Petra and Angela dragged their feet backwards as they tried to avoid everyone's gaze. Lucy suddenly thought of something. She looked up, her eyes widened by the realization that just hit her. These two were actually so evil! Lucy gave them a hostile look before saying, "I don't think we need to search for too long," she fixed her scorching eyes at Petra and Angela as if she wanted to dry them up with them. Everyone followed her line of sight and channeled their gaze at the duo. Petra's heart missed a bit. She had never been this humiliated all her life. She wished she had wings so she could fly out of this place. Angela couldn't bring herself to lift her head up anymore. She lowered her head and tightened her grips on the hem of her black jean trousers. "A few minutes before the meeting began, I went downstairs to fetch my purse that I forgot in the canteen. These two were the only people that I saw when I got there. They both locked the door to the canteen and whe
Like a lightning in a heavy rainfall, Richard drove into the large compound and parked his Black Ferrari at the foot of the hospital building. Richard had participated in car racing in the past, during his study abroad. Although he only did this for fun then, it came in really handy now. Since he left abroad, he had not participated in car racing again as he was too busy to pursue such inconsequential fun. He had so many things demanding his attention now. Kelly was nowhere near Mr. Wilson when it came to driving. Richard had driven Kelly out of the driver's seat when he came downstairs with Sarah in his arms. Kelly jumped out of the car immediately Richard pulled the car over beside the tall building and rushed to open the door for him. Richard carried Sarah out of the car and ran into the hospital, Sarah's limbs dangling lifelessly. A nurse rushed to him with a gurney and Richard carefully lay Sarah on it. Kelly had called the hospital while they were on their way so the staff we
Around 8pm, Kelly entered the private ward with a stainless canister. Sarah had finished taking the infusion and had been moved into a private ward that looked like a suite. This ward was different from the one that she had stayed in the first time that she came here for a test. It was so large and beautifully decorated that it didn't look like a hospital. The restroom looked very big too.Richard hadn't eaten anything since morning but didn't seem to care. He was still sitting by Sarah's bedside, maintaining the same posture as before. The nurses and doctors kept wondering if Mr. Wilson was a normal human being whenever they entered the ward to check on Sarah and still found him maintaining the same position and posture. "Sir, you need to eat something," Kelly said, pushing the folding table in the private ward towards Richard. "Take the food away," Richard said. He looked so worn out now and his usual sharp eyes appeared to have lost their brightness. "
From time to time, the doctors came in to check on Sarah. At exactly 10:11pm, Sarah woke up. She looked at her surroundings again and wondered where she was and how she got here in the first place. She caught a glimpse of the fair, tall and handsome man sitting beside her and slowly, she began to remember all that had happened and that there were so many doctors in the room when she woke up earlier. Richard was holding her hand and smiling brightly at her. Sarah brought her free hand to her stomach as fast as she could and felt her tummy. It was true that her baby bump had not yet started showing but she always felt the little life inside her stomach whenever she placed her hand on her tummy. Panic-stricken, Sarah spluttered, "My...my baby," Richard understood what she meant. He brought her hand to his mouth and planted a kiss on it. Sarah misinterpreted his action and thought that her baby was gone and that he was trying to console her. Her eyes poked out in pains and drops
After Richard had finished eating, Kelly cleared the table and walked out of the room, leaving the two of them. "What you said earlier, do you mean it?" Sarah asked softly. Richard was standing up and was trying to send an email to a business partner. He paused and turned to face Sarah. "What?" He asked absent-mindedly. Sarah fixed her gaze at him. Richard dropped the tablet in his hand on the bed immediately and looked into those sexy eyeballs of hers. Even though they appeared so dull now, to him, they were just as charming as before. Sarah's unwavering gaze at Richard forced him to think. His expression changed a little when he had a grasp of what she was talking about. "You said that you will set him free if that will make me happy–yes, it will," Sarah uttered. "Did I?" Richard tried to deny this but Sarah's ugly expression made him realize that denying his statement wasn't even an option. "Exactly how unconcious were you earlier
"Good morning boss," Brycen, one of the guards said over the phone. He was incharge of keeping watch over Frank in the underground and deserted warehouse located in the outskirts of the town where Frank was kept and had been tortured to the point of death. "Get him ready to return back," Richard commanded. Brycen thought that he didn't hear their boss well until he continued to issue instructions after instructions which were all boiling down to the fact that he was planning to release Frank. Didn't he say that they were going to kill him in the next two days and after he was done with his new project? Richard had instructed them to keep Frank alive until he squeezed out time to see him for the last time before ending his life by himself. "But sir, the dude is in a very bad state now. I don't think he will survive the deep injuries he sustained even if we release him now," he tried to explain. "Make sure that he's here before this week runs out
The next day, Mrs. Harriet and Kate rushed to the hospital very early in the morning. They just got the information that Sarah was hospitalized yesterday through Kelly and during the launching as neither Richard nor Sarah was there. Richard didn't mention this to any of them. When they entered the private ward, Richard was feeding Sarah plantain porridge. Since Sarah liked this food very much, he had asked the cooks to prepare it for her with lots of smoked fish in it. The food was highly nutritious too so it went well with Sarah's current health. Sarah was the first person to see Mrs. Harriet and Kate as they entered since she was facing the door while Richard backed it. He was too busy wiping the food particles on her lips away and didn't notice their presence. Mrs. Harriet couldn't believe that the person patiently feeding Sarah was actually his son. Richard had been so aloof and had a very cold personality right from childhood. He got his grandfather and father's traits combine
"Boss, we took him to a private hospital but he has been unconscious since yesterday. The doctors said that there's nothing that they can do to help him now," Brycen said in panic. He was at his wits end already. If anything happens to Frank, he might as well start counting his remaining days on earth. "I'm coming to see him now," Richard said. He ended the call and called Kelly immediately. Kelly had been very busy in the office since yesterday. There were just too many clients to see that Kelly cursed himself for being Mr. Wilson's assistant in the first place. How could he abandon everything to him just like that? Didn't the doctors say that his wife was out of danger already? On top of that, he even had to follow him to see Frank now? When Richard stepped out of the restroom where he had gone to take his call as it was the only place that would give him the privacy that he needed, he saw two more persons in the ward. Carson was sitting beside Kate. Kate had informed him
