2024-10-29 19:42:56"But Mary, you can't just let this poor asshole harass us this way, he wouldn't ever have respect for us and you in particular no matter who you later become!" Vivian emphasized.
She kept insisting that her daughter do something. "It's not a small position, being a managing director!"
With time, Mary's anger was fuming. It increased as her mother was talking more to her. "Mom, you don't need to worry, I'll handle this. Take him(Cynthia’s boyfriend) to the nearest clinic, then the physiotherapist will take care of his condition."
She could always find a way to deal with him without Lisa’s knowledge.
Vivian was now happy, she could now go away with her second daughter. While they went away, she picked up her phone to call Peter, her ex-husband. This call hit Peter while he was inside the car with Lisa.
Lisa was such a free person, she gestured to him to pick the call with a smile. He was surprised by this gesture. He tapped on the accept button.
"Hello, why are you calling me now?" His voice was stern and filled with disgust.
"Heyy, listen to me. If you want good and not trouble, you call my mom now, ask for her location and go there right now and kneel and apologize to them."
He laughed at the kneel. "And if I don't, what will happen?" He didn't waste time to reply.
"Gosh! You're proving stubborn?"
"Well, I think you're just kidding!" He chuckled with a great sarcastic tone. "You weren't like this, Mary. Who changed you?"
"Because I've changed," she curtly said.
"Sorry to say so, I've likely changed too."
Mary gasped at Peter's boldness.
Shock and irritation took over Mary as the person she was talking to wasn't even bothered at all.
"Next time filter out some statements from your mouth before you spit them out, I'm not the kind of man you use to treat so badly!" Peter knew this would really hurt his ex-wife, he repeated one of her statements in a proud way, then ended the call.
He knew he had nothing to lose anymore, so he could tell her anything he wanted to.
"What the hell! Peter has the audacity to end my call! Has he forgotten who I am?"
"I'll surely teach him a lesson!" She dropped her phone into her bag, then walked up her car murmuring with anger to herself.
When the call was done, Lisa began to speak to him.
"Was that your ex-wife?" She asked with a grin. Peter was glad she couldn't get to hear all the shit Mary said to him.
"Yes, madam!"
"Call me Lisa!" Peter was surprised but he had no option other than to comply.
"Yes, she once told me you are excellent at curing rear illnesses."
"Who?" He got shocked.
"Your wife," Lisa jerked her head to the left. "But that was almost three months ago, she spoke so nicely of you, I wonder why she would have to treat you this way now!"
Peter's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe his wife who despised him would recommend him someone like Lisa. He thought she hated him all round.
The truth was now getting unveiled by Peter as of how Lisa got to know of him. It turned out to be that the location she stated on the call, the Smith’s Clinic which was the best in the country. It had the VIP departments and was mostly attended by members of the elite class.
It was still one of the businesses her family owned.
"My brother is waiting for us at the hospital," she heaved, probably she wanted to say something which hurt her so much. Peter was wondering what was going on, who he's going to be treating. His heart was occupied by so much thoughts at the moment.
She gestured to him to get into the car.
She drove him to the hospital, then took him to the special ward. It was VIP. Meanwhile she hadn't told him what was wrong.
Opening the door, he saw Mr. Thompson lying in a critical state. He almost stepped backward, he was shocked to realize he would be treating Mr. Thompson of all people, then he was curious to know what's wrong with him, even before he got to examine him.
Mr. Thompson was Lisa’s father and the current CEO of the Thompson’s business group, the business group that owned almost half the country.
"Here's my younger brother, Joel." Lisa introduced him to him.
This was his first time dealing directly with members of such family. Joel descended his eyes on him, scanning him with disgust from head to toe. Joel hated him at first sight.
"Oh, he looks like this in real life?" He questioned, his face showed he didn't believe in his capabilities. "Well, just give me a handshake. I thought he was an outstanding medical expert. Are you sure such a person like him deserves to lay hands on my father?"
"Hmm," Peter sighed silently so that he could not be heard. He was secretly pissed by this. "Well, I might excuse you, your highness, if you don't believe in my capabilities."
He knew what Joel was expecting, lots of explanations and telling of his achievement to make him believe but he wasn't ready for all these.
"My father has a tumor at the back of his head, which keeps increasing everyday. Don't listen to him but treat My father. He judges by appearance, I've warned him several times!" Lisa gave him a pleading gaze which made him decide to set to work.
The doctors said the tumor was too close to sensitive parts of his brain and they could not operate him.
"I'll try my best!" As he responded, he was also promising himself this.

No one says anything positive."Oh. So why do you believe in me?" He asked her, curious.

Though Peter was still confident in his skills, he felt it was needed he withdrew on time, he didn't want any further accusations from the family members. "These people wouldn't believe me no matter what I do, it's best I withdraw now!" Picking his phone, he was about to leave. Lisa sensed this, she became unhappy. "Please begin the treatment, you don't have to mind all these bunch of fools!" She said, trying to make him stay. "If it was just you, I'd stay but I'd like to fulfill their wish so that they might have peace of mind." He insisted. "And I insist," the senior doctor said. "He should leave. If you like you take it, if you don't like it, you leave, madam," he said with a very serious face. "From the facts I've derived about Mr. Thompson's condition, it's a sign of cerebral palsy. He would be bedridden for life if he doesn’t get a surgery in two weeks." Joel was back into the room without them knowing. "I know what she's trying to do, she wants Mr. Thompson to die so she

He began to massage it slowly, people standing around wondered why he was doing, especially the doctor that said he would kneel before him should he revive Mr. Thompson."What's this fool doing here, let him get out of here. He's only going to compound issues!" He moved forward to push Peter off the side of Mr. Thompson's bed but Lisa came up in front of him, standing on his way and giving him deadly stares."If you go near him again, I'll fight you!"For Lisa to sound this way, they knew it was serious and all retreated."Why are you always bent on causing confusion here?" She talked back at him.The doctor tried to avoid the gaze. Everyone's attention once returned to Peter and Mr. Thompson, when they watched his heartbeat and pulse, it was reversing back to normal.The next moment Mr. Thompson was seated on his bed, calm and quite thoughtful."What's happening?

Since she did not have the power to, she had to settle for what she could give him.She could not stop thanking him, even though he told her not to anymore.One of the things she gave him was gold wrist watch with diamond and topaz stones on it.“You really do not have to.” He said to her. “I can not simply wear this on my poor skin.” He said to her.“You deserve this and so much more!” she assured him.At that moment, two black Lexus swept by. They blocked the black G-wagon in the front and rear.

“Lisa, you need to be more cautious next time. All bad things happen in just a day!,” Peter warned.“Kann Ben is just a crazy bastard. However, he has strong allies backing him up. I’m not going to do anything about this yet. I'll plan well before going to ask him what's going on!"Lisa narrowed her eyes. It would be rash to attack right now. She would take all of them down in one blow with Peter!“As long as you have a plan, that’s alright.” Peter nodded."Peter, you've done so much, more than expected, I have no way to pay you back.” Lisa fluttered her eyelashes sexily, running her hand through her hips.“It’s no trouble at all,” Peter replied carelessly.“No, we owe you too much! I must return the favor!” With that, Lisa shot him a sexy smile whining her body gently like a slow motion snake.“Can I repay you first of all with my body before we marry?“What?” Peter was as shocked as hell.He never thought this is what Lisa would say.

How may I be of help to you?” Peter’s eyes widened when he saw Mary walking toward him, but his gaze turned cold in a moment.“What a coincidence seeing you here.”Mary choked back the speech she had prepared to explain herself and greeted Peter stiffly, especially seeing Lisa.

Mary and Roland just had to wait for the day to be over so they could go back home. The tension and uncomfortable feeling they were getting was too much and they could not take it anymore. It was though the ground would open for them to enter, bit it did not. Lisa was treated like royalty everywhere she went to and since she was with Peter now, it commanded the same respect for him. "What is she seeing in him?" Roland asked himself as he drove back home with Mary in the front seat. Mary was not short of thought herself. "What did he do to deserve her acceptance?" She asked herself as she was also confused. She did not know what on earth would make a woman so sophisticated, a hundred times more sophisticated than her to stop to Peter's level. Mary and Roland were both quiet through out the drive to the house. Both hand their minds filled up. Roland had been crushing on Lisa since back in the days. He several times made attempts to impress her, but as was never impressed.

Lisa's mother had died a while ago. Peter came across it over the news when it happened, but hadn't discussed it with her yet. He was so concerned to see her cry like that after mentioning her mother. "My mother was the best woman in the world." She said. "While dad was busy with work and all, she would stay home with my and my brother. We were little at that time. " She told him. "She would do all the sweet things and try to make sure we were okay. She always brought us here. This was her favourite restaurant." She said. The next couple of words followed slow laughter. "She said they always got their apple pies and natural soda right.""When we got home, she would try to replicate the pie with their pies, but she could never." She added. "Her pies were great, no doubt, but there was something about this place pie. Their pie was just unique. I even tried to do mine, but it never beat it." She said.

"How could you give such as crucial position to a no body." Shawn asked him. "He's a human like us with enough enthusiasm. He will bring something new to the table." Thompson explained. "With that, you're supposed to start with something small. Maybe as he progresses and gets better, you can upgrade him. Not just pushing him that far." Shawn replied.
