Carl Black entered the ward with a big basket of fruits in his hands.
"Hey." He smiled at Lisa.
Lisa's eyes grew wide and her jaw dropped in surprise to see such a big basket of fruits. She asked, "Why did you bring so many fruits?"
"What? This is for uncle, not for you." He tried to joke a little.
"Very funny." She pouted and looked away from him.
Carl Black chuckled and shook his head.
"Did Dr. Valentine visit today? What did he say?" He sat down on the sofa next to her and looked at her.
"Yes, he came. He said Dad is fit for tomorrow's procedure."
When Lisa came back to the hospital it was almost dark outside. She entered the ward and saw Linda Holmes peeling the oranges. There was no sign of Mark Holmes and Carl Black. She asked her mother, "Where is Dad?" "Doctor asked to do some tests, so Mr. Black took him for the test." Linda Holmes kept peeling the oranges without sparing a glance at her. Lisa was surprised. She wondered what test her father required. Didn’t Dr. Valentine say that her father was fit for PCI? She was a little worried, but she didn't show it to her mother. She only nodded and sat on the sofa beside her. Carl Black and Mark Holmes entered the ward after around an hour. Mark Holmes was sitting in a wheelchair, and he was pushed in by a ward boy
In 'X' city Lisa and Carl Black reached the hospital. It was the day to perform PCI on Mark Holmes. A nurse and a ward boy came to the ward. Mark Holmes was pushed out of the ward in a wheelchair by the ward boy and was ushered in a room. A few moments later, Dr. Valentine came and smiled at Linda Holmes. "Everything will be fine." He glanced at Lisa and Carl Black before entering the room. After that date, Dr. Valentine avoided Lisa as much as possible. He didn’t talk or smile at her as earlier. Mark Holmes was pushed back to the ward after PCI, and Dr. Valentine informed that he would be discharged after a few days of observations.
Daniel Brooke finally broke the silence "What is this Dad? I am not a kid anymore. You can't control me like this." "Sit down first and listen carefully." Daniel Brooke sat on the chair opposite his father and shot a dissatisfied look at him. Thomas Brooke sighed deeply and said calmly, "You are my only son. I am worried about your safety. Stop doing things hastily. I told you to back off from this case but still, you are pursuing it. There is nothing left in this case. You are only making enemies out of it. Do you have any idea how dangerous Senator Michael Harrison is? Stop messing around with him." Daniel Brooke rubbed his forehead in frustration. "I can take care of myself. I am not afraid of that Senator. His son is a criminal
Days passed very quickly. Lisa started going to school as her father's condition improved a bit. During these days, Carl Black dropped her in the morning and picked her up in the afternoon every day. Life was going smoothly for them. Lisa and Anna Green were sipping coffee in the cafeteria after they finished classes. "Did Daniel tell you anything about Neil?" Anna Green looked at Lisa hopefully. Lisa shook her head and replied, "No. He didn't call me these days." She kept the cup down on the table. Anna Green shrugged and leaned back to the chair. "I can't sit here and wait for his call anymore.” She sighed deeply and added, “I'll go to the 'Y' city to find my brother. I'll take help from the police."
The next morning, the door of Daniel Brooke's room was pushed open, and Henry August entered the room. Daniel Brooke was sipping coffee sitting on the sofa. He only glanced at him once. After locking the door behind him, Henry August greeted him, "Good morning, Boss." "Finally, you got time to show up." Daniel Brooke lifted his eyelids and looked at Henry August with a smirk. He patted on the sofa beside him and said, "Come and sit here." Henry August sat down next to him and said, "The photographs and video are authentic. They have not tampered." Daniel Brooke had a sly smile on his face. His expression was sinister. Henry August sw
When Henry August was rushing towards Daniel Brooke's room, he bumped into someone else. "Sorry, sorry. I was in a hurry." He said these words without looking at the person and started walking ahead. But before he could move two steps he heard a cold voice, "Why are you in such a hurry? Is everything alright? Why do you come back so soon?" Henry August was startled and turned around to look back, only to meet David Allen's inquisitive gaze. He wanted to explain everything to him. Just as he opened his mouth to say, a thought appeared in his mind, and he closed his mouth. David Allen was staring at him, narrowing his eyes, waiting for his response. But after a while also when he didn’t hear anything from him, he asked worriedl
The day of the hearing came very soon. Daniel Brooke and Henry August were ready to go to the court. For the past few days, they both were working secretly from the closed room. They managed to arrange all the proofs successfully. Daniel Brooke was satisfied with the arrangements, and he was full of confidence. Knock...Knock..... Henry August opened the door, and his expression turned gloomy instantly to see the person standing on the doorstep. David Allen entered the room and said, "Master Daniel, the boss wants to see you." "OK, I'll be there. You leave now." "He wants to meet you immediately." Daniel Brooke stared at him for a few momen
All were waiting impatiently for Daniel Brooke in the courtroom. The clock was ticking without stopping. Every passing second was important. Daniel Brooke's subordinate was wiping his sweat from his forehead continuously. Only two minutes left, and there was no sign of his Boss. If he couldn't make it, all their efforts would go in vain. The defense lawyer chuckled and said, "Time is almost over Your Honors. Mr. Brooke will not come. So, you should..." Before he could finish speaking, the door of the courtroom swung open, and Daniel Brooke came inside with the man in the black suit. All the people present in the courtroom turned their heads to look at them. Daniel Brooke's hair was messy, and his suit was soiled while his face was covered with dirt. The four convicted
