CHAPTER 148-THE REQUEST Sleeping on the bed and oblivious of what was happening in the world around her, Helen's mother, Mrs Lugard was lying with her head resting peacefully on the pillow. The sound of the monitor was being heard loudly as it beeps in intervals. The room had good lighting and it was well ventilated.Mrs Lugard's bed was situated by the window which allowed for the easy passage of air into the room. She was still connected to her I.V medication which was flowing at the desired rate.A nurse walked into the room, she went straight to the monitor, checked Mrs Lugard's vitals in the screen after which she documented it in the chart she was holding, she proceeded to check the I.V infusion Mrs Lugard's was on and realised that it will be getting finished very soon, she quickly stepped out of the room and went to get the next infusion in order to prevent damage being done on the patient because she needed a particular amount of fluid with a specific time.The nurse was sti
CHAPTER 149-THE MEETING"So you want me to go meet Tony, how sure are you that he will listen to me,"Helen asked her mother. She doesn't know if this was a bad idea but for her mother's sake, she needs to do all she can."I'll call Tony and see if he will agree to meet and then I'll discuss with him about you wanting to see him, hope that's okay," Helen asked looking at her mother's fragile face."Yes that will be okay, I just want to talk to him and it's very important that I do this,"Mrs Lugard said as she raised her face toward the ceiling, a lot was going through her mind even in her state."Okay mom, before I go make the call, I got you some fruits and a salad by the side, you know you were saying that you had indigestion, so the nurse said that eating fruits will help with easy digestion of your meal, so I will slice some for you, I'll be right back,"Helen said , as she got up from the sit beside her mother's bed. She moved into the adjoined room by the side. It was serving as
CHAPTER 150-THE REVELATION "Thank you Tony, one is gone. There's something very important I want to tell you. It's been a secret for the longest time between my family and yours,"Mrs Lugard coughs a little. Tony quickly got water for her to drink."What secret are you talking about!""It's between my husband's family and your mother's."Mrs Lugard looked at Tony's face, trying to read his facial expression but Tony kept his face expressionless. He wanted to hear what Mrs Lugard had to say."Hmm, before now my family had no wealth, we were struggling to build our business which wasn't going very well, so my husband then was asked to be friends with you mother , win her heart and convince her to invest in the Williams business." Mrs Lugard continued."Your mom was young, she fell for the Williams trap very easily and we were able to rise into high society but because the Eduardo's were a very wealthy they didn't realise what was done to them very quickly,"Mrs Lugard said, her voice bare
CHAPTER 151-THE RESCUE Immediately Tony stood for the chair , they both heard a loud scream from outside."Aaaaaaahhhh!"Tony immediately rushed outside to see what was happening, only to see Helen slip on water and fall, that was the reason for the scream. Collins helped Helen up and took her to the restroom to clean up herself.Tony went back into the room and Mrs Lugard persuaded Tony that she should be discharged home, although Tony wasn't cool with the idea but he had to agree for the old woman's sake ."Hele, your mother has asked that she be taken home but as her guidance I want to ask if you're okay with allowing her to go home,"Tony asked Helen. A part of him felt so bad that she had to go through this kind of situation but there's really nothing he could do about it."I think it would be better to take her home, you've done your very best for us and we really appreciate you Tony, despite all the bad things I and my family did to you, you still showed us this mercy so for th
CHAPTER 152THE PHONE CALL"It's been a hectic month so far and I'm thankful that things are gradually coming to a stable pace,"Collins said, resting on the sofa in exhaustion.The lab has been calling for the past weeks to update Tony that major progress has been made concerning the cure and most people have been able to get it .Mrs Lugard is gradually regaining her health, the new cure has been given to her and her nerves and Brain tissues are gradually starting to work in response to the drug."I heard the government has taken an interest in the virus and its cure, since the senator's daughter was cured from the virus, what do you think that they want to do,"Collins asked Tony, he didn't know what he was thinking. After the government reached out to him, he hasn't said anything yet concerning their proposal to recognize him as an icon."I honestly do not know, the past months have been crazy and I don't want to get roped into anything again. You and I both know that when the gover
CHAPTER 153THE MEETING "Who was that and what was the call all about,"Collins said immediately after Tony dropped the call. The look on Tony's face was a bit apprehensive. The call must have been very important and worrisome."I just got a call from Rongtai pharmaceutical company and they said they want to meet and that they're ready to work with my schedule. When I'm ready, they will be ready too ."Tony said with a scowl on his face. He doesn't like the sound of all this."Why do they want to meet? Did they say the reason? It could be a trap. I don't like the sound of all this,"Collins said as he facepalm himself. This News gives off something odd."They didn't say the reason for the meeting. They only said that it's about a very crucial matter and it was important that we met and discussed it,"Tony said as he tapped his middle finger on the table. He didn't have a good feeling about this."What do you think, should I agree to meet? I told him that I was going to get back to him,"T
CHAPTER 154-THE BARGAIN Tony stood up with Collins and headed for the door, immediately his hands touched the door handle Mr Christian spoke again."5 billion dollars, do we have a deal Mr Tony Storm,"Mr Christian spoke again.Tony stops on his track!He doesn't know why but he felt deep in his heart that something was off about these people. Why will a company as big as Rongtai pharmaceutical company be asking for the cure and why will they want to offer such a price.Tony gradually turned back and faced Mr Richard and Mr Christian. The amount he just heard shook his composure. Why this company would be willing to offer such a price is beyond him."This is really serious, so you're saying that you're willing to pay 5 billion dollars for the cure, but to what end,"Tony said as he dipped his hands into his pocket."I'm in shock too, from what I read online, Rongtai pharmaceutical company is known for its high clinical results and they're achieved great milestones which even surpasses
CHAPTER 155THE OUTBURST "You didn't show me any proof that the virus was yours in the first place. You only told me that my cousin Henry Storm stole it from one of your labs. How do I know that you're not lying just to get your hands on the cure"Tony said with a smirk on his face.He had them where he wanted them, there was no proof showing that they were the real creator of the cure. How was he so gullible, he should have asked this immediately they told him that Henry was the one who stole the cure."Are you saying that we're lying to you or we're trying to deceive you. I already explained everything to you. We're from a reputable establishment, I do not need to lie to you for you to believe me,"Mr Richard said, anger oozing from his voice.How could Tony insult them like that, who does he think he is? Tony was too stubborn and it will not be good for him. He needs to contact the headquarters so they can think of another plan because Tony has been proving difficult and uncooperati
