"He was, at least that was what the doctor told us," Q continued. "But the murderer's next victim was going to be Leo and worse still, we didn't know the culprit. So we all hatched a plan." "We? Are you working with the cops and the detective?" Wave questioned with a confused look. Q nodded to indicate 'yes'. "We had the doctor sedate him with a heavy dose of tranquilizer to take him out for days." "Why!? That's dangerous to his health!" Heaven shrieked. She could still remember the time she had been injected with that back then at the hospital. Just a little dose and she felt like she was in a different world entirely. She couldn't even describe how her body felt at that moment so how is Leo handling it now? No wonder he looked so weak. Having to deal with tranquilizers in your body system for a couple of days is no small deal. "We needed a bait to lure the culprit out," It was Larson that answered this time. "What other better bait would there be if not the next victim hi
As the medical team were rushing to push Leo's bed out, Heaven and the rest were coming in. She stopped at the doorway when she saw Leo's expression of pain and how he was turning even more pale. He also appeared to be struggling to breath because he was gasping. What happened to him!? She didn't get a chance to reach out to him as Q exclaimed,"Cyanide! He was poisoned with cyanide!?" The family stepped into the room. The man in the mask looked around and laughed. "What a great family reunion!" His eyes rested on Heaven who shook from the strong killing intent she felt from him. "You should have been next b*tch," He spat out. "But never mind, at least I managed to eliminate one of you. I bet that bastard won't last for long. He'll—" His words were interrupted as Wave suddenly walked forward when one least expected and gave the man in the mask a good punch in the face. His body vibrated with the anger he was feeling. "Grandfather!" Heaven and Joe called respectively. T
The room fell silent, well except for Heaven's cries, there was no other sound in the room as they all waited in anticipation of Miles' answer. The culprit however remained silent. But in a minute, he burst out in a loud, evil cackle. "Why should I answer you? None of you have the right to ask me that, including the boy himself. Since James was willing to take the secret of that boy's background to his grave, why should I be the one to say it?" Everyone exchanged a look of confusion. Heaven on the other hand was lost. She hugged her knees, tears cascading down like rain as she thought... Thought of everything. Wave's brows furrowed. He thought back to the day he had told Miles not to touch the boy cause no one knew his background and James wouldn't just choose anyone as his heir. How didn't he notice that Miles seemed to be hiding something? He sneered coldly. His powerful aura filled the room as he stated,"James took it to his grave. You will do the same! It doesn't ma
Wave's squinted eyes glanced round the room and when he noticed that no one was paying attention to them, he covered the little distance between him and Q. "Do you have any info about it?" He whispered. Q displayed his signature smile and nodded. "Actually grandfather... Every information about Leo's background that Mr Miles and Hawk knows is from me. I released every single info I found about him to them and they fell right into my trap." Wave paused as he thought of something. He seemed to have realized that Q called him grandfather. "What did you say?" "Huh?" Q was puzzled. "What was your first word?" Wave asked again. "Actually...?" "No. The one after that." "Grand..." Q paused and his eyes collided with Wave piercing eyes. He raised his fingers and placed them on his lips like he wanted to stop himself or swallow his words. "Complete your statement," Wave demanded. Q suddenly felt his head was itchy. He was suddenly so nervous. "It was a slip of tongue,
There was a sudden deafening silence in the room. Everyone literally froze at Q's revelation. "What?" Detective Tom managed to choke out. Q nodded. "Yes, my name is Quan Greene." "Which of the Greene's?" It was after detective Tom asked this question did he realize how stupid it sounds. He turned to Wave. "Granduncle, do you secretly have an illegitimate child outside that gave birth to this grandson?" As if on cue, grandma Emily and Wave glared at him at the same time causing him to seal his lips with his fingers. "Don't say nonsense and don't call me granduncle. I am not your relative. Do we look alike?" Wave retorted. "What's going on? Why is the private investigator saying his name is Quan Greene? How is he related to us?" Grandma Emily immediately demanded an answer. Wave ignored them and moved forward. He suddenly held Q and shook the boy. The sudden attack caused Q to feel light-headed. "You stinky child! You've been here the whole time yet you didn't come
"We should head there and wait for the operation to be over," Detective Tom suggested and others nodded in agreement to their words. As they left the ward and headed to the operation theater, Larson could still feel something was wrong. He glanced at everyone and turned to Q. "Say..." He whispered. "What happened while I was gone?" "Nothing," Q didn't even look at him. Larson took a stance against the walls as grandma Emily led Heaven to a bench. They had gotten to the operation theater and the bulb was still showing the red light to indicate that there was an ongoing operation. Larson pulled Q back when he saw that the latter was going to join grandma Emily and Heaven on the bench. He moved closer and asked again in a hushed tone,"Nothing?" "Why are you being so nosy all of a sudden? I already told you nothing happened." "I believe you are lying," Larson glared at him but this didn't faze the latter. "If you really don't want to tell, I'll get answers from the detective." "As
"Mr Greene is fine and out of danger now. There weren't complications during the surgery since we were able to detect the poison early so he is perfectly okay," the doctor watched the people around him breath in relief. They were now in a fresh, clean Vvip ward and Leo was lying unconscious on the bed with Heaven sitting by his side. Receiving no questions, the doctor continued with his speech,"We would just like to put him under observation for some days because the poison weakened his body system and coupled with the large portion of anesthesia found in his blood—" Q coughed nervously when he heard this and subconsciously moved away from Wave who turned to the doctor with a puzzled look. "Anesthesia?" The doctor nodded at Wave's question. "Yes, we discovered that he had been injected with an overdose of anesthesia." Detective Tom itched his head nervously and exchanged a look with Q. Wave looked furious once again. "Just how far was Miles willing to go to get
Leo looked up at the collection of pictures on the table and a soft look suddenly adorned his cold features. At first, he had been very confused as to why Heaven suddenly decided to leave the country months ago. The crisis was over and there were no murder threats anymore so why did she suddenly insist on going abroad? He had been angered and bittered about her decision for a long time, feeling she was inconsiderate of his feelings and simply selfish until he found the real reason why she went abroad. A month after her departure, he began to receive emails from Q with pictures of Heaven's endeavors abroad. Leo unintentionally moved closer to look at the pictures closely. One picture had Heaven wearing this cute overalls with a pencil tucked behind her ear and a folder in her hand. She was standing in front of a Corp. smiling at a company of three unfamiliar men. Leo frowned and suddenly brought out scissors from a drawer to trim out the other Intruders in the picture. Jake
