. "I feel suffocated.""No! And if you feel suffocated, you shouldn't have stayed back," Leonard replied.He glanced at Emily. "Please, I would like to use the restroom. He shouldn't
"I don't care! I don't care!" Emily yelled back in tears to his surprise.Emily's eyes were red, her makeup was ruined, mascara running down her eyes alongside her tears."Y'all pushing me to marry someone I don't want to marry. Only grandpa stood by him, so do you think I brought Leonard here just to spend time with him?""Yes, it was true I fell in love with him but that was a long time ago not anymore. True, he didn't go to any medical school but still shouldn't we give it a trial.""I requested that Dr Aquafina be brought in here but she was busy and sent Leonard instead. So why don't we just trust him?" Doctor Justin raised a brow. "Doctor Aquafina?"Emily nodded. "Yes, Doctor Aquafina.""Doctor Aquafina is well known throughout the USA to be a very reputable doctor who knows her needles well. To get acquainted with her is very hard, more so for a doctor like me, so how can that thing get acquainted with her?" Doctor Justin said with disbelief."Do you think I'm lying? I saw the
Few minutes later… The Holter machine began to show signs of a normal heartbeat rate. Leonard took his hands off the old man's body and heaved a sigh of relief. "He's back," One of the nurses exclaimed with shock. Although the duration of the massage was short, it required a lot of energy to ensure circulation of Qi and blood and Leonard felt extremely drained. He wiped off the beads of sweats running down his forehead. Jensen Everett was out of danger now. He wasn't breathing abnormally anymore. "Leonard, how is my grandpa?" Emily spoke up, her voice cutting through the thick silence in the room. "He's out of danger now. The toxins in his body have been removed already, it's just a matter of time before he wakes up," Leonard replied. "Toxins?" Rosalie repeated with a worried look. "Yes mom. Grandpa was poisoned," Emily replied. "But thanks to Leonard now, he's fine." "Hmph," Leonard nodded. "Next time, y'all be careful. I'll take my leave now." "Yeah, please leave. I know y
Chris let out a manical laughter as he played with a bird inside a cage in his hands. "You don't expect that after I went through the stress of bringing them here I would let them go so easily because you asked me to?" "Well, he actually cares about them even though they had treated him badly. It seems the King respects relationships," Natasha said laughing. Leonard turned to look at her and then glanced at Chris. Chris threw the cage in his hands on the floor and walked forward towards Leonard, stepping on the head of the bird instantly killing it. "You killed one of us and you thought you could still live a peaceful life? Well, sorry to burst your bubble but that won't happen. Quite stupid of you to have come here alone." Chris snapped his fingers loudly into the air. Leonard began to hear the sounds of guns being cocked. He was being ambushed. Chris searched Leonard's face to see any form of fear but there was none instead Leonard kept a straight face as they stared at each o
"Take him away! And help that lady over there," Leonard said, pointing at Natasha who was bleeding from her thigh. Her red cloth was soaked with her blood already.Chris began to struggle. "No, please! If you kill me, Ademaro will come for you! He won't let this go!" Leonard spun around angrily. "Are you threatening me? Well, you won't live long to see whether he would let this go or not so take him away." "No!" Chris' screams filled the air as he was being dragged to one of the cars. "Leonard," A feminine voice chimed happily behind him. Leonard felt Trisha's hands wrapped around his waist, she had hugged him from behind. This was the first thing Trisha had hugged him ever since he had known her. He had always prayed for this day to come and it has but right now, it didn't matter to him anymore. The stench smell of sweat filled his nostrils and he didn't waste time in throwing her hands off him, shocking her to the core. "What did you do that for?" He asked angrily. Trisha t
"What's going on here?" A voice sounded behind Leonard.One of the guards roughly pushed Leonard away from the doors."Mr Silva Vegas, you're welcome," The guards greeted respectfully.Silva glanced at Leonard and his eyes widened with recognition."You..!" He said with rage, making Leonard look towards his direction.Silva Vegas was the man who Leonard had met at the airport in New York, who tried molesting Vanessa Norman and he had beaten him up in the airport.Remembering that embarrassing moment, blood flowed to his brain, making him go red with anger."We meet again," Silva said with a smug smile.The first time Leonard met him, he was alone and didn't have back up but right now, he was with three of his family's most renowned fighters.Time to teach this nitwit a lesson!He had carried out an investigation on Leonard and he found out that he was just a live-in son-in-law who had been thrown out of his wife's home.A good-for-nothing actually had the guts to lay a hand on the sci
