ENOUGH!

The journey to Glistening Royal Hospital takes just a few minutes for the cab driver as he pulls over a huge white-colored building and that leaves Lucien who had just relaxed a few minutes ago with the thoughts that the journey just started in awe.

He looks at the so huge building not just twice but thrice and stares back at the cab driver who has been staring at him all this time while playing with his keys and at the same time waiting for his pay. "Are you sure we are in the right place, Sir?" He implores softly and once again takes a peek at the building before staring back. "I'm sorry to say but this place looks more like a hotel than a hospital."

The cab driver laughs out loud to the extent that tears start trickling down his cheeks.

Lucien curls his brows at him. "And what's funny about what I just said?"

"Everything is." He retorts and laughs once more. "Who doesn't know the no.1 Americans biggest hospital 'Glistening Royal Hospital?' A wretched fellow like you I guess." He chuckles more and rolls his eyes.

Lucien smiles not feeling moved by his choice of words in any way and gets down from the cab. "How much is your money?" He asks through the front door open glass, stares around to be sure that no one is watching and puts his right hand into his right back pocket, and brings out two wraps of one hundred dollar notes.

"J..us..t..hu..nd..re..d..do..ll..ar..s..si..r" he stutters and swallows a lump of spittle.

Lucien chuckles at his sudden change in attitude, shakes his head, and hands him everything. "You can keep the rest." He walks out before the stunned cab driver could say anything and makes a little body dance.

"See babes! Isn't that the runaway ex of Juliet Pearson?" A young fair lady standing close to the entrance of the hospital whispers to a lady beside her and points at Lucien.

The lady follows her stretched hand and nods abruptly. "That's him!" She exclaims and fixes her eyes on him. "What's he doing here? He looks just the same— so frayed and unkempt." She crinkles her nose and hisses.

"Maybe he's here to beg for money lest he dies," the first lady says and both burst out laughing still not taking their eyes off him.

Lucien gets to where the ladies are and walks into the hospital without even giving them a look even though he knows they are gossiping about him. He keeps walking but suddenly gets stopped by a huge dude in uniform.

"I told you he would get stopped" the lady who had earlier stated that perhaps Lucien came to beg for money whispers at the same other lady and winks at her.

"I never doubted it when you said it, did I? He looks like a mad man so it's normal for him to be stopped and sent out. I can't wait for the latter to happen." The other lady retorts and giggles.

"Poor wretched Lucien Wood in the four walls of Glistening Royal Hospital. Astounding..."

"He must be a fool if he thinks he will be let to cross..."

"He's always been a fool so don't be surprised that he might have thought that. Haven't you heard that he disrupted Juliet's wedding? Oh, poor Brooks didn't deserve what he got..."

"He should be caught and held behind bars..."

More and more people both old and young in the hospital continue murmuring and some even begin visualizing disastrous storylines. Some who were outside walk in just not to miss this exciting scene as they think it.

"My lover lies in one of the wards in this hospital. I need to see her and know how she's faring so please get out of my way" Lucien mutters in an icy voice and stares deeply at the uniformed dude.

The uniformed dude gets astonished by his tone and words that he involuntarily takes a step backward. To say that he is so frightened by the words of a good-for-nothing like Lucien Wood makes him feel so insulted that he clenches his fist.

Lucien glances at him coldly seeing his clenched fist and covers the remaining space between them. "If you think you are strong enough as your body makes you feel then hoist a fist at me. If you don't wake up in the afterlife then let my name be taken away from me."

"Who does he think he is..."

"Is he really claiming strong now..."

"A weakling like him is claiming that he can send this huge dude to his death..."

"Gosh! This guy should just scatter his face..."

The dude shivers at his domineering aura as he has never beheld such aura before and to the amazement of all the people walks away without a single word and Lucien chuckles.

"Good choice bro" he mumbles under his breath, glances at the people whose hands were over their mouths, and continues his walk leaving them to sort out themselves.

He gets to the receptionist counter and remembering he doesn't know the ward Juliet is in halts and clears his throat.

"Get out from here asshole!" The young receptionist shrieks at him even before he could say anything and glares at him.

"You will be begging for your job if your boss gets to find out that you shouted at me," he replies in all smiles and ruffles his hair.

The receptionist chuckles and rolls her eyes at him. "In your dreams asshole! What the hell are you doing here? Better talk before I call the guard on you!" She slams her hand on the counter and stamps her foot.

"Do you mean that guard over there?" He points at the guard who happens to be the same dude that had initially stopped him and chuckles.

"Yes! What about him?" She retorts and curls her brows.

"Look at him. Does he look like one that will want to come ten meters close to me?"

The guard catching a glimpse of Lucien when he pointed at him shivers even though he is far away and walks out.

"You see what I told you?" Lucien laughs and waves his hand in the air as if commanding a choir.

"Enough!" The receptionist wails and once again slams her hand on the counter and thick veins pass over her face.
