Michael jerked his eyes open and looked around the room until his eyes slowly stop and stared at Ciara. “You’re awake. That’s a relief.” She sighed tiredly with a glare on her face, “Are you disappointed that I’m alive?” He smirks at her “I was only a bit surprised you opened your eyes, there no need to keep whining about.” She rolled her eyes and stood up from her chair.“Where’s Karina?” Michael asked Ciara while getting up fr the bed.“She went to get you medicine.” Ciara answered. “Jess the venom was called death depart which was poisonous and could instantly kill someone.” She explained to him.“It a good thing it was only able to knock me out for hours then. He shrugged his shoulders gazing at her with a smirk on his face. Just them the room door opened and Karina walked in majestically with a wan by her side, they bothe have an overwhelming powerful aura as they took every step forward.Anyone could tell they weren’t people to mess with.“Thank goodness you’re awake Michael.”
In the hospital Lucy’s grandfather is laying in the sick bed unconscious, his face had turned pale as though he was already dead but was very much alive.The family members had all gathered and wondered how the old man had suddenly fallen sick.“He was never this weak, so how could he just fall sick all of a sudden?”“It’s probably because he’s getting older or something, even though he looks strong outside, inside he must have been dying and didn’t want to say it.”Everyone gave him a pitiful gaze as he hauled on the bed. Bolting into the room Lucy looks around until her eyes landed on her grandfather, she walked towards him and held his palm.“The doctors said there’s a higher chance that he won’t make it.” Her mother came to her side and told her with a grim look on her face.“What do you mean?” She gasped. “He was fine earlier this morning so how could he ne sick and dying all of a sudden?” All this was making her head spin as they we’re unbelievable. “Where the hell is the doctor
Michael ran as fast as he could immediately he heard the news. His legs shaky as he did.Though, he was no longer with Lucy but, he still cares about Graps, Lucy’s grandfather and hearing the news that Lucy’s grandfather was rushed to the hospital was enough to get him running without catching a breath.After he hailed a taxi, there was traffic and he had to resort to getting down the taxi and hailing a motorcycle that would give him a ride to the hospital.When he arrived at the hospital, the nurses said they were given a strict warning not to let him in and he knew that it had to be Lucy because she definitely wasn't over their divorce yet. He pleaded with them that he just had to see what was wrong with but, didn't listen and when they could no longer take his pleading, he was thrown out by the security men. But, as he sat at the entrance of the hospital, Alice, Lucy’s mother, came out and allowed him into the hospital ward were graps was.~His breath was feeble and slow.Lucy and
“I don't think you guys are listening to me. You are putting his life in danger. What is happening to graps is not going to be solved by surgery? If anything, surgery will worsen his issue. You have to listen to me, Lucy.”Michael grabbed Lucy. Immediately, Lucy withdraws from his grip and hits him across the face.“Get the hell out of here. I don't want to see your disgusting face around me again. Get out!”“I'm not leaving.”Michael stubbornly confirmed again.“Youd need to deal with right here if you want me to treat him. I don't want anybody bring disruption to my job.”Shaun angrily dashes out of the hospital ward the same time Liam walks in with two nurses. Liam tried calling Shaun back but, he didn't respond to him.“What's happening? Why is he leaving?”Lucy scoffs angrily. She grabs Michael and pulls him along with her, shoving him out of the ward aggressively.“Listen, you little weasel, get out of here and get out of my life for good! I hate you and everyone here also hates
Shaun, with his charismatic demeanor, assured Lucy that he possessed extensive knowledge of herbs and alternative medicine. “Are you saying that I didn’t know what I’m doing!”He claimed that Michael, a seasoned expert in conventional medicine, was merely trying to undermine him out of professional rivalry. “Not at all, I was only letting you know that the procedure you’re taking would lead to a fatal loss.”Despite Shaun's insistence, Michael persisted in warning them about the potential dangers lurking in Shaun's unconventional approach. “I’m piste he’s only jealous that someone more professional finally shows up.”Torn between trust and skepticism, Lucy found herself in a difficult position. She respected Shaun's confidence but couldn't ignore Michael's years of experience. Ultimately, Lucy decided to let Shaun proceed but with caution. Her grandfather's life depended on this choice, and she couldn't afford to make a hasty decision.Shaun, fueled by determination, gathered a varie
The air was thick with anticipation as Shaun eagerly observed Lucy's grandfather after administering his supposed antidote. Confident in the effectiveness of his concoction, Shaun's eyes sparkled with hope. However, within moments, the atmosphere shifted drastically as the old man's condition took a horrifying turn.Foam formed at his mouth, and he convulsed violently, blood emerging from his ears and nose. Panic gripped Shaun and Lucy as they witnessed the unexpected and alarming reaction. The room filled with desperate cries, and the weight of uncertainty pressed upon them.Despite the chaos, Shaun attempted to mask his concern. Sweating with anxiety, he insisted to Lucy that such extreme symptoms might be a natural reaction to the antidote. He urged her to wait and observe, assuring her that the situation would improve. Lucy, torn between hope and fear, hesitated but clung to the possibility that Shaun's concoction might still prove effective.Amidst the turmoil, Michael swiftly to
A little hope flickered like a distant flame as Lucy's grandfather showed signs of improvement after Michael's medicine. The old man's weakened state seemed to be gradually turning around, offering a glimmer of hope to the worried faces surrounding him. However, amidst the tentative relief, an undercurrent of tension lingered.Shaun, unwilling to admit his mistake, insisted to Lucy that even without Michael's intervention, the old man would have recovered in seconds. He painted Michael as an opportunist, claiming credit for a success that was supposedly inevitable. Lucy, torn between the conflicting claims, observed her grandfather with cautious optimism.Amused by Shaun's attempts to deflect blame, Michael couldn't let the charade continue. With a knowing smile, he challenged Shaun, questioning if he truly believed in the efficacy of his own "antidote." Michael proposed a dare, asking Shaun to demonstrate his confidence by taking the concoction himself. Shaun hesitated, stuttering an
“Hi, Michael, about the other day, I am really sorry, I didn't mean…” “Hello Michael, so I didn't mean to speak the way I did I was just worried about my grandfather and….. No that is too cheerful” “Michael can I have a word, I shouldn’t have spoken to you the way I did and now I feel really bad and…Nop, Lucy… too serious” “Michael, I just want to say thank you and I am sorry for the way …Argh!…” Lucy grunted pacing around her room, with her phone in her hands, contemplating in how to apologize about what she did to Michael. She pulled a chair and sit “God, pull your shit together, Lucy, he is your ex husband so what? He saved your grandfather and you want to do is express the way you feel, apologize for doubting him and.. And., and” she whined, cozied up in her couch, staring at his number without having the courage to call him. She got up, heading toward her kitchen to make something for herself, she pulled out the cabinet, searching for anything without having to go through th
