The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Breathless
By the time Jason woke up, it was already dark, and the lights in the room had automatically brightened up, causing him to blink severally as they dazzled his face. Slowly, he pushed himself up from the bed and headed into the bathroom to freshen up. Coming out in less than twenty minutes, he grabbed his phone and walked out of the room to his son’s room. “Henry?” He met the toddler playing with the toys hanging above him as he lay in his cradle. From the giggles he made, it was obvious that he was very happy with his new home. Seeing his father, his elation increased, and he gestured for him to pick him up at once, clapping both hands while he voiced the only words he was able to make. “Da-Da! Da-Da!” “Daddy is here.” Jason picked up his son and then placed him on his shoulder before walking out of the room and shutting the door behind him. He walked slowly through the hallway until he got to his Grandfather’s door which he opened slowly and looked. “Grandpa!” He panicked

The men returned their gazes to the old man who suddenly fell on his back, and let out a huff from his mouth and nostrils. The remaining blood on his face trickled down and stained the white bedspread. “Is he…” Jason couldn’t get himself to complete the words he had in mind as he looked at his Grandfather whose stillness made his heart try to escape from his chest. He bent down at once and placed his ear on his chest. He listened for a few seconds, but he couldn’t hear anything. “His heart stopped,” Jason announced with a weak tone, almost shedding tears as he looked at Harry who decided to check himself. He placed his ear on the old man’s chest and listened attentively while Jason watched keenly, hoping that he was wrong. Slowly, Harry lifted his head from the old man, and his countenance was enough to tell that he confirmed the words Jason said earlier. “Did you hear anything?” Jason asked even though the Butlers’s countenance was enough to give him the answer he wanted. “

For a few seconds, Brenda stared at Jason who held her hand as soon as she tried to inject the old man with the syringe in her right hand, before she sighed softly and spoke with a calm voice. “This is meant to buy him more time till we find a permanent solution or something that would be able to prolong his life till the solution is available. This will boost his immune.” Brenda showed the syringe to Jason who stared at it with so much uncertainty written all over his face. “Must you inject it through his heart? What happened to his hands?” “His body is too weak to push the booster to his heart, his nerves are not functioning currently. The best shot we have at this is to give him the shot directly in his heart.” “Won’t it kill him?” Harry stole the words from Jason who stared at Brenda, waiting for her to give a response. “I already told you guys that this is really dangerous, and it is our best shot at this moment. His heartbeat is faint, and he has already lost more than
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Antidote
“This can’t be happening.” Jason struggled to catch his breath while his hands continued to shake profusely. It felt as though he was being electrocuted with a taser. “You can’t do this, Grandpa. You are the only one I have left.” Jason sniffled to stop himself from crying while he moved his hands all over the old man’s body. “I am sorry, Jason. I wish this could have ended better.” Brenda said with a shaky voice, but Jason ignored her and continued staring at the old man. Almost immediately, the door was pushed open from the outside, and three men ran into the room. “We’ve got it! We are here!” Resounded the deep male voice that caused the three people standing close to the old man to turn in that direction to see Chang hurriedly walking toward them alongside the two guards Bruce and Ramon who were on both sides. “I have been calling you!” “I am sorry, Mr. Harrison! I lost my phone on our way back from the airport.” Bruce apologized with his face bent to the ground. “He
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Second Chances
Jason hurried to his Grandfather who coughed for the second time and bent toward him with his face anxious. “Grandpa? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? It’s me, your Grandson!” Jason gently grabbed the old man’s arms and looked at his eyes which were trying to open as he flickered instantly. “Excuse me.” Brenda quickly grabbed her stethoscope and hurried to the old man while Jason moved away to let her do her job. “How is this possible?” Brenda whispered to herself as she checked the old man’s heartbeat and pulse, and then she opened his eyes and gasped slightly. “What is it?” Jason inquired from the Doctor who turned to look at him almost immediately. “This is a miracle! I was sure that I didn’t hear any heartbeat from his chest. He is totally fine, all the symptoms have vanished. How is this possible?” Brenda turned to look at Chang who had a fulfilled smile on his face which was accompanied by a heavy sigh of relief. “Told you! Herb will work! Herb will work! It worked!
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Proper Medication
Hearing the footsteps that were following him from the back, Chang turned around slowly, and when he saw Jason right behind him, he increased the pace of his steps, within a few seconds, he was at the staircase and descended hastily. “Funny.” Jason chuckled as he watched Chang from behind while climbing down the stairs as well. He shook his head slightly, and as soon as he got to the living room, he hastened to the door and walked out of the mansion. He met the guards closing the door to one of the vans parked in front of the mansion with the Doctor standing close to them. Harry walked out from the other side of the van and went straight to Jason whose eyes were focused on the back window of the van as he tried to look to see if he was going to be able to see his Grandfather. “Are you letting him go?” Harry asked with a low tone, looking at Chang who was slowly walking away, and turning at intervals to be sure that Jason was not going to change his mind anytime soon. “Yeah,

Filled with the thoughts of the morning, Jason woke up before the alarm could go off, and as soon as he got down from the bed and attempted to go into the bathroom, the alarm went off and he stretched and turned it off. “Grandpa?” He whispered to himself, and quickly getting up from the bed, he walked into the bathroom and took a quick shower. He put on a pair of navy blue suits and a brown shoe before stepping out of the room after he had taken his phone and car key. He walked straight to his son’s room, and seeing that he was still asleep, he silently walked out of the room and started walking toward the elevator. “Good morning, Young Master.” “Good morning, Harry. I hope you slept well.” Jason lifted his face as soon as he heard the Butler’s voice, anticipating some news from him. “I should be asking you, Young Master. It looks like you didn’t sleep for so long.” “Well, let’s say that I have been thinking about the events of today. How is my Grandfather?” Jason stood
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Courhouse
Throughout the ride from the Villa to the courthouse, Jason held onto the thoughts of anticipation that lingered in his mind. Finally, it was time to sever ties with Isabella completely, and he just couldn’t wait for everything to end before going ahead with the second phase of his plans. Henry was the only reason why he had not carried out his plans for the Palmers, and cutting ties with them entirely was the only thing he was waiting for, and that was going to take place soon. As soon as he drove into the vicinity of the courthouse, he saw the familiar white G-wagon parked in front of the building, and he recognized it at once. That was Clark’s car, he could never forget it. “They are actually here already.” He whispered to himself, and a few seconds later, he saw Isabella and Clark walking out from the back of the building with another man who looked like he was an important personality in the courthouse. The look on their faces showed signs that they were conspiring, and
