Theodore gave Samantha's phone number to Preston. Later, Preston helped track down Samantha's location."I found her, sir." Preston told him."Head to that location immediately.""Yes, sir."Preston drove his car to the location where Samantha had last been. It happened to be on a dock. Knowing that, of course Theodore wouldn't think twice. The only thing Theodore was worried about was Samantha getting hurt by Alex."Is it still far?" asked Theodore to make sure when they had passed fifteen minutes of travel."Halfway, sir." Preston looked back at the maps on his phone."Pick up the pace," Theodore ordered, feeling both amused and annoyed.Preston nodded his head and hit the gas again. Preston could only do the orders given by Theodore without asking or answering them. The speed of the car almost touched 110 km/h which was quite dangerous if you think about it."How many more kilos?" Theodore confirmed again to Preston."Five more kilometers." Preston replied confidently with the numb
Theodore was still in Alex's grasp. Samantha could only stare with sad and puffy eyes. Alex pulled Theodore's body like a living corpse."You guys stay where you are!" Alex said while pointing the dagger at everyone.Alex brought Theodore to one side of the boat and then told him to stand at the end of the boat. Alex pointed the dagger into Theodore’s neck while searching for something. Theodore stayed still, didn’t want to move, and made his wounds worse.Alex took a large chain weighing more than 10 kg and tied it around Theodore's legs. Theodore's hands were also tied behind his back so that he could not move."So, this is how your life will end, Sir Theodore Hawthorne." Alex laughed while looking at Theodore, who was already helpless in front of him.After tying everything up, Alex pulled Theodore's body to the edge of the boat. While that was happening, Preston untied and covered Samantha's mouth. After that, they both watched what Alex did to Theodore."Preston, isn't that Theo?
"But Sir Theodore can be saved?" asked Preston with a troubled face."We tried our best." The doctor gave an ambiguous answer."Of course, you must do your best. You must succeed in bringing Sir Theodore back to normal."An angry Preston immediately attacked the doctor. Samantha, who saw this, tried to mediate between Preston and the doctor. Samantha knows that Preston must take responsibility for everything that happened to Theodore."Doctor, can we see Theo?" Samantha asked carefully and politely."Please," the doctor said, telling the two nurses to prepare the medical clothing.Samantha and Preston put on all the medical clothes according to the procedure. Only then did they enter the ICU room to visit Theodore.All medical devices were attached to Theodore's body. Theodore's skin color was still pale, like a corpse. However, Theodore's heartbeat was still quite stable despite looking weak. Preston went to the right side of Theodore's bed, while Samantha was on the left side."Sir,
Alex, who managed to leave the sea first, pulled up to the dock. Alex parked his jet ski and jumped onto land. Alex walked a few meters from the dock and then hailed a taxi."Please, take me to this address." Alex showed the address written on the paper to the taxi driver."Yes, sir."The driver immediately drove his car to the address shown. Alex trusted the taxi driver and enjoyed the scenery he passed along the way. The destination was about 45 minutes from the pier."Here you are, sir.""Alright, thank you." Alex said as he handed the taxi driver a few bills.Alex got out of the car and walked straight to the front fence of the house in front of him. Alex looked for the bell button and pressed it. Alex waited patiently for the owner to come out.The owner of the house was none other than a middle-aged woman. "Mrs. Victoria Hawthorne?" Alex greeted her politely."Right, who are you?" Victoria stared in alarm because she had never seen the man in front of her."Meet me, Alex, Spence
"Nurse, how is the condition inside? Has there been any progress from Sir Theodore?" Preston waited at the door of the ICU room with a disheveled face.For almost three days, Preston had been waiting at the hospital and had slept less than 10 hours. He had eaten, but his body and clothes had not been cleaned. Preston also had to take care of many things while Theodore was unconscious."His condition is still critical, and the doctors and other medical teams are still trying their best." The nurse explained it to Preston optimistically."You must be able to save him. If not, I will sue this hospital."Preston was at a loss for words and energy to deal with all of this. Preston had to save Theodore, no matter what."Mr. Preston," the nurse called from the other side of the room."How is Ms. Samantha? Is everything okay?" Preston's words were like a template; he always asked the nurses in this hospital."She's stabilizing, but Ms. Samantha needs a lot of rest.""Has Ms. Samantha regained
It was a bad night for Preston. Preston couldn't even imagine how he could deal with all this. Preston, who couldn't accept what had happened, was still trying to get Theodore's body out of the country."No, Sir Theodore can still be saved.""I'll take him to the hospital that the Hawthorne family patronizes.""Sir Theodore can definitely be saved by the doctors there."All of Preston's men could only stare at Preston sadly. However, they also didn't disobey Preston's order to help him take Theodore away."Hurry up and bring the helicopter and we must get Sir Theodore there immediately!" Preston shouted while giving orders to his men."Yes, sir."Preston led Theodore out of the hospital and waited for the helicopter on the hospital rooftop. Ten minutes later, the helicopter arrived. Preston, assisted by other men, climbed into the helicopter and carried away Theodore's body, which was still lying on the hospital bed."Sir Theodore, take it easy. I'm sure the doctors there will take ca
"Mr. Preston, please come inside." The doctor did not answer Preston's question and instead told him to go inside.A confused Preston could only follow. The doctor opened the door to Theodore's room wide enough, and they walked inside in turn. Preston looked down at Theodore's bed and realized something."Sir Theodore," Preston said, greeting him with an incredulous look on his face."What about my acting? Did it work?" Theodore turned to Preston with a smile, though his face still looked pale."Sir Theodore." Preston couldn't speak anymore; his lips were tight, but he felt so happy knowing that Theodore wasn't dead.Preston looked at Theodore and unconsciously shed tears. Theodore looked at Preston and then smiled. "Are you crying?""Sorry," Preston said, immediately wiping his tears before they dried."I'm sorry I made you worry.""But, how come, sir?" asked Preston, who couldn't believe what Theodore had just gone through."I saw a movie once and tried to train myself. Apparently i
As Preston had promised, today he would confirm the news that had spread. Preston held a question-and-answer session with the media in front of the Haw & Co. office. All the employees, officers, and other staff at the company were busy helping Preston prepare for the interview."Today we are all focused on this interview. Also, we will be honoring the memory of the late Sir Theodore Hawthorne." Preston said solemnly."Yes, Mr. Preston." All the staff replied at the same time."Okay, now we're ready at our positions."All the employees moved to their respective posts, while Preston set up in front of the podium. Preston's men followed him and set up around him, anticipating anarchy from the media.Preston spent the night sleepless, preparing for all the possible questions that would be asked of him. He also prepared the most convincing answers to ensure no one would find out about Theodore again.Preston's hands shook as he held the paper in front of him. "Mr. Preston, are you okay?""
