Here, you should drink water and rest. We will talk about who poisoned the coffee later” Andrew said and Alfred scoffed lightly.“Even if you try to hide the truth I know who did it” Alfred said and Andrew felt his heartbeat increase.“I know Lisa did” he said and managed to stand up from the bed and walked towards his wardrobe then brought out a gun from his wardrobe.“Where do you think you’re going Alfred?” Andrew asked worriedly “To end everything once and for all. To kill that bastard whose attempt was to kill me” Alfred said and was about walking out of the room when Andrew held him.“Alfred please you need to calm down please” Andrew said looking scared as ever. He knows if Alfred gets the opportunity to get out of his room and goes to that of Lisa, he was going to kill her.He had to do something to stop him.“Lisa didn’t poison the coffee. The maid who served the coffee poisoned it and I locked her up in the cell room. When you fully recover you can go torture her yourself a
Chapter 28What’s that? Why does it smell that way?” Alfred asked weakly.“It’s medicine sir. It’s going to absorb the poison and make the pain stop “ Lisa said in a convincing way too and Alfred had no option than to take it. He just wanted this goddamn pain to stop so he could be himself again cause right now he wasn’t himself.Lisa gave him the medicine and made him drink all of it. Immediately he took the medicine prepared by her and he started throwing up.Lisa became worried. She helped him clean up when he stopped throwing up and made him lay on the bed and he drifted to sleep.Lisa sighed softly as he watched him . He can’t believe just poison could bring down a ruthless man like Alfred. Such is life.She cleaned the room and after she was done she sat on the couch in his room staring at the man in front of him who was fast asleep. The guards had come into this room more than ten times just to check what she was doing. She couldn’t blame them, she knew they were ordered to d
Chapter 29He turned to Lisa who was still asleep, her face looking beautiful with her red lips which were as red as blood. And her skin looked so tender and pure. Alfred almost found himself admiring her but he quickly wiped off the thoughts. He walked towards her in an attempt to wake her up so she could get out of his room but he Quickly stopped. He had actually called her so she could come serve him food but now she’s asleep and he didn’t want to wake her up.But then he did what no one could expect him to do. He helped her lay properly on the couch and covered her with the duvet. He walked out of the room and went to his study room. He sat on his chair and opened his laptop.********************************* It was morning again and another new day to be precise. Lisa had woken up and met herself lying on Alfred’s couch, covered with his duvet. “She had fallen asleep in his room last night but did he?” She stared at the duvet in her hands.She looked around the room and
Chapter 30Just then Alfred walked inside his room , he was on a phone call with Andrew.“Those fucking client are so stubborn. They were not as easy as you think Alfred but thankfully I convinced them and they signed it. This calls for celebration, I’ll be home in just 20 minutes” Andrew kept talking non stop and Alfred sighed.“Okay but………” Alfred paused as she saw Lisa lying on the ground in the pool of her own blood.“Alfred are you there?” Andrew asked as Alfred became silent.“I’ll call you back Andrew, I got some important matters to handle” he said and ended the call.He moved towards Lisa, bent to her level and touched her head which was still bleeding, then looked around his room but then she noticed something was off. His wardrobe was open.He stood up and walked towards his wardrobe only to find out the paper he’d kept there yesterday was missing and now Lisa lying unconscious “What a coincidence “ he thought ********************************************* “What happe
Chapter 31Hello grandma “ he said happily “Uhm, Andrew this isn’t grandma “ a voice said from the phone. Andrew recognized the voice immediately. It’s Hayley , the woman grandma is staying with, who is a distant relative of hers.“Where’s grandma?” “Andrew, I didn’t want you to hear this from me but…….” She paused and gave out a deep breath.“What happened to grandma?” Andrew asked nervously as he stared at Alfred who was also staring at him.“She’s sick and has been admitted in the hospital“ she said“How’s she now?” Andrew asked“She’s okay, probably calling out for his grandson Alfred all the time” she said and Alfred felt his heart melt immediately.“Grandma” he muttered softly and Andrew stared at him“Fine then. I’ll come pick her” Andrew says and ends the call.“Prepare all the papers and everything you need to prepare. Grandma returns home” Alfred muttered and immediately he left.“Always as usual, I’m left alone to do everything “ Andrew muttered and walked out of the stud
Chapter 32Okay okay okay, this seems like a reunion between a mother and a child “ Andrew said and Alfred turned to him.“Can you please just shut up already. You talk too much” Alfred said and walked out of the house.He stood outside the house staring at the sky. He remembered when her mom was still alive, he took care of every one of his nerds, and paid him so much attention even though she was always busy. He loves his mom so much, she was his super hero until she was taken away the least time he had expected. She died of cancer. After she left grandma was the only mom he had. She was there for him, took care of him. She just doesn’t want to lose her. He’s ready to do anything to make sure she’s going to get well. Even if it means going poor. He just doesn’t want to lose her and he’s ready to do anything to make her happy.************************************“Common grandma you’re funny “ Lisa laughed at the joke grandma Teresa made that made her smile.“I do not know why Lis
Chapter 33I’m sorry grandma, I promise I’m going to make everything alright. I’m going to make sure you’re fine. You gonna be alright” Alfred said giving her assurance but deep down grandma Teresa knew there was no hope. She knew everything was never going to be fine, she was not going to be fine.she knew it was over for her. Her days on earth were complete.She’s dying already, she can feel her spirit leaving her body, slowly . She was going to die and nothing could stop it but you know her greatest joy, she has hope, she believes everything is going to be fine with Alfred again as far Lisa is by his side.She believes he’s going to have that peace of mind he’s always craved for.“Grandma I promise you, you're going to be fine” Alfred said and grandma nodded. He just didn’t want to let his hopes down so she just stared at him as he assured her.Just then Alfred heard his phone . He stared at the caller’s ID and quickly wiped his tears then walked out of the ward.He walked out of th
34Meanwhile Lisa is seen standing at a corner watching the whole incident take place from the beginning. She understands how Alfred feels, the pain of not wanting to. lose someone you love the most, pain of not wanting to lose someone you care for She felt the same way when she lost her mother and at a time she blamed herself too for not being able to save her when she should have, but guess that was fate.Grandma is gone, Alfred just needs to understand and accept the fact that she’s gone. Lisa sighed softly as her eyes came in contact with that of Andrew.But then again on the other hand Lisa began to wonder what grandma was about telling her before she died. She wondered what it was. Alfred wiped his tears and walked out of the hospital with his car keys in his hands leaving Lisa and Andrew in the hospital.“I’m sorry for what happened” Lisa said as he walked towards Andrew who stood there with no expression on his face.“Yeah, I’m fine, I'm okay. I’m just thinking about Alfred.
