Gerald turned to look at the man in shock.
"Who are you?" He asked the old man. The old man was holding a black card in his hand which he stretched towards Gerald. Gerald raised his eyebrow in confusion as he looked at the man. "What do you want from me?" Gerald asked the old man. "Please, I need treatment." The old man begged. "How did you find me?" Gerald asked him. "I heard your medical skills were exceptional, so I helped you get out of prison. I hope you can save me." The old man answered. Gerald was a miracle doctor which was how he was able to make money while he was in prison. His reputation has far preceded him and he was known far and wide by lots of people but his wife did not know who he truly was. Gerald looked at the old man and waved his head at him. "Go away, I am not in the mood to treat anyone." Gerald turned the old man down. He was still reeling from the pain and betrayal of his wife so he was not in the mood to treat anybody. "Please, help me." The old man begged. He showed Gerald the black card that was in his hands. Gerald did not need to look hard to know that the old man was a very wealthy person for two reasons. The first reason was that only people in high places could afford to meet him. His true identity was a top secret and only a few were privileged to know him as the price for his services was usually high. The second reason was that only the wealthiest of the wealthy could use the black card. To be given the black card, a person has to have billions of dollars in his account which was why Gerald knew that the man was a wealthy man. "What do you want me to do with it?" Gerald asked the man nonchalantly. He was too heartbroken to be moved by the black card. As far as he was concerned, no amount of money could heal him of his pain and hurt. "Tell me any amount you want and I promise you that I will pay, I can even give you the card to withdraw any amount you like, all I just want is to be treated." The old man pleaded with Gerald. Gerald knew that he could make back all the money that his ex-wife had taken from him and double it just by treating this old man. "See old man, money is not my problem! I am not in the mood to treat anyone because my wife just divorced me." Gerald revealed this to the old man. The old man felt bad for Gerald and also for himself because he realized that he had come at the wrong time. "You can see now that I need healing more than you," Gerald said to the old man. The old man refused to give up. He had promised himself that if he was finally able to locate Gerald, he would not leave until he got treated. The old man had been searching for Gerald for up to a year. When he was finally able to locate him, he was told that Gerald was in prison. The old man used his influence to process Gerald's release from prison unknown to Gerald. The old man was told that Gerald would be released that day and he came to wait for him. "Please, even if you don't want to treat me, then take a look at me first." The old man pleaded. Gerald was already getting tired of the old man's begging and he knew that the old man would not leave him until he had gotten what he wanted. Gerald could not blame the old man because it was usually difficult to see him so anyone who managed to see him always tried to get what they wanted from him before they left. "Fine!" Gerald said. "Thank you!" The old man smiled happily. Gerald told the old man to sit down on the bench and checked him. "You are not dying anytime soon old man because your sickness won't be life-threatening in the short term," Gerald explained to the old man. The old man sighed in relief, he began to heap praises upon Gerald. Gerald stood up immediately and was about to leave but the old man held him back. "Please, what can I do to make you change your mind." The old man inquired from Gerald. "I have told you, old man, I am not in the mood," Gerald repeated. He removed the old man's hands from his body and began to walk away. “Please at least take this card, it's for the check you just made for me. My principle does not allow me to take advantage of others.” Gerald had met many rich people in prison, but none as generous as this man. There was no reason to refuse. "Get the medicine and find me," Gerald whispered in the old man's ear. The old man knew that money alone would not be able to convince Gerald. He thought about what Gerald had just told him and he decided that he knew exactly what would convince Gerald. “Call Grace”, he said to his guard, “I've found the one she's going to marry.”Related Chapters

"I came to pick up a Mr. Gerald." The man explained. Fiona on hearing Gerald's name burst into laughter. The man was surprised by her sudden laughter and could not help but wonder if something was wrong with her."And why are you laughing?" The man asked Fiona."I think there is a mistake somewhere because the person you are claiming that you were sent to pick up is an ex-convict! I mean he just came out of prison!" Fiona told the man.Fiona could not bring herself to believe that Gerald who just came out of prison would be picked up by a fleet of luxurious cars. The man got tired of Fiona's complaints and asked her to show him Gerald. Fiona still thinking that everything was a prank pointed at Gerald.

The fleet of cars stopped at the Metro Hotel and John quickly rushed down to open the car door for Gerald. "We are here sir," John announced to Gerald as he opened the door. Gerald came out of the car and stood in awe of the magnificent Hotel. Metro Hotel was the top Hotel in the city. It was a thing of pride to tell someone that you went to the Metro Hotel for dinner not to talk about lodging there. "Please come with me, sir," John said. Gerald followed John and they both entered the hotel. John told Gerald that Mr. Wellington was in the VIP section of the Hotel. Gerald followed John to the VIP section but John stopped at the lobby. "I'm afraid this is the limit I can go," John explained. "I don't understand what you mean," Gerald said with a confused look on his face. "The thing is, I am not qualified to enter the VIP section of the hotel," John explained. "Okay, so how do I get to see Mr. Wellington?" Gerald asked still confused. "A designated receptionist would com

The woman had a surprise look on her face as she heard what the old man said. "Grandpa, I don't understand! How can this thug here be the miracle doctor you told me about?" The woman asked, standing up. Gerald was mad at her for calling him a thug but he decided to control his anger out of respect to the old man. "With all due respect sir, I do not appreciate your granddaughter calling me a thug! It's an insult to my person." Gerald complained. "Oh please cut the crap!" The woman shouted at Gerald. "You are not just a thug, but a pervert also!" Gerald became angry. He could not understand why the woman kept insisting that he was a pervert when everything was just a mistake. He regretted his good intentions to help her. He would have just allowed her to fall down and maybe then she would not have been insulting him right now. The old man saw that things were beginning to escalate between Gerald and his granddaughter. So he decided to stop the matter from escalating. "Grace.

Gerald was surprised that the old man had another reason for calling him. So he sat down. "What is it, Mr. Wellington? Gerald asked the old man Grace also wondered what her grandfather had said. As far as she knew, her grandfather had only told her that he had found a doctor who could cure him. Mr. Wellington looked at Gerald and then at Grace. "I called you here because I wish you could marry my granddaughter, Grace." The old man said. Gerald and Grace were both surprised. Gerald wondered why the old man would want him to marry his granddaughter while Grace was also surprised at why her grandfather would want her to marry a stranger. Gerald was thinking if the old man did not trust him enough to heal him, and wanted to use his granddaughter as leverage, because if he get married to a member of his family, he would have no choice but to treat him well. Gerald knew that he was not ready to remarry again, not after the recent betrayal he just experienced from his ex-wife, Fion

She e greeted coldly. "I can see that you arrived quite early and on time." She said. Gerald smiled and ignored a cold attitude, and then he said, "How are you? You look good in your tight suit," he said. Grace frowned at the compliment. Then Gerald continued to stare at her, breast button, and she became angry.

He moved towards Gerald again and tried to punch him, but Gerald overpowered him and kicked him in the chin, and he fell down on the floor again. He could not believe that Gerald was stronger than him."How come? How come you are stronger than me? I am the disciple of a master." Ivan said to Gerald. Gerald ignored Evan's question and looked at him contemptuously. He walked towards him to where he was and stepped on his chest. "Now, you must apologize. Who is useless? Who is the useless one among the both of us?" Gerald asked him.Ivan refused to back down, he refused to accept defeat, and instead he continued to threaten Gerald.
