At the shrill and fear in Mira’s voice, Adam quickly turned and saw the girl shaking and flailing on the bed with her eyes still closed, “Dr Wren, don't just stand there! Do something! My granddaughter is dying!”“What's wrong?! What did you do?!”Both women threw questions at the doctor, who stood perplexed while biting his fingers and talking to himself, he couldn't understand why the girl was acting like that, he had done everything right by his book, and so he was left twisted and confused,“I-I don't k-know, she's supposed to be awake” he managed to stutter out, and in a flash Mira dove at him, clutching his shirt and pounding his chest at the same time,“How dare you?! You've made my daughter worse, and yet you say you don't know. I'll kill you!!!” Mira roared as she continued banging on his chest, tears dripping down her face, Madam Ruth, exhaled deeply in an attempt to calm herself before turning to one of the guards,“Hurry, get all the best doctors you can find, and bring
“Nobody touches her any longer!”As the voice commanded, all eyes turned in his direction, and Adam didn't fail to notice the look of disdain on Mira’s face and the opposite look of relief and happiness on Madam Ruth’s face,Brendan Castro strode in with his head held high and his chest out,“Brendan, I'm so grateful you're here!!!”She exclaimed loudly and dramatically, almost acting as though she wanted to faint, Adam rolled his eyes at her melodrama.Brendan nodded his head at her and approached her,“Not to worry my sweet lady, I have brought cavalry, we cannot let just anybody touch our precious Genesis!”Mira rolled her eyes and hissed before scowling at him and snapping,“What other option do you have?! MY CHILD lays dying and you're here with your sanctimonious attitude as usual!”Brendan sighed dramatically and scowled at Adam, weighing him with his eyes, before he masked the hate in his eyes into a saccharine smile and looked at Mira,“My darling, I know I'm not your favorit
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
