Before Emma or Isabella could mention another word, Nathan ended the call and slid his phone into his back pocket.
After ending the call, he turned to Lily who was standing beside him, and asked, "You haven't told me the reason why you chose to find me."
A faint smile appeared on Lily's face then it instantly vanished after seeing the stern look on Nathan's face, "I need your help" she replied, causing Nathan to arch an eyebrow
"Please come with me to the car," she said and Nathan reluctantly got into the car with her, "The Carbin mansion" Lily instructed the driver and he nodded in acknowledgment
"Where are we going?" Nathan asked, with a frown on his face.
"The Carbin's family mansion?" she replied
"No! Why are we going there?" He rephrased the question.
Lily turned to him and heaved a long sigh before saying, "My family is in a big mess Nathan and we need your help," She continued, "The Lord of the Carbin family took our drugs and instead of getting better, he got worse and we need your help to heal him"
Nathan narrowed his eyebrows and said, "Let's get it over with then"
...
In Carbin's family mansion, the lord of the family was unconscious on the sick bed. "Do you think he's getting better?" The heir to the Carbin family asked as he touched his forehead. Before anyone present in the room could answer, they caught sight of Lily walking into the room with a tall and handsome gentleman behind her.
"You! You made his conditions worse," a girl around her early thirties said, pointing at Lily.
Lily kept mute and took a few steps closer to the bed but she was stopped halfway, "Don't move an inch please, don't go close to him, you made my husband's condition worse" The lady brought her hand up to her eyes to wipe the tears off. She's the wife of the Carbin love and her four children were present in the room.
"Please, Mrs. Carbin calm down, Like I promise I'll make sure he gets better," Lily said and turned to Nathan who raised his left hand to his chest to see what the time was.
She coughed and pretended to clear her throat just to get Nathan's attention before she proceeded. "I brought a doctor to treat him, a better one."
The Carbin family all shifted their attention from Lily to Nathan, they eyed him from head to toe and the senior daughter of the Carbin family swiftly turned to Lily with a frown on her face and asked, "Are you trying to get my father killed?"
"He's so young," Mrs. Carbin added.
"Isn't it obvious, Mom? She's trying to get our father killed. We don't need her help!" The heir of the Carbin family said, moving closer to his mother he added, "We've found a better daughter and we no longer need her help but we'll make sure that she pays for all the damage she had caused when the lord finally wakes up"
"Yes! We'll make sure that she's punished for causing his conditions to get worse." They all agreed that Lily plans to kill Mr. Carbin with her bad medications.
"I..." Lily opened her lips to speak, but she couldn't find the right words to say. She gulped down the saliva in her mouth before.
"Just pray that my father wakes up because only then will your punishment be reduced," they threatened, causing Lily's hands to shake in fear. She tried hard to mask her face with a straight face when, deep down, she was totally afraid.
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation, causing everyone to shift their attention to the door. The doctor that the first daughter of the Carbin family talked about walked into the room.
"Mrs. Carbin, how are you?" The doctor asked after casting a mocking look at Nathan and Lily.
"How can I be fine when I watch my husband on this bed day and night? His condition isn't getting better but instead he's getting worse," she responded.
"It won't be easy to cure him..."
"What do you know about his condition?" The doctor asked and scoffed, causing a frown to appear on Nathan's face.
"Please ignore them, Doctor Tony," Mrs. Carbin said. She looked weak and her husband's condition was taking a toll on her.
Doctor Tony proceeded to unpack the bag that he came in with. He gathered all the needed supplies and located the injection site before cleaning it. After preparing the syringe with medication, he injected Mr. Carbin.
Nathan's eyes were on the name of the injection and he gasped as he saw the name. He took one step forward and said, "Don't give him that injection, it'll only make him worse"
"What do you know?" Doctor Tony mocked him
"Stop saying nonsense," Mr. Carbin's first daughter added.
"Listen to me if you want your father to get better, this injection will only make his condition worse and it'll eventually kill him," He said causing Mrs. Carbin's face to instantly turn pale, she couldn't bear the thought of losing her husband.
"What...." she stuttered.
As soon as Doctor Tony noticed this look on her face, he injected Mr. Carbin again and said, "I know what I'm doing. He'll get better. You don't have to panic."
Mrs. Carbin nodded and tried to relax her back on the chair. "Stop him!" Nathan said, turning to Mrs. Carbin, but she ignored him.
"This will only make him worse and eventually kill me," He repeated, but no one listened to him
In a minute, Mr. Carbin's skin color turned pale and his heart rate instantly reduced, causing everyone to panic
"What's happening, Doctor Tony?" Mrs. Carbin asked, standing up from her chair and taking a few steps closer to her husband. She touched his hands and flinched.
"What happened, Mom?" asked her second son"
His... his hands are cold," she stuttered and her heart began to race rapidly.
"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 o
"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
