Following Mira’s instructions, Doctor Wisdom got to work, with everyone keeping their gaze on him with every concentration that they could muster, everyone except Adam who stood casually with his arms folded to his chest while his eyes darted between the doctor, the child and nothing in particular,Doctor Wisdom paused by the child’s birth and glanced at Mira then Madam Ruth,“Considering the severity of the situation, I will be performing a herbal ritual on her, that will stabilise her and hear her heart before a permanent situation is made”Madam Ruth nodded her head enthusiastically while Mira rolled her eyes, and snapped at him,“Do what you have to do! All I know is my child needs to be well, money is no problem! If it's herbs you need, then it's no problem! I can arrange for the rarest of herbs in minutes!"Put your mind at ease, today your child will be made whole, I have confidence in my abilities, I ask that you do the same”Mira tsked and said nothing more, choosing to close
Madam Ruth sighed exasperatedly as she rolled her eyes, stomping her feet, she almost snapped Adam with her words but was interrupted by Doctor Wisdom, who with arching eyebrow faced Adam and demanded of him,“Young man, I don't know who you are, but I do know one thing, no one would be able to heal this child, and if anyone manages to do so, it'll be nothing short of a miracle and I'll eat my words, and gladly receive slaps”Subtly shaking his head, Adam chuckled and arched his brow as well, Dr. Wisdom was becoming cocky, and it was displeasing to see.Brendan was burning with rage as he stared at Adam before he snapped his head toward Madam Ruth,“Who's this fool and where was he uprooted from?! What makes you think you can question the authority and experience of an experienced doctor?!”‘So you'd rather choose to believe his report of death and wait for it?!’ Was the retort in Adam’s mind as he equally looked at Brendan, but he said nothing as he had also given the same diagnosis
The entire room was silent for a fraction before it erupted into different expressions of disbelief; mouths slackened, eyes widened, eyebrows were rubbed at and people were at a loss for words,“W-was t-that Geensis that just spoke?”Madam Ruth finally found her voice and spoke in a disbelieving voice, as she gaped at the scene before her, she didn't want to believe nor process the fact that her grandchild had been made well by the hands of the pauper, with unsteady feet, she walked towards the bed.Mira with tears rolling down her eyes gathered her child into her trembling arms, her whole body shook with relief as she enveloped her child,“This is unbelievable!”“I cannot believe my eyes!”Dr Wren and the other guard exclaimed, Dr Wren slightly lifted his head to gaze at Doctor Wisdom, who was still gaping and kept gulping, unable to say anything. His head was bowed, and he looked like a fish out of water.Brendan leaned back on his feet, while stroking his throat, grimacing as he did
“What the hell is your problem, Mira?! Why give him a blank cheque?! Give the man a few change and let him go, if you give him an inch, he's going to want a mile!”Madam Ruth thundered, her entire face and eyes reddening as she spoke, she glared at Adam’s path and hissed. She couldn't understand what her daughter was doing, but she had to be the voice of reason and not let her squander their hard-earned money on someone who didn't know or understand the value of money. “It's my money to spend and not yours Mother! Please stay out of this, you can think of rewarding your two precious doctors who did nothing, rather they put my daughter’s life in danger!”Mira thundered back in response, and both doctors bent their heads to their chests, trying to remain invisible and inconspicuous, having their ineptitude thrown at their faces was insulting, to say the least.Ignoring their existence, Mira kept her gaze on Adam and arched her brow, and as she gazed at the man, she couldn't help the flu
Leaving the Winston’s mansion, Adam placed a call to Vance to confirm their appointment with his contact concerning the herbs,“Vance? What's the update with your source, the one in Leed City?”He could hear Vance sigh over the phone, and he imagined the big burly bully creasing his forehead as he did,“It's a dead end”Vance replied over the phone, at his end, Vance had his fist and jaw clenched tightly; he had been looking forward to Adam meeting the lady, she would have served as a good rival for the saucy Amber, he tsked and rolled his eyes. Adam sighed as well, but one thing he was thankful for was that he at least had Mira’s contact, although he still couldn't shake the feeling that it was probably the same contact as Vance’s own,“That’s fine, I have another contact, so I'll be in touch”Not hearing Vance’s vague reply over the phone, he cut the call as he walked away, cursing himself for not taking a car to take him to the restaurant, he was stuck with taking a taxi once more
The men lifted their fists in order to hit Adam, their fists moved with the speed of light, ready to launch an attack, Adam promptly dodged their blows, deftly dealing one of his to one of them’s faces whose eyes widened as he looked stunned, the blow had destabilised him. He straightened himself up, and masked his face as though the blow hadn't affected him,“Is that all you've got?!”Leon, one of the men roared in anger and turned to the remaining two, “Let me have a first go at him, let him have a taste of the Leo’s fist!”Without waiting for the consent of the others, he leapt to the air and jutted one of his feet forward, aiming at Adam’s face,Brendan watched with glee, his head tilting slightly to the side as a smile crossed his face, that kick sure was one that could send someone to an early grave,While Brendan was giddy with anticipation, Leo thrust his foot out and Adam whirled to the other side before he leaped as well and grabbed Leo’s foot, spun him around, and with a
Brendan’s face had turned ashen, he was unable to keep his gaze on Adam, as his eyes darted all around, looking for a weapon or any means of escape, sweat dripped down his back and face,“Don’t take any step further!”He tried to threaten, but his shaky voice sounded weak and wavering, as his eyes kept looking anywhere else but Adam.How the tables had turned, this wasn't what he had planned nor envisaged, what had changed? How had his plans gone south? This wasn't how it was supposed to play out, his dream of having the bastard grovel and shoved had been truncated,All of these and more were the thoughts that passed through Brendan’s mind, he cowered on his feet, swallowing excessively as his eyes glistened with tears, gulping loudly once more, he exhaled deeply and gaped at Adam,“W-who are you?!”He asked in a trembling voice, Adam smirked and raised his eyebrow before tilting his head to the side,“I thought you said you knew who I was?!”Brendan’s eyebrows furrowed together, as h
After the incident with Brendan and his henchmen, Adam took his helicopter to Leeds City without anyone accompanying him, he had been tempted to ask Amber or Sage to tag along for the ride, but thought the better of it, this was one thing he had to do on his own, without any other person’s help,Mira had warned him that the lady, although talented, was a stubborn and strong-headed fellow, and this was one reason he ventured into this quest on his own.A few hours later, he landed at the private hangar and entered the taxi Raul had prepared for him ahead of time,“Regent Street”He directed to the driver as he slid into the car, and rested his head on the headrest, he was fatigued as he hadn't had much rest. He found himself dozing as the call moved to his destination.Adam had not slept for fifteen minutes before the driver announced their arrival at the location, looking out the window Adam’s head flinched to the back and his forehead creased together as he took in the scenery.“Is t
