Father and son

The next day, Mr. Larkin was determined to uncover the truth about Miller’s origins. It was already difficult, but he had to try. His first stop was the hospital where he and his wife had adopted Miller many years ago.

Walking into the hospital brought back a flood of memories. He remembered the joy of bringing Miller home, the hope they had for their family. Now, that hope felt shattered. He approached the reception desk, his heart pounding.

“Excuse me,” he said to the nurse behind the desk. “I need to speak with someone about an adoption that took place here years ago.”

The nurse looked at him curiously. “Do you have an appointment?”

“No, I don’t,” Mr. Larkin admitted. “But it’s urgent. I need to find information about my son’s biological parents.”

The nurse hesitated. “I’ll see if someone is available to help you. Please have a seat.”

Mr. Larkin sat down, his mind racing. He knew this was a long shot, but he had to try. After a few minutes, a doctor approached

    The Larkin’s regret Miller clenched his fists, glaring at his parents before storming off to his room. The anger and frustration boiled within him, making it hard to think clearly. Once inside his room, he slammed the door shut and leaned against it, breathing heavily. He couldn’t believe his own parents were turning against him. To him, they were just fake people pretending to care. He pulled out his phone and began scrolling through his contacts. He needed a place to hide, somewhere safe where his parents wouldn’t find him. He started making calls, one after another. “Hey, it’s Miller. I need a place to crash for a while. Can you help me out?” he asked his friend Mike. “Sorry, man. I can’t get involved in whatever trouble you’re in,” Mike replied before hanging up. Miller cursed under his breath and called another friend. “Jake, I’m in a bind. Can I stay with you for a bit?” Jake hesitated. “I don’t know, Miller. Things are tight around here. I can’t risk it.” After a few mo

Desperation gnawed at him as he continued his search, feeling more and more hopeless with each passing day. Just as he was about to give up, after a long stressful search, his phone rang. The caller ID showed an unknown number. He hesitated, then answered. "Hello, is this Mr. Larkin?" a woman's voice asked, skipping any formalities. "Yes, it is," he replied, a flicker of hope igniting in his chest and at the same time, curious. "I'm calling from the hospital. You were asking about information concerning Miller’s biological parents, right?" "Yes, yes, I am!" Mr. Larkin said eagerly. "It’s going to cost you. Five thousand dollars," she stated flatly. The amount was ridiculous, fo

    Unexpected meeting Mr. Larkin was deep in his investigation, his determination unstoppable despite the numerous dead ends he had encountered. He walked into the hospital, his mind was focused on finding any information about Miller’s biological parents. The hallways were bustling with activity, doctors and nurses moving quickly from one patient to another. He approached the reception desk, trying to look as composed as possible. “Excuse me,” Mr. Larkin began, “please do you have a record of all the adoption that happened here twenty-five years ago? Is there someone I can speak to?” He was sure that it was this hospital. The receptionist glanced up, giving him a polite but guarded smile. “I'm not sure, sir. Moreover, we don't usually don’t disclose such information. You would need to speak with our records department, but they’re not available at the moment.” Mr. Larkin sighed, frustration bubbling up inside him. “Is there anyone else I can talk to? It’s quite urgent.” Just

He’ll be monitoring everything. I’ll be fine, I promise."Zoey shook her head, not convinced. "I just have a bad feeling about this. That family is full of surprises. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. Please be careful."I totally understand her fears, Miller had caused her a lot of pain

With the amount of power he has? “How did this happen?” Miller shouted into the void. “The ancestor told me Kim wouldn't be any match for my powers, yet he beat me without even getting started. How can that be? Did he deceive me to set me up?”He paced back and forth, his mind a whirlwind of confusion and anger. “What kind of power does Kim possess?
