"What's happening to my father?"
"What's wrong?" Everyone in the room began to panic, except Nathan. He kept his eyes on the Carbin's Lord.
"Everyone, calm down," He yelled just to get their attention, "Mr. Carbin will be fine," Nathan added. He turned to look at the faces of everyone in the room. He scoffed after sewing the expression on the doctor's face.
"Please, I don't want to lose my husband. Tell me what we need to do," Mrs. Carbin begged. Nathan didn't utter a word. He noticed the terrified look on Isabella's face before he took a few steps closer to the Lord, who was unconscious on the bed.
"He was poisoned," Nathan said as he took out a powder from his pocket. This spec powder can cure any poison in the world and it was invented by Nathan. He's the only one who knows its recipe. In the black market, one gram of the powder is worth half a million. People usually call it a magic drug because it works like magic.
The room became pin-drop silent and everyone watched Nathan. No one dared to say a word and the only thing that Mrs. Carbin wanted was for her husband to get better by any means.
The look on Doctor Tony's face instantly changed, he was filled with envy. Everyone in the room trusted him at that moment, and it made Doctor Tony's blood boil in both envy and anger.
"Stop!" Doctor Tony yelled, and everyone turned to him.
"Don't let him give the Lord anything, the powder he holds is a poison and it'll kill the Lord," He said, but they all seemed calm, and no one reacted to his words.
"Listen to me Mrs. Carbin, I'm the doctor here, I know what he's holding, it's a poison, don't let him give it to the lord."
"Please stop, maybe there's another way," Mrs. Carbin hesitated, but she had no choice but to listen to Doctor Tony
"Doctor Tony," she called
"Yes, ma" He answered with a satisfactory smile on his face, "I've finally put him where he belongs," He thought
"What do we do now" Mrs. Carbin asked without shifting her gaze away from her husband, she was scared that if she blinked her eyes or looked away from him, he'd stop breathing. Fear engulfed all the members of the Carbin family.
Nathan, who stood next to the lord noticed the Lord's condition "Mrs. Carbin, your husband only has a few minutes left," Nathan said in a cold voice. He raised his head to look her in the eyes.
"I can't watch the Lord die so if you want, try to stop me from giving him this medicine," Nathan said and before anyone could protest, he poured a little of the powder into the Lord's mouth, causing Doctor Tony to scream
"No, you have no right to do that" He yelled and dragged the powder from him, causing the rest of it to fall on the ground, but luckily a little of it had already entered the Lord's mouth
Doctor Tony turned to Nathan in a rage and said, "What have you done?" He said and swiftly turned to Mrs. Carbin and said, "If anything happens to the Lord, I won't take responsibility for it"
Nathan's blood boiled after hearing Doctor Tony's words. "But you almost killed him with the injection you injected into his body," Nathan said as he picked up one of the medications that Doctor Tony injected into the Lord's body
"See..." He said pointing the two bottle empty bottles of medicine to the Carbin family and Lily instantly gasped after seeing the name of the medication
"You can't give those injections to someone who was poisoned," she uttered and furrowed her eyebrow
"How can a doctor possibly inject these two injections into his patient?" Nathan said, throwing the little bottles to the ground.
"Let's be honest with ourselves, Doctor Tony or should I say, Mr. Tony," Nathan said, taking a few steps closer to Doctor Tony, who was terrified
"It's either you're trying to kill the Lord of the Carbin family yourself or..."
"No, I won't ever try to kill him. I wasn't aware that he was poisoned," Doctor Tony said and hurried to the bedside table where Mr. Carbin's file was placed.
"Here, it wasn't stated here that he was poisoned," Doctor Tony said. His hands began to shake, and it became evident to everyone present in the room that he was scared.
Nathan's eyes scanned through the reports, and he was right. He swiftly turned to Lily. "I believe that the poison was hidden. Even after doing a thorough check, we couldn't find a trace of poison," Lily said, taking a few steps closer to Nathan, who stood by the bedside. He glared at Doctor Tony and swiftly handed the files back to him. He held the Lord of the Carbin family's hand, trying to check his pulse.
His face turned red from pale, and his heartbeat went back to normal. The Carbin family heaved a sigh of relief and Mrs. Carbin finally sat down back on the chair after seeing for the first time in weeks that his condition was getting better.
Doctor Tony heaved a long sigh of relief after seeing this. He briskly walked towards the bedside table and placed his files back on the table.
"Dad, Dad!" the first daughter of the family said the minute she saw him open his eyes.
"W.. wa... water" He stuttered, and she rushed to get him water. The joy that filled the faces of the Carbin's family was unexplainable.
"Thank Goodness," Mrs. Carbin said with a wide smile on her face
"All this was because of the injection I gave him," Doctor Tony said, and adjusted the cloth properly. Everyone in the room swiftly turned to look at him and scoff.
"Thank you, Nathan" Lily whispered. She couldn't imagine what would have happened if the Lord of the Carbin family had died.
"So you planned to kill my father?" The first son of the family turned to the doctor and took a few steps closer to him, causing the doctor to step backward in fear.
"No... no... no, I honestly wasn't aware of the poison," Doctor Tony stuttered, but no one listened to him"Save that crap for someone else! We thought that you were an expert, you're just a quack doctor and if not for this young gentleman, then my father would have been dead by now all because of your wrong medication," The first son of the family said in a rage. He was upset and couldn't imagine what would have happened if his father had died all because of that careless act."I'm sorry sir, I wasn't aware of the poison, it seems that it was hidden, please forgive me for my carelessness," the doctor begged"Okay, it's understandable that you're not good enough to save my father but then you tried to stop Nathan from curing my father all because you wanted to save your dignity," He continued with a frown on his face, "That's unacceptable"He turned to Nathan feeling grateful, "Thank you, Nathan, Even after we listened to this hypocrite and stopped you from giving your medicine to my
Lily strolled through her phone and dialed her assistant's number instantly to convene the press conference."Linda," Lily said as soon as her assistant answered the call"Good afternoon ma, I went through Mr. Carbin's file ma and...""We have sorted that, Linda. The Lord of the Carbin family is totally fine now," she informed her assistant."What... What happened ma, it was our drugs, right?" Lily giggled at how curious her assistant was. "You'll find out Linda, calm down, I have a reason for calling you," Lily said"Oh, I'm sorry ma, I'm just excited that we will finally stop receiving threats from the Carbin family," she said, causing me to smile faintly"I want you to convene a press conference tomorrow night at the Brown family mansion, okay?" Lily said."Yes, but tomorrow is the company's anniversary," Linda reminded her"I know. After the press conference, we'll start the anniversary party," Lily responded and ended the call. She turned to Nathan and asked, "I'm sorry for intr
"I live here and my house number is No. 1," Nathan said, causing the salesman to burst into laughter. The laughter was so infectious that the small crowd joined him in laughing."House No. 1 was sold to a mysterious rich man," the salesman informed. "And obviously, it seems like you're a homeless beggar that can't even afford a meal talk less of buying a house," He added"We should call the police," Isabella's friend suggested"Yes, let's call the police, he's a shameless criminal" They all agreed, and the salesman took his phone out of his pocket"Shameless beggar" "I can't believe that he shamelessly said that he owns a house here, someone that doesn't even have a place to have his bath," they mocked him. "I can't believe he imagined owning a house like that. Does he even know the price of it?" They mocked him and laughed.In the community, there were only 100 villas, and the smaller the numbers, the greater the price. No. 1 villa was the most expensive villa in the community. It
Isabella’s friend was beyond stunned, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing so she turned to the crowd and yelled, “Don’t believe this poor church rat, he’s nothing without my friend, I’m sure he just did one or two tricks here”The small crowd whispered amongst themselves, wondering if Nathan was right or not, but seeing the kind of clothes he was wearing made them doubt his claims“He’s the mysterious man that bought mansion number 1,” the administrator said, turning to face the crowd“And everyone here needs to apologize to him, no buts!” The administrator commanded, but the old woman hissed and spat.“Why would I do that? Why can’t he dress the way he wants to be addressed or did he use all his money to buy a house and forget to buy clothes and a car,” she said, causing everyone to murmur among themselves.“I agree, he’s just a poor man,” Two women chorused A smile formed on Isabella’s friend lips as she watched Nathan being humiliated by everyone around themBefore the Admini
"The Lord is dying, he desperately needs your help, anything you want will be granted to you sir," Mr. Timothy informedNathan scoffed as he stared at him in disbelief. When Nathan's parents died, none of them fought with him to get justice. They let him wander and now that they needed his help, they knew he existed"So pathetic!" Nathan said and narrowed his eyes"We need you back to save the lord, please. He's retiring now and we need an heir," Mr. Timothy continued. "You're the rightful heir." "I'm not ready to come back home now Tim, nothing you say or do will change my mind," He said sternly"Another investigation is currently ongoing for the second time and this time, the people involved in his death will be punished." Nathan instantly turned to face Timothy after hearing those words on his lips"Now he has chosen to cooperate," Nathan said. "We all know who's involved!" Nathan said, raising his voice in anger. It hurt him that he didn't have any evidence against them"It's all
"I've gotten everything prepared sir!" He said "Okay," Nathan responded. He casually moved towards the big and luxurious vanity in the room "I want to make sure they pay!" He added and ended the callNathan tossed his phone back to the bed and picked up the hair dryer to dry his hairIn just a few minutes, he changed into expensive Zara pants and a Gucci t-shirt.Nathan strolled out of his room with his phone, walked towards the dining table, and sat on the chair waiting for his dinner to be served...In the poroit villa, all the family members are seen eating at the dining table quietly. Only The Lord and his wife were absent from the table and the head chair was emptyMr. Timothy's clicking footsteps caused them to turn and gaze at him quickly."He didn't come," Janette, Nathan's aunty, asked as she gazed around and behind him but still got no sign of Nathan"No, he said he'll put it under consideration," Timothy responded, causing Philip, One of Nathan's uncles to hit his hand ab
Nathan wiped off the stains of food on his lips before drinking his bottle of water.Without wasting any minute in the dining hall, he made his way to the sitting room where Henry stood just in case Nathan had an order to give"Is there anything that you'd want, sir? Is there anything that you want me to do for you?" Henry asked"No" Nathan bluntly replied"Ok sir," Henry said while stepping back "Oh, there is one thing though," Nathan said, causing Henry to instantly step forward. When Nathan informed Henry that there was nothing he needed at the moment, Henry smiled inwardly because, to him, it only meant that he was doing his job well."I'm at your service sir," Henry said with his head bowed in front of Nathan"I'm expecting someone, his name is Gabriel. When he comes, let him in immediately and inform me," Nathan ordered"Okay sir, but it's late, when will the person be coming?" Henry inquired“Tomorrow morning.“ Nathan shifted his gaze away from Henry back to his phone and made
The Poroit family was sitting in the dining room for breakfast, a lot of them didn't want to be present but it has been a family tradition that no one can alter because the previous Lord of the Poroit family believed that a family who eats together, stay together"How is my father's health, Timothy?" Janette asked"He's not getting better, ma, I think...""Where the hell is that bastard child? Does he want my father to die before he comes?" Janette said, cutting Timothy off"What did you say, Aunty?" A voice rang from the door, causing everyone to instantly turn to see who it was"Na... Nathan" she stuttered. Derek's mood instantly changed after seeing Nathan. He wasn't surprised, but deep down he hoped that Nathan wouldn't show up"I thought I heard something, Aunty? Are you surprised to see me?" He inquired"No... I'm just overwhelmed," she responded and turned to face everyone else in the dining room and asked, "Aren't we all just overwhelmed?"The room was quiet, no one responded
