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 can assume the throne!" He declared, pointing his hand at her. She turned, furrowing her eyes.
"I know I'm the cause of all that's going on, I'd leave this room for you doctors. Let the wish of Joel be done!" Peter finally said.
He didn't want in the act of showing his patriotism, he would get himself into huge trouble. He knew this was a small case compared to other cases he had been solving, but with the level of mistrust on him, he couldn't just handle this.
He bowed before Lissa, opening the door and he left the room. Lisa was frustrated, she went mute and felt defeated but Peter did this for his good. He was glad he was out of trouble. Joel was now in control, so he ordered the doctors which Shawn brought to come forward. Lisa went silent, folding her arms and watched what was going on.
Mr. Thompson has been in a disturbing condition for the past three months when he was brought into the medical facility after showing signs of occasional insanity. All efforts have been in vain. The primary wish of the Atkin family, especially Lisa, is to see Mr. Thompson return to a calm demeanor and take back his position.
"First of all, a drip would be needed," the doctor said.
They installed the water into the drip syringe and injected it into his body, from here they were going to transport him through a stretcher to the theater so they can kickstart the surgery. Before they could do anything after placing him on a drip, Mr. Thompson started to shake violently on the bed, his eyes went pale.
The next minute, blood started to ooze out of his nose and ears. The heart beat and pulse recording machine showed his heartbeat increasing so fast, and his pulse going off that of a normal human being. This was a few minutes after Peter left, if certain, it wasn't up to ten minutes, by now he would be downstairs.
"What's happening?" Joel screamed in frustration.
"Didn't I tell you?" Lisa yelled at him, hitting him on the back.
"Should you be blaming me or the doctors in charge?" He defended.
"What did you say when I asked Peter to treat dad?" Lisa held him on the throat, almost strangling him. He fought to break free.
"If this is happening with experienced doctors, what do you think would happen with that brat? Mr. Thompson would just die at once!" He still didn't accept the fact.
Lisa stamped her foot in anger. "This boy, you still don't wanna learn your lesson!"
More doctors hearing the commotion rushed into the room to see what was happening. Seeing Mr. Thompson in this manner and the doctors who were already in here confused and frustrated, they tried their best to revive Mr. Thompson.
When Lisa saw that their techniques weren't working, Mr. Thompson was still shaking terribly, she hurriedly pulled up her phone to call Peter. "I'm sure he hasn't reached the gate of the hospital," she muttered to herself.
The call rang, then went through. Peter's voice came up.
"Hello, sir?"
"Please we need your help urgently here! The doctors which my uncle brought have made my dad's condition go worse. He's dying........" Great pain could be heard in her voice. "He's shaking terribly and blood is oozing out of him…… "
This greatly touched Peter that he had no choice but to return back. When he arrived at the room, it was turbulent as Mr. Thompson's breath was drastically increasing, his heartbeat was getting close to that of a dead person.
The most senior doctor immediately shouted. "What's he doing here again? If he's able to do this work well, I'll kneel down in public, before everyone in this hospital and call him sir." He was angry that Lisa decided to call Peter again instead of trying another method.
"And I'll marry him should he revive my dad, Mr. Thompson at this critical moment." Lisa was serious about this. Peter heard this, he almost froze in shock but he knew he needed to pay attention to what was most important at the moment which was reviving Mr. Thompson.
"How can Lisa of this country, who's next in line to be on the seat of government, marry a poor, unpopular guy like me?" He questioned deep within himself.
"This sounds too good to be true!" But this motivated him to try harder, his best to revive Mr. Thompson.
He set to do his job!
Peter tapped Mr. Thompson gently behind his right ear and then his left ear, twice. 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? What happened to me?" Peter was so gla
Lisa was the happiest person in the world. She could even give peter the world if she had the power. 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. More than eight men got out of the car, looking so tall and rugged with eye patches like sailors of ancient days who were believed to have lost one eye. They approached the car, armed with weapons, and others with covered faces. A bald, burly man who seemed to be the leader set his foot on the wagon's bonnet.Brandishing his knife, he threatened, “Miss Lisa, my boss wants to meet you. We will
“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. Taking a closer look, he found that her beauty wa
Mary finally recognized the man. After she found out the truth about that fight, she had been feeling guilty about it. Mary decided to address the misunderstanding she had with him the other day. This was her chance and a rare privilege since he doesn't attends events like this and wouldn't even pick her call. She walked up to him.“Peter!”Mary was about to continue when she stopped in her tracks. She noticed a striking figure next to Peter. The woman was dressed in a skin-tight, fiery red dress that showcased her tiny waist and alluring curves.Lisa!“Mary, nice to meet you. 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. She thought she was with him for only that day.If someone had told her this was her ex's new love interest, she wouldn't have believed
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. "My mom died in an accident many years ago. It made me very lonely. I had to join
Peter woke up early the next morning. When he got out of the house, he saw that the whole place was busy. Everyone was awake, preparing for the return of Mr. Thompson. He walked through the hall way an met Lisa when he entered the kitchen. Lisa was with the maids, cooking. She saw him come in and become excited. "Good morning Peter. " She greeted him gleefully. "Good morning. " He said to her. He was also glad to see her. She walked up to him. "Why didn't you wake me up early to join in the preparation?" He asked her. "I did not want to disturb you. Besides, we have everything covered here." She replied him. "Does not matter." He replied. "I would still like to help." He said to her. "Well, you can come work here with us in the kitchen." She said to him. Peter let out a laugh. He found it hilarious. There was more manly things to do, but she wanted him to do that one. "Well, it is what I did when I was at home with my ex wife." He said to himself. "It's nothing I can't handl
Thompson was now very upset that his daughter was living in his house with a guy, a guy he knew. Nothing of. Little did he know that this was the man that saved his life. His son and brother did not bother to tell him either. They wanted to see violence play out instead of peace. They did not like him and so they wanted him out of the house. At home. Everything was done and they were ready to welcome Thompson back home. They had all lined up and laid red carpets for him to walk on when he got home. Peter was the last person to be outside. He spent a lot of time freshening up after the preparation. He was scared about going out and wanted to spend the rest of the day inside, but had to toughen up as a man and go outside. "I have seen worse things before." He said to himself. "How bad could these ones possibly be?" He comforted himself with those words before heading outside. Outside, he walked straight to Lisa. She looked at him with a smile on her face. "I thought you were go
