MASONCHAPTER 198LEONARD AND DALIADalia's heart sank as her car spluttered to a halt on the side of the road. She had been driving along, lost in her own thoughts, when the engine suddenly gave out. Frustrated and a little worried, she pulled over, her mind racing to come up with a solution.As luck would have it, Leonard happened to be passing by in his sleek black sedan. He was initially hesitant to stop, remembering the unpleasant encounter they had the first time they met. But something compelled him to pull over and see if he could be of assistance.Rolling down his window, Leonard called out, "Need a hand?"Dalia, surprised to see him but desperate for help, hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, I think my car broke down. I have no idea what's wrong."Leonard stepped out of his car and made his way over to inspect the vehicle. After a few moments, he concluded, "Looks like it might be an issue with the engine. I can give you a lift to the nearest mechanic if you'd like
Name of main character : Chapter 1Mason Parker stood with a sombre expression on his face as he kept staring at the tomb stone of his parents. It's been three years since the car accident that had claimed thier lives, yet it still felt like like yesterday. He touched his chest and felt his heart thumbing as he remembered how he felt the night he was told he had lost his parents. His eyes became teary but he steeled himself so he won't cry needlessly, he is a man. "I really wish you were both still here with me, especially you mom. "Mason said to himself as he moved his eyes to focus on his mother's tombstone. The tombstone read 'Agatha Parker '. 'my son, don't let them know who you are just yet. We have so many enemies in this family, wait just for a few years. Increase your knowledge in medicine 'Mason recalled the words of his mother.'Develop yourself, your martial arts :especially our secret family techniques, become the strongest martial artist in the family. '
Mason Parker raced with his car to the hospital to meet his wife who had called him some minutes earlier. He was uncertain of the reason for the call but it was clearly obvious that it was very urgent from the sound of her voice. 'what could have happened now? 'He thought to himself, unable to find a logical explanation to what was happening. 'Could she have been in a terrible accident or someone related to them? 'He sped into the hospital building and he saw his wife already waiting for him. He was somewhat relieved she was fine but he still worried since he still did not know the problem.. Reaching her he greeted her with a puzzled yet worried expression "Tanya, what's happening? " he asked. Tanya his wife was almost at the verge of tearing up again and he could see from her swollen face and bags on her eyes that she had been crying. "it's my grand mom, she collapsed this afternoon " she said. "How is she now? "Mason attempted reaching out to her with his left hand for a
Chapter 3Doctor Raymond walked into the room with his head held up high. He was a man approaching his sixties with a lot of experience under his belt. Derick was the first person who came forward to greet him since he had invited him over. "Doctor Raymond, A pleasure to meet you again. " Derick reached out for a handshake. "The pleasure is all mine, since you are paying me handsomely."Doctor Raymond said with a sly smile as he accepted the gesture. Derick laughed slightly at the joke, since it was at his expense but he wasn't bothered since he was very rich. Everyone else in the room just watched in awe as the two conversed with one question running through thier minds. 'just how rich and reputable is Derick that he is able to bring one of the world's best doctors to personally come treat the bedridden woman? '.Mason was also surprised to see doctor Raymond in the flesh but didnt show it. He had always heard of him being one of the best when it comes to medicine. "So what is
Chapter. 4Tanya stared at her husband in disbelief at the comment he had made.Her expressions were firstly that of surprise, much everyone else present in the room but seeing her husbands face and his seemingly uncaring attitude she became furious. Slap!She moved over to him and slapped him before everyone. Mason did not uttered a word still but held the part of his cheek his wife had slapped since it stung. Everyone else in the room justified the slap as they all muttered something demeaning against him for his inappropriate remark.Tanya's grandma was more pleased with the slap because if it wasnt for her present bedridden situation she would have given it to him herself.She made attempts to even get up and support the slap with her own, so it would hurt him even more. But people nearby stopped her. "is this really necessary Mason?"Tanya asked her husband furiously."...."Mason said nothing as he continued to look at her in the face "of all people I never expected such a
Chapter 5Mason sighed as he took a heavy tired breath outside the room.He wanted to remain by the side of the room to wait for his wife, but he knew they would be unhappy to see him again should they open the door. So Mason began walking down the hall way to his left, nothing else was in his mind than how to make his life and family work.Deep down he knew he hasn't been a great husband, but it was just his fault. There was a lot going on that he could not explain just yet. He passed some other rooms and could either see the patients resting or being attended to by nurses.He found a bench at the end of the hall way and sat there, he was far enough from the room and was left to his thought again.Mason took out a pen and a piece of paper from his pocket and began scribbling down something's on it. **The room exploded in panic immediately as Tanya's grandmas health became grim in less than a minute. She was coughing blood, struggling to breath and slowly lossing consciousness.
Chapter 6Tanya was in the sitting room, watching the window in never ending anticipation. Hoping that Mason would come home. It's been a week since the incident in the hospital and her grand mother was back to full health. But Mason was yet to come back home.The hospital was when she had seen him last and since then he hasn't returned, his phone was switched off and there was no way of reaching him.Tanya was getting worried because it was unlike Mason to just disappear with a word. He may not be the greatest husband, but he doesn't just do things like this. "don't tell me you are still thinking about that man, it's probably best like this. He left so your life can move on positively. "Tanya's grand mother said since she was also in the room."that man saved your life in the hospital MA and he is my husband. " Tanya replied. "I know, and I am still grateful for him doing so. But even with that, it doesn't make your life any easier if he's around. "Tanya's grandma, Mrs fei has b
Chapter 7 A black silhouette of a man sprinted quickly through the woods, running past the trees and obstacles as fast as possible.How the figure leapt and how fast it ran, it was almost humanly impossible. The person was fleeing from something and occasionally looking back to see if it had lost whatever was in pursuit. Mason could see the figure fleeing and he tried as fast as he could to catch up with the person. He was in pursuit of the person, and desperately needs to catch the person by all means necessary. It was in the middle of the night and it was difficult for taizai to keep track of the person fleeing, since there was no light and the moon was the only source of light. The trees as well did not help,because they provided cover for the person to run in between and hide. And again the person was wearing all black, making it harder to spot.Mason skidded to a stop immediately as he looked around frantically through the dark so as to discern where the person had ran off
