Although the expression of Adrian and Marcus attracted the attention of all the Walters, none of them were brave enough to touch the tiger’s whiskers. They just stood ready to support if and when they were needed. However, Elizabeth didn’t have the discernment of the other Walters, she strode towards Neil with a haughty expression and took the papers out of Neil’s hands impolitely. Neil could have stopped her. He wasn’t weak nor was he gentle and polished like most doctors; he, Adrian and Chris were like peas in a pod. But he let her take the paperwork; it wasn’t out of respect or fear of her ‘Senior Mrs Walter’ title like she thought nor because of her status as Chris’s mother…. Heh! Why would he respect the mother that Chris himself wanted to kill right now? The only reason for his indulgence was because he wanted to see what expression she would have once she realized the outcome of all her scheming. He was not an idiot. He had seen the results of Chris’s investigation and also he
Chris didn’t take Marcus’s request into account and hence didn’t respond; he kept walking forward thinking in his head how to organize everything. Marcus wasn’t discouraged by Chris’s inattention and kept on chattering in his ears. “Little uncle, the baby is my responsibility if anything happens to you. I will protect little aunt and my nephew.” Marcus tugged Chris’s hand and looked at his squarely “Little uncle, don’t look at how young I am. I have taken your advice on board from the time I got into that accident and have developed my own strength.” Chris looked at Marcus’s serious expression with an amused smile. “Although I cannot compare to you yet, I am not far off.” Marcus pursed his lips stubbornly “I will not let anything happen to little aunt and my nephew. I am the nephew that you have nurtured, you should at least believe in your skills if not mine.” “Ha…ha…ha…ha…” Chris laughed sincerely although there was a hidden sorrow in them. “I do not doubt your sincerity even fo
Everyone walked in solemn silence towards the operation theatre after Chris’s heart to heart. No one voiced any objections as they knew that Chris’s analysis was spot on. “Any update?” Eric asked Mark as he walked towards him. “Still going.” Mark shook his head; he waited till Eric got close and asked in a whisper, “What happened?” “Everything’s a mess.” Eric sighed in frustration as he sat next to Diana, hugging her in his embrace; he needed to calm his depressed heart. If roles were reversed, he knew Chris would hold the skies for him even though he was his younger brother. However, he had to confess that he didn’t have absolute confidence to refute any of Chris’s claims and could only listen to his arrangements with a heavy heart. Mark felt his heart grow heavy as he noted that Chris nor Eric had any intention to explain. He knew this was not the time and place and yet he felt terrible. He too sighed as he thought of the imminent estrangement between brothers! “Big brother, thi
“Emile…. Emile… my little girl….” Agatha’s sobbing voice came through even before anyone saw the owners of the rushed footsteps. Soon, the Burkes who were rushing towards the theatre as though their life depended on it, appeared in everyone’s sight. The men looked like they were ready to murder while the women were distraught, both old and young without exception. Mark and the rest of the Walter brothers wanted to stand in front of Chris like a wall and moved with this intent in mind however, they were still a step slower than Henry who was like a hungry lion, unleased from its restraint. Chris was in a world of his own, cherishing his last moments with his kids; he didn’t even register the presence of the Burkes. He raised his eyes in confusion as Henry lifted him by his collar. He didn’t even have the strength to hold the babies steady, let alone resist, not that he would have resisted even if had the strength. “Mom take the babies.” Henry growled in a low voice, noticing somethi
As they were scrubbing out of the theatre Chiara asked the question that was bothering her the most. “Dr Livingston, that method of treatment seemed magical and lifesaving.” Chiara pursed her lips uncomfortably before continuing “Why doesn’t your master want to share this with the world? Why does he want to keep it a secret and monopolize?” “Haaiii….” Neil sighed and shook his head helplessly “Is that how you understood?” “Master’s treatment is much more profound than what it looks on the surface. What you saw is the lifesaving aspect, but in the wrong hands, it can become a devastating disaster, one that even the heavens cannot reverse.” “The world has become much more complicated and sinister; the ancients are best forgotten.” Neil waved his hand regretfully “But master is unwilling. That is why he is still practicing, hoping that someday, the wisdom of the ancients can be used to truly benefit the world but until then he must guard it.” “Modern medicine is freely taught and pra
Addison looked at his best friend's miserable state and wanted to pacify him, but he didn't know how. He thought for a while before leaning closer to Eric and whispered with a gossipy glint in his eyes “Tell me, are you the legal guardian of the babies?” He realized that the best way was to distract his attention and what better way than to goad him? Just as Addison expected, Eric picked the bait. “When would it be my turn?” Eric’s lips curled resentfully as he muttered “How could it be any of us with my mom behaving like this?” “Is it me?” Addison feigned an exaggerated expression of excitement. “Heh! When would it be your turn?” Eric twisted his lips “You are even more unreliable than me in their books.” “Then??” Addison wanted to get to the bottom of it. He could understand why Chris didn’t choose any of the Walters. The reason he was digging was because he thought Chris had chosen First brother. “Night Wing.” Eric pursed his lips into a straight line. “He isn’t even married
Night Wing bought the Burkes back to Chris’s private villa outside the main residence and arranged rooms for everyone. He had contacted homebase and given instructions for setting up the villa as soon as he saw the Burkes arriving. He didn’t falter in his duties even though he was in shock; more accurately, distraught state of mind with his boss’s wilfulness. He was definitely worthy of being Chris’s right hand man. He had instructed Night Vigil to get someone to open up and tidy the unused rooms in the west wing and to transfer a few maids to the villa so that there would be no fault in Chris’s care. “Son, what is the status of the kids?” Matthias asked as soon as they reached the villa and settled down. He was holding in till now, waiting for the right moment. Now that it was just his family, he didn’t need to hold back. He knew that Night Wing wasn’t just a shadow guard to Chris and gave him his due with his attitude and treated him as any other junior. “Old master, both of them
While the Burkes had calmed down and started to relax from the stress of the day, the Walter main residence was in an uproar. Hours earlier, as soon as the Walters reached home, Elizabeth could no longer hold her temper and started throwing a temper tantrum. She had been fuming all the way from when she had been disregarded by her husband and sons at the hospital till now. “What are you all rebelling like this for?” Elizabeth fumed as she stormed into the house and threw her handbag on to the tea table “What did I do to deserve such disrespect from all of you?” “Where will I put from my face if you treat me like this in front of outsiders?” Elizabeth kept ranting without giving anyone a chance to respond. “Mom, have you finished?” Mark asked in a low growl when he saw that his mother taking a sip of water. Elizabeth turned to look at Mark with a resentful gaze; This was her eldest son, the one she struggled with the most to bring him up safely, and now…. “Do you not know what you
