*****Mark’s heart was frantically pumping in his chest at this moment, as he ran. His blood had turned cold and he was feeling a great nervousness and goosebumps upon himself. If there was anything called pain, Mark was no longer feeling it. No, it wasn’t that his pain had disappeared and was no longer there, but rather, Mark’s mind was too occupied right now that it couldn’t register another thing. ‘Please work!’He prayed with everything he had in his mind, looking extremely scared even on the surface. After what finally appeared to be an eternity to him, Mark got to the ward in which his mother and sister were admitted. He stopped for a second outside the door, to calm his raging mind as much as he could, then he wiped away the big beads of sweat that had covered his face which immediately oozed out massively again as though he didn’t touch them. After all this, Mark inhaled and exhaled heavily again before eventually, feeling even more nervous than when he tried to calm his
*****“Will you watch where you are going?” The person whom Mark knocked into snapped at Mark in an offended manner.“I…” Mark hurriedly glanced back and wanted to apologize when his words became stuck in his throat the following moment. “Mister.” The person called out, a slight smile replacing the furious scowl on his face as he recognized Mark at the same time Mark recognized him. It was the doctor who had attended to Mark when he was in the hospital the other time. “Sir Doctor,” Mark blurted out. “I entered the ward just now to check on my mother and sister, but I was informed that they’ve been moved out of the ward. Please what’s going on? Which ward are they moved into now? Or is their operations already going on?” “Huh?” The doctor gazed askance at Mark for a second, then a mysterious smile appeared on his face as he shook his head, appearing as though he had just heard a funny question. “Mister, have you paid the money which I told you to go and bring? The $200,000 for the
***** “This…” Gazing dumbly at his front like someone who had seen the most shocking thing of his life, Mark couldn’t react at this moment.His lips opened several times and he wanted to say something, but he only ended up repeating one word with deepest disbelief on his face. Mark was terrified to the core and beyond words, seeing where his mother and sister had been dumped. He didn’t even know why he had failed to notice the area upon his previous two entries and exit, as it was just too glaring and obvious, with the people who needed treatment filling the place As the doctor had told him, the place was the waiting area, one corner there, and right now, his mother and sister, including several other patients were lying on the tiles, some people completely unconscious, some already dead, and some people constantly groaning in deep agony. There were even a few who were praying in deep anguish for death at this moment. Even when Mark was told by the doctor that his mother and si
***** A moment prior. “This place is too massive, how do we locate him now?”The old man whom Mark had treated was helpless present. He currently regrets allowing Mark to leave completely before he decides to follow him. The old man, his granddaughter, and the two bodyguards had been searching around for Mark since, but all was to no avail as they hadn’t been able to locate even a trace of him. It was as though he had suddenly disappeared. They had even mistaken Mark for someone else two times already and they had to apologize to the people before they hurriedly scurried away to continue their search. “Grandfather, what do we do now?” The jade beauty, who had been looking for Mark together with her grandfather finally asked after they’d walked around the entire hospital. “Given how we weren’t able to locate him even after we’ve searched everywhere for him, my thought is that he has already entered somewhere, so…” The old man abruptly stopped talking and then a confused look ap
***** “And what do you think?” One of the bodyguards responded to the question that was thrown at his master with another question, he and his colleague trying their best not to bust out laughing. The instant the middle-aged man heard the response, his heart stopped working completely in his chest and he swallowed hard. In the next second, however, the middle-aged man rushed forward and quickly bowed his head. “I…. I deeply apologize for how rudely I’d spoken before, please forgive me, sir patriarch. I didn't know… I had no idea that you were the one at the door.” The middle-aged man was scared to death and the sweat oozing out of him multiplied in a blink.‘My mouth! My mouth!! I really hope that this mouth of mine won’t be the death of me!’ The middle-aged man sobbed bitterly in his mind as he recalled asking someone as powerful as the master of the Jackson family a deaf person and even snapping at him. As for the old man and the three other people with him. Although a sight
*****“What happened?” After a moment of deep and deafening silence, murmurs filled the massive waiting area and everybody hurriedly turned their gazes in the direction of the person who had just roared. “This… he didn’t just curse at the evil doctor, did he?” “Who is this middle-aged man to dare call the evil doctor, who wouldn’t even blink an eye if a patient who failed to pay for their medical bills died before him a stupid bastard? Does he want to be beaten to a pulp as well?” Everybody began to gasp, mumbling their shock. Nobody recognizes the middle-aged man at all until after a brief period. “That middle-aged man resembles the director of this hospital... No, he doesn’t just resemble him, he is the one!” “Oh… so, he is the director.” “Wait… what. He is the director? No wonder he dares to curse at the evil doctor. He is the master, after all.” Everybody began to mumble again, but this time, they were giving the middle-aged man alienated gazes and no longer the curious an
***** Nobody could react at all even at this moment and another long and deafening silence pervaded the place until finally, everybody’s hearts thundered slightly in their chests. Why? A massive killing intent filled the hall without any warning.The people in the waiting area hurriedly searched for the origination of this scary killing intent and what they saw were two men in suits, currently standing guard before the old man who had smacked the doctor on the face, glaring in the direction of the doctor who still hadn’t stood up. Nobody could say a word. Their lips were literally gum together with nervousness and they weren't able to open them for a moment.Everyone at the place watched blankly until finally, the doctor, who after appearing dead for a moment forced himself to stand up. In the next moment, however, they gapped as they saw him cough out a jet of blood which immediately dyed his coat which already had a stain on it before. The doctor’s eyes were filled to the brim
***** At this moment, inside the highly acclaimed ward within the hospital which deserves its reputation as the best, given its exceptional quality and how it stood out as more than just a typical hospital ward, but rather resemble a presidential room in an estate, adorned with extravagant interior decor that would make anyone reluctant to depart, but want to choose as a place to live, Mark's mother and sister were settled in while Mark, the pair of grandfather and granddaughter, hospital director, doctors, and nurses were standing. “Sir, two of our best doctors are available and presently in the hospital, should I send for them to come over for the patients’ treatment, instead of us using the regular doctors?” The director, after contemplating for a long time about how to further enhance his image in the eyes of the Jackson Family's Patriarch, eventually spoke out. The old man hurriedly glanced at Mark upon hearing the suggestion, but then Mark shook his head. “No need.” His vo
