“Okay fine,” Adrian shrugged and moved backward then sat down on the chair. He leaned on the wall behind him and caressed his chin calmly with a sly smile on his face. He shook his head after estimating the time he had left before Dean, who was Dark Ace's minion, would give up the ghost. He wished he could save him but since they had underestimated him, he didn't have any reason to intervene. That was the type of world we live in. The rich or people at higher levels tend to belittle the poor or the less privileged. Or isn't it? “What are we going to do?” Dark Ace asked worriedly but none of them said anything. They couldn't tell what was happening to their friend. “Mr. Lucas, please can you help us?” Dark Ace asked nervously as he turned to a middle-aged man, who was sitting quietly in a corner with a cold look on his face. For the first time, Adrian noticed the presence of another man in the cell room apart from those cellmates who were trying to harass him before one o
“The commander?” Adrian asked with a worried look on his face and the female officer nodded her head affirmatively. “Are you sure?” He asked again, his heart racing rapidly. He didn't know the crime he had offended, which made the commander interested in seeing him. “Yes. And you should be at ease because he means no harm,” she said and he nodded his head calmly. “Don't worry. You'll be fine,” Dark Ace said and patted his shoulder. “We got your back,” they carried him to his feet and Dean stretched his crutches to him. He couldn't find the genuine smile that crept on his face after those guys helped him up. Unlike the rich people he saved on his wife's birthday, these people before him were grateful for saving their friend's life. He loved it. His head shook slightly after he remembered that he was being called the commander. Was it because of what Brian said? Did he talk to the commander to punish him? Different negative thoughts began to roam around in his head and e
“You don't need to thank me because you're going to save some lives today so I hope you won't disappoint me,” the commander said and he smiled. “Of course, I won't. I'll do all I can in my power to save them, Sir,” Adrian said confidently and the commander smiled. “But sir how did I know that you won't go back on your…” the commander interrupted him before he could complete his statement. “Go back on my words?” The commander asked as though he knew what Adrian wanted to say. Adrian stared at him with a surprised look, unable to fathom how that man managed to know it was him. “Yes, sir,” he responded and lowered his head. “Well, I know this is going to happen, that's why I prepared this contract to validate my words,” the commander said and brought out two copies of documents. He stretched one at Adrian and kept the other one for himself. “What is this, Sir?” he asked. “That is the agreement between both of us that I'll release after you save those patients in the ward. I'm doi
What!He staggered backward and held onto his crutches so that he wouldn't lose his balance and fall. His heart skipped as he watched his wife hug the man, who seemed to be a rich person. He hugged her tightly as though his life depended on his wife. His heart broke into pieces as he watched his wife glance at him and turn to the man then entered into the car, pretending as though she didn't see him. He shook his head with a sigh and bit on his lower lips with an angry look on his face. Of course, she wouldn't let the rich man before her see her husband who was supposed to be locked up in the cell because she thought he plotted what happened to her last night. He was worried that she wasn't going to be fine with the presence of Smith but he could only care less afterward. He saw her doing fine with another man so there isn't any reason for him to worry or bother himself about her well-being. “I’ll be fine. I believe that,” he said even though he knew clearly that he was lying t
For the second time in his life, he was awe-struck and confused about what to think about his wife. First, he heard her moaning inside the master bedroom and when he checked, he didn't find anyone like he thought he would. Secondly, he saw her with another man and when she saw him, she ignored him and pretended as though she didn't see him. But now, she was in the police station yelling at the officer not caring about her reputation because of his dismissal at the police station. Was it because she wanted to see him suffer in the police station? Or was it because she felt remorse and wanted to see him again? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. She was the only one who could give him an answer to the question that was bothering his mind. He held on to the crutches, contemplating whether to go and meet her after what he'd seen or if he should hide from her. He decided to give her a chance to explain herself even though he had yet to know why she was there. With u
Mr. Lucas opened his eyes after Adrian's screams interrupted him while he was meditating. He looked up with a confused and cold gaze. His eyes widened in shock as his gaze landed on the person lying weakly on the floor beside him. He rushed toward Adrian, who was groaning in pain. His clothes were stained with his mouth. And each time he coughed, blood kept oozing out of his mouth. “What's wrong with you?” Mr. Lucas asked worriedly as he carried Adrian into his arms. “I don't know. I… I think I'm poisoned,” Adrian replied in a calm tone. Although he didn't want to admit that he was poisoned because he couldn't believe that his wife poisoned his food, he was feeling pain in his abdomen. And if nothing is done, he is going to die. “Poisoned? You brought the food?” Mr. Lucas asked as he tore Adrian's shirt apart, trying all he could do as an experienced man to revive the young man before him. “It's me… never mind… forget about it,” Adrian replied and shook his head vehemently, not
Adrian opened his eyes weakly as the ray of the light pierced into his eyes through the window. He rubbed his palm on his face and looked away with a cold look on his face. He bit on his lower lips as his head banged with an excruciating pain. “What am I doing here?” He asked himself with a weak tone as he glanced across the room that was painted in white. He turned to the left and saw an intravenous drip connected to his wrist. He shook his head with a sigh after realizing that he was in a ward. Why am I alive? I should be dead. Shouldn't I? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. His head panged with unbearable pain each time he tried to remember what happened last night. And when the memory came rushing back, he was angry. He was angry that the commander came into the picture and shoved the pill down his throat, thereby stopping him from dying. Isn't dying better? At least, he wouldn't have to feel insecure about his wife having sex with another man anymore. And
Adrian couldn't hide the sweet and proud smile that mounted on his face the moment he heard their chant, especially the nickname they gave to him. THE MAGICAL DOCTOR. Although he didn't see anything he should be called a magical doctor, he loved it and couldn't deny it. “The magical doctor?” He muttered to himself and smiled. He raised his left hand and waved it swiftly to acknowledge their greeting while clenching the crutches firmly. He couldn't afford to trip and fall. “Thanks,” he said and the hailing continued till he got to his cell. The other inmate from another cell couldn't stop hailing him. The officers on duty didn't bother to stop those people hailing him because he did an incredible job by saving those people in the infirmary. “How are you?” Dark Ace asked in a calm tone as Adrian entered the cell. Adrian smiled and nodded his head in response. “I'm fine. Thanks for your concern.”“It's a good thing that you're fine. I thought the DPO wanted to see you for somethin

“How could you do such a thing?” Adrian began to blame him and Daniel didn't like it. “Fine. I shouldn't have done such a thing but I have no choice,” Daniel said and Smith stared at him with a confused look on his face. “What do you mean? You have always had a choice. You made it so what are you saying about it?” He asked with an angry look on his face. “You won't blame me. Not like it's my fault anyway.”“If you'd listened to me when I told you to stop giving free meditation, I wouldn't have done such a thing but you didn't listen instead you ignored me,” Daniel said and he shrugged. “How could you do such a thing because of that, huh? What if that man went overboard and burned down this place just like he'd threatened?” Adrian half-yelled and he shook his head with a sigh. “Fine. I shouldn't have done it. And I'm very sorry. Please forgive me,” he said and Adrian scoffed. “Get the hell out of my face,” he said in a cold tone and Daniel nodded his head. “You won't forgive me
“What are you talking about?” The man blinked twice and looked away. “I don't know unless you tell me the person who paid you to frame me,” Adrian said in a cold and firm tone. The man looked up and glanced at his face then looked away quickly. “How did this cripple doctor know too much?” He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer. He couldn't get the reason why Adrian was able to uncover his flaws within seconds just after touching his hand and checking his pulse. Adrian smirked discreetly when he noticed the look on the old man's face. He knew what the old man was hiding. What the man didn't know was that he wasn't only a local doctor but he was a smart one indeed. The man admitted to the claims that he changed the prescription but he didn't tell anyone who told him to change the prescription. The man does not know the medical field so he couldn't change the drugs anyhow. And besides, he was desperate. It could be whether he was convinced to change the prescription or som
“You'll burn down my burn for what? What have I done wrong? So it's my fault treating you,” Adrian said in a calm tone. He remained indifferent and unfazed. He didn't care. He was ready for whatever that was going to happen because he knew that the illness should have healed up by then. “Don't give us that crap. It seems you don't care about your life, huh?” one of those men asked with an angry look on his face. “I do but you have to give me a few details before you can conclude that I'm sent to him or whatever.”“Or is this how you're going to treat me even after treating you for free?” Adrian asked in an annoyed tone and they scoffed. “That's the main reason why I'm suspicious of you. Who else gives medicine for free in this recession, huh?” The man spoke up in a harsh tone and he took a deep breath. Adrian bit on his lower lips and clenched into his crutches then approached the man, who glared at him disdainfully. “What are you doing?” One of those men asked and surrounded th
The next day, he opened his eyes as his alarm blared out loudly. He groaned out with a frustrated look on his face and reached out to the alarm on the table then put it off. “Why do you have to disturb me, huh?” He asked and stood up from the bed. He yawned and rubbed his hand on his eyes. He reached out to the crutches on the floor and clenched them close to himself. “Ahh…” he grunted out in pain as he struggled to climb down from the bed with the crutches. He limped toward the nightstand where his phone was ringing. He reached out to it and picked it up from the nightstand. He rested his arm on crutches and swiped through the phone with his right hand. He arched his eyebrows with a confused look on his face as he stared at the caller ID, which turned out to be Chloe. Why is she talking to him? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. He took a deep breath and picked the call then placed the phone close to his ears. “Hello,” he spoke up in his cold tone. “Hello,
By the time Adrian arrived home, he was tired and his body was aching seriously. He took a deep breath as he stood before the door and glanced at it with uncertainty in his heart. He couldn't stop feeling bad for what he said to Mr. Daniel. Mr. Daniel looked hurt and heartbroken after he made such a statement. He wished he could reverse what he said but it was too late. The deed has already been done. He could only beg him and ask for his forgiveness to soothe his heart. I knocked at the door and the door creaked open, revealing Daniel who was in a singlet and a short. “Welcome,” he said casually and turned to the left. “Daniel,” he called him back but Daniel pretended as though he didn't hear him. “Please don't leave yet,” he said and Daniel stopped on his track then turned to him. “What's the problem?” Mr. Daniel asked with a cold look on his face and he hit on his lower lips, unaware of what to say or do. “About what I said to you earlier. I know I shouldn't have judged you
“It seems someone misses me,” he said as he approached them and they nodded their heads quickly. “Yes. We missed you, Mr. Adrian.”“Where have you been?”“Why didn't you open the shop? We have been worried whether something is wrong with you,” one of them said and he shrugged. “Worried about me or worried that I wouldn't be able to treat you if anything happens to me,” he demanded and they kept quiet. “It's still the same. Not like it's different,” one of the people, who were waiting for him, replied in a hoarse tone. He shook his head with a sigh and reached out for the key inside his pocket then insisted it inside the keyhole and opened the door.His patient pushed the door open because of his condition and they walked inside the shop. “Please treat me first. I came earlier,” one of them said and the other one disagreed. “That's not true. I came earlier than you but I went to do something so I returned to meet you,” he said. “Why did you leave if your health is important to y
“What if I told him that you're a local doctor? Aren't you?” Daniel asked in a cold tone and Adrian looked up with an angry and shocked expression on his face. “That's not possible. You didn't tell him, right?” Adrian asked in a concerned tone and Daniel scoffed. “What's with the look? I told him, "So what's the problem?” Daniel asked in a cold tone and he groaned out with a frustrated look on his face. “How could you tell him that I'm a local doctor? Can't you tell that he's someone that you shouldn't entrust my secret to and besides, he seems to be a powerful individual,” he said and Daniel shrugged. “I know and that's the reason why I told him the truth. I can't afford to offend someone like him. And besides, he paid me a lot of money,” Daniel said and rubbed his hand on his hair. “How could you tell him? You don't know the implication of what you've just done. I bet you don't know.”“How could you stoop so low and give me out to him because of your love of money? I know that
“What are they talking about?” Adrian asked himself with a confused look on his face as he glanced at Daniel and the same weird man he had spoken to earlier. He was worried. He knew the man was up to no good. Why did he go and meet his partner of all people? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. “Get inside. Let's go,” Chloe, who didn't notice what was going on, said as she held the knob of the door. “Adrian?” She called out to him when she noticed that he wasn't paying attention to her and he was staring at someone else. He heard her calling him but he was keen to know why the man that challenged him was speaking with Daniel, who was his partner. “What could he be thinking about? And what is he looking at?” she asked herself with a confused look on her face. She looked up and a soft gasp escaped from her lips as her gaze landed on Martin, who was discussing with Daniel. “What could he be telling him?” She muttered and Adrian turned to her when he heard her ques
