Adrian could feel his heart throbbing, the thought of losing Avery was about to shatter him. “You need to calm down, Adrian; I already told you that I am fine. Just get out of here!” “You are not fine. This is the second time something like this has happened before me and you expect me the believe that you are fine, I need to take you to the hospital”He insisted. Avery stared into his eyes deeply; she could tell that he wasn't going to give up on that s issue that easily.Avery grabbed his hand and started walking away from the crowd. While they did, Kelvin was handcuffed and dragged outside by the cops alongside his accomplice as they forced them to the car. “What is it Avery, talk to me please” “Yes I have indeed been getting nose bleed and dizziness but the hospital can't help me” “And what is that supposed to mean?” “I have been to several hospitals, several tests had been carried out, but they all came out the same. There is nothing wrong with me
Adrian arrived at Mr. Albert's home. He knew for sure that if he had to knock on the door, there was never going to be a response.The last time after Mr. Albert was shot, He told Adrian that he would be going into seclusion because it seemed to him that his powers were getting weak and he needed to recuperate.Because of that, Adrian made sure that he got a spare key to the house but as he twisted the door door and stepped inside, there was someone inside. “Bob!” Adrian called as his eyes popped out wide open. Bob was his colleague whom they had both learned cultivation in the hands of master together. Bob left after his cultivation, and after a year, he was presumed dead; his family found him and had to perform some burial rites in his name.Standing here before him all alone, Adrian was indeed curious because never did he think that he would see him ever again, but he was standing right before him; there were no bruises, and neither did he look like he had ever been in a tough
Adrian stared at the door and its environment one more time to make sure that no one was listening before he began.” it's Avery, she is sick” “If she is sick, then her family should take her to the hospital, why have you come to me like I am a doctor?” “Because I have this feeling that you know what is wrong with her. She has been bleeding from her nose. I found out from those who abducted her that she might lose her life because I have been tapping into her holy light all this while. Please tell me that it isn't true?”Adrian asked but Mr. Albert remained silent as he drifted his head elsewhere like he was not interested in the conversation. “From the expression on your face and the silence treatment that you are giving me, I can tell that you know something” “Just a piece of advice to you Adrian, do not consider her as someone that you should feel sorry for, but rather a vessel” “What! Did you just refer to her as a vessel, why would you even say such a thing or
When Avery and her father arrived back home, Avery was so exhausted that all that she needed was to take some drugs for her migraine and then get a good sleep.But Seth was in the large sitting room; he looked restless, and from the look of things, he had been waiting for her for a while now. “Avery!” He called out as he rushed over to her and embraced her so tightly that she could barely breathe. “Seth…. What are you doing here?” “I have been waiting for you for a while now, thank God that you are finally back home.” He expressed with so much relief in his voice but Avery pulled away and started walking away from them.“Avery, what is wrong with you? Can't you see that Seth is speaking to you!” Mr. Woods snapped but Avery rolled her eyes at him. “Dad please I have been through a lot these few days, it has just been from one problem to the other and now all that I need is some rest” “I clearly understand you, Avery, I have been searching everywhere for you to no
Adrian stared deeply at Avery and even while he did, there was so much going on in his head. Avery was a businesswoman who would do anything for her business; he could not tell, for she indeed loved him as she had always claimed to.But Adrian knew that if this plant and the bond between them didn't work, it was definitely going to cause a strain in their relationship. “Adrian, go ahead and speak. I have seen so much in my life and I think that whatever this is, I can handle it”She grabbed both his hands in an attempt to assure him, but Adrian did not feel so assured about it. “It is nothing something to be afraid of, I am just looking for the right words to put it” “Whatever this is, I don't need you to sugar-coat it, just go ahead and spill” “My master thinks that there might be a way to save you and stop whatever this is that is happening to you, but there is a plant that needs to grow for this plant to grow, it requires your blood and that of someone that you
Daniel strode through the stairs where his brothers Sean and Theo, alongside Grandpa Hallow, seemed to be waiting for him.“Why did it take you so long?” Sean, who seemed to have grown impatient asked. “For a moment there, I thought that it was a woman that was keeping us waiting here,” Theo teased, but Daniel did not seem bothered by their indirect mockery.“I apologize, Grandpa, there were just some emails I needed to send to my assistant that way it was ready before I arrived at the office” Daniel rolled his eyes at his brother's like some kid which his brothers also found funny.“It's alright, son; your brother knows that fully well but is just trying to play some tricks on you.” Grandpa, in his calm domineer, responded and took the lead, and they followed right behind him.Outside the mansion, their escorts were fully armed with guns and other necessary items and were waiting for them.The doors were opened up for them, and as they drove off, the convoy followed behind them.
Seeing how tense the detective was, Grandpa Hallow knew that something was wrong, and because of that, he went closer to the cop; that way, no one would listen to their conversation. “What is the problem?” “I don't know if I should be saying this to you or if at all it is even proper for me to say it…..” “Whatever it is, just go ahead and say it, I assure you that I can handle it” “Yesterday, when your grandson was brought in here, his cellmate died. But the strange thing about his death was the fact that it looks like it was not done by a human” “It was not done by a human, what is that supposed to mean?” Grandpa Hallow narrowed his gaze curiously at him “There was a mark on his back and his entire blood was drained out of his body. Another cellmate was transferred there at night yesterday and when we went there this morning, he was also dead” It seemed like he was trying to ascertain the old man's reaction for fear that he would not upset such a powerful man, and he kn
Daniel immediately followed his daughter to her room, and as he entered, he slammed the door behind him. Freya was fuming in rage while he found himself a seat. It was not every time that he found his daughter this furious, and on such occasions, he knew just how to handle her.“Calm down Freya, you know that it is wrong for you to walk out on Grandpa in such a manner, he is the elder of this family and the last thing that we do not do is disrespect the elder” “I am aware of that Dad and I am sorry but how can you stand there and watch them betray Adrian” “Betray Adrian, why would you put it like that, it is not like it was Adrian that was adopted”“Yes but he was the one who went to save her and took the risk, for all we know, he might have been the one that had Adrian adopted” “I suggest that you do not say that in of others, it is wrong to accuse anyone falsely” “Are you for real, you care about the fact that it might be true. You all promised that you were goin
