Chapter 3: Little Time Left

"Since he has only that little life left, make him useful and use him to build some solid connections for us. After all, he had taken the appearance of that vixen." Grandma Winston said with a tut as she looked at the young man that sat with his head down looking at her.

No matter how one looked at it, he looked very healthy and imposing, yet, after the family doctor had run a check on him, he had announced that he had only one year left to live at most.

They had been unable to believe it and had their family doctor come over to run some other checks, and the results had been even worse than the original one that he was given.

"Father, grandmother is right. Since elder brother is so sick, it's better to give him off to someone that could help the family company in this situation," Luke said, looking at Raymond with a scheming glint.

Since they were young, his older brother had taken all the limelight from him and even made him, who had originally thought he was the legitimate son, become the illegitimate son.

Thankfully, his mother had acted fast and had him taken care of before he could even claim the title. Now that he was back, he was going to have him taken care of before he could even dare to have any thoughts against his position.

As he planned, he sent a message to Stella.

"My brother has agreed. You can start the preparations as soon as possible." He typed it and then sent it.

Raymond, on the other hand, acted like he didn't understand what was going on around him.

"You can go back to your apartment. Your father will send someone to fetch you soon," Amanda said. Although it was better to keep him here, she couldn't stand seeing him around her, especially with that exceptional face that reminded her of his mother.

Raymond nodded, stood up, and left. As he walked off, the remaining family looked at his imposing back, which seemed to be different from the man that had sat there with his head lowered.

"Have you informed the first daughter that we have agreed with the conditions?" John asked without even waiting for Raymond to leave completely and then stood up satisfied after getting a positive response. Neither of them had even considered the possibility of him being treated or getting better and just focused on maximizing his importance before he died.

As he left the mansion, Raymond walked some distance away from the house before getting into a black car. From the outside, the car looked basic and didn't even look like it cost much. However, the inside of the car was well-built and well-designed.

"Young master, you look pale." The man in the driver's seat said as Raymond sat down and rested his head.

"Go home. I'll call the specialists now." He told him and then pulled out his phone to call the specialist from hades hospital.

Although they had called hades hospital before, this was different because they were the emergency team. On the other hand, the people that handled his case were specialists.

After giving them the appropriate instructions, he closed his eyes and allowed himself to think over everything that had happened while he was back there.

He knew that he was deathly sick. However, when that woman passed beside him, she carried a certain scent that knocked him out immediately.

He had been out of the country for the past ten years. He was certain that Amanda didn't have the influence to know his condition and know what could trigger the poisons that were deep in his bones unless she had something to do with the poison originally.

His brows furrowed as he thought of that possibility, and his fists clenched tightly.

'Amanda! Better pray that you know nothing about this, otherwise….'

The car soon stopped in front of an old apartment outside town, and Adams, who was driving, got down and rushed to open the door for Raymond.

"Have Niko apply some more pressure on the Winston Group." He ordered as he rested his back on the car, looking like a man that was struggling to live.

"Also, investigate Amanda and what happened at the party today when I collapsed."

Adams gasped as he heard his words, while Raymond acted like he hadn't seen him.

"It would be better if you could do it immediately before the cameras are tampered with." He added and then went inside. As for Adams, he parked the car inside the house and then went inside the next house that was some distance away from the building that Raymond had entered to drive out another car.

Unlike the previous one, this was a premium edition Mercedes’, and even the company knew that they had made just three copies.

The three all belonged to one person as he had ordered them custom-made.

As soon as Raymond entered the dilapidated house that he had been given by the Winston family, he collapsed on the bed, exhausted. However, even though his whole body was weak and affected, he still didn't close his eyes. His every muscle was at attention to every little sound that was in the little room.

By the time the medical specialists came and let themselves in, he was sapped for breath and was only holding on because of his strong resolve.

Anyone in the medical world would be shocked by the arrangements of these specialists that were all fussing around a man that looked to be in his late twenties and trying to work around his health.

It was only after four hours that they finally got his body stable back.

"Only god knows what made Master get such a huge relapse like this." One of them commented with a sigh.
