THE NEXT MORNINGElijah was already done dressing while Isabella was still doing her makeup inside the hotel room.They both ended up sleeping inside the same room, since Isabella was afraid of sleeping alone.“ Women and make-up, I can't believe you will end up using an hour for just makeup” Elijah shook his head as he buttoned his chest.“ Whatever, I am already done” Isabella rolled her eyes and stood up from the dressing chair.“ Let's go, before we get late for the registration of the medical competition.” Elijah said as they both stepped into the hallway of the hotel.They met Dracula and Hank were already ready.“ Are you sure about this Elijah?” Isabella wanted to be sure that he was confident about his medical skills.“ Put your mind to rest Isa, I am confident” Elijah assured and entered into this car, Isabella sat at the front, while Hank and Dracula at the back. As Elijah drove, Isabella felt dizzy but tried to hold it in. She was having the urge to throw up, but she kep
“ I don't carry those around because I don't need them, but this seems like an emergency and if not treated with urgency, this old man would have no chance to see the rising of the sun by tomorrow “ Elijah said, making fear to crawl up to the lady's body.“ Please save my grandfather. We are just here for business and need to return to China tomorrow, when he started complaining of stomach pain. We took him to numerous doctors but they couldn't detect what was wrong.” The lady said, as slow tears slipped out of her eyes.“ Miss…” Elijah was interrupted by the lady.“ I am Lydia,” Lydia said.“ Okay, Lydia. I want you to Stay strong and let's transfer him to a ward” Elijah said.“ What are you waiting for?” Lydia turned to Doctor Paul who immediately held the handle of the old man's wheelchair, directing it to a ward. As they made their way to the ward, Elijah brought out his phone to text Hank, but almost immediately, Hank called back.“ Young master, Miss Isabella is awake,” Hank s
“ Why should I be afraid, when the position is already and will always be mine?” Doctor Bryant was confident about his medical skills.“ So why then are you afraid? Why are you pained?” Elijah asked.“ I don't think it's any of your business, is it?” Doctor Bryant walked out of the old man's ward, while Elijah followed behind him.“ You can't be so sure and confident like that, I might take the position from you in just a blink of an eye, so beware” Elijah gave him a short smile before patting Doctor Bryant's shoulder.Doctor Bryant sighed out loud once Elijah was gone. His two hands inside his doctor coat were shivering so much that he had to use his right hand to grip his left hand when the shivering was getting out of hand.“ Bastard” Doctor Bryant muttered, staring hatefully at the place which Elijah followed, then afterwards, he left to prepare for the medical competition.On getting to his office, he brought out his medical books to flip through them, with just one thing on his
THE NEXT DAYAs early as 6am, Elijah could be seen inside his room. He was seated on the ground with his crossed in each other and his two hands on his laps.His eyes were closed as he meditated, channelling his energy.He was so focused so Isabella didn't disturb him. She did her normal routine and waited for him to be done with his meditation.After about thirty more minutes, he was done, so he took his bath and got ready for the medical competition.Hank and Dracula followed behind Elijah and Isabella as they left the hotel premises. Hank drove them to the venue where the competition would be taking place and as expected, countless cars were parked at the parking lots.Hank had to park the car outside the venue because there was no other place to park the car.As they stepped out of the car, Isabella's heart was beating instead. She wasn't the one participating in the competition, yet, her heart was beating faster than that of Elijah who is the one participating in the competit
No one cared if Doctor Bryant left or not, they were all happy for Elijah.He was called up to the stage and was given the award and also announced as the world's renowned doctor.Isabella was more excited than Elijah was. She kept clapping and grinning from ear to ear with joy in her eyes.“ I told you I was going to make it. '' Elijah handed over the award to Isabella who stood on her toes and hugged Elijah so tight.“ From now henceforth, I will believe anything you say” Isabella whispered into his ears, making Elijah smile.“ I already knew you were going to win the award, that was why I didn't panic,” Hank said but Dracula rolled his eyes at Hank.“ Liar, he kept fidgeting with his nails when they were about to announce the winner,” Dracula said, making Hank scoff.“ Don't scoff at me because I am saying nothing but the truth,” Dracula said.Almost immediately, his phone beeped, making him take it out of his pocket.His eyes widened when he checked on his GPS tracker, so he immed
SHANGHAI TEMPLE Inside the temple seated a man who was meditating.His two legs were crossed on each other and his eyes shut. He relaxed himself so as to allow the flow of energy through him.He was still meditating when the door to the temple where he was opened, but that didn't stop him from meditating.“ Boss,” a masculine voice called from behind.“ Boss” the voice called again, catching the attention of his boss, whose eyes opened but flashed gold at first before changing back to brown colour.“ What is it?” His boss stopped meditating and turned to him.“ I fear there is bad news” his lips began to quiver as he spoke.“ Spill it out or else you want your head rolling on the ground” his boss hates slow people and he loves his things being precise and simple.“ Rowan was killed alongside twenty of our men” the man said, and almost immediately anger flashed through his boss’s face.“ Who did that?” “ Elijah West. He is no ordinary man, and he also sent you a message” the man said
Hearing Elijah's shout, both Hank and Dracula ran out of their rooms and met Isabella in her own pool of blood.“ What happened? I thought she was behind us?” Dracula asked, his eyes widening at intervals.“ Is she bleeding from her stomach or palm?” Hank asked as he squatted in front of Isabella who already lost consciousness.“ Her palms, I guess she was trying to avoid getting pierced in her stomach” Elijah replied and carried her straight to his room.He laid her down properly and cleaned the wound, using an ointment to stop the bleeding.He sat beside her on the bed before closing his eyes, channelling his energy to his hands, which brought out blue flames. Gently, he placed the blue flames on Isabella's bleeding palms and the wound healed up immediately.“ Wow, I really wish to have such powers also” Dracula smiled as he watched Elijah heal up Isabella's wound.“ But I feel like something is wrong somewhere” Hank said, lost in thought.“ How on Earth would someone try to kill h
Elijah kept watching the fighting scene between Isabella and the midnight assassins.Seeing that Isabella was about to kill all the midnight assassins she brought, Nora raised her already blazing sword at Isabella without her notice, but a sudden strong wind sent her flying across the road. She groaned and raised her head to look at who it was. It turned out to be Elijah. He was glaring daggers at Nora.“ Lord…Lord of the Seven Heavens?” Nora stuttered and flew away from the scene immediately.Isabella turned around to see Elijah behind her. She was so surprised but at the same time scared.“ I am sorry I didn't tell you” was the first thing that left her mouth. She knew she didn't deserve to be forgiven since he found out that way, but she was left with no options other than to spill out the truth.“ I am ready to tell you the whole truth,” Isabella muttered, her gaze on the ground.“ I will only listen to the truth, if you return with me to the hotel” Elijah said and turned to lea
