“Daddy, how is the eldest sister-in-law we found?”She covered her mouth and giggled with a sense of accomplishment.“Very pretty” Emile responded sharing the giggle with her daughter as she spied on Marcus. The expression of both Chris and Chris Jnr was a mirror image, helpless at the trouble the two silly and most cherished members of their family could cause.“Daddy, don’t worry.” Chris Jnr tapped his father shoulder comfortingly with an adult like expression “When you are tired holding the skies up for them, I will help you.”“Alright…. Then daddy will relax.” Chris chuckled softly.“Me too… me too…” Emm chirped happily.Marcus was surprised to find Beth who was his junior in college at the banquet; as far as he knew, Beth belonged to the reserved group of girls who never attended any social event and to his surprise, she was wearing a similar colour to his.“I am sorry to have put you in an awkward situation. I guess my friends are up to no good.” Beth sighed with an embarrassed s
While Chris was having a heart to heart with his son, Emile walked over to Darcy and Grace who were chatting with Veronica and Peter.“Little aunt, how did you manage to shake little uncle off your tail?” Miles teased as he saw Chris wasn’t following Emile. He too had come over with Vincent to ask permission for them to go to the gaming area of the hotel as they were getting bored with the banquet.“What nonsense are you talking?” Emile flicked his forehead playfully to hide her blush before turning to Grace “Didn’t I come over to introduce……” Emile paused purposefully as a mischievous smile lingered on her face; she threw a side glance at Marcus who was still clueless and mucking around with little treasure and sighed inwardly before continuing “Emm and Chris Jnr’s new friend, Beth Forester.”“Hello aunties and uncles.” Beth smiled politely as he greeted them before signalling Zada with her yes to rescue her. She would never have believed if someone told her before that her innocent l
Son, why are you behaving like this?” Elizabeth asked with a pained expression as she walked with Chris towards the private lounge area designated for the Walters, trying to hold his hands several times, only to fail miserably.“Mom, I have very little patience for your melodrama.”“Son, you don’t even have the patience for a drink with your mother?” Elizabeth’s voice choked as she opened the door to the lounge and headed to the small table set-up near one of the rooms for resting.There was nothing special about this arrangement as a small seating arrangement was prepared close to each room in the private lounge. The private lounge area of the Royale Lux was similar to an apartment without the kitchen with 4-10 rooms. The Walters being a premium customer and owing to Chris’s friendship with the young master of the Royale Lux, had the largest private lounge with 10 rooms reserved for them all through the year.“Look what your marriage has done to our family.” Elizabeth sobbed as she sa
Chris didn’t have many thoughts at this moment. He only hoped he could see his wife’s smile one last time, but he didn’t know if he would last that long. He hated himself for forgiving his mother in a moment’s weakness giving her a chance to rob him of his happiness.He couldn’t understand how the person whom his father described as gentle and kind-hearted would stoop to such a vicious existence without a moral compass; being ready to do anything for the sake of achieving her goal. He regretted it…. Truly regretted giving his mother another chance, but there was nothing he could do about it. His life force was slipping before his eyes. Never before had he experienced despair and regret like this; he had met death face to face several times, but never had he regretted his choices or decisions.Chris’s mind was slipping between the unconscious and conscious state. He held on by sheer willpower, the desire to see his wife and children fuelling his willpower. Although he was already on th
“What’s going on?”“Uncle, can I give you an explanation once I come back?” Mark looked like he was standing on pins on needles "I need to check on my younger siblings."“Alright… don’t stand there like a jittery teenager… it doesn’t suit the Eldest master of the Walter Empire.” Matthias frowned as he saw Mark losing composure. He wondered what could make the calm and composed eldest master so edgy. He decided to follow and see for himself.“I will just follow you to see what all the excitement is about.” Matthias stood up as he made up his mind. He turned around raising his eyebrows “Do you intend to stand there frozen in time? Then tell me where you were going, and I will go by myself.”“Huh?” Mark raised his head to see Matthias’s teasing look, he lowered his head in embarrassment before walking ahead, leading the way to the private lounge reserved for the Walters.10 mins earlier-Night Song and Night Star got back as Emile was arguing with the guards outside the lounge.“Don’t wan
“TTHHHHUUUUDDD”The door fell backwards into the room, stunning not just the occupant but also the people outside.Amanda was stunned as she was unaware of the havoc outside due to the sound proofing effects inside the room; the people outside were stunned due to the outfit or the lack of it on the person inside the room.“Aaahhhh” Amanda screamed as she ran to hide behind the curtain as she could find anything to cover her modesty within her arms reach.However, none of this was Emile’s concern. She ran into the room as soon as the door was pushed open. She glanced around the room and ran towards the bathroom door. She twisted the knob several times without success. She tapped on the door as she called out “Hubby… Hubby… open the door…. Hubby, it’s me … open the door.”“Hubby…...please open the door…... Hubby, it’s me… I am sorry I am late…. Please…. Hubby, please open the door.”“Hubby….”Emile’s sob woke the men who were stunned outside. They all rushed in at the same time.“Step as
The ambulance sped all the way to hospital while Neil, Master, Bai-Min and Lai-Li raced against time to hold on to what little life was remaining in Chris; He had already fallen into a deep sleep. Although Neil’s hands didn’t stop what he needed to do, he didn’t forget to pass a voice message to Adrian asking him to gather as many people as possible who are willing to donate and are either AB-ve, O-ve, A-ve or B-ve to the operation theatre on the 3rd floor of emergency department of Good Samaritan Hospital.At the hospital, everything was organized and ready for them; however much to the surprise of all the staff who were scrubbed and ready, Neil requested everyone to be sent out except for Chiara and a group of nurses who were responsible for blood collection. Once everyone was cleared out, Master placed a wooden case that housed more than a dozen pale green coloured small worms on the trolley next to the operating table that Chris was on. Neil, Bai-Min and Lai-Li concentrated on pla
Neil walked back into the theatre and looked at the two people who looked like they were sleeping peacefully and sighed ‘Why do you always have to make trouble for me in pairs? Wonder if the hospital beds are more comfortable? Should I order one for their home so that I can continue being lazy?’He walked out of the inner theatre room and met Chiara who was just returning after ensuring the remaining packs were sent without compromising quality.“Chief, how is my boss?” Chiara asked anxiously as she saw Neil. She was too anxious to notice Neil’s carefree expression.“I am fine.” Neil shrugged, his lips curling up in mischief at an angle not visible to Chiara.“Not you… my boss…” Chiara repeated anxiously as she tugged his arm.“I am your boss.”“No. You are chief. My boss is Christopher Walter.” Chiara pouted stubbornly.Neil wanted to continue teasing her but one of the attenders came over “Dr Livingston, the relatives of the two patients are waiting anxiously. They want to know if th
