"Thank you," She even mumbled a word of thanks to the doctor and didn't notice the uncomfortable look on his face as he hurriedly packed up his tools. One of them fell on the floor, making a loud crash sound and Heaven didn't hesitate to bend down to pick it up. But she noticed how jittery the doctor's hands seemed when he collected the tool back. He didn't even remember to thank her in his nervousness and just left the room. Heaven watched him leave with a weird look on her face but shrugged. He must have a reason for acting so weird. She continued to watch her mother until she fell asleep. She was awoken a few minutes later by the guard she'd ordered to get her food. Feeling strange, Heaven asked him to stay back in the room and began to devour the food. By the time she was done, the takeaway was in an unrecognizable condition. She discarded it in the trash can and suddenly felt nature's calling. Heaven grimaced as she held her stomach. She really couldn't hold it
The doctor remained mute but he turned jittery. His palms were starting to sweat. Leo squinted at him. He is sure of what he is saying. He's had one kind of photographic memory since he was young so he wouldn't easily forget people that left a kind of impact on him except the insignificant ones. He ignored the whispers around him and grabbed the scared doctor by the collar, almost choking him. "I asked you a question and what I expect from you is an answer. Where is the doctor that was on duty earlier?" "Sir... There were so many... Doctors on duty... So how am I... Supposed to know... The one you are... Talking about?," The doctor managed to get the words out of his mouth with great difficulty. That was when Leo realized that he was choking him so he loosened his tight hold on the collar a little but not letting go completely. He moved closer to the doctor with a sinister smile. "Don't you dare try to act smart with me? You must know something at least an answer to my q
Larson chuckled. "Is that doubt I sense in you officer Joe? Why don't you go on investigating the actual murderer starting from the doctor instead of wasting your time bickering with me!" Joe was so infuriated. The bastard dared to use his own words against him. Has he no respect for the officer of law!? Feeling like he might explode with anger if he continued to stay there, he turned to the doctor who had long since shrunk back in fear at the argument. He just pulled the poor man by the collar and dragged him out of the ward. "Brother, do you think we can rely on these cops to get to the root of the matter?," Miles spoke for the first time. His words were however lowered and meant for Wave's eyes only. Wave rubbed his tired eyes. His hair seemed to have grown whiter even more. He sighed,"We have known Joe since he was installed into the post of a mere sergeant so I know we can trust him. Besides, he owes his entire life and what he had become to Victoria. So he definitely
"Hire a P.I?," Leo repeated with an uncertain look as they walked out of the elevator into the reception of the hospital. Larson nodded. "Yes boss. The cops are totally useless in this case. The detectives are no different themselves. They are from the station and could be easily bought over to twist the evidence against you," He spoke softly because of the nurses and doctors that were walking past them. Once the coast was clear, he continued,"So the best advice I can give you is for you to hire a private investigator so we can get to the root of this. No matter how a person hides, he can't hide from the face of technology. They will be able to bring an end to this in no time and also refute the wrong allegations against you." Two nurses passed by and he stopped talking again till they had left. "You have just said it yourself that you don't have many fans in the family. One Greene individual isn't enough to take you down but imagine if the whole family gathered against you? How
"Boss, it seems like they are here for you. Should I tell them that we are not related so they can let me go," Jake whispered as soon as they were cornered round the car with no place to go. Leo looked at Jake incredulously. What's he saying!? Pfft! Larson couldn't hold back his chuckle and this seemed to infuriate the thugs cause they wondered what was making their captives laugh in this tense situation. "Boss, why are you looking at me that way? Can't you fight?," Jake finished his sentence with a gasp. Leo didn't bother to lie and immediately shook his head sideways to indicate a negative answer. Jake's image of Leo being a powerful Ceo crumbled at once. It was his turn to give his boss a weird look. "How can you not know how to fight? All CEOs know how to fight. Isn't that how it is supposed to be?" He sounded like he was trying to convince himself. "Isn't that your job? Shouldn't you protect the Ceo?," Leo sounded irritated. "Looks like our presence didn't frigh
Joe walked into the ward with a solemn expression but was quick to notice that the ambience of the room seemed weird. It was weird but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was weird in it. Wave and Leo walked to him immediately when they noticed him. He briefly glanced around. Miles was nowhere to be seen. Huh? Where did he go? "Were you able to find anything?," Wave asked as soon as they got to him. Joe sighed and rubbed his eyes. In just a day, a case has made him more exhausted than he has ever been in his entire life. "No," His reply was concise. "No?," Leo repeated. "What do you mean no? Did you or did you not find the person you were searching for?" Joe was irked by Leo's questioning tone. His eyes narrowed as he snapped,"The man is dead! He was murdered before we even got there. The murderer obviously knew we were gonna hunt the doctor down so he got there first before us and silenced him." Leo and Wave fell silent. The latter fell into a deep thought. He now
The white walls weren't the first thing Heaven noticed when her eyes finally flew open. It was the woman beside her, looking at her worriedly. She immediately tried to sit up, arousing the woman's attention. "No honey, you should lay back," Grandma Emily hurriedly held her down gently and arranged the pillows behind her carefully. Others in the room came closer. "How do you feel now?," Miles asked her, the worry evident in his dim eyes. "I'm fine." Grandma Emily noticed that Heaven's voice was hoarse so she reached out to the jug of clean water beside the bed and poured out a cup. Then she had to help Heaven sit up again and hold the cup till the latter emptied it. "I had the weirdest dream," Heaven suddenly spoke, startling the three people in the room. Before anyone could speak or ask her what her dream was, she explained,"I had a dream that mom was dead. She was lying in a bloody bed with lifeless eyes." Then she laughed. Her words and reaction was making the peopl
Leo's phone vibrated and after he checked the message, he looked at Wave. "Grandfather, we will be able to leave soon if no problem crops up. The chauffeur is on his way. Do you want to come along or would you rather visit later?" Wave was about to answer but Miles suddenly butt in,"Wait what? What are you two talking about?" The hoarseness of his voice was clear enough. Probably due to his old age. He looked at Wave and then glared at Leo as usual. When none of them refused to answer, realization finally dawned on him. "Brother!," He called out in shock. "You are really gonna let our granddaughter live with him. Didn't Joe explain to you that he is the prime suspect of these murders? Besides, who else would benefit the most if James and Victoria were out of this world and now you want Heaven to leave with him!?" Leo's lips twitched with anger. He gets that they don't like him but why slander him baselessly like this!? "That's my final decision," Wave sounded tired. He rea
