“TTHHHHUUUUDDD”The door fell backwards into the room, stunning not just the occupant but also the people outside.Amanda was stunned as she was unaware of the havoc outside due to the sound proofing effects inside the room; the people outside were stunned due to the outfit or the lack of it on the person inside the room.“Aaahhhh” Amanda screamed as she ran to hide behind the curtain as she could find anything to cover her modesty within her arms reach.However, none of this was Emile’s concern. She ran into the room as soon as the door was pushed open. She glanced around the room and ran towards the bathroom door. She twisted the knob several times without success. She tapped on the door as she called out “Hubby… Hubby… open the door…. Hubby, it’s me … open the door.”“Hubby…...please open the door…... Hubby, it’s me… I am sorry I am late…. Please…. Hubby, please open the door.”“Hubby….”Emile’s sob woke the men who were stunned outside. They all rushed in at the same time.“Step as
The ambulance sped all the way to hospital while Neil, Master, Bai-Min and Lai-Li raced against time to hold on to what little life was remaining in Chris; He had already fallen into a deep sleep. Although Neil’s hands didn’t stop what he needed to do, he didn’t forget to pass a voice message to Adrian asking him to gather as many people as possible who are willing to donate and are either AB-ve, O-ve, A-ve or B-ve to the operation theatre on the 3rd floor of emergency department of Good Samaritan Hospital.At the hospital, everything was organized and ready for them; however much to the surprise of all the staff who were scrubbed and ready, Neil requested everyone to be sent out except for Chiara and a group of nurses who were responsible for blood collection. Once everyone was cleared out, Master placed a wooden case that housed more than a dozen pale green coloured small worms on the trolley next to the operating table that Chris was on. Neil, Bai-Min and Lai-Li concentrated on pla
Neil walked back into the theatre and looked at the two people who looked like they were sleeping peacefully and sighed ‘Why do you always have to make trouble for me in pairs? Wonder if the hospital beds are more comfortable? Should I order one for their home so that I can continue being lazy?’He walked out of the inner theatre room and met Chiara who was just returning after ensuring the remaining packs were sent without compromising quality.“Chief, how is my boss?” Chiara asked anxiously as she saw Neil. She was too anxious to notice Neil’s carefree expression.“I am fine.” Neil shrugged, his lips curling up in mischief at an angle not visible to Chiara.“Not you… my boss…” Chiara repeated anxiously as she tugged his arm.“I am your boss.”“No. You are chief. My boss is Christopher Walter.” Chiara pouted stubbornly.Neil wanted to continue teasing her but one of the attenders came over “Dr Livingston, the relatives of the two patients are waiting anxiously. They want to know if th
The Walters followed Adam's lead and walked away, one after the other, although their back weren't as proud and straight as they normally were. How could they lift their heads in good conscience when they were the culprits behind their little brother's current plight? Even though they were not directly involved how could they wash themselves of the responsibility of their little brother being on the verge of death?How could their little brother who was otherwise invincible be in such a pathetic plight if they hadn’t forced him with the shackles of relationship to forgive their mother? No one spoke, a gloomy aura surrounded them as they walked out of the hospital.No one saw Elizabeth who was leaning against the pillar and watching the theatre door, tears streaming down her cheeks. She had been standing in the same position since she arrived which was shortly after Night Wing and the rest bought Emile. She never expected her son to want to embrace death rather than relieving the effect
“Son, we will leave everything here to you and head back.” Agatha came forward to comfort Neil “The kids are alone with the nannies at the cottage. Message us when they wake up and we will come with the kids.”“I better come with you.” Night Wing was about to walk forward when Henry pulled him back by the collar.“Don’t run back and forth. Everyone knows that you will run back the minute we enter the door.” Henry’s lips curled in mockery “We know the way home. You stay and guard your precious Boss.”“Errr…. Actually…” Night Wing scratched the back of his head in embarrassment “I will come with you and explain on the way.” He didn’t want to speak while they were out and about. He knew, the walls had ears.”“Go on… We are here.” Neil put his arms around Adrian’s shoulders as he pushed Night Wing with the other hand.No one spoke as they walked out of the hospital; Elizabeth stood still behind the pillar, too scared to move. She had heard everything Neil said and regretted even more…. th
While the Burkes relaxed and rested at Chris’s villa, things were neither relaxed nor restful at the Walter main residence.Adam sat at his customary seat with his sons (in laws) and daughters (in laws) around him. He didn’t have his usual calm and amiable aura but was enveloped in a gloomy aura. The kids with exception of Marcus, Miles, Penny and Vincent were all sent back to their individual villas along with their nannies. No one made a fuss, even the youngest, Mayne knew that something was not right with the adults.“Dad, what are you going to do?” Mark decided to address the elephant in the room while everyone shifted uncomfortably in their chairs.“Family law.” Adam pursed his lips; he didn’t want to…. God knew he didn’t… this was the woman he loved with all his heart… but there were some things that couldn’t be forgiven.No one spoke or rather dared to; they were all feeling conflicted with mixed feelings. While none of them supported Elizabeth’s actions, neither could they dis
Emile sat by the windowsill hugging her knees and looking at the endless night with a desolate expression trying to filter out the annoying sounds coming from the master bedroom. She let out a soft sigh thought about her miserable existence. Eight years of infatuated love and 3 years of marriage with absolute devotion left her with nothing but endless shame and an empty house. In the three years of marriage, there was not a day that the newspapers and entertainment world did not have a news of the colorful scandals for her husband. Emile rested her chin on her knees as she thought back to the folly of her youth. She met Daniel during her first year of university at a gathering of family friends. If at first, she was mesmerized by his handsome face and his domineering aura, later she fell in love with his brilliance and character. Emile was an outstanding bubbly and beautiful girl. She was the goddess in the hearts of almost all the young men at her university, but she had eyes only
Emile woke up with the first rays of sunlight. She hummed a tune as she busied herself in the kitchen making breakfast. Her steps were lighter with the joy of determination after a torturous night of self-evaluation and reminiscing. She finished her breakfast and left home without waiting for the Daniel to wake up.Daniel however was already awake. He lifted his eyebrows curiously as he heard the happy humming coming from outside. But he didn’t get up as Michelle was sleeping nestled in his embrace.Emile first visited her grandfather trusted aide, Lawyer Hee and spent the whole morning discussing and drafting her next steps. In the afternoon she visited grandpa Holston.“Grandpa, I am here to visit you.” Emile stood at the entrance of the living room after the butler had announced her arrival.“Come… come….” Grandpa Holston waved his wrinkled hand as he invited her enthusiastically. Emile walked over and sat next to him with a polite smile “How are you feeling, Grandpa?”“All the mor
