"I'll be at the corridor waiting.. Incase you need my help...." Diana said and then heaved a sigh, "an angry sigh" "just three minutes" she added and then opened the door and went out. She knew in not more than three minutes time, Jason would come to her, begging her to come treat his mother.
It's already two minute since she left the room and not even Jason or the doctor bothered about her absence. The Doctor was busy with Sonia's acupuncture treatment and he was already and entirely drenched in sweat. Soon, he finally inserted the last silver needle in the acupoint in Sonia's chest.Dr Steve had not much confidence in the treatment that he had just administered, thus, he watched closely. "Sonia ought to have opened her eyes by now" he got worried. Once an acupuncture treatment is carried out on a patient, immediately the last needle is inserted, he or she regains consciousness and opens his or her eyes, but, why was she yet to open her eyes?Thirty seconds more had elapsed making it two minutes, thirty seconds since Diana exited the room."Doctor? Is everything alright? She ought to regain her consciousness and open her eyes by now right?" Jason questioned as he was almost close to accepting the reality of what was happening.Before the Doctor could respond, Sonia began to tremble violently, she looked to be experiencing an excruciating pain as she began to experience an epileptic seizure and that made it more weird. She was not suffering from epilepsy but how?"Mum... Mum...!" Jason yelled as he turned to the doctor with a panic-struck self, "Dr Steve do something... Why is this happening?"At that moment, even Dr Steve was lost in the land of thoughts as he mentally scrolled through his options and all that he has studied about acupuncture. He knew he was not a professional but this couldn't have been the result .....He felt so distressed, "I don't ...I don't really know what's happening...why it turned out this way... This ought not to be the result......" He blurted out."What garbage are you spewing? You're the doctor here and you don't know why? " Jason roared at the doctor in despair and desperate recklessness.Meanwhile, Sonia's shiver was beginning to grow faint gradually, and then she finally stopped moving, even her breath couldn't be felt at all.Seeing the change in Sonia's case, Dr Steve's panic intensified. If anything happens to Sonia, he would have to suffer grave consequences."Let me call the ambulance quickly...." The doctor suggested again. He needed something or someone to Shirk the responsibilities into. If Sonia dies in the hospital, clearly it'd not be his fault but if in his hands now? He can't even imagine the hell Jason would make him experience. Jason was not just a low-key billionaire that everyone knew, he had way more secrets....Dr Steve then unearthed his phone and after the third set of ring with no response, he sighed in panic and anger."My mum is dying you son of a bitch....!" Jason exploded, he already lost his rational mind. Given his mum's condition. There were no way she would make it to the hospital, the doctor had even stated it before now that she can't make it on time and now he wants to take her to the hospital?"Do you think I'm dumb?""You better save her now! Don't even think you'll survive this unscathed if she doesn't make it!" Jason threated, this time more annoyingly that it startled the doctor.Jason's family is one of the most powerful and wealthiest family in Delta city. Each heir becomes the executioner of the succeeding Queen of the Quins royal empire. Jason's father was an executioner to Catherine and now, Jason is an executioner to Catherine's student. Catherine had willingly past the position to Diana.An executioner is the personal guard to the queen of the quins royal empire and destroying a lowly Doctor would take no more than a flick of his fingers.Immediately, Dr Steve began to rack on his brain, he was completely terror stricken by his threat. He hoped the threats were empty treats, but they were not. Then it is occured to him......Diana........"What about that young lady that you sent out few minutes ago? She might know one or two and perhaps provide a solution. I think she probably has something to offer.." Dr Steve quickly suggested.Once the words registered in Jason, it reminded him of Diana. Still, he can't have forgotten that few minutes ago, Dr steve as well looked down upon her and now he thinks she probably has something to offer?Evidently, Dr Steve was planning on letting Diana take the blame.Once she steps in and then starts to treat Sonia, even if she is probably dead, Steve would be able to dispell and same time dissolve himself of any responsibility."Maybe, just maybe she knows one or two... Afterall she is the Queen of the Quins royal regiment...", Jason thought. After a moment of hesitation, he let go off Sonia who slumped lifelessly on the bed as he darted out of the bedroom.When he got to the corridor, he was surprised to see Diana there, obviously waiting for something or someone.....it's already some seconds past three minutes.Jason quickly rushed to her, and just when he wanted to speak, Diana interrupted his awkward expression. "Don't worry..." She said as she gradually raised her at him, Jason could only help but avert his gaze. Not long ago, he tactically called her on the carpet and now he is begging her.Looking at his reaction, Diana only chuckled.Following Diana back to the room, Jason saw Dr Steve listening to Sonia's heartbeat but once he realized they had entered the room, he got up with his head covered in cold sweats.The moment he saw Diana, he smiled diabolically but internally as he felt he has seen his savior. He could easily push the blame to her once she took over with her the treatment. But if she saves her... Goodluck to her...Despite the possibilities of Dr Steve losing everything, he felt it would not hurt to be polite to her so, he potentially lowered himself and apologized.Diana ignored the sudden change of Steve's attitude towards her as she shoot Sonia a glance, "Time to exercise my fingers!" She said and dropped into action."Do you have any seirin needle in your medical bag?" Diana asked as she felt the pulse at Sonia's neck. It was barely moving."Seirin needle?" Dr Steve was stunned."Yes. A set of 0.35cm" Diana responded."Seirin needles? A set of 0.35cm seirin needles?" He was further stunned. Over his years as a medical doctor he has never learnt or heard of any medical expert using a 0.35cm long seirin needle for acupuncture,each time it had been unsuccessful and it has long been forgotten and dumped.However, he always has a set of such needles with him. He quickly brought it out and gave it to him."Do you have another set?" Diana inquired."Yes, why?""These ones won't be enough. I need more...." Diana explained.A set of 0.35cm long seirin needles contains 24 each and no one in entire History has used a seirin needle, even the normal silver needle that is commonly used, only the expert and president of the association of traditional medicine could insert a whole 24 silver needles and till date he has not even used a seirin needle and as a result, 24 seirin needles should be enough.Now.... This young lady wants how many?"How many more? Steve finally asked."Another set..." Diana responded warmly as she stretched her fingers.Seirin needles were painless gold needles....Dr Steve was stupefied by her response. She needs forty eight seirin needles??????? What for?His eyes were filled with horror. Nevertheless, he didn't say anything, he handed over the remaining set of seirin needle.After receiving them, Diana swiftly removed all the roughly positioned silver needles from Sonia's acupoint and dropped them into their respective box.Then she asked Dr Steve to press against the viral point in Sonia's legs and he did exactly that. Moving with a janus-face marked by his deliberate deceptiveness, by pretending one set of feelings and acting under the influence of another, she swiftly positioned and started inserting the needles into Sonia's vital acupoints. In a jiffy, she had already inserted twenty Three seirin needles and now she was drenched in cold sweats as she looked to be exerting a lot of strength and carefulness in doing so.When she finally inserted the last needle. Diana let out a long sigh and then slumped to the wall behind her like she was completely drained. Of course! She was drained.All through the entire time of Diana's acupun
Diana watched Dr Steve entered his car and zoomed off, just then someone tapped her from behind, with a shock and alertness she turned, surprisingly, it was Jason."He ought to be with his mum..." She thought"You good now?" He inquired."Yea..." Diana responded, looking at him quizzically. "Ms Queen..." He started, " I can't thank you enough. You saved my mother's life and if not for you I don't know what would have happened to her.. I appreciate you kindness and help a lot.... " Diana was oddly touched with the way he humbled himself and thanked her. “You are welcome,” she said in response."Is there anything you need from me? If there is, tell me about it. I'll readily fulfill it as far as it's within my power..." Jason declared resolutely. He was hell bent in doing anything for her as far as she saves his mum, he didn't wanted to lose her now."You're being too kind Jason, as I barely did anything. Furthermore, this is one of least I could do for my executioner and also a friend
"Diana???" At that moment, a fashionably well dressed man who happened to be in his late twenties called out to her as he climbed the stairs from the VIP section of the bank. He clearly overheard her talk.Behind him were two burly looking bouncers with a serious face and each holding a baton and one carrying a bag, obviously filled with cash. They both wore black tuxedos.The man was wearing a pair of fashion glasses, and and ice gold chain worth millions of dollars around his neck, his dress code somehow accentuated the kind of work he does, probably a singer/ musician or a dancer or both combined, as his left arm was covered in tattoos.In Delta city, if you're not a singer, a musician, a disc jockey, a wrestler, a footballer, and e.t.c you'd dare not have tattoos so it gave Diana something to think about... She doesn't remember knowing someone who does all of that! Still, who is this? She thought as he approached,"And you're?" She furrowed her eye brows slightly and further scru
Meanwhile...Shortly after Gibson and his boys exited the bank in shame, someone rushed to him from behind and reported to him that Diana was actually a supreme VIP customer, unlike him who was a regular vip member.Upon hearing that, he almost burst a vessel. He calmed himself and then threw a bunch of Cash at the "aproko" Then the few people who had been waiting for Diana outside spotted him and rushed over."What a coincidence boss, I didn't expect to meet you here.." the leader with gold chains around his neck exclaimed as he lowered himself in respect.His men too prostrated. "What are you guys doing here? Did I fucking not warn all of you not to approach me in public?" Gibson yelled with a small range."Sorry boss. Someone owe us money. So, we're waiting for her to withdraw the money.." the leader apologized and explain."Boss, it's the loan of one million dollar debt that doubled to five million dollar debt within three years..." He added, explaining further."He said "her"
As she entered the mall she saw a poster with the date may 13th and it subtly reminded her of the the day May 13th.. Catherine had told her to go to the Quins island on that day and from there she would bestowed with wonderful opportunities.It was just a month away and she can't wait.....She entered the shop and coolness from the air conditioner entertained her first. It was vastly spacious inside. The chilling air was like a special service that instantly wiped off her sweat and hotness. She glanced around and asked the security officer nearby direction to the department store. She didn't know which walkway to follow as other customers were busy with one or two shopping...However, the glowing aesthetic of the building, the beautiful lights, to the sparkling clean floor, to the elevators captured her.On knowing which way to go, she started towards the right and towards the extreme end was the department store.In a jiffy, she was at the clothing store and was picking up some clo
At this moment,the lackey with the cat like claw stomped on the ground viciously, causing cracks to spread out across the ground. His hands took the form of a cat claw, and his veins could be seen popping out across the back of his hands and indeed it was a horrifying sight to behold. After that, he took a step forward showcased his inert abilities and then, he stretched his feet outward and a strong friction was instantly created between his feet and the ground. All of a sudden, he appeared before Diana like a bolt of lightning, his cat iron claw aiming straight at Diana's stomach."Ahhhh.... It seems I underestimated this lackeys. Of course, it is his daughter and he hired expert to guard and protect her!" Diana thought and then narrowed her eyes as she sized the lackey up, already knowing that the latter was a highly skilled man. Outright, Diana's vision became dark as a strong blast of wind resulted. Feeling the prickling sensations spreading across her stomach, she realized she
At half past eleven in the morning, the entrance of the Diamond hotel, the only ten star hotel was already cluttered with luxurious cars. All the salient figures from the political, business sectors and even the spectacular leaders of the Quins empire regiments had arrived early enough, long before the wedding begins. Mr Wakin's had specifically invited all regiment leaders and also business partners to celebrate with him as his only daughter gets married to Promising Oliver, a manager that runs one of his business branch.The prominent figures all greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries before they entered into the ten star hotel alongside their entourage, some of them came with family members and friends, they were further led to the hall where the wedding was taking place, and as they were being led through the lobby, some of the business tycoons who hardly have time to enjoy the luxury of this world feed their eyes with the astonishing crystal chandeliers hanging from the
As soon as he gave out the order, the bouncers by the entrance instantly blocked Diana's path.Diana halted by her footstep at the sight of the bouncers blocking her path menacingly, with the rage burning within her she slowly turned back to look at Oliver, "Are you sure you want me to attend your wedding?" She demanded, her voice was stern."Why not! I want you to see it with your own eyes!" He responded almost immediately.Someone Diana helped by letting herself be a collateral so that Oliver could get the loan he needed. He got the loan and didn't just part ways with her, he wants her to attend his wedding? With not just anyone, with the daughter of the family that unjustly sent her to prison?"I wonder what made you believed that my son actually would marry you when you come back from prison. My son would never marry an ex-convict.. over my dead body!" Oliver's mother, Melinda, walked into view and spoke, her words like daggers piercing through Diana's heart without mercy.Diana he
