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
Huh? Adrian stared at him with a confused look, unable to understand what he meant by that statement. “What do you mean, Sir?” He asked and the middle-aged man before him smiled while stroking his long beard. The man only smiled and looked away without saying anything. Adrian knew that he didn't want to say anything about the comment he made so he decided not to be persistent. “From the look of things, you must be rich. May I know what brought you to this place in the first place?” He asked. “Yes, you're right not every question has an answer,” the man spoke up after a few seconds of silence. Adrian nodded his head without saying anything after hearing the man's statement. Of course, he knew the man had an agenda but he couldn't tell what it was. Although he didn't have any reason to know what the man was planning, he wanted to know why such a powerful man stooped so low to stay in a cell. “Hope you aren't annoyed that I didn't give you the answer you wanted or expected,” the
“Huh? What are you talking about?” She asked with a confused look but he paid no attention to her countenance. He was burning with rage, remembering what he passed through in the infirmary and how he had almost given up the ghost just to prove a point to her. Sending him to jail isn't enough for her? Why is she acting nice and pretending as though nothing happened? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. Maybe that was the reason why she was quite nervous when she noticed that he was the one at the doorstep and not someone else. “You don't need to pretend. I know you're angry at me for what I did to him but I didn't expect you to go as far as trying to…” he took a deep breath as his heartbeat began to race rapidly more than its normal pace. “Pretend? What are you talking about, huh?” She yelled back at him and he looked up at her with a confused look. Judging from her countenance and statement, he could tell that she didn't know anything about what he was seeing an
“What do you mean by that?” Adrian asked in a cold tone, unable to understand what Brian was saying. “What didn't you understand? That part that I said that the maid refused to say anything or the part that I said it's a wonder you managed to survive,” Brian said in a cold tone and chuckled. He turned to Adrian with a sly smile on his face. “Who cured you? Let me know. It won't be hard to compensate the person who managed to cure the Lambia poison,” Brian said and he swallowed hard. “The Lambia poison?” He asked with a surprised look on his face and Brian smirked discreetly. “I'm sure you haven't gone deaf all of a sudden,” he said.“Judging by your expression, you should know how dangerous and powerful that poison is,” Brian said, and Adrian bit on his lower lips. The Lambia poison could be regarded as one of the most rare and lethal poisons in the world that kills in no less than thirty minutes. “What! How could you do such a thing?”“That's because you're overstepping your b
Adrian stared at his mother-in-law with a confused look on his face. He dropped the phone and stared at her deeply, unaware of why she was asking him such a question. “May I know what you mean? I don't seem to understand,” he said and she scoffed. “What don't you understand, huh?” She asked in a cold tone and he swallowed hard. “I said why didn't you accept Chloe's offer? Why did you reject it?” She asked and he shook his head with a sigh after he understood what she meant. “Because I feel there's no reason to accept the offer,” he replied and she glared at him viciously.She was angry at him for talking to her in such a tone. “No reason?” She asked and scowled. “How dare you say such a thing, huh! You've been eating and living without contributing to help the family. You'd the opportunity to hit the jackpot but you turned it down and even still have the gut to talk to me in such a way,” she said and he shook his head.He dropped the spoon on the table and placed his hand under
“Yes, you're right. I'm your husband,” Adrian said and a proud smile crept on her face. “But why are you asking me all these questions lately?” his wife, Sarah, asked with a confused look on her face and he looked away. “That's because you've been acting strange lately but now, I understand,” he said and she scoffed. “You’re my husband so I have every reason to be by your side and support you,” she said and he smiled gently. “Thank you for standing by me,” he responded and she smiled gently at him. “Yeah. I would be with you through thick and thin that's the vow we made. Isn't it?” She asked and he nodded his head. “And besides, I'm the reason why you're in this state. This wouldn't have happened to you if you didn't come and push me from getting hit by the running truck,” she said and he shook his head with a sigh. “You don't have to think like that, okay? I did that because you're my wife.”“I don't want you to think that I'm in this state because of you. You don't owe me an
