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.
There was a man who was dressed in a brown suit in a small room. The man seemed to be pouring something into a small cup. Cory stared at the man for a while. He didn't know what to make of this. At least, not yet. He had been walking when something had made him stop forcefully. And then the same force had made him look in the direction of the small room. Then he saw the young man in a brown suit. Cory wasn't sure of how to react to this, so he decided to brush it aside. The man was done pouring the liquid and was standing on his feet. He took notice of Cory and then looked away. "Cory!" Anna's voice called. There was no point standing there for long. Cory picked a pace and resumed walking. Walking into the living, his mind was invaded. He should still be worrying about what had just happened, but he just couldn't. He could see Lord Theo settled down at a very large dining table. Cory's eyes widened when he saw how many courses of meals were all over the table. He hadn't thought
Lord Theo, who had lifted the cup and was about to take a sip, hesitated. One of the major reasons that he had shooed the man away was because Cory was a guest. He didn't want to inconvenience his guest by making an example of these subordinates that were trying his patience. And now, Cory, whose presence he was trying to respect. had just told the man to stop walking. Anna also stopped what she was doing. Everyone seemed to be sucked into the abyss of the situation. The young man stopped and turned to look at Cory. There were a lot of questions seeped in the man's eyes, but he didn't get to ask any of them. "Is anything the matter?" Lord Theo asked Cory directly, the cup still in his hand. Lord Theo was an impatient man. He always loved to get to the root of something as soon as possible. He wasn't the type who appreciated suspense. It just wasn't a word in his dictionary. Cory could see the restlessness and need to get a response on the face of Lord Theo. "You should not both
