Lucian is rendered speechless. His family never ceases to amaze him. He hasn't known about them for long as he only got to find out about his real identity today, but he can confidently say that they live up to their status! Even the best hospital's security system is a trivial thing for them to exploit! Thinking deeper into that, he can see that it wouldn't have taken Chad up to a minute to destroy this hospital. Why would it when he could easily tap into the hospital's security system?He can't help but realize how lucky of a woman Catherine is to have chosen to listen to him. He can't start to imagine what would have happened to her if she didn't. Perhaps, she would have been reduced to the status of a pauper by now.He chuckles at the image of her clad in shabby clothes flashing through his mind and accepts the card from the burly tall figure."Thank you," he mouths discreetly."Just doing my job, boss," the tall burly figure responds playfully and bows.Lucian rolls his eyes a
Lucian is at a loss for words and doesn't know how to feel as he stares at the popped-up statement. He's suddenly become emotional. Not long ago, he used to struggle to feed himself or get anything for himself. Hardly got anything for himself. Where did he see money?He was at the very bottom in societal status. A poor wretch and everyone's laughingstock. People never missed an opportunity to chastise him and tell him where he was coming from. He merely managed to finish college as a result of the scholarship he was on and because he felt his breakthrough was in his education. It can't be forgotten that he also lost his girlfriend, whom he adored, all because of the same thing.But now everything has changed and he can easily fork out $400 million to purchase an already-built hospital just because he doesn't like how they treat people of lower status. Now, he can easily purchase anything he desires. His eyes are welling up with tears. And he can't help but let them flow. He slowly w
As she gets in front of the tall burly figure and Lucian in his arms, she slips her hand into her small golden Louis Vuitton purse hanging leisurely on her wrist and pulls out a white handkerchief. "Here," she elegantly stretches it to Lucian, blushing to the root of her hair. "You don't seem to have one and I believe you will need it once you are done... yunno, doing that." She is feeling so shy that she stutters and blushes more and more with each statement she makes. She hates that she is this way. She never is. Just can't help it. Really can't.As he lifts his gaze to the beautiful young lady, Lucian finds her demeanor endearing. As she blushes and tries to make her shyness less obvious, she has this appearance of an innocent young kitten. How much he adores such kittens. Furthermore, her voice is so melodious and soothing.Lucian is enthralled. Every bit of her calls out to him. She is everything Laura never was. Extremely gorgeous, kind, and genuine. And the greatest of them, s
"It's morning already?!" Lucian gasps hysterically. How can it be morning? He was meant to meet with his dad and he also haven't eaten! No, Bertram must be joking. Hahaha. He must be. Ah!Doctor Bertram looks at Lucian scrupulously and creases his brow as he asks politely? "It clocked 12:01 a.m. not long ago, Mr. Wood. Is there anything you had to do?"'12:01?' Lucian screams in his head, almost screaming it out loud. It's already a new day and he hasn't eaten anything since yesterday! His stomach rumbles as if it is just realizing that. Lucian sighs and waits till it relieves a little before looking up at Doctor Bertram."It's nothing," he wipes every single emotion off his face and smiles up gratefully at him. "Thank you for taking care of Helen. Your kind gesture will not be forgotten. I'll take her with me," he drifts his gaze to the tall burly figure and orders, "Go fetch her.""This way," Doctor Bertram, knowing there's no way the tall burly figure will know the ward Helen is w
Maureen flushes in chagrin and lowers her head. "I'm sorry, Sir," she says barely audibly but loud enough for Lucian to hear."Just tell me what I want to hear and keep your damn apology to yourself!" "They were checked in by a colleague of mine and were attended to by Doctor Bertram. It had nothing to do with the medical director. He wasn't even around at that time. "From what my colleague told me, they were almost rejected as all the doctors were busy, including Doctor Bertram. But he still chose to attend to them, not caring about how busy he was. One of them is in the intensive care unit while the other is in the general ward."Maureen, is after all, smart. It is obvious Lucian has a good impression of Doctor Bertram, so she had told the last story to paint him better than he already is in Lucian's eyes.This she did to please Lucian, hoping it will make him happy and he can decide to let her off the hook. The truth of it all is that the story never happened! The paramedics tha
Doctor Bertram feels this aura deep down his bones and a great sense of fear prickles his skin, threatening to engulf him. He hastily turns to Lucian and all the hairs on his body stand on end as if sculptures as he sees his expression. Mr. Wood must be having a wrong impression! "It's not what you think, Mr. Wood. I promise!" He cries out in utmost terror before Lucian can say anything."I'm not thinking anything. That is why you are still standing there unscathed! Begin talking now before I start thinking something!""Ok, I will. I will," he swallows a lump of spittle and clears his throat."I know it is said that the general ward is basically kept for recovering patients. To be honest, that isn't entirely correct."Sometimes, when a critically ill patient has been constantly attended to and he or she still shows no sign of recovery, we tend to advise the parents or guardians to come take him or her home, but if they insist the patient should remain in the hospital, we have no choic
Doctor Bertram takes a deep breath and dejectedly sinks into the only free bed in the ward. He entwines his hands and looks up at Lucian, but suddenly, his eyes have a distant look in them. He is directly looking at Lucian, but his gaze is not really on him. More like he is seeing way past the young man in front of him. It is a clear hint that they are in for a long ride.Lucian, understanding that and ready for whatever it is, leans into the wall and crosses his arms against his chest.He is so disgruntled that he wants to get to the bottom of this. Like, he just doesn't understand why humans can be so cruel to one another! Why is the world so evil? Gosh!"You see, Mr. Wood, in this world, there are levels in everything. Ranging from churches, mosques, hospitals, companies, hotels, retail shops, everything! There are levels to everything everywhere! "Every man and woman will always have another man and woman who is bigger than him and her no matter their status!"Discrimination exi
If he knew, he surely wouldn't have said that!Naturally, Lucian should tell him who he is and end the conversation, but he isn't quite ready to reveal his true identity yet, so he merely asks, "Let's imagine I had rights in this hospital and could go up against all those big shots, will you work with me?"'It's just an imagination, right? Then there's no harm in responding honestly' Doctor Bertram thinks. He then smiles and nods. "Yes, I would. I've always wanted this hospital to be a better place.Lucian smiles and steps up to him. "Thank you for being such a good man. I can already see how much of a promising medical director you will be. He pats him on the shoulder twice and looks around. "Where is my friend? I need to quickly say hello to her."Doctor Bertram doesn't hear Lucian's last statement as he is carried away by the second.Medical director? Hah! Is he joking with me? Instead of being surprised, he finds what Lucian said hilarious. There are more than ten doctors senior
