Adam soon arrived at the hospital per Mira's request, leaving a still weak and reluctant Amber behind, he had only chosen to come out of respect for Mira and nothing else, it was obvious her mother didn't need his help, and he was fine with that.As soon as he crossed the threshold of Madam Ruth's room, she flared up and threw a shoe at the door, in reflex Adam ducked,“Get the hell out of my room you pauper!!! Your presence isn't needed here!”“Mother!!!"Her daughter chastised loudly while sending a look of remorse and apology to Adam on her mother's behalf,“I'm sorry about that Adam"He barely managed a nod in response, his eyes on the woman who was shooting daggers with hers, and sending him the worst of all venoms with her look. Adam could tell that she was getting worse, and probably at death's door, but Madam Ruth's arrogance had blinded her to that reality. With a gleam in his eyes, Adam tilted his head to the side to stare at the aggravating woman, and with a clear voice, h
Wanting to belittle Adam while their gazes were still steady on each other, she looked at the amazing Doctor Stone with a hand over her chest and smiled broadly before she asked Austin,“Dr Stone should be a very busy and highly respected doctor, how did you get him to come on such short notice?" Looking at the doctor, she could tell he was highly decorated and skilled, and she smiled deeper knowing Austin who had arranged it all was to be her son in law in no time, Austin feeling proud of himself, waved his hand dismissively,“Oh, there's nothing having money and the right connection cannot achieve. You should know how much weight my family name carries, The Parker family are no small people” he boasted and Madam Ruth nodded her head in agreement,The Parker family were indeed one of the top five richest and most influential families in their country, although they ranked the least, they were still formidable and strong, but not as strong as the ultimate family, known as The Raine'
Startled by their various looks of worry and horror, Madam Ruth sat upright and looked at her daughter as she demanded to know what was happening,“Why are you attacking the good doctor Mira?! Unhand him this minute" Mira hardly spared her mother a glance as she continued holding on to the doctor, Madam Ruth blinked her eyes repeatedly mad hitched her breath, her chest once again feeling funny,Still looking at Mira holding the doctor, she tried to adjust herself on the bed but found out that she couldn't move, ignoring the strange movement in her chest, she once more tried to dispel Mira from the doctor,“Leave the doctor alone Mira!" Her eyebrows scrunched together and she blinked rapidly again,“Why are there two of you Mira? And even two of the doctor?" She wheezed, Hearing that, Mira inhaled sharply and ran to her mother abandoning the doctor who looked clueless and out of place. Sitting beside her mother, Mira looked her over with bulging eyes and a curious gaze,“Aren't you fe
Adam really hadn't gone far as he was still in the hospital, knowing fully well that the doctor's attempt would be futile, and he lagged behind to see their reaction to his failure after they had made so much boast. He had come in contact with one of his grandfather's who knew of his true identity and the two were exchanging pleasantries. Sir Thomas French family was the third most influential and powerful family in the country, and his family were close friends with the Raine's family,“Adam, what brings you by the hospital, hope Marcus is well?", he inquired with a perplexed look, and Adam nodded his head reassuringly, of which Sir Thomas nodded as well, and then leaned forward with a small smile on his face, “I'm glad I ran into you, I've been meaning to discuss business dealings with you. Do you think we can talk here?”Before Adam could respond, he could hear someone call out his name urgently from a distance, and the duo turned to the direction of the voice, only to find a nea
Rolling his eyes, Austin sneered disgustingly from where he stood, “Has to be a joke, you hand out an insignificant pill and you expect for it to work like magic! It's no different from what the great Doctor Stone did!" He spoke up while glaring at the occupants of the room,Madam Ruth harboured misgivings within her, and Austin's statement further proved her worries to be true, Having had enough of Austin's unnecessary shades and tantrums, Adam covered the distance between them and glared at him with an impassive expression on his face, he tilted his head to the side and appraised the smug man before him,Drawing himself to his full height, he spread his legs apart and with a gleam in his eyes dared to challenge Austin,“In a few minutes, Madam Ruth will begin to feel better and become healthy, and when that happens, you're going to publicly tender my apology that you still haven't given, and you're going to free Mira from your claws,”He added that for good measure and to also ril
Sir French was a man of integrity and loyalty and so Austin's adamancy rubbed him the wrong way, and so without giving it a second thought, he stormed to where Austin stood and dealt a blow to his chin, causing the latter to stagger back and gape at him with bulged eyes, his chin turning a dark shade of purple, The women gasped out and stared with eyes wide open,“Oh my God! Mr French, what has come over you?!"Madam Ruth exclaimed loudly, her hands over her mouth as she gaped, her eyes darting between the two men,Sir French with his nostrils flaring scowled up at Austin's face who was chagrined, his eyes blazing with intense hate but Sir French didn't mind his anger as he looked at him dead in the eyes,“You ought to know your place, Mr Adam isn't one to talk to in that manner, you have belittled him and yet he has said nothing, but I won't stand by and continuously watch him being insulted”Mira and her mother exchanged a curious and confused glance between themselves, and Madam R
Adam having left the hospital room with Sir French, decided to head back to Sage Robinson's base and check on Amber, he was still expecting So0hia who still had not shown up, He and Sir French were going to depart at that point, but we were just having a little chit-chat, with Adam appreciating him for his help back at the hospital. It had been unexpected, but it was still appreciated all the same. The two men shook their hands, clasping themselves on the back, but before they could disperse and go their separate ways, the car park was suddenly surrounded by a total number of what looked like five military vehicles,Adam and Sir French exchanged a curious look between themselves, while Sir French quickly took out his phone from his pocket, facing Adam, he uttered,“I don't know what's going on, but I think I smell trouble” and shrugged.Adam barely responded as he watched the parked vehicle, the vehicle looked menacing and rugged, and he wondered what the occupants of it would look
Austin let out a loud laugh that was filled with mockery, as he pointed at both men mockingly,“What? Cat got your tongue?!" Both Sir French as well as Adam ignored him, choosing to rather have identical smirks on their faces.Adam arched his brow at Austin, his voice was filled with subtle warning as he spoke,“Mr Parker, you don't want to do this"Austin scoffed and howled once more before his laughter morphed into an outburst,“Who are you to tell me what I choose to do, you fool?”He glanced at the army of men waiting behind him for his command before he smiled smugly at Adam once again,“Or is it because I'm yet to give the command that'll ruin your life?! Because I'm waiting for you to do the right thing and get on your feet to lick my boots?!” He further taunted, his eyes gleaming as he spoke.A crowd had already gathered at the parking lot when they had seen the fierce-looking vehicles and men and had begun to whisper amongst themselves, some had even dared to move nearer so
