Sheila alighted from her car and ran into the St Louie hospital. The prestigious hospital Pa Riley had built in the name of his first son. The hall wasn't crowded at all but in the room Pa Riley was, it was crowdy. The doctor advised everyone to leave but his words weren't obeyed. When Sheila enters Karson turns to stare at her as well as everyone. He scoffed lightly then look away. " Took you long enough to come here for your grandpa. I assume you will be dining with that thief Rex Louie " " Rex Louie isn't a thief Uncle and I'm sorry I arrived late. How is Grandpa doing? " " Will die at any time" Khalil replied but then quickly slapped a palm to his lips. Everyone exchanged expressions at this and Lady Thelma at last broke silent. She stepped out of the room and pull Sheila out as well. The two made their way to the silent balcony and Lady Thelma turn to stare at her adopted daughter. " What were you doing with Rex Louie? You shouldn't be near that young man. You know his so
Rex was lying on the bed but he wasn't asleep. Instead, he was busy reading his book and trying to catch up. Gael is in bed too but he was busy with his cell phone at that moment while Emilio is busy taking his bath. The boys were so engrossed in their stuff that when Emilio's cell phone began to buzz, it captures the attention of Gael and Rex. " Emilio you have a call! " Rec holler. " Coming! " He replied from the shower. Seconds later he comes out with his towel around his waist and answered the call from his mother. " Mum, hi "" My dear. How are you today? I am sure your beloved Friends would take care of you " " Of course. I'm fine. I skipped class today but I will surely attend tomorrow " The lady on the other end stopped for some time and then replied as she tries to keep her voice gentle. " Well, I would hate your grade to drop Emilio. You should rest but keep being brilliant. I would be worried if..." " If you got low grades because that is what happens to me in the
" Louie has been having a visitor and you didn't let me know? " Karson thundered angrily and at once Belinda shivers in fear. " Forgive me, sir. I never thought he is harmful. He introduced himself as a friend of his niece " " Who permitted him, hmm? Who permitted him to see Louie? " How long has he been coming here? What did he do with him? Do you try to get the reason why he had come? " Nurse Belinda is beyond scared and agitated. She couldn't seem to part her lips for words." The...the receptionist will know better sir. She takes everyone's information when they... Comes here " She finally replied with her voice shaking. Karson didn't bother to reply to her. Instead, he headed at once to the receptionist's table which he had ignored on his way in. When he arrived there, the lady quickly began to feel insecure and antsy. Everyone knows Karson Riley as a vicious man. No one would love to be on his bad side. " Have you ever taken one Rex Louie's information? " He asked as he f
" This is crazy. Rex! There is nowhere you can hide from now on. Karson will forever come for you " " Gael keep your voice low, " Emilio said as they troop into their room. " What? Keep my voice Low? And why would I do that? Karson will never stop hunting him now. He shouldn't have gone to the asylum home " Rex didn't reply. He only finds his seat on his bed and bows his head as he got lost in his thoughts. " Wait a second guys. Who went to the asylum home? " Emilio asked in confusion but then added. " Rex did you..." " Yes, he did " Gael quickly retorted. " He went there without informing anyone. Now Karson will know something is going on between him and Louie. Does your life mean nothing to you? " " Gael that's enough. He only went there to see his dad and..." " You gonna take his side now huh? Emilio you know perfectly well Rex won't listen "" That's enough, please " Rex mutters softly as he tried not to lose patience for the first time. " Oh really? That's never..." " En

The car stopped abruptly before the asylum home and Gael alighted very swiftly. He has it in mind that Rex won't survive for too long. The only person who could save him now is Louie. When Gael enters the asylum home and emerges at the receptionist's table, his hands and clothes were covered in Rex's blood. " I'm sorry, do you know where the room of Louie is? " He asked the receptionist who was horrified by the blood in his clothes. She recognized him as one of the playboys so she didn't ask more questions. " Your information please " She requested.
