Though Leo was still confident in his skills, he felt it was needed he withdrew on time, he didn't want any further accusations from the royal family member.
"These people wouldn't believe me no matter what I do, it's best I withdraw now!" Picking his phone, he was about to leave. Melissa sensed this, she became unhappy.
"Please begin the treatment, you don't have to mind all these bunch of fools!" She gingered, before he leaves.
"If it's only you, your highness, I'd stay but I'd like to fulfill their wish so that they might have peace of mind." He insisted.
"And I insist," the senior doctor said. "If you like you take it, if you don't like it, you leave, my princess," he said with a very serious face. "From the facts I've derived about the king's condition, it's a sign of cerebral palsy. He would be bedridden for life in the next three months if no surgery is conducted on him."
Colton was back into the room without them knowing.
"I know what she's trying to do, she wants the king to die so she can assume the throne!" He declared, pointing his hand at her. She turned, furrowing her eyes.
"I know I'm the cause of all that's going on, I'd leave this room for you doctors. Let the wish of Prince Colton be done!" Leo finally said.
He didn't want in the act of showing his patriotism, he would get himself into huge trouble. He knew this was a small case compared to other cases he had been solving, but with the level of mistrust on him, he couldn't just handle this.
He bowed before the princess, opening the door and he left the room. Princess Melissa was frustrated, she went mute and felt defeated but Leo did this for his good. He was glad he was out of trouble. Prince Colton was now in control, so he ordered the doctors which Steve brought to come forward. Melissa went silent, folding her arms and watched what was going on.
The king has been in a disturbing condition for the past three months when he was brought into the medical facility after showing signs of occasional insanity. All efforts have been in vain. The primary wish of the royal family, especially Melissa, is to see the king return to a calm demeanor and take back his position.
He had lost the ability to think well and act cordially as a king.
"First of all, a drip would be needed," the doctor said.
They installed the water into the drip syringe and injected it into his body, from here they were going to transport him through a stretcher to the theater so they can kickstart the surgery. Before they could do anything after placing him on a drip, the king started to shake violently on the bed, his eyes went pale.
The next minute, blood started to ooze out of his nose and ears. The heart beat and pulse recording machine showed his heartbeat increasing so fast, and his pulse going off that of a normal human being. This was a few minutes after Leo left, if certain, it wasn't up to ten minutes, by now he would be downstairs.
"What's happening?" Colton screamed in frustration.
"Didn't I tell you?" Melissa yelled at him, hitting him on the back.
"Should you be blaming me or the doctors in charge?" He defended.
"What did you say when I asked Leo to treat dad?" The princess held him on the throat, almost strangling him. He fought to break free.
"If this is happening with experienced doctors, what do you think would happen with that brat? The king would just die at once!" He still didn't accept the fact.
Melissa stamped her foot in anger. "This boy, you still don't wanna learn your lesson!"
More doctors hearing the commotion rushed into the room to see what was happening. Seeing the king in this manner and the doctors who were already in here confused and frustrated, they tried their best to revive the king.
When Melissa saw that their techniques weren't working, the king was still shaking terribly, she hurriedly pulled up her phone to call Leo. "I'm sure he hasn't reached the gate of the hospital," she muttered to herself.
The call rang, then went through. Leo's voice came up.
"Hello, your highness?"
"Please we need your help urgently here! The doctors which my uncle brought have made my dad's condition go worse. He's dying........" Great pain could be heard in her voice. "He's shaking terribly and blood is oozing out of him…… "
This greatly touched Leo that he had no choice but to return back. When he arrived at the room, it was turbulent as the king's breath was drastically increasing, his heartbeat was getting close to that of a dead person.
The most senior doctor immediately shouted. "What's he doing here again? If he's able to do this work well, I'll kneel down in public, before everyone in this hospital and call him sir." He was angry that the princess decided to call Leo again instead of trying another method.
"And I'll marry him should he revive my dad, the king at this critical moment." The princess was serious about this. Leo heard this, he almost froze in shock but he knew he needed to pay attention to what was most important at the moment which was reviving the king.
"How can the princess of this country, who's next in line to be on the seat of government, marry a poor, unpopular guy like me?" He questioned deep within himself.
"This sounds too good to be true!" But this motivated him to try harder, his best to revive the king.
He set to do his job!
Leo slapped the king behind his right ear and then his left ear, twice. He began to massage it slowly, people standing around wondered why he was doing, especially the doctor that said he would kneel before him should he revive the king. "What's this fool doing here, let him get out of here. He's only going to compound issues!" He moved forward to push Leo off the side of the king's bed but Melissa came up in front of him, standing on his way and giving him deadly stares. "If you go near him again, I'll stab you!"He was scared and retreated. Before a calm and loving princess which everyone loved could say this, then it was serious. "Why are you always bent on causing confusion here?" She talked back at him. The doctor tried to avoid the gaze. Everyone's attention once returned to Leo and the king, when they watched his heartbeat and pulse, it was reversing back to normal. The next moment the king was seated on his bed, calm and quite thoughtful. "What's happening? What happened
Melissa and Leo sat in the backseat of a silver Benz.“Mr. Leo, this is the royal family’s honor crest. I'll love you to have this as a sign of recognition, you've been a great, useful help to us today! It's a thing to remember!" “With this, you will be treated as an honored guest in any event held at the palace and outside, you will be a VIP and you will be treated as such. I haven't forgotten my promise of marrying you as well, you know, you're such a nice, cool guy, don't know why your ex-wife let you go.”“Princess, I don’t need this.” Leo shook his head. He sensed if he collected, it would look like he's greedy or saved the king because of what he'd gain. “Don’t worry, Leo. This is just a personal gesture,” Melissa said with a smile. "You need to accept it for memory's sake!" “That’s very kind of you, Princess. Thank you very much.” Leo bowed and accepted the card.This was a golden gift with a diamond glass over it. Since it was a gift from her, it would come in handy. As the
"What?” Leo was as shocked as hell. He never thought this is what Melissa would say. Taking a closer look, he found that her beauty was different from Clara’s. She was more slender, had bigger boobs and ass, long straight hair, her face was very smooth, her skin glowing like she used a body treatment from space. She could ensnare men with her bewitching charms.“Why are you so shocked?” Melissa’s breasts heaved as she laughed heartily at Leo’s face. Her scent caught him in this seduction. It was all Leo could do to tear his eyes away from her voluptuous curves. The more he looked at her, the harder it was not to gawk at her figure. He was being tempted so hard. “Leo, back to the issue at hand. I need to ask a favor from you again.” Melissa ’s expression grew serious, like she wasn't the one that just tried to seduce him.“What is it?” Leo asked.“You know that all my bodyguards are stationed at the hospital, so I don’t have anybody to protect me. Now that this incident has happened,
"Clara, nice to meet you. How may I be of help to you?” Leo’s eyes widened when he saw Clara walking toward him, but his gaze turned cold in a moment.“What a coincidence seeing you here.”Clara choked back the speech she had prepared to explain herself and greeted Leo stiffly, especially seeing the princess. She thought she was with him for only that day. If someone had told her this was her ex's new love interest, she wouldn't have believed it. Who would have thought that it was true? Although they were divorced, Clara felt a little uncomfortable seeing her ex-husband being with another woman. She was kind of jealous. “Leo, is she a friend of yours?” Melissa asked. She sized Clara up with her eyes, scanning her from head to toe. She was hostile towards Clara, seeing her as not her class. Clara widened her eyes, is the princess who was her acquaintance no longer recognizing her but this was an act from the princess. “She’s my ex-wife,” Leo replied.“Really?” Melissa opened her eye
Seeing Clara walking with the princess and her ex towards him, Henry became puzzled. "Hey baby, what's going on here?" The princess' approaching scared him. She was staring at him directly because of his panic, her influence made him want to dissolve away."Henry, this is my ex." Clara then turned towards him. "Leo, this is my recent man!" She feigned a smile, "I'm glad I met him immediately after we divorced.""When you should even be sad losing him?" Melissa asked."Who, your highness?" She pretended as if she didn't know."Your ex I mean, you know you've lost a jewel. His type is rare among men?"Clara blinked her eyes, forcing to look away, although her emotions were getting more and more obvious but she couldn't help. She didn't want to show it but pretended as though all is well with her being with Henry."I see no reason, with due respect, your highness," he bowed. ".... how you should take happiness in such a person as this wretched idiot!""Who knows perhaps my poverty and f
The evening was set for the introduction of companies that would be enlisted into the Royal Business Affiliates, these were groups of companies that would be partnering directly with the royal family, each of them had their Ambassadors who would be representing them. Clara stood in for the Verizon Group, though not a great company, it was believed that at least she stood a chance being that she was the Duchess. Right there, she wanted to get into this so her position would skyrocket. "This would be a great milestone for me," she leaned and whispered to Elene who giggled. "I might likely become the next prime minister of this country!" Clara made a little dance but with a wide smile. "Elene, what do you think?" Elene blushed, giggling. "That would be great! I can't wait for the list to be announced. It would be kudos to us!" Elene was glad because if her Duchess could move up to such a great position as the prime minister, her position and salary as well would also move up. No lon
Leo stared at the documents which were handed over to him, Jeff stood by his side and was staring at what he was going to do with them. He thought about this for a while, then a thought rang in his mind."Yes, I know what to do exactly, I'll make her work under me. I'll make her join the royal family but she would be under me, let's see what Henry would do." He grinned with a sinister expression.Jeff saw him nodding his head and didn't know what was going on, he became confused."Hope there's no issue, sir?" "What?" Leo widened his eyes, influencing him."No.... Nothing!" He stammered. He tried to remove his eyes away from staring into his face. It seemed as though Leo was persisting, so he decided to explain further."I just saw you shaking your head, and grinning......" He stammered, towards the end his voice trailed. Leo wasn't happy with this, he raised his eyes and glared at him briefly. "I'm sorry!" He apologized."I didn't mean to meddle in your business.""Good!" Leo nodded,
"How come we are the first to be chosen into the Affiliates?" The head of the Verizon Group who just arrived not long ago asked, he was shocked as well. He didn't expect this. Seeing the top companies that were contesting to be among the eight, he wondered. "Yes, Verizon is a small group but we made it!" His deputy said. "I wonder why they wouldn't care to know who made this happen!" Henry whispered into Clara's ears. He was eager to hear his name talked about. Clara who was so glad and enthusiastic to let people know that it's her fiance who related to the princess about this moved ahead to let them know. "All thanks to my fiance, he actually spoke with the princess, delivering good words to her which has brought us to this position!" Elene moved forward to the head of the company and complained to him how Leo was going to spoil their plan, seeing that no one could challenge Leo, she decided to meet with this stout, no-nonsense president of the group. "I want to see him cautione
