In less than thirty minutes, they were able to arrive in front of the hospital after beating the morning traffic. Jason got out of the car even before James could get out to open the door for him, and he dashed into the hospital as fast as he could with thoughts of anticipation roaming in his mind. His face was not bright, but it had flickers of hope scattered all over it. “Good morning, Sir.” Greeted one of the nurses at the reception, and Jason quickly stopped after he almost walked past her as his mind was already focused on seeing his Grandfather. “Oh! I am so sorry. Good morning.” “No problem, Sir. How may I help you?” The nurse asked with a smile that expressed the fact that she recognized Jason even though she had to find out where he was headed. “Can I see the Doctor?” “You mean Doctor Brenda?” “Yes! Yes, please! Can I see her?” “Sure! Just a moment, please.” The nurse nodded with a smile, and then she picked up the telephone to dial a number while Jason waited
“I hope I am not disturbing you guys,” Brenda said as she walked toward the old man with her face brightened up as she held onto the saucer and the cup with a firm grip. “Oh! Doctor? You are here!” Lord Walker said as soon as he saw Brenda who dropped the saucer on the cabinet close to the bed, and lifted the cup with her left hand while she stirred the coffee with her right hand. “Here is your coffee, Lord Walker. Black, no sugar, and with a lot of cream.” Brenda removed the spoon from the cup and hit it on the brim of the cup to make a clanking sound just before she slowly handed the cup over to the old man. “Thank you. It smells nice.” Lord Walker dropped the magazine on the bed, and then he grabbed the cup from Brenda and took a sip with his eyes open. “Mmmh!” He nodded in satisfaction after he had tasted the coffee, and slowly he opened his eyes to look at Brenda who completely avoided having any eye contact with Jason who couldn’t stop staring at her. “Thank you, Docto
Lord Walker cleared his throat after a few seconds amidst the anticipation that roamed in the air. The look on his face showed that he had something very important to say even though he still maintained his smile, and after he had adjusted himself, he let out a heavy sigh before he continued. “Jack?” He turned to look at Jason who drew much closer, and stared at him without saying anything. “You know that you are not getting any younger, right? Whatever happened with your marriage with that spoilt Palmer brat shouldn’t dictate how you live your life. I think you need to find true love and get married.” “I knew it…” Jason thought to himself as he looked at the old man with a neutral expression even though he had a lot of things going through his mind. “Your father got married at a very young age just like you, but he was happier with your mother who helped him to expand the family businesses. You are the only one I have left, and I have to make sure that you are in the right ha
Harry couldn’t a word, he bent his face at once while the old man stared at him while he fumed with anger. “Harry wanted us to deal with them, Grandpa, but I insisted we let them be for now.” “Why, Jack? Why would you do that? These people are like mushrooms we can easily step on and destroy, don’t you know the kind of power you possess!” Lord Walker said emphatically as soon as he turned to look at Jason who took in a deep breath which he let out slowly before speaking calmly to his Grandfather. “I am aware of how powerful we are, Grandpa. But I couldn’t do anything to them without taking full custody of my child. I was afraid that they were going to put Henry in harm’s way while they were trying to get back at me for the things I did to them. I couldn’t risk it.” “And now? Is there any other thing stopping you from dealing with them?” “No, Grandpa.”“Good!” The old man nodded in satisfaction without letting go of the fury showing on his face. “You have everything at you
Harry turned to look at Jason after a few minutes, and after he had stared at the young man who didn’t even realize that he had been looking at him for a while, he chuckled, causing Jason to turn instantly. “Harry? Is everything alright?” Jason gave him an inquisitive stare at once, wondering why he had been staring to the point of almost startling him. “Everything is definitely fine, Young Master.” “Okay?” Jason retorted, certain that Harry had a reason for his actions. “Well, I am just glad that everything happened just the way you planned it. I know how worried you were a while ago, and now all of that worry has disappeared. I am glad that you ave found true peace, Young Master.” Jason chuckled almost immediately, and then he maintained a smile afterward while Harry looked at him with a bright expression. “Thank you, Harry. All these wouldn’t have been possible without your help. I owe you so much gratitude.” “I am always at your service, Young Master.” Harry bowed sl
“What happened, Harry? Talk to me.” Jason said after a few seconds, and Harry sighed heavily before he began to tell his story. “It happened way before I started working for your family. I was just sixteen and in high school. I had almost everything going well for me and my brother. We were almost inseparable and were always seen together. He was in his twelfth grade while I was a freshman.” Harry started with a low tone while Jason listened attentively. A few seconds later, the door opened from outside, and a nurse walked in with a tray carefully placed in her right hand. “Oh! I am sorry, I didn't know anyone was still inside. I could come back when no one is around.” The nurse expressed so much conflict in her as she attempted to turn around and walk out of the ward. “That won’t be necessary, nurse. You came to do your job, and do your job you must.” Jason responded at once, looking at the nurse with a smile, but she was unable to maintain eye contact with him, and it was ve
For a few seconds, the Doctor was silent as she wondered what was going on in the room. She looked at the nurse who managed to turn around to look at her while her hands couldn’t stop shaking. “Yes, I am aware of it. I asked the nurse to inject it into the IV bag. That's an immune booster.” Brenda confirmed, and Jason nodded in satisfaction. “You were right.” He said to the nurse who heaved a heavy sigh of relief, and it was visible that she had released so much tension in her body. “Is everything okay, nurse?” Brenda looked at the nurse who managed to nod after a few seconds, and then she looked at Jason to be sure that he wasn’t going to change his mind. “Are you sure about that? You look troubled.” “I am fine, Doctor.” The nurse managed to say with a shaky voice and after Brenda had observed her for a while, she sighed before going closer to her and demanded for the syringe in her right hand. “Let me have that,” Brenda said, extending her right hand toward the syringe t
Brenda nodded, and then she started to move toward the door with slow but steady steps“Go get something to eat, Young Master. I will watch over Lord Walker, and if there is any new development, I will definitely give you a call.” Harry assured with a smile which showed that he was so glad that Jason listened to him. “Make sure none of the guards leaves their positions, Harry.” “Understood, Young Master.” Harry nodded, and then he signaled to Jason to inform him that Brenda was finding it difficult to open the door. “Let me help you get that.” Jason quickly walked up to the door and opened it for the Doctor who chuckled as she walked out of the ward, carrying the tray with both hands. “You have nothing to worry about, Young Master. Go have some fun.” Harry said to Jason when he saw him turning to look at his Grandfather for the last time. Taking in a deep breath, Jason exhaled sharply, and then he left the ward before shutting the door behind him. He met Bruce, Ramon, Jam
