“Let us give him one additional week. If there is no improvement, he is free to take him back instead of allowing him to die here.”“That is my point.”“After all, he has done a lot for him.”“I'm glad that you are seeing it that way.”“It is okay. Let's see him.” Dr. Robinson got up and Tim did the same thing.Back To The Ward“It is okay,” Richard said, sat down on the bed, and began to interrogate Michael. “Do you think he is still happy with Canterbury?” Michael was startled to hear that and answered honestly, “Certainly, Major.”“I don't think so. It was the hatred for us that led him into this. Am I right?”“Not at all, Major. He incurred a lot of debt because our Head of State was not responding to his emails.”“We are saying the same thing. He wished to take his life and put the blame on us because he hated us.”His point was succinct and he could not argue further. Notwithstanding, Richard wished to ensure that he freed his country from a negative reputation before them an
Richard took them to the Dome where the contractors were waiting for them. Indeed, Samuel's birthday changed their destinies. They only saw the Dome on television before the war. Thereafter, they had no television or the means of seeing it.“Wow!” They exclaimed when they got out of the car.“Do you like the place?” Richard asked them.“Yes, Major,” they responded with glee.They met the contractors and read the terms and conditions of the contract and the two soldiers interpreted it to them where there was ambiguity. At last, one person declined and only Fabian and one person signed the contract.“What is your name?” Richard asked the one who declined after he drove off.“My name is Tyler, Major.”“That is good. Why did you decline the contract?”“From the conditions, I won't have my privacy. My movement will be restricted. I don't like such a lifestyle,” he answered.“That is a wise decision. Fabian and co, do you understand that your privacy will be tampered with as a celebrity?”“
“Point of correction, I am Miss Dickson,” she explained arrogantly.“I see,” he swallowed hard and responded.“Meanwhile, why are you pretending to care about me after releasing the video of my abortion to the public? That shows how unprofessional you are. Are you aware that I can sue you for that?”“It is not what you think. We can talk about it.”“You can keep that to yourself because that is not why I am here. I want the report of the abortion. Period.”“Ha! What do you need it for? I think you should apologize to your husband and come back together.”“I said it. You are unprofessional and too old to articulate the happenings around you. How can a dead man come back with his ex-wife?”To avoid complicating things more, he dropped the discussion and acquiesced to her opinion, “I got it. Kindly wait for your report at the reception. It will be ready in a couple of minutes.”She pushed her lips up and walked out angrily.“Ha! Tim must have lived in bondage while living with her,” he c
A few kilometers away from the hospital, the ambulance screeched and stopped suddenly and the impact almost threw Ambrose off the bed. Tim was affected, too, too, but he was more interested in saving the patient. “Oh!” He screamed and supported him with his two hands.He tried to ensure that he did not fall by pushing him slightly back to the bed. In his haste, many things happened at the same time. His cross bag had hit him severally but he was not bothered.Meanwhile, Ambrose was startled and tried to support himself. He grabbed his bag and Tim was scared. He observed him and noticed that his eyes were open.“Driver, be patient with me and I will pay everything I owe you before the week runs out,” he rambled.“Who are you talking to, Ambrose?” Tim asked him and he was shocked to hear his voice.He looked intently at Tim, but instead of looking back, he knocked on the window to alert the driver, who was trying to restart the vehicle.As an Emergency Medical Technician, he had heard
Meanwhile, Ambrose had sat up and was waiting for the medical gadgets to be removed. The driver looked into his wet eyes and wondered why he was not happy. Instantly, he pulled out the gadgets and adjusted his hospital clothes.“Kindly send for the stretcher,” Dr. Robinson requested and Dr. Edward obeyed.“Ask the mortician to get ready, please,” he faced Dr. Raphael and pleaded.Ambrose got out of the ambulance and Tim led the way. To say that the doctors and Michael were befuddled was an understatement. The driver tried to support him since Tim and Richard were unwilling to do so but he declined.“Don't bother yourself, Sir. I will be fine,” he said and walked on.At that moment, the doctors were back to the verandah, and they saw them.“What happened?” They asked in astonishment.Michael, who bent his head and was weeping, looked up and saw them. He was scared and ran into the reception and stopped when the doctors did not run.The open-mouthed Dr. Robinson looked at the driver and
“Gerald, I am not proud …”“Eat your food,” he yelled at him and concentrated on the television.He broke down instantly and pleaded, “Kindly, hear me out, please. I know I goofed.”“Eat your food first, Ambrose. We will talk about it later,” Richard pacified him.He dried his tears with the back of his hand and sniffed, “Okay.”Michael was crestfallen but he assisted him to open the dishes before he began to eat his own. He was eating silently while Tim ogled at him to ensure that he was eating. Despite the heaviness of his heart, he ate the much that could sustain him.“I'm through,” he said and pushed his plate aside.“Thank you for the meal,” he looked at the two and appreciated them.“You are welcome,” Richard responded while Tim mumbled his response.Michael rounded up his meal immediately and appreciated them as well.“We can leave whenever you are ready,” Tim announced and got up.They got up, too, and Tim said, “Let me inform the doctor,” he said and walked out.They followed
At The Auxiliary Armory PLCTim pulled off his mask before he got to the General Manager's office and opened the door expectantly but he was not prepared for what he saw. His eyes went straight to the secretary's desk and he was disappointed to see it empty.His disappointment was visible to all but the clerk could not say the reason.“Good day, Sir,” the. The clerk greeted him.He breathed in and out to relax his utter and still despondency before he answered, “Good day, Clerk. How is the work going?”“Work is going well, Sir. Kindly take your seat,” he answered and directed him to a seat.He fixed his eyes on him as though he could get the answer to his question from his face before he sat down and appreciated him, “Thank you, for the offer, Clerk.”“You are welcome, Sir. The secretary is with the GM. You will see him when she comes out,” he informed him.As simple as the information was, it soothed his troubled spirit.“I got it. Thank you for informing me,” he answered not knowing
At Mount OliveThe bigamy suit had begun, and all odds seemed against Cecilia and the fake Duke because Tim only presented the picture of the demolished house and alleged that she dumped her husband in the hospital and married the fake Duke. The suit came up a few days after the duke was released at the police station, and he was distraught.Everyone, including Cecilia, was not aware of how the corpse of the original Duke left the palace, but they could not state that as their defense. Rather, she admitted that she dumped him in the hospital but denied marrying the fake Duke.“Why can't anything good come out of Cecilia?” He asked himself in utter hopelessness and began to beat her. Incidentally, her witchcraft was unable to save her.The day they appeared in the court, the two were better described as dead. They were so Ill, and as planned, the old man did not appear because he was critically ill but his lawyer did a good job.Presently, the fake Duke's hope was the new palace. He co
They followed him afterward. Shortly after, they were on the premises. To their chagrin, Bright and his friend, Ted were waiting along with Collins.They saluted the Second in Command and the Minister accordingly and they returned the salute.Kay asked the General Manager, "Why have you not closed?""I can't close when my president has not," he answered him sincerely.He was pleased with him. He looked around and saw over two hundred staff members waiting for him. He concluded that George must be a good leader to attract such a gesture. Although Godwin did not comment on it, he had taken note. He watched his crew members as they set their equipment.At 7:55 PM, the Airport Manager called Kay and informed him that they would land within six minutes."Thank you for informing me," he appreciated him and continued to wait.Meanwhile, they landed a few minutes earlier and he informed him again. Without delay, they boarded the helicopter and left the airport. Not quite long, they were in th
He was on lunch when he saw George's trip. He dropped his cutlery and focused on the television. His joy escalated when he saw him granting an interview to the pressmen. He was engrossed in the television and did not know that Collins had driven into the courtyard. Before Ella walked in, the news was over, and he was surprised to see her.She was surprised to see him in such a happy mood. She walked up to him, crossed her hand on his shoulder, and kissed his temple."Welcome back, my love," he greeted her warmly.She sat down opposite him, studied his face for a clue, and answered him, "Thank you, dear. How was your day?""My day was fine. And yours?""Fine," she answered him."How did you come back?""Good afternoon, Old man," Collins greeted him."Ha! Good afternoon, Collins. Thank you for bringing her back.""It is my pleasure, Old man. I will be on my way," he informed him."It's okay. Take care.""Take care, Sergeant," Ella added."I will. Goodbye.""Welcome back, Duchess," Fran
All the same, he was happy that he cheered Bright up.Laura whose embargo on eating in the canteen would end that day, was eating in the lobby. She was ashamed of herself when she saw George's confidence. She focused on the television with her mouth agape."What is giving this boy so much confidence? Could he be the Third in Command and the President as Dad said?" She mulled over.The thought that George could be her president weakened her and stole her appetite."How will I get a husband to marry? All my efforts are failing," she said in despair.Now, she lost her appetite, stopped eating, and covered her flask. To keep herself busy until the break was over, she picked up her phone. She was not surprised when George's story popped up and grimaced. She read the comments by some ladies about George and was jealous."Imagine that? What about us?" She asked herself.At The Dome Vincent woke up and was idle - the lifestyle he hated most. Previously, he would have been on the road and wou
At Raino Airport The team landed after seven hours. They looked at the General, who was sleeping soundly, and wondered what to do."I can wake him up," Richard volunteered and did.George got out of the aircraft by walking confidently down the staircase followed by Jerry and Silas. At that point, many media houses had their beam lights on him. After them, the next person they saw was a disheveled Gen. Anderson, who was in cuffs. Richard guided him until he stepped on the last staircase. Tim got out, too, and adjusted his cross bag.George led them until they got to the tarmac. Before Gen. Anderson crossed, Richard unlocked the cuffs and retrieved them. He gave him an arm salute and as usual, he ignored him.Before they could turn, a Raino soldier cuffed him at once. The reporters were disappointed. They thought they would walk to the lobby and grant them an interview. Since they did not, they ran after them. When they caught up with him, they began their interview, "Welcome to Rai
At The Canterbury Defense Academy The cadets were in the mess room having their breakfast when they were watching the broadcast. Gerald and Samuel became cold at once but concealed it. Although they were still with their phones, they could not call Tim or George for fear of being reprimanded for disturbing them. Gerald ate his food as though he was not disturbed. Afterward, he walked to Samuel's section and met him staring at his food and lost in thought. Despite that, he would do nothing; his presence could assuage his anxieties. "Eat your food," he encouraged him.Samuel was startled by his voice and looked up. He smiled dryly when he saw him and said, "Okay."He watched him as he finished his food and got up.Now, everyone was out of the mess room and walking to their classrooms. It was time to speak on the broadcast."Maj. Young would have separated his head from his neck. Foolish man.""I don't know why they hate us.""What was the driver's offense?""I wish I knew. He wished t
At Tim's House George can take everything but not coming home and not meeting Tim. His countenance changed when Collins stopped in front of the foyer and he got out of the car. They saluted him accordingly and he returned the salute. He walked into the parlor and was disturbed by a message. He checked out for the sender and sat down when he noticed that it was from his father.He punched the message and smiled when he saw the picture of the car."Beautiful," he said and admired it.He read the message and was happy with their progress."Wow! He has spoken with his parents-in-law. That is good," he pointed out.He vacillated over calling Tim to find out his whereabouts."He may be too busy, and I don't want to disturb him," he said, got up, and headed to his room.After changing his clothes, he laid on the bed for a nap. He woke up a few minutes before 6 PM and concluded that he was back. He was about to leave his room when he got a call from him. He picked it up anxiously and greet
"Yes, Mom and Dad. We indicated our interest to get married today.""Wow! I thought you would never marry, Ella," her mother teased her.She laughed softly and responded, "It is not so, Mom. I have found the person I love and I am getting married. That is it.""Ha, Ella. I can't believe that you are talking about marriage. How is the man?" Her mother asked her curiously."Is the man handsome?" Her father asked her jokingly and she laughed aloud."I can't wait to see the man who is worthy of your love," her mother added."We shall see. Speak with my husband," she said."Are you with him?" Her mother anxiously asked her."Yes, Mom. He heard everything you said about him."Before her mother could react, she handed the phone over to the old man. He looked at her happy face before he spoke."Good day, Mother-in-law. I am pleased to speak with you."'So it is true?' she mumbled before she greeted him, "Good day, my in-law. I'm happy to hear from you. How are you?""I'm good. And you?""We a
At The Christchurch DomeVincent was only following them like a sheep being led to the slaughter. Left for him, he would love to be with his family. When Tim stopped, he was hesitant to get out of the car."Here we are," Richard said and got out of the car.He expected him to do the same thing. When he did not, he opened the door for him and said, "Come out."He obeyed and he shut the door. He led him to the foyer while Tim called the Second in Command.When he picked up the call, he greeted him, "Good evening, Tim. What's up.""Good evening, Your Excellency. Are you still in the office?""No.""It is okay. I took the driver away from the hospital. Dr. Morgan was responsible for the mix-up.""Oh, my God! Where are you?""I'm at the Dome. He is safer here.""Wait for me. I'm still around.""It's all right," he said and the call ended.He got out of the car and joined the two in the foyer. Incidentally, Vincent's phone rang, and he tried to pick up the call."For now, no calls until we
Nevertheless, the media crew parked in front of the hospital and waited for instructions from the Minister."I will let you know what to do," he informed them."We got it, Boss," they answered him simultaneously.The three of them followed Tim who was leading the way. At that time, he had ensured that his secret camera was on.Instead of seeing Dr. Morgan in his office, he led them to the ward hoping to catch the caregiver or anyone responsible for the act. He pushed the door and walked in at once and the others followed.Dr. Rochford was startled and he looked up. He was frightened to see three high-ranking soldiers with unhappy faces. Meanwhile, Vincent woke up when the door creaked and focused on the soldiers. He suspected that they had come for him and sat up. To get the truth from him, Tim smiled broadly, and Dr. Rochford, who they did not recognize,e, was surprised to see that for the first time."Good morning, Vincent," he greeted him.On hearing his first name, he assumed tha
