“Yes. It's special. And I would appreciate it if you could…” Daniel interrupted him before he could complete his statement. “I understand but who's going to run the business? You don't expect me to take up your job, right?” Daniel asked and he took a deep breath. “It's you. Please cover up for me. And besides, you said you aren't going anywhere today,” he said in a cold tone. “Yes, you're right. I'm not going anywhere but that doesn't mean that you should hand me over to the shop. And besides, do I look like an experienced doctor to you?” Daniel asked and he scoffed. “So you acknowledge me as a doctor. That's quite generous of you, Mr. Daniel,” Adrian smiled and looked away.“Don't be this cold. Try to help. I have written the medicine you could give to any patient with any illness so don't try to wither away,” he said in a cold tone and Mr. Daniel nodded his head hesitantly. “Okay, fine. I'll do it. So can you leave and stop disturbing me?” Mr. Daniel asked and he scoffed. “Tha
“We’re there, ma'am,” they looked up as the chauffeur spoke up, interrupting their conversation. “Wow. So fast,” Chloe commented and Adrian nodded his head. He reached out to his crutches and held them closely as the bodyguard came out of their cars and opened the limousine car. Chloe placed her hand around Adrian's waist and supported him out of the car so he wouldn't miss his step and fall on the floor. He turned to her with a bright smile beaming on her face. “Thanks,” he said and she nodded. She had stopped him from addressing her as ma'am since he was older than her and they'd become closer than before. “Where is your invitation…” the guard at the gateway swallowed hard and lowered his head in fright as his gaze landed on Chloe. “Invitation card? This is it,” Chloe chuckled and stretched the card at him even though she knew she didn't have to. “I'm sorry for bothering you. Pardon my manners, ma'am,” the security guard said and she nodded her head. “Follow me,” she said an
“Good morning, Madam Chloe,” Mr. Daniel greeted and bowed his head respectfully. She scoffed and looked away. “Stop with the hypocrisy,” she said in a cold tone and he swallowed hard. He was aware of what he did so he didn't bother to make me angry further by questioning her. He kept quiet and crossed his hands behind his back. “I know that I have offended you and I shouldn't have lied to you when I was…” she interrupted him before he could complete his statement. “That's enough. You're making me angrier and my wrath isn't something you want for yourself so I'd advise you to respect yourself and stay away from me,” she said warningly and he nodded his head. He lowered his head in shame and Adrian chuckled coldly. “Are you done with him?” He asked in a calm tone and she nodded her head. “Of course, what else do I have to discuss with a con man like him?” She said and moved forward. Adrian stopped on his track, turned, and whispered to Mr. Daniel, who snapped at him. “You shoul
“You haven't answered my question. Or aren't you going to answer my question?”“Are you trying to say that I'm not in my right senses, Miss Sarah?” Chloe asked in a cold and dominant tone. Sarah lowered her head in shame and turned to Adrian, who glared at her with a cold look on his face. “How is this possible?” She asked in a low tone as she leaned closer to Adrian, who stepped backward. “Learn to maintain social distance. Or have you suddenly lost your etiquette?” He asked and she bit on her lower lips. She didn't dare to talk back because she knew that she would end up in trouble and she wouldn't want that for herself. She lowered her head and kept quiet. Chloe ignored the look on her face and turned to Adrian, who nodded his head at her. She walked closer to him and crooked her hand into his hand. “How did we look? Don't we look good together, Miss Sarah?” She asked. “I don't. Why are you asking me, ma'am?” Sarah asked in an annoyed tone and she chuckled. “Oh, that's rig
The gentlemen stared at her with a surprised look as she yelled at them with a cold look on her face. She seems agitated and angry at them as though they'd done something wrong. They've done something wrong but they didn't expect her to be so angry because it had to do with Adrian, who happened to be a handicap. Why is she so concerned about him? For the past few times they've met, they know that she doesn't get involved with anyone. But why is she defending Adrian like there's more to their relationship? The man, who seemed interested in her, stroked his chin and stared at her with a confused look on her face. “If I may ask, what's wrong with you, madam Chloe?” The man asked in a calm tone and she turned to him with a cold gaze on her face. “How dare you ask me such a question after addressing him as a riff-raff?” She asked in a cold tone and he snapped. “What is he if he isn't a riff-raff, huh? He's just a handicapped man anyway,” the man retorted in a frustrated tone and sh
“What do you want, Martin? And why are you here?” The General asked in a cold tone and Martin smiled. “You can be here so why can't I be here? Don't you think that's too cruel to think only you will enjoy the scenario?” Martin asked as he walked toward them.“You know that's not what I mean so tell me why you're here,” he said. “You're indeed a smart man, General. I heard a familiar name so I decided to come and check him out myself.”“Adrian, isn't he?” Martin asked and chuckled gently. “What an interesting name!”“What are you planning to do? Don't you dare to do anything to him,” the General said nervously and Martin chuckled coldly. “Aren't you the one who claimed that he isn't the illegitimate doctor? Why are you nervous?”“What are you hiding from us, General?” He asked. “I'm not hiding anything from you so you should keep quiet and get the hell out of my face,” the General said and Martin bowed his head slightly. “Can someone explain what's happening here?”“What are you
Adrian arched his eyebrows and turned back with a confused and suspicious look on his face as he heard a voice from behind. He stared at the man with uncertainty in his heart. He didn't know whether the man was someone he should avoid or not. How did he know that he was a doctor? He also came to the scenes and left when he realized that it was fake. “What's the problem? Won't you treat him, Mr. Adrian?” The man asked and he took a deep breath. He decided to play along because he wasn't sure whether the man knew he was a doctor or not. And besides, he hasn't seen anyone with such personality in that little town. Even if the man had heard of him, he wouldn't address him in such a way too. “Why should I? Do I look like a doctor to you?” He asked in a cold tone as he clenched his crutches firmly. “Aren't you a doctor?” The man asked and he scoffed. “Maybe you should tell me my profession then and where you've seen me treated before,” he replied and the man scoffed. “You're smarte
“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
