The Impervious Courier

Chapter 6.

This must be absolute madness. Whatever this virtual interface was, it must be looking for ways to annihilate him!!!If not, why would it suggest such a death sentence for him? He might as well walk to the Huggin bridge and jump off into the ocean and drown!

Touch her breast? What kind of instruction was that? The previous instruction he got when he fought the thugs was still plausible. But this?

Aside from the fact that he would have to convince her to listen to him, would Theo really sit back and watch some wimp touch his daughter in such a way?!

Even Cory was not dumb! He has seen how much Theo loved his daughter and what length he would go to make her happy.

Cory might as well just sneak out right away.

In the midst of the running and shuffling, he wanted to slip out.

Suddenly, a group of doctors entered into the room. The henchmen who had gone to call the doctors walked in behind them, then shut the doors.

Cory almost cursed out when the last henchman locked the door.

Not only did they lock the door, but about eight of them stood guard by the door.

The groups of doctors were quite surprised to see the henchmen standing at the door in such a manner.

It would seem as though the henchmen were saying, "If you don't heal her, you have nowhere to go."

It was at that moment that Cory realised how doomed he was.

"Lord Theo, we are at your service." The head doctor bowed at once.

"Save the pleasantries, Manuel. Focus on my daughter." Theo snapped.

"Definitely. We will do our best." The doctor assured.

"I hope your best is sufficient." Theo added. He didn't care about hiding his vulnerability. Instead, he shrouded it with threats.

The head doctor instructed the other doctors to help Anna rest comfortably in the bed. Theo stepped out of their way, but his eyes were all over the place.

The doctor started by using the stethoscope to feel the regulation of her breathing pace.

He placed the instrument on several parts of her upper body to feel the rhythm. This would help him to come to a very reliable conclusion.

He wouldn't want to dare make a mistake when the person in question was Theo. So, even if he was right on the first try, he would go again three more times until he gets uniform outcomes.

The doctor finally stepped away from the bed, hanging the stethoscope around his neck.

"You don't have to panic, Lord Theo." He assured. "We will just pass some fluid into her body, and she will be alright."

Theo stared at the doctor for a while.

"Get to job quickly then." He snapped.

The head doctor ordered, and one of the attending doctors brought out a clean and neat syringe and needle. He took a small bottle that contained the medical fluid.

He fed the syringe from the bottle and then fixed the needle at the top firmly. He tapped the tip of the needle gently about three times.

He walked closer to Anna, who was breathing heavily in bed.

"This will hurt for a split second, but you'll be fine afterward." The doctor urged her as he rubbed the cotton wool that was dipped in a solution against the area of contact.

After he massaged that area of her arm well, he drove the needle through her skin. She let out a yelp.

At her yelp, Theo wanted to pounce at the head doctor at once but restrained himself. After all, all he wanted was the well-being of his only and precious daughter.

The doctor stepped away from her. He looked very relieved as he stared at the calm face of Anna.

He proudly and contentedly looked away from Anna to Theo. There was a lot of confidence scribbled in his face.

"Let's wait for only two minutes, and she'll be just fine. Her breathing pattern will be back to normal. But she would have to come here every three days for medication else -"

Cough! Cough! Anna was at it again.

"Primrose." Theo scurried to her at once and held her.

Anna continued to cough. This time, her cough became even more severe. She started to cough violently and with more strength. She suddenly became too weak to push another cough out.

When next she struggled to cough again, she spat out that black stuff, but this time, there was blood all over it.

When Theo saw this, his head rang. If felt like something heavy was dropped on his head.

He moved closer to the doctor and slapped him across the face. The slap was so heavy that the doctor almost somersaulted.

"What do you have to say about this?" He demanded loudly, looking like he was about to do more than slapping.

"This should not have happened." The doctor was equally confused.

According to his diagnosis, all he could see was asthma. As a doctor, although he has never seen an asthma patient spit out such a black substance, yet he knew that diseases and sickness evolve just like humans do.

That was the same measure he had taken to combat the sickness. Things should have gone as planned. What went wrong? He couldn't tell.

"Forgive me, Lord Theo. I underestimated the situation. Instead of bland, I should have mixed the solutions." The doctor apologized, not minding the slap he had received.

It would seem as though the slap was already a part of his life.

"You better have a solution to this." Theo warned.

"I will definitely make her feel better." The doctor promised.

He believed in his skills. He was one of the best in the field in the country. He has won multiple awards. Of course, he should be confident in his skills.

"What if it doesn't work this time? What if it makes her worse?" Thoe asked.

"Cut off my head!" The doctor stamped.

Although Theo was skeptical in the first place, seeing how bold the doctor was, he couldn't deny him the chance.

Perhaps truly the doctor made a mistake in the first place.

Theo nodded, and the doctor got to work.

The doctor started to mix the solutions until he was convinced that it was the right time.

He turned around and walked to Anna. Anna looked quite calm this time. He lifted her arm slightly and pressed the needle against her soft and supple skin.

"Enough!!!" A sudden voice called out of nowhere.

The doctor was distracted, thereby scratching Anna with the needle, but the fluid went pumping in another direction. Anna yelped again.

The startled doctor and disturbed Theo looked in the direction of the voice.

"You will kill her if you do that." Cory added, walking towards the doctor.
