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
“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
“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
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
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,
