Cory pulled the man with him out of the building. Before he stepped out, he had seen the car of Anna parked not far from the entrance. He had made a quick calculation in his mind. He walked quickly and hurried towards the car, dragging Arold with him. He didn't spare Arold even a breath. Anna was seen running behind them, trying to catch up with the quickened pace of Cory. A distance away from that particular building, there were a couple of reporters who were hanging around and looking around expectantly. They had all heard that Miss Anna of Lord Theo would be coming to the mall today. On top of that, their was an imposing rumor about the new owner of Eagleville coming there, too. None of the reporters knew from what direction Anna or the new owner would come. They were all eager and jumpy as they looked from one side to the other. "Cory! Cory, wait!" Anna called repeatedly. The reporters were gathered at the front of the main mall. Although the executive building was part of
Cory zoomed into the building without having a second thought. He dropped on his knees when he got to the lady. Just a glance at her. Information about her condition popped up at once; she was about to deliver the baby. The loud cry and the urgent reaction of Cory had gotten to the husband and Anna. "Linda!!!" Arold ran into the room, looking really devastated. When Linda, the beautiful pregnant lady, heard the voice of her husband and saw him, her voice got louder in tears, "Arold. The babies. They are coming." Linda cried. Cory looked around the living room and noticed that there was no one in the house. There was no one else in this very huge building. He got up on his feet and hurried to the Arold. He sent a resounding slap across the face of Arold. "You crazy fool! How dare you leave a pregnant woman all by herself? Do you want her dead? In this heavy state of hers?!!!" Cory yelled, almost about to hit him. "This can wait!" Anna screamed. "Let's take her to the hospital f
There was worry splattered across Anna's face. She couldn't move her body an inch. It would seem as though she had turned into a sort of statue. Her eyes were glued to the body that was lying on the bed. Her lips were moving inaudibly as though she was saying some gentle prayers. There were a couple of things going on in her mind that she couldn't find words for yet.She was alone in the guest room with Cory. She had done all she could to make sure that he came back to consciousness, but there was no result. The husband and wife had left the house for the hospital. They wanted to go and confirm whether or not everything was well with the newly born.Cory's face looked quite still and long. He was not cold nor warm. He was a little bit of this and that. In the midst of the running emotions, Anna's phone started to buzz. She was startled by the loud ring tone. She had no idea how much she was lost in thoughts. When she looked at the phone, she realized that she had no other choice t
Cory didn't bother to wait for her. He was deep in thoughts, too. He headed straight towards the receptionist. "Please point me to the restroom." He asked. "It's over there." The lady pointed. "Thank you." Cory nodded with a soft smile and then walked away. He pushed the door open and walked to the end. He brought up the interface of the system. He started to scroll through it. "What happened to me? Why did I pass out all of a sudden?" He muttered, clicking on whatever he thought would be useful. "This has never happened to me. Could the system be malfunctioning?" He couldn't be sure yet, so he didn't want to make hypotheses. He scrolled and scrolled for another moment in a bid to get to the root of this, but he just couldn't find anything. He was getting really exhausted. He was about to close the interface when all of a sudden, a pop-up window appeared. [Ping! Host zoned out.] "Host zone out?" He wasn't sure of what to make of this. When he clicked on the new information
The expression of the doctor was hard to decipher when he gazed at the person who had just walked in. When the doctor had heard Arold talk about the person who helped deliver the twins, he had thought of someone who was advanced in age. Someone who was rather an elderly person who was quiet experienced in other traditional ways of maneuvering medical practices. The fact was that all modern doctors knew that there was always a traditional healer who could go about the medical practices without adopting any of the modern instruments or means. Although the hospitals have been empowered by the government and raised so highly that any suggestions outside of the recommendation of a certified doctor were unusually thrown into the pit and considered useless. Even though these modern doctors knew that there were traditional rulers who could adopt acupuncture for healing quite a number of illnesses. The doctor was still lost in thoughts as he stared at Cory, who stopped right in front of Ar
The doctor froze in his place when his gaze greeted Lord Theo. It would seem as though he had lost every sense of his being. It was as though he had forgotten how to act. So many people across Emerald City have heard of the terrifying name of Lord Theo. They have heard of all the chaotic things he was capable of doing. They have seen him on the TV and other news outlets. But a vast majority of them have never accosted him in person. The doctor and his nurses were one of the many people who were yet to meet him in person. The doctor was trying to say something, but all he could do at that moment was stutter. He dropped his gaze first. When he realised that that was the wrong thing to drop, he dropped on his knees almost immediately. "Lord Theo! What a great and unexpected visit. This is an unusual and an august visit." The doctor said repeatedly, not daring to look the man in the eyes. Lord Theo didn't pay attention for a second. Instead, he walked past the doctor and straight to
Cory could tell that Anna was following from behind, but he didn't wait for her. It wasn't quite hard to tell why he was doing that. He knew that she would have a million and one questions to drown him in. He still didn't think he was ready for any of those yet. But one thing that he knew for a fact was that. Whether or not he liked it, Anna was now a big part of his life. Just as Mara and Elaine are. He still hasn't decided what he would do with her yet, but he knows that time is the best teacher. Time is the best narrator, and it would definitely tell. A myriad of media personnel have already assembled at the front of the hospital. It would seem as though they have been waiting all their lives to do this. How did they know that Lord Theo was at the hospital? Cory really didn't care about it. None of the media persons knew his face. That was a very great thing for him. But he couldn't say much for Anna, and that was why he had to walk faster. He got to the car and got in. He wo
The car pulled over in front of an electric gate. Cory looked to the front from the backseat. The driver wound down the window of the car and was talking to someone. Cory didn't have a hard time seeing the face of the person whom the driver was talking to. The man looked very lanky, and there were a couple of scars across his face. His eyes were red, and his jaws were tightened. The man looked to be nothing shorter than 6'8. For a reason best known to himself, Cory couldn't help but adjust himself in the seat.The man leaned into the car and looked to the backseat. His eyes squinted when he first saw Cory, but then his reactions changed immediately he saw Anna. "My lady. I'm sorry to hold you up. Didn't know you were here." The tough looking man suddenly lost all the vigor and manliness. He looked scared to the end of his wits. "Go back to your post." Anna shooed him off as though he was a fly. Anna seemed to be still caught up in the drama that ensued between herself and Cory.
