The hidden heir of Wayne One sixty four: Bad wishes
They were all silently still while waiting for madam Rita to respond and she didn't hesitate to tell them all it was that she knew as well. “My madam doesn't take drugs if that's what you are asking, even at times that she falls ill, she would rather have an injection than pills.” Madam Rita responded. “Hmm,” the doctor seemed to be brooding for a moment. “I don't know what could have happened to her and I can't be certain until I have run some tests. I am only asking if she takes any pills because there are situations where a pill reacts wrongly with alcohol and can cause a reaction like hers.“There was a patient with similar symptoms and it was because she was on some drugs that shouldn't be taken with alcohol. Her heart seized and her lungs were swollen. The wrong chemicals born from the substance and the alcohol caused the production of red blood cells to stop and if she hadn't been taken care of, she would have died.”The doctor's story brought surprised reactions on each of t
The hidden heir of Wayne One sixty five: At the hospital's apartment
The atmosphere was warm and comforting as a heater radiated enough warmth to spread all about the place. The walls stood strong and protective, keeping out every form of noise or disturbance from getting to the inside and it too contributed to the spreading of warmth. Depended on the condition of the heater or air conditioner. If it was an air conditioner, as the cold air touched the walls, the wall itself took in the air and spread it evenly across the room and it did so too with a heater. A small electric kettle in black and silver sat on the ground with its tail plugged out of the socket and like a rooftop of a chimney, smoke left the open mouth and spread into the air. Ivan could remember clearly what the doctor had told him about a kettle of hot water being prepared and there was something else, something about a cabinet. A brown smooth wood cabinet hung from the wall and stretched forward into the room. Directly under it was a cabinet set like a table as well and Ivan walke
The hidden heir of Wayne One sixty six: The new plan
A gust of wind from the open window blew past the curtain and directly at Ivan's bed causing him to shiver. He threw his blanket over his body properly and snuggled into his bed. He let out a tired yawn as he tossed around in bed then sat up straight. His eyes turned to the small box displaying the time and noticed that it was well after seven. “Huh? But how? What happened to the alarm?” He asked himself as he stared confusedly at the alarm clock. Without wasting any more time, he sprung out of bed and rushed outside his room. As he got to the living room, he noticed his aunt sitting at the dining table at a corner of the room with Alfred. They were both having breakfast together. He walked up to them and took his seat. “Good morning.” “Morning young master.”“Morning hun.” Both Alfred and Ms. Wayne replied at the same time. “Would you care for some toast?” Alfred asked his young master. “Would you mind explaining to me what happened to my alarm clock?” Ivan's brow arched as he
The hidden heir of Wayne One sixty seven: Hidden drugs
Madam Rita was sitting in her favorite armchair in her bedroom, lost in the thought of everything that was happening and the reality of things, a sigh left her mouth as she relaxed into the chair.She had almost gone deaf from all the conversations over the phone for the past few hours and she was still expecting more. Mr and Mrs Banks had been calling her nonstop about updates on their daughter and she had been calling Ms. Wayne about updates as well.As much as she wanted to be in the hospital at that moment, she had to wait behind for Mr and Mrs Banks to arrive so they would all go to the hospital at the same time. “Drugs…” she muttered to herself with no one but the silence in the room to listen to her. Janet wasn't on any drugs that she knew about and she also trusted that if she were taking a secret dose, she would have told her of all people about it.But would she? The girl was the kind to remain in her own space to sort out her own life problems except if she felt it not t
The hidden heir of Wayne One sixty eight: Guilty conscience
The atmosphere in the hospital hallway seemed to be choking except for Ivan who was more than calm. Rather filled with disappointment. Having the fact that the woman was doing drugs on her own free will– or so he thought– he felt disappointed that he was worried all night for someone like her and he hated the fact that he blamed himself also. “Tell us doctor, is it some kind of dangerous pill? Hard drugs perhaps?” Ms. Wayne asked with wide open eyes. The Doctor heaved a rather weary and heavy sigh. His eyes trailed back to the image on the screen of the phone and he let his mind access them for one more time as if he wished they were something else from their original version. He finally opened his mouth and started explaining. “Well… yes, unfortunately… it is a kind of hard drug, they both are– but most people don't know that!” He stated firmly as if to take sides with Janet. Ivan groaned softly. “Doc, of course the person ingesting the drug must have known what they are from th
The hidden heir of Wayne One sixty nine: The family
Ivan wished he could close his ears as well. All he wanted to hear was nothing to process his thoughts in silence but just then, his phone began to vibrate in his pocket. He opened his eyes with a sigh and took it out. It was Trevor calling. His eyes trailed from the phone to the doctor who already got the message to excuse himself. He planted a hand on Ivan's shoulder in an attempt to comfort him. “You have done nothing wrong so you have no reason to hate yourself.” How could he tell the doctor that he did? Apart from ignoring her symptoms, he tagged her a drug abuser and for a moment didn't care about whatever happened to her. He only responded with a weak smile. “I can tell already that she is a strong woman and a good fighter. Nothing will happen to her once we have faith. Don't brood for too long, it will ruin your handsome face.” The doctor's lips formed into a weak smile as he spoke. He then turned around to leave and Ivan answered his call. “Hello?” The tone of Trevor's
The hidden heir of Wayne One seventy: His engagement
Mr and Mrs Banks stared expectantly at Ivan as he stood there with his hands behind his back.Alfred could feel the tension in the hall rising up and from the way Ivan was acting, nervousness glimmered in his eyes and sweats rolled down the side of his face. It was almost as if Alfred could tell what Ivan was about to say and the trouble that one wrong word could cause for them was something he wanted to avoid.“About this marriage plans–” “The plans!” Alfred cut Ivan off abruptly. They all stared surprisedly at him and at the sound of his voice.Alfred chuckled nervously. “The marriage plans… uh… we were thinking about pushing the marriage forward a bit because of Ms Banks’ condition, how about next month?” “No I–”“Don't worry about it Young master Wayne,” Alfred cut him off again while wearing a bright smile on his face. “I will take care of everything related to the marriage plans and the postponing date. I believe you have class later today so you can just get going. I'll call
The hidden heir of Wayne One seventy one: Meeting Charlie
A soft sigh left Ivan's mouth though not to the notice of Charlie. Slowly, his eyes traveled to the figure that was standing next to Charlie and a sad sigh let his mouth, one he bothered not to hide. There was an emptiness in Tara's gaze where she stood as she eyed Ivan up and down without saying a word. Ivan remembered– though he hated it now– that there was a time when getting to catch a glimpse of her beautiful face was more than enough to bring him happiness but now…. Just looking at her made him feel angry but there was something else he was feeling for her. What was it? Empathy? Why was he feeling that way for her? His deep blue eyes bore into her and almost as if he was a seer, he could see how sad of a future she had drawn for herself. But now was not the time to be thinking about that. Now, his main focus was to escape from Charlie without wasting any time. Charlie looked behind Ivan at the men in suits who were watching him rather too closely that it made him feel unco
