Andrew understood that he was still trying to pass through the phase of the mini surgery he had just had.“Adrian, try to calm down. Do not put too much pressure on yourself.” Andrew tried to caution him.Adrian couldn’t really hear what he said, so, he was still going through the excruciating pain which the high piercing sound, was giving him, at that moment.“Arrrgh.” Adrian grunted in pain.Andrew had no choice than to sedate him, as things could get worse if he left him that way.“I’ll be right back. Just hold on.” He urged, and then quickly left.He went into the little office he had in his home, and then searched through the trolley to get a syringe.“Yes.” He said as he found it, and then got what he needed, before he dashed back to the room which he kept Adrian.By then, Adrian had fallen to the ground, and was writhing in pain.“Shit” Andrew cursed, and quickly injected him with the syringe.Slowly, Adrian began to calm down and his breathing pace became normal. “Easy. Yes,
“Andrew?” Adrian called his name again, looking really perplexed.“Bingo!” Andrew voiced out, and smiled.Adrian’s concentration on Andrew shifted to the change that had occurred in his body, which was the fact that he couldn’t feel the pain which was intense, before. Not that the pain had gone numb; this particular one had disappeared completely.He had to touch his forehead as he could see that Andrew was staring at his forehead, with a smile, and to his surprise, it was as smooth the other parts of his face.“Oh, my goodness! Can you explain how on earth, this happened?” Adrian exclaimed, in shock.“It’s the system.” Andrew responded, with a smile as he came closer.“The system? How? I don’t seem to understand.”“The system had connected to the tissues, and every thing that makes up the skin and tissues around that place, to heal up quickly.” Andrew explained.“Did you know about this before?”“Uhm… Not really. But while I was making my research, I found out, and then discovered tha
Adrian moved closer to Lucas to know what was going on, and they both stepped into the office.“What’s going on?” Adrian asked, out of curiosity, and concern.“I traced Regina, and we both know that she has been frequenting Steve Wilson’s home, but there was a particular place which really brought about suspiciousness.” Lucas uttered as he turned on the tab, and Adrian’s eyes were fixed on it.“What place is that?” He asked, inquisitively.“Look. She drove off to a lonely building. From there, I already knew that something was wrong, so all I had to do was to wait, and see what was going on. I had to wait for about thirty minutes, while ensuring that my dash cam was capturing everything.”“Hmm.”“Look. Here, she came out with these men who obviously look dangerous, and she handed a scroll or something to them.”“Hmm. Which means they are on to something, and we’ve got to find out, before it catches us unaware.”“I know just how to make it easy for us.” Lucas spoke, and there was an int
The cops showed them the warrant to search the company, and the manager couldn’t do anything. Even when he wanted to excuse himself, Adrian ensured that the cops didn’t allow him to.He knew that there was a possibility that he might want to inform Steve Wilson, just so he would find a way to counter the situation. Adrian came prepared, so, there was nothing anyone could do, at this point.“Put a call through the secretary to bring out the general record of this company” Adrian ordered him, and the manager did that, reluctantly.Adrian was on his neck, staring at every process, and every thing he did, so he wouldn’t be able to do anything else.Adrian looked around the company, staring at how everyone seemed anxious, or curious about all that was going on. They had walked out all customers in the nicest way possible, so, none was angry, but understood that there was a situation going on.In a short while, the secretary brought the general record of the company, and Adrian stood while
Adrian waited until he stepped into his room, and hung his suit jacket, before he finally answered the call which had rung thrice already.“Aren’t you losing your cool by calling repeatedly?” Adrian teased, with a smile on his face.He was glad that he had struck a blow at Steve Wilson, and before he was going to untie the knot which he had created around his company, he hoped that he was going to make it tighter, by involving the Governor in it.“How dare you! Do you know you are a young boy, playing with fire!” Steve Wilson questioned, clearly raged by what was going on.Then Adrian chuckled.“Playing with fire? No. I’m using it to my advantage, which means I’m going to burn you seriously with it to an extent that you’ll regret you ever came across me.” Adrian spoke, now with a serious facial expression.“Really? You dared lock my company up?”“You mean the company which you hijacked from me. And you had the guts to run it in the worst way possible. I’m certain that my grandfather w
Sophie fell to the ground, feeling really weak. The anxiousness which filled her heart up, made her seem weaker, and like she was going to die, anytime soon.“Help.” She managed to utter, but it was in a low tone, and even if an ant was passing by, it wouldn’t hear her.Her eyes had cleared a little, and she could see her phone a distance away; which wasn’t too far from her hand, but at that moment, not even her hand could move.It was like she was using all her strength which was divided to help every part of her body to function; to breathe.Tears streamed down her face as she had no idea of the things which were to happen to her next. She remembered that Lucas had told her to be extra careful and at alert. What she should have done was to have been extra alert before she walked right into the alley.The man would have certainly been trailing her the moment she got down from the cab, but now, there was nothing she could do. The deed had been done, and the only person that came to he
The trio all exchanged glances, and while Adrian didn't want Sophie to hear of all this, there was nothing he could do about it again, because she had already heard.He watched as tears ran down her eyes, and his heart broke.“Doctor, there has to be something you can do or say about this.” Lucas spoke, but Adrian raised his right hand as a gesture for Lucas not to bother speaking further.“We understand this could be beyond your medical knowledge, and it's fine. We'll find something else to do about it.”“No. I can make a research about it, and although, it can take a few days, but I'll be sure to get to the root of this for you, because this is really dangerous to her health.” The doctor insisted, also looking concerned.“No. You don't have to worry. She can't keep on like this, for days. I have another solution. Thank you for your time, and concern.” Adrian uttered, and the doctor had no choice than to heed to what Adrian had just told him.Then Adrian escorted him back outside, an
They all had no choice than to accept the news, as long as she was okay at that moment. Adrian also felt that he had to be quick with things, so that Sophie wouldn't have to go through such excruciating moment.“Thank you so much.” Adrian appreciated the toxicologist.“My pleasure.” He responded.Adrian had to escort the toxicologist and Andrew out, as time was far spent already, and they really tried by coming to their aid, by this time.“Alright, goodnight. And thanks so much again.” “You're welcome, Adrian. Just ensure she's fine.” Andrew spoke as he got into the car, and Adrian nodded in response.After he had watched their car, zoom into thin air, he went back inside, and up to the room where Sophie was.Sophie seemed to be sleeping soundly, which meant that she wasn't really feeling pain and all.It made Adrian feel less burdened and relieved that she was better, now.“I really do hope she doesn't have to go through that excruciating moment.” Lucas uttered as he stared at Soph
