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
“Transaction fail?” He asked with a confused look on his face and the sales rep scoffed and then snatched the POS machine from him. “Yeah. And that's because you're poor. You shouldn't have stress if you know that you don't have enough funds in your account,” she brought out the ATM card and threw it at him. “Keep it to yourself. I'll let you go off the hook but next time you stress me out without paying your bill, I'll make sure I call the security guards on you,” she said in a cold tone and he lowered his head in shame. He arched his eyebrows and stroked his chin gently with a confused look on his face. He couldn't understand why his account couldn't make the payment successful. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked up with a cold look on his phone as a message popped into his phone. He hissed and shook his head upon reading the content of the message. It was a message from the Finite Bank where he saved his money. “We had issues processing the payment you made a few minute

“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
