Episode 26 : Rebuilding Trust
Sir Lancelot carried out the test in Mr. Louis’s body; everyone was waiting to hear its result. The looks on Sir Lancelot’s face showed that a severe had been unleashed.
“Where is the boy “? Sir Lancelot asked Doctor Who knew that the truth had been found.
“He’s inward 121,” he replied, trembling.
“Sir, will you donate your blood to the boy? Your blood is a perfect match to his, ” Sir Lancelot replied, thus creating a moment of silence in the room as everyone’s attention drifted to Doctor Willie. It’s obvious he lied, and they all needed an explanation for it. He looked down to avoid the angry eyes of Mr. Louis, which was feeding on him.
“Doctor, how could you lie “? Patricia asked, feeling her tears of joy forming in her eyes. Mike was not himself. He was fuming in deep anger. His face expression changed instantly to the one of an angry lion, his tightened his fist before the knew what was happening Mike sent Doctor Willie a strong and heavy punch that landed him on one of the laboratory bed.
“You wanted my brother dead? After much of my pleading to save him, you are an animal,” he fired at him as the cops held him tight.
“Calm down, and we will handle this young boy. Just thank God all is okay now, ” Sir Lancelot said, bringing his eyes to look at Doctor Willie, who was bleeding seriously.
“You deserve even more than that for playing with your license. Now tell me, what didn’t you want to save this poor boy ” he fired at him. He wasn’t ready to say anything, so Sir Lancelot orders his men to show him how to talk.
Raymond arrived at the hospital that night.
His cap covered his face, likewise arrow who followed him from behind. Without time wastage, he moved over to where the doctor’s office e is located, knocking on the door, heard no sound or voice asking him to go in. He twisted the knob down and pulled the door open to find the office empty.
“I think he’s in that crazy ward. Today marks his end, idiot. He thinks he can come and take my place just like that, ” Raymond said, bringing out the deadly drug Doctor Willie sent him to buy to inject Desmond for him to die instantly.
“Man, just be careful,” arrow added before they proceed to Desmond’s ward.
Doctor Willie was seriously bleeding this time around. He refused to mention why he wanted Desmond dead and sent him. They were still trying to get the answers from him. The room went silent immediately as if they knew there; something is going to happen. Raymond got close to the door.
He listened very well to sure he’s the only one in the ward.
“Doctor, “? Raymond called from outside because the door was locked from inside, they all went dumb, and Sir Lancelot signaled Doctor Willie to talk. Of course, Doctor Willie knows who was at the door because of the mission they had that day, but it was so unlucky for him that he’s being caught.
“Doctor Willie am here with the drug, ” Raymond added, and Sir Lancelot orders his men to take a perfect stand. Though he didn’t know the person, he was sure it was not an ordinary case.
Slowly Doctor Willie walked to the door to open the door. He was being guarded and followed from behind. He was handcuffed. He slowly unlocked the door from behind.
“We are running out of time, the doctor. Let’s carry out everything,” Raymond said just immediately, Doctor Willie was trying to eye him, but he didn’t understand.
“Doctor, you are taking me far, or you allow me to do it my way “? He said, rubbing his bald head. He pushed Doctor Willie out of the way to reveal a group of police cops with their riffles. Instantly without waiting for anyone to tell him, he jamb the door back, which hit Doctor Willie.
“Who was there “? Sir Lancelot asked gently. The door was far away from them so that they couldn’t hear them. Meanwhile, Raymond’s heart was racing so fast, thinking of how he would have got caught by the cops, which is the last thing he doesn’t want to happen.
“I always tell you to be careful,” arrow said as Raymond looked at him.
“Do you know if it’s a set up from the doctor ” arrow added, and Raymond found sense in the word, thus giving more chance to think?
Doctor Willie was badly wounded since he wasn’t ready to tell the cops the truth. Sir Lancelot handed Doctor Willie to his men while he went to do the necessary for Desmond to come back to life. The transfusion was successful as Sir Lancelot carried it out.
“Let’s see how the case will be in the next 10 hours,” he said to Mike and Patricia, who nodded their heads.
“Take him away!” he ordered his men as they drag sir Willie away with blood all over him.
Mr. Louis was lying in the laboratory after the transfusion. The room was cold and fit as he was asleep due to the blood he had loosed to Desmond. His eyes were shut while his breathing rate was a slow one.
” I sense trouble somewhere. We need to get rid of that idiot before he wakes up, or else I’m doom,” Raymond said to arrow pacing up and down in the room. The bright light that was illuminating the room shone on his forehead.
“We need back up for the work, or else we will be doom,” arrow added while Raymond sat down.
Early in the morning, Tessy woke up, stretching her body and yawning. She stood up, heading to the bathroom for a quick shower. She checked the wall clock to see 7:40 am. She stood on the cold water and shower in her like an early morning shower from above.
She closed her eyes, allowing the water to do its work. After 30 minutes, she stepped into her room to do the usual makeup. Just then, a soft knock sounded on her door. It was too early for a knock to sound on her door, so she was surprised.
“Mom,”? She called softly, but no response came. She stood up, holding on to her towel, which she tied across her chest, walking to the door, she grabbed the doorknob and twisted it down to reveal handsome Jerold standing before her. His nerves failed her, and she was weak.
She couldn’t move nor talk. They kept and maintained that position. Jerold stood there with his hands in his pocket, looking more charming and handsome. The atmosphere moved from regular to a lovely one as love filled the air.
The looks on Jerold’s eyes showed love. He bends his neck to one corner looking at Tessy, who was busy holding her towel well, wondering what he wants.
“I love you, Tessy ” Jerold broke the silence with a smile on his face. Tessy couldn’t believe her ears. Her heart was no longer stable as it kept increasing its beating rate. The tears were already formed, ready to drop. Jerold opened his arms wide as she ran to him and embraced him, crying on his shoulder.
“I’ve learned that everyone has their past lives; it was part of your past life, Tessy. I love you,” Jerold said as Tessy was busy sniffing.
Mike and Patricia were sitting next to Desmond to see the miracle that will happen. They didn’t sleep for the last night they were guarding Desmond. Mike felt Patricia’s love for Desmond and prayed he love her back the way she does.
It has pass 10 hours already, Sir Lancelot said, but nothing happened, no sign of Desmond waking up nor moving his body, thus increasing the fear in them.
Meanwhile, no doctor was there to do anything in case of emergency cause Doctor Willie is already in custody answering questions. Sir Louis coughed, waking up after the long sleep.
He looked to find himself on the hospital bed and was wearing a patient’s clothing. Just then, he recalled what happened the previous day. He stood up, heading out of the ward to Desmond ward, opening the door. He found Mike and Patricia beside sitting next to Desmond. Seeing him, Mike stood up, rushing to him.
‘You are awake sir, how are you feeling now “? He asked.
“A little okay,” he replied.
“What did the doctor said, “? He asked.
‘He said that he still be awake in the next 10 hours, but this is exactly 15 hours without any sign of life,” he replied, looking back at Desmond again to see the outcome of the situation, which got then worried also. Just as he was still talking to me, Louis Desmond coughed and began vibrating instantly. The machines were beeping, which was connected to his body.
It was so serious, Mike rushed to his side, likewise Patricia trying to calm down the situation, but he kept vibrating the more. He kept shaking the bed and shaking until he stopped and went dumb instantly.
“Doctor, “! Patricia shouted on top of her voice, but no help came.
Episode 27 : A New Beginning
Doctor Willie was retained in the police cell. They needed more evidence to carry his case to a higher level.
Raymond and arrow were preparing to visit the hospital to get rid of both Desmond and Doctor Willie, and thinking Doctor Willie betrayed him. Raymond took his pistol, likewise the arrow, who was ready to strike.
The news got to the cops that Raymond is around, and they have reinforced their team in search of Raymond, which was unknown to him.
“Babe, please be fast. Let’s go, ” Juliet said to Evelyn, who was busy wearing her heels to visit Tessy in the house.
Tessy wasn’t ready to let go of Jerold. She holds him wrapping his arms around him as she felt her heart beating.
“Jerold, “? She called softly, still hugging him.
” I’m sorry,” she pleaded again, disengaging from the hug and looking into his eyes.
Patricia ran out of the ward with full force to look for help from outside. Nurse Abigail who heard the shouts, came into the ward seeing how the atmosphere was. She came into the ward, and Mike grabs her on the clothing.
“Please do something, ” Mike shouted at her as she stood there, thinking of what next to do.
Sir Louis took his phone and dialed Sir Lancelot’s number, which rang instantly, and he picked up on the second beep.
“Hello sir, please sir, we need your help, please. The boy just coughed and then went still again without moving, ” Sir Louis said aloud.
“I will be there right away,” he said, ending the call.
The room’s atmosphere was so hot as Mike kept pacing up and down, thinking of what would happen next.
Patricia, too, wasn’t in a good mode. She was also praying for Desmond to wake up. After 30 minutes, Sir Lancelot arrived at the hospital, walking straight to the ward Desmond was. He twisted the door open, and everything was being explained to him from the start. He took out some required things needed. He conducted a test on him as Mike kept looking at what the result will be.
Sir Lancelot took off his gloves and other things he used to conduct the test.
“He will be fine, Sir,” Sir Lancelot said to him, who kept mute but paid close attention to him.
“Sir, “? Mike called him, drawing his attention.
“Are you sure he’s going to be fine “? He asked him which Sir Lancelot nodded his head in agreement. The excitement that filled the house was just unexplainable.
Raymond arrived at the hospital with arrow fully dressed in black attire with their face not covered but had a face cap that covered their faces.
The long gown was rolling on the floor as they proceeded to the doctor’s ward.
“Sir, we got them to trap. They are now in Saint Charles Hospital,” one of the cops said in his walking talkie.
“Good, get our team ready, let’s strike with immediate effect,” Sir Lancelot said over the phone as he took his. Belongings were heading out of the ward after assuring them that all will be well.
“Yes, sir, ” he replied.
“Let’s go, sergeants,” he ordered as they all enter the Toyota Hilux and zoom to the hospital.
Raymond scanned everywhere before entering the doctor’s office. He kicked the door, and Jr opened it immediately. He pointed his pistol directly but found the office empty. Thinking that he’s in Desmond’s ward, they birthday proceeded to the ward.
He knocked on the softly.
“Yes, come in,” sir, Louis replied. Hearing the voice, it sounded familiar to Raymond. He wasn’t sure if it’s true because there’s nothing his father could do in the hospital.
With his pistol in his hand well-positioned, Raymond kicked the door with force in a way the wall vibrated due to the force that was applied on the door.
Sir Louis couldn’t believe who his eyes caught, his son Raymond was before him pointing his pistol at him even Raymond too was shocked seeing Mr. Louis because he wasn’t expecting him at that moment he aimed to kill Desmond and Doctor Willie, but that will not stop him from doing his work.
Mike was boiling in anger as for Patricia, and she was shaking and vibrating physically, seeing Raymond, her first love, with a gun pointing directly at his father. She was shocked because she has never seen Raymond in such mode before.
“Raymond “? She called softly.
“Yes, Patricia, we finally meet again but in the wrong way,” he said while his face was directly at Desmond lying on the bed.
“Get down now, “! He ordered, but Sir Louis was not moving an inch, even Mike, but Patricia was already on the floor.
“Where’s Doctor Willie “? He asked nobody in particular as none gave him the response.
“I say get down now “! He ordered angrily, but Mike proved stubborn even Sir Louis, which got the arrow mad, he pulls the trigger and released one bullet, but Mike dodges it.
“Please Mike, let’s obey him and do as he has said, ” Patricia begged from the floor she was with her face covered.
“It’s too bad someone will not be alive to see his real father,” Raymond said, drifting his attention to Desmond, which the word got sir Louis confused, thinking of what he meant by such.
“Time is going, ” arrow said to Raymond, who walked slowly towards Desmond’s bed, looking closely at him.
“Am sorry, man, I need to end it this way,” Raymond said, ready to pull the trigger. Sir Louis hit him hard on the head with a nearby stool as he fell, and blood started running down his head.
Angrily arrow pulled the trigger and released the bullet towards Sir Louis as the bullet caught him on the shoulder. Sir Louis groaned in pain, rolling on the ground.
Mike sees that stood up with full force to attack the arrow. The door cracked open instantly as the cops surrounded them.
“Your hands on your head, ” Sir Lancelot ordered as arrow stood in awe, wondering how he got trapped so easily.
Without time wastage, they handcuff the both of them, dragging them out of the ward to the police vehicle.
Sir Louis was admitted instantly.
Desmond slowly opened his eyes to find himself in a strange environment after so many days and weeks, which seemed strange. He looked around to see a figure covering her face on his bed. He sat up.
“Who are you “? Desmond asked softly, feeling a sharp pain crossing his chest. Patricia woke up to the sound of the voice she heard. Seeing Desmond awake sitting on the bed, she couldn’t hold her happiness as she jumped on him, not minding his current situation.
“Mike! Mike! He’s awake,” she shouted, running out of the ward to Sir Louis ward to tell Mike of the latest news.
“Mike, he’s awake,” she said to Mike, who ran out instantly following her from behind. He pushed the door open forcefully to see Desmond looking and scanning the environment.
“Dude, you are awake, “? He asked, smiling and sitting next to him.
“Where am I “? Desmond asked, looking the both of them from one to another.
“Man relaxes, you are safe. Just thank God for your health, “Mike said.
“Who are you? What are you doing here “? Desmond asked, looking strangely at the both of them as Mike and Patricia exchanged a surprised glance at each other.
Episode 28 : The Return of Old Foes
Mike was confused at what was happening, and making the issue worse, Desmond kept looking at the both of them strangely as a baby girl looking at her mom to breastfeed her.
“Now tell us what happened back then in the hospital “? Sir Lancelot asked Doctor Willie, who was now sitting before him with bruises on his face as a criminal being caught in the act of rape. He was not ready to talk, and Sir Lancelot was prepared by all means to make him talk by force.
Sir Lancelot gave him a hot slap that turned his face backward, making her rub her cheeks in pain.
“You were to serve our country and save people’s lives, that was why you were called doctor, but you came and do the opposite of it, now tell us why and who sent you, ” Sir Lancelot said as the camera was now pointing at the both of them to capture what is happening in the room.
Back to the other end where Raymond and arrow were being held, looking at Raymond specifically, he could easily see the bruises on his arms, face, and most of all, his back, which was stamped with an electric iron giving him tough times. Due to how the cops suffered before arresting them, they need to torture them very well.
Tessy opened the door to see Juliet and Evelyn standing at the door. She almost shouted loud due to the unexpected visit.
She jumped on Evelyn, thus making her stagger so as not to fall.
She opened the door wide for all of them to enter, which they did. The scent that accompanied them was so fabulous.
“How are you guys doing “? Tessy asked, pouring the red wine into three glasses as she lives it up to them.
“We are fine, but we missed you,” Evelyn said almost immediately as Tessy giggled.
“Okay, by the way, how did you locate me “? She asked, waiting to hear the response.
“It’s as simple a thing as possible. We just asked about the girl who got lost a month ago,” Juliet replied, thus making her remember her pains and heartbreak even all she passed through because of Raymond. Juliet noticed her change of mode, and she understood why.
“Babe, take it easy. What happened “? Juliet asked, dropping her cup and adjusting forward to hear her explanations and what she has to say.
Patricia left for her house as her eyes were reddish, seeing her mode from the door. Angelina rushed her.
“Babe, what’s it? What happened to Desmond”? She asked just immediately as Patricia dropped her bag and collapsed on the bed, flinging her long hair backward to have a clear view. The room’s silence was just too much, as if they were observing w moment of silence to Desmond, which wasn’t so.
“You are making me scared, please dear, talk to me, ” Angelina begged, and she sighed.
“Babe, a miracle happened, and another miracle happened at the same time today in the hospital,” Patricia said the confusing Angelina the more as the surprised expression could be seen on her face.
“And what do you mean by that “? She asked, looking straight into her eyes.
“Babe miraculously sir Louis blood matched with that of Desmond, and he is alive now,” she explained, thus making Angelina jump up in excitement.
“And why are you sad now? You should be happy,” Angelina said, shaking her on the shoulder.
“The sad part is that Desmond doesn’t know me again,” she explained bitterly.
“What do you mean by that, Patricia “?
“He woke up first scanning everywhere and after he asked us what happened to him which we knew that he wouldn’t recall, but the shockest part is that he asked me who I am,” she explained sadly.
“Do you know if he’s joking “? Angelina asked.
“I’m telling you real-life something, and you are talking about jokes, you till the time I left the hospital he kept staring at the both of us strangely asking us who we are and he seems to be nonstable ” Patricia explained further, and Angelina understood what was happening.
“No, this is not happening, no, it’s not happening, ” Angelina said, and Patricia kept looking at her strangely, wondering what she meant by that.
“What do you mean “? She asked.
“Babe Desmond is suffering from Amnesia,” she said.
“You mean memory loss “? She asked again to be sure that’s the meaning.
“Yes, dear,” Angelina replied
Sir Louis opened his eyes slowly trying to get up but withdrew back feeling a sharp pain on his arm, he looked to see his arm with a bandage, and he later recalled what happened, thus bringing back his memory about Desmond.
Back to the cell, Sir Willie was tortured to the extent he finally speaks up after seeing that the cops are not ready to let him go except tell them the truth.
“I was sent to kill Desmond any day he comes to the hospital in any way, even wounded or not,” Doctor Willie explained with blood dripping on his mouth. The camera captured everything as Sir Lancelot wrote down what he said.
“Who sent you “? He asked, bringing back his attention to him.
“I was sent by Raymond Louis “? He explained.
“Why did he sent you to kill an innocent soul for no reason as a professional doctor that you are “? Sir Lancelot asked, still writing down the essential points that will be needful in the law court.
“He said that according to the way Desmond is, it looks like he is sir Louis missing son who got missing, and he doesn’t want anyone to take his place as Mr. Louis, son, ” Doctor Willie explained.
“Did the test you conducted prove so? And was that why you fake the hospital report “? In a furious rage, Sir Lancelot asked him how wicked and cruel he is not to allow a missing son to reunite with his missing father finally.
Mike put a call to Sir Lancelot telling him about Desmond’s current situation as he couldn’t bear it alone. Sir Lancelot promised to be there in a while.
Tessy finished explaining everything that happened to her in the case of her love for Raymond.
“I warned you to be careful of the choice you make, ” Evelyn said.
“I thought that he was the right man, not knowing that he’s a wicked being, ” Tessy explained bitterly.
“We understand everything. We just thank God that you are alive and safe now. So what about him? Where is he “?
“The cops are still searching for him cause he disappeared after the incident,” she explained.
“We hope to see you soon in school,” Evelyn said, standing up, ready to leave.
“You are leaving so soon, “?
“Yes, we have overstayed.”
“Thanks for your visit. I gladly appreciate it. See you soon,” she said, leading them and escorting them to the park which they boarded a cap heading home after promising to visit her any day again.
Raymond was suffering because the cops didn’t take it lightly with him. They tortured him from one way to the other. They did several things to him, and seeing that he will soon pass out if it continues like that, he decided to speak up.
” I sent Doctor Willie to kill Desmond instead of saving him,” he said
“What “?
“Yes, I did that,” he added, feeling the hotness on his body as it kept burning him where the iron was placed on his back.
After ordering the hospital, Sir Lancelot arrived at the hospital to employ another experienced doctor to handle patients until Doctor Willie’s case is settled.
He walked straight to Desmond’s ward, and after being told what happened, he carried out his test as Desmond was busy sleeping. After the test, the same his head negatively, looking at Mike as Mike stood up to hear him out.
“Mike, it’s so sad that your friend is now suffering from another sickness entirely,” Sir Lancelot explained.
“Sir, what could that be, sir “? He asked.
“He’s suffering from Amnesia Mike memory loss,” he explained.
“Doctor, is there no way to solve this issue “? Mike asked.
“You guys need to stay around. He needs to see familiar things and people that he has seen that will help much, ” Sir Lancelot replied as he drops his gloves taking off his glasses.
Episode 29 : Final Test of Love and Loyalty
“What is happening here “? Jerold asked, fuming in anger when he got to his father’s company after hearing the news that his current secretary has been sacked without his notice. His reaction alone could tell that something is going on between them, but it wasn’t so.
“I need to be consulted before any decision is taken, ” Jerold said angrily, hitting his fist on the glass table.
“We are sorry it was the manager’s decision, ” young Adele said, rubbing his two palms together like q baby who is begging the mother for forgiveness. Meanwhile, Jerold was busy pressing his phone as he placed it on his ears.
“Come back to the office now and resume your work,” he said angrily on the phone, ending the call immediately.
“You not to be a doctor for Christ’s sake, how could you? Because of money wants a family who got loss years back not to be united “?sir Alexander said angrily, squeezing his two ears.
“Get ready to rot in jail, fool,” he said, banging the door from behind walking away from doctor Willie who was now thinking about what fate will decide.
Patricia woke and yawning, she turned to the other side, trying to touch Angelina, but she was already awake.
She stood up, stretching her body. She took up her flip flops to the bathroom for a quick shower. The scent alone that filled the house at that moment could be described as a pleasant one. Patricia smiled, allowing the water to run down her body, still inhaling the sweet scent coming out of the kitchen. It’s no other person handwork than Angelina, that’s why she so much loves her.
She stepped out of the bathroom tub after what seems like 30 minutes pass. The dry towel was already soaked with water as Patricia cleaned her body.
“Babe, see you later. I’m off,” she said hurriedly after dressing up, looking more charming and attractive than never before. She stood there with her hands on her waist, talking to Angelina.
“heading to where “? She asked, facing her this time around without thinking about what’s on fire.
“To check on Desmond, of course,” Patricia just immediately not allowing her to land.
“I knew it, but please stay back from the hospital for a while. It may help you. You don’t have to do this way. I know you like him but don’t make it look like you are forcing yourself on someone.
Let him value you and love you the more, ” Angelina said, turning back to the pot that was steaming on fire. Seeing the truth in what Angelina just wait, Patricia dropped her bag on the kitchen counter and relaxed on it.
“Thanks, babe, you are one in a million. What would I have done without you,” she said, and they both hugged each other.
“It’s nothing. What are friends for? It’s my duty to protect you do the rightful thing,” Angelina replied, smiling.
“I knew you are hungry, and you are not ready to admit it. Let’s have a taste of the salty food,” Angelina joked as Patricia hot her on the shoulder.
Mike watched Desmond sleep silently on the hospital bed like a baby, his handsome face, but his memory was lost. How could he possibly make it returned to normal immediately after it had been damaged? He has been waiting and expecting to see Patricia, but she was nowhere to be found, unlike her. She always arrives earlier before him, but here he is, and she’s not got.
He was beginning to get disturbed and bored since Desmond didn’t even move with his body or head.
Placing the phone on his ears to called Patricia, who was not yesterday.
Sir Lancelot arrived at his office as two police officers ran after him.
“Sorry, every information is set for the case of Doctor Willie,” said the first officer.
“Good set everything I place tomorrow the case starts.
“Sir, we still need more evidence for this case because of the evidence, ” the second cop said.
“Carry out more investigation if that’s the case, ” Sir Lancelot ordered immediately. They saluted him leaving the office.
Sir Louis woke up with a slight pain on his head, which was playing like the Methodist drums playing, the environment looked strange to him at first, but he was he stood up in his hospital clothes heading to Desmond’s ward.
Just as he entered, an alert entered his phone, beeping and showing the green light for a message. “Meet me at my office this evening, ” the message reads, and it was from Sir Lancelot.
Looking at Desmond from head to toe, he resembled someone familiar to him, but he can’t recall when and where he met such a person.
“Mike, how’s “? Sir Louis asked.
“No improvement, sir,” he replied, relaxing on one of the cushions.
“It’s still the same,” he replied just then. Desmond woke up, yawning and stretching his body. Sir Louis and Mike exchange glance with sir Louis, decided to see if it’s true.
” Desmond,”? Mike called and kept looking strangely at the both of them, from Mike to sir Louis, who shook his head negatively, seeing that there’s no change at all.
“What can you remember anything, Desmond”? Mike asked, adjusting closer to him, but he kept looking at him as he’s cursing him without saying q word.
“I’ll be right back. I need to see someone, ” sir Louis said, leaving the both of them to have s excellent time together.
Mike kept saying familiar things to Desmond, whether that would help him regain his memory, but the situation was still the same.
(POLICE BARRACKS)
Sir Louis arrived, parked his car in the garage, and walked out. After being saluted by several police officers, he heads straight to Sir Lancelot’s office. He placed a soft knock on the door, waiting for a command to come in. Just as he was anticipating, he heard Sir Lancelot’s voice from inside asking him to come in.
“Have a seat, ” Sir Lancelot said after the both of them shook hands together.
“Thank you,” Mr. Louis replied as he draws out a sit setting his ass on it.
” Just give me a minute, ” Sir Lancelot said, rounding up what he has done and looked at sir Louis. He spoke up.
“Sir, once again, I need you to tell me everything that happened the day your child got missing, ” Sir Lancelot said as Mr. Louis didn’t understand the language. The confused look could be easily seen on his face, thereby telling Sir Lancelot that he doesn’t understand what he’s trying to say to him.
“Sir, we need more strong and heavy evidence for the case of Doctor Willie and Raymond, your son. The case is a very dangerous one, ” Sir Lancelot said, expecting to hear from Mr. Louis.
Which he later narrated everything again, starting from the beginning till the end to him.
Which made Sir Lancelot suggestions to be right. He was right though, even the report of the test h3 Carried out proved it. He needed strong evidence from Mr. Louis to be sure that everything is okay, now he has gotten it, and he is satisfied.
Back to the hospital, Mike has been trying his best to start a friendly conversation with Desmond to see how it will be, but everything ends up like a mess as Desmond kept saying things out of the line.
He kept smiling at every interval.
“Desmond,”? Mike called, and he turned, looking at him without answering nor saying anything.
“Do you know me “? He asked, feeling his throat getting dry because of too much talking, and Desmond shook his head negatively.
“I know you not. Who are you “? He asked, speaking up for the first time since the incident.
Mike tried his best to key into the tune he thinks is the best way to bring back Desmond’s memory, but it seems it didn’t work out the way he was planning.
Raymond and arrow both of them were seriously tortured in the police cell. Bruises were already over their faces, especially Raymond, who was the primary target. Still, his deadly face could be seen.
The news got to Tessy that Raymond was arrested some days ago. She didn’t know what to do but believed that he’s properly taken care of how it was supposed to be in the police cell.
Patricia was tired of staying in the house without seeing Desmond. He wants to see that cute guy, watch him sleep soundly, and watch over him not to be taken away.
Angelina was in the bathroom, taking her bath. Patricia tiptoed out of the house with her heels in her hands; running out of the house, getting to the road, she boarded a cab.
“Saint Charles hospital,” she said immediately to the taxi man entering the car as they drove away.
Episode 30 : A New Chapter
Patricia got to the hospital still with her heels in her hands, running inside Desmond’s ward with full force, making Mike jerk up in fear, wondering who is after her.
Seeing the shoes in her hands, he didn’t understand what was happening. He looked strangely at Patricia, expecting an explanation from her, but instead of saying a word, she wore her heels, walking to where Desmond was.
Angelina emerged from the bathroom after her bath. She used the towel to clean her wet body that water was dripping down.
“Babe, where can we go…” she paused, looking at where Patricia sat, but she was nowhere to be found. She shook her head in disbelief that Patricia has finally escaped from the house to check on Desmond after being warned but, she smelt love in the air, praying that she also finds a man after her heart and who will also, in turn, love her back.
After explaining the whole thing to Sir Louis, Sir Lancelot didn’t take what Sir Lancelot said as truth, but it is left for a time.
After shaking hands with Sir Lancelot, Mr. Louis stood up, walking to the door. He stopped on his track, looking back at Sir Lancelot.
“Once again, thank you, I owe you a lot,” he said, still holding the doorknob.
“It’s our duty to save lives, not to destroy. You are welcome, Louis,” Sir Lancelot said, giving Mr. Louis a thumb up.
It was just a few days left for Doctor Willie to face the people to tell his reasons why he wanted Desmond’s death, according to Raymond’s words as a professional doctor like him whose duty is to save lives, but he did the opposite of it.
His looks were really bad as her body weight reduced, he couldn’t eat nor drink thinking oh, what to say to the crowd on that day because if care is not taken he will be hanged. Remembering what happened to some people earlier, he witnessed it not as easy as they suffered before they were finally destroyed.
“I said it, but you kept telling me that you got everything in control now. What’s, is happening “? Arrow asked, raising his voice in an angry tone feeling the hotness and suffering he had seen because of Raymond’s case.
Saint Charles hospital was there without a doctor to take care of patients, but with doctor Lancelot on Desmond’s side, everything was bound to be calm and great.
Patricia sat down on the bed, watching Desmond as he coughed, waking up from sleep. He looked around, seeing Patricia, who was busy staring at him, likes a newborn baby who couldn’t stay without the mother.
“Desmond, “? She called, waiting to see his reaction, but he stood up with full force and grabbed her the neck angrily as Mike rushed to her sight to rescue her.
“I don’t know you, take me home j don’t belong here,” Desmond shouted on top of his voice, standing up from the bed, taking off the hospital clothes, walking to the door to move away. Mike had to prevent him by blocking him on the way.
Patricia already had started crying that Desmond, even in that situation, is not responding to treatment upon all the doctor’s effort. All seems lost.
Mike tried to stop Desmond, but a sharp and powerful punch landed on his face, making him groan in pain as he looked at Desmond, who in turn looked at him.
“I don’t know you, so please stay away from me,” Desmond said as Mike stay calm.
“Even me?? You don’t know me, “? Patricia asked, and Desmond shook his head in a yes gesture, making the already formed tears in her eyes finally formed.
Mike tried bus best to calm Patricia down that everything would be fine, but his effort was fruitless as she didn’t listen to him.
Tessy was sitting in the parlor as the cold AC kept blowing the house, making it cool.
She was watching a TV program which the news came on instantly, she picked up the TV remote just as Desmond’s case was about displaying she pressed the power off button and the TV went off immediately, she crossed her legs on the table feeling relaxed and calm with her juice in a glass cup sipping it bit by bit.
Just then her phone vibrated, and it was Juliet calling her, he picked the phone again, hearing the ringing tone, she put it on a loudspeaker placing it on he4 ears.
“Hello, where are you now “? Juliet asked her on the phone, which she didn’t understand.
“Yes, I’m home. What’s it “? She asked.
“Turn on your CBB news and see what is happening, do it now,” she said and ended the call as Tessy picked up the remote again, turning on the TV. Seeing Raymond and arrow on the screen, she threw away the remote, shouting and vibrating. She was happy that the cops have finally got Raymond. It was her happiness, but the next thing that displayed on the screen made her weak instantly.
Desmond’s picture was shown with the caption that says “RAYMOND LOUIS WANTS DESMOND DEAD” there she shouted on top of her voice, remembering immediately that there was a man called Desmond who disturbed. She quickly stood up wearing her heels and clothes, heading to saint Charles hospital after seeing the address on the screen. She started praying that he survives, but her prayers were late already.
Sir Louis arrived at the hospital with Sir Lancelot, heading straight to Desmond’s ward to see how he’s fairing. Opening the door, there was Desmond standing right in front of Mike. It seems they had quarrels, but they were not sure. The two older men glanced at each other and back to the teenage boys in the room who didn’t understand what was happening.
“Desmond,”? Sir Lancelot called softly as he turned slowly, looking at him. Just then, the door flung open again, instantly revealing Tessy, who was panting and breathing hard. Her breathing rate was nothing to write home about. She was physically sweating, and her hairs were scattered seeing Tessy. Patricia wondered what was happening likewise, the two men except for Mike, who knew her. She looked to see Desmond standing at a spot she called softly.
“Desmond,”?
Just then, Desmond held his head firmly with his two hands. He began screaming and shouting so loud, still holding his head as it kept spinning and turning, images kept displaying and appearing, but it was so blurry that he couldn’t figure the face. He kept shouting and screaming, holding his head. Everyone in the house was dumped, not knowing what to do because they didn’t understand what was happening.
“No…! ” Desmond shouted on top of his voice, which brought repeated echoes in the house. He collapsed on the bed.
Episode 31 : The Future with Hope
The room went silent immediately, just as Desmond collapsed on the bed. Sir Lancelot rushed to his side, calling the nurses to bring the appropriate injection that will be given to him to calm him down. Without time wastage, the nurses returned with the injection handing it to Sir Lancelot, who collected it from them, filled the syringe with the liquid, and injected Desmond.
Meanwhile, Patricia’s heart racing so fast thinking about how it happened that even when Desmond was awake, he couldn’t recognize her, but he recognized a stranger immediately, which she couldn’t understand. She didn’t even care to look at the strange LR. Still, due to how it so much disturbed her, she turned to see that Tessy was the girl who just entered who brought about Desmond’s current situation.
“Tessy, “? She called, bending her neck to have a clear view of her to be sure it’s her. The rest of the men didn’t care about their conversation. All their concentration was on Desmond to see what will happen next if he runs mad, which they were ready to catch him in case he tries to run, or if his senses will be restored, so the two ladies’ conversation was meaningless to them.
“Patricia, “? Tessy also called, walking close to her. The surprised looked on her face showed how surprised she is.
“What are you doing here “? Patricia asked Tessy feeling her heartbeat increasing, or was Desmond trying to play on her too after suffering from that of Raymond.
“I should be the one asking you that. What are you doing here “? Tessy smiling but seeing that Patricia was not smiling, her smile vanished immediately.
“I came to check on Desmond,” Patricia replied, looking at Tessy’s lips to see the truth from there.
“How do you know him “? Tessy asked without waiting for Patricia to say anything else.
“We are just close friends, how about you “? She asked as her heartbeat increased, praying that it should not be what she’s thinking. It happens to be what she’s thinking. She will never fall in love so quickly again. She waited like a little child patiently to hear what she has to say.
Tessy took time to tell her how it all started from the beginning until the end even told her how Raymond betrayed her, which she fell so quickly for. After explaining everything to her, they both see that they are on the same side.
The court was filled with hundreds of people present to witness what will happen in the case of Doctor Willie, who, instead of saving w soul, tried to kill.
“I need to see you in my office, sir, ” Sir Lancelot said as they both left for his office. Leading the way, he kept on shaking his head occasionally. Sir Louis seeing how tensed up he was, wondered what could be the problem.
“Have a seat, sir,” Sir Lancelot said, relaxing on his office chair as Mr. Louis drag a sit and then relax on it.
“Sir, I will start by asking you a question. For how many years now have your little Alex got missing,” he asked, thus making Mr. Louis be confused about the cause of the discussion because it has already been discussed some days back. Still, for the doctor requesting the story again, he didn’t know why, but he had to answer as a man.
“Why ask the question again, sorry “?
“For confirmation sake and safety purposes,” Sir Lancelot said.
“How? Who’s safety “? He asked again, but Sir Lancelot was not ready for too many questions as he drew out a drawer containing w zeal documents. He opened it and removed the plain sheet with something written on it, probably a test result. It looked like a movie to Mr. Louis everything that was happening, and he didn’t even understand what was happening.
He took out the result and handed it over to Mr. Louis, who collected it and looked closely at the contents. He didn’t understand how it was written, so he looked at Sir Lancelot to see him staring at him.
“What is this “? He asked, adjusting his seat.
“It’s your test results, sir, ” Sir Lancelot explained to him. Still, the confused look was on his face.
“I know it’s my test results, but how about this one? Who owns it “? He asked the other paper to Doctor Lancelot, who collected it and then stretched it back to him as he managed it.
“That’s the boy test results, and that’s you. Now, look at the contents. What is different “? He said to him, looking elsewhere. Mr. Louis took time to studied everything, which happens to be almost the same thing. Doctor Lancelot’s eyes were still on Mr. Louis, thinking of his fate if he sees the main results.
“Everything here is the same “? He asked as Doctor Lancelot nodded his head in a yes gesture. He drew out another test result, which he carried out to be sure he’s not tormenting Raymond but trying to figure out the truth from him.
“DNA test results “?
“Yes, sir, I’m afraid to say this, but I will say it in any way. From the test and everything, we’ve carried on Desmond’s blood and the one of yours. Sir, it’s true that Desmond is your missing Alex of 5 years old,” he said, looking at Mr. Louis to see his reaction. Just then, a sharp pain crossed Mr. Louis’s heart immediately.
“Doctor, if this is a joke, you better stop it before it gets of hand,” he said to Sir Lancelot, who was not laughing nor smiling.
“Sir Desmond is your true biological son who got missing years ago,” he said out loud. Mr. Louis’s heart started racing so fast; the happiness that filled his heart was just unimaginable.
He stood up instantly, walking out of the ward with full speed, as Doctor Lancelot tried to call him but later decided to let him reach his destination.
He opened Desmond’s ward to see him lying peacefully sleeping. Mike and others were nowhere to be found. Maybe they are trying to solve some issues.
Mr. Louis took a step of faith, walking near Desmond’s, praying in his heart for it to be true because he couldn’t just believe it.
“Son, if you are my son. I’m sorry for everything I’ve done to you, sorry for not finding you the time you got missing. I love you, son, we love you, mom loves though she’s gone, and I love you,” he said, drying the tears that were waiting to drop anytime soon.
He pecked Desmond on the cheek and sat down behind him to watch his son, whom he would have killed through an accident if not for God. He didn’t know how to start appreciating God or telling him to thank you for saving my life.
“Doctor Willie, tell us nothing but the truth because it’s the truth that will save you.”
Back to the hospital, Mike, Patricia, and Tessy came back to see Mr. Louis, shedding tears, which were nothing less than tears of joy for seeing his missing son.
Seeing how sober Mr. Louis was, Patricia rushed to his side to be sure Desmond is still alive. She placed her hands on his chest to feel it moving.
“What’s it, sir “? Mike asked as he drew forward, likewise Tessy too. Mr. Louis handed over the test results to Mike, who collected it and looked into it with excitement. He dropped the paper looking back at Mr. Louis.
“Sir, you are Desmond’s father, and Desmond is your missing son “? Mike asked as Mr. Louis nodded his head positively. So all this while Raymond was just an adopted child enjoy what he didn’t sow while the real son is suffering somewhere without knowing himself.
The joy was unspeakable. Mike rushed to Mr. Louis, giving him a firm handshake of happiness.
The noises and the jubilation was just too much, especially Mike, who was so glad that finally Desmond is no longer suffering instead will be enjoying.
He slowly opened his eyes and moved his body, feeling a little headache, seeing him Mr. Louis stood up immediately on the bed as Desmond sat up too. Mike was busy smiling. Desmond sat on the bed holding his neck, looking at everyone from first to the last in the room. Patricia, again, wasn’t stable as she kept praying he should remember her.
“Mike, is that you “? Desmond called softly, looking closely at Michael.
Yes, Desmond, it’s me,” he replied as he rushed to his side and embraced him do tight in a brotherly way. Micheal has missed him so very much, all thanks to God that he is alive now.
“Tessy, “? He called out, but she was afraid to go near him due to how and what she did to him. Mike has her s go-ahead nod to come and embrace Desmond. She walked like a shy baby girl going to apologize to her mom. She stopped, and a teardrop fell from her eyes.
“Desmond, I’m so sorry,” she pleaded in a shaky voice. Then the tears finally fell as she embraces him so tight. Patricia was already jealous about the way she was embracing him. They finally disengaged as Tessy cleaned her wet eyes.
“Who’s she “? Desmond asked Mike, pointing his finger at Patricia as she felt embarrassed that Desmond had recalled everyone but couldn’t recognize her. She swallowed the lump in her throat.
“Desmond, you said you couldn’t recall her “? Mike asked already. Patricia was feeling weak and teary.
“So Desmond, you don’t know me again “? She asked, sniffing, remembering how she spent her precious time to be with him when he was unconscious and how she sacrificed everything for him just to see that he’s okay. Now he can’t remember her again, what’s the essence of her stay there? She ran, heading to the door sniffing. Just as she grabbed the doorknob to twist it down, Desmond called her back.
“Patricia,” called out. Hearing the voice, she had so much missed, hearing the deep voice and the love in it made her stop in her tracks as she turned back to see whether it’s Desmond that called her or not.
She stood there looking at him.
“Who wouldn’t have recalled my own Patricia? The only trouble maker I know, I was just pulling your legs, come over here,” he said, spreading his two hands wide as Mike smiled.
Patricia heard it, she felt relaxed, she felt joy in her heart, she felt happy, but the joke was just so expensive.
Without time wastage, she remembered down to where Desmond sat and embrace him tight, feeling the moment, she didn’t feel like letting go, but she needs to. It was an excellent event as Desmond’s memory returned.
Looking up, he saw Mr. Louis and wondered what he was doing right in front of him.
Mike explained everything to him that sir Louis is the one who mistakenly knocked him down in his car and that he has been there to see that he survives at last.
Desmond was so pleased though he couldn’t believe that he had stayed that long without opening his eyes and other things.
He looked at Mike again and smiled. They both missed each other. All this while smile didn’t depart from Sir Louis’s mouth as he had finally found his missing son. Mike and Tessy were on Desmond’s left hand while Patricia and sir Louis were on his left-hand side.
Desmond was talking to Mike, who didn’t tell him about his real identity, when he heard his name being called, a name which none knew, not even Mike except his father, a name which his father loved calling him back then, for the past 36 years he had missed the name so much.
He looked around but couldn’t see someone familiar that knew the name, making him wonder if he’s hallucinating, which was not so. That instant, he started missing his parents, remembering that tragic night what happened and praying deep down to meet his parents on that day.
He started talking afresh with Mike when the name came again ” Alex The Super Coke ” he looked around to see Mr. Louis smiling at him which he didn’t know why he was smiling, but it looked as if he saw his mouth moving.
“Who called me “? He asked and the three of them, Tessy, Mike and Patricia pointed their hands at sir Louis.
“It’s your father that called you,” they said in unison.
Episode 32 (Finale) : The Ultimate Sacrifice and Redemption
Doctor Willie was found guilty of killing a soul instead of saving a soul according to his profession, but he did the opposite. Many pieces of evidence were provided from Sir Lancelot to prove everything they said against doctor Willie to be true. He didn’t say anything nor has anything to say.
The house was so silent as everyone was waiting to hear the final judgment and what will be done to Doctor Willie was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment with hard labor while Raymond and arrow were sentenced to life imprisonment.
“My son comes here, and it’s me, your father, ” Mr. Louis said as tears were already formed in his eyes, Desmond wasn’t ready to be told that the man in front of him is his father, the man he has seen in school is his father it was not easy for him to believe it.
He looked at Mike, and Mike gave him the go-ahead nod to embracing his father, but he averted his eyes instantly, standing up from the bed and stood at the window looking outside. Patricia was touched even Tessy, who knew the power of reunion and how let feels.
“Mike is this true “? He asked Mike, who spread his hands wide.
“The results prove it true, ” Mike replied as he returned his gaze to Mr. Louis who’s hand was still hanging in the air, ready for a hug.
“I can’t believe you are my dad. My dad and mom died a long time ago,” he said, almost breaking down in tears.
“I know it happened that way during the fire outbreak, but I survived it, and your mom wasn’t able,” Mr. Louis said, walking close to Desmond, who was now starting to believe that it’s true as the memories came back in a fierce way replaying in his memory, how it all happened and he loosed his parents in a fire outbreak.
Tears were formed in Desmond’s eyes, already seeing that he wasn’t ready to admit that he’s his father. Mr. Louis took off his wristwatch and showed him the mark he had since childhood, and he has been showing it to his little boy back then as a mark he will use to recognize him in case of anything, and here comes that time.
“Little Alex, here is what I have been showing you,” he said, showing him the mark, hearing his childhood name, which he changed his brows narrowed in shock as he walked to Mr. Louis slowly.
“Dad? Is this you? My soothsayer “? He asked to make Mr. Louis chuckle because that’s the name his little Alex likes calling him back then.
“Yes, my hero, I’m the one, I’m here come here,” Mr. Louis said, spreading out his hands as Desmond ran in and embraced his father so tight like never before, he wasn’t ready to let go. They both cried on each other’s shoulders; it was a peaceful and happy moment for the two missing families to reunite finally. Tessy cleaned her eyes. She was crying for the reunion of the family, even Patricia. The happiest person was Mike because finally, his buddy has seen his real dad. He gave Desmond a thumb up for a perfect time for a perfect reunion.
“Oh, what did I missed here “? Sir Lancelot asked as he walked in from the door. Desmond disengaged from his father, smiling at Doctor Lancelot because he has been told how sir Lancelot saved his life while Doctor Willie was trying to play wisely.
“Dad, I missed you,” Desmond said, still couldn’t believe that it is happening real. He walked to Sir Lancelot and mostly looked at him.
“Thank you, sir, for saving my life,” he said and embraced him so tight.
The atmosphere in the room was so fantastic for everyone for the great reunion.
“What about Raymond “? Mike asked Sir Lancelot, who took his seat.
“He and doctor Willie are facing their penalty in prison,” he explained as they all chuckled.
Two weeks later…
Desmond was finally discharged from the hospital without time wastage that same day. Sir Louis ordered Desmond things to be moved to his own house. Desmond was busy parking his stuff, still smiling that Mr. Louis is his birth father.
” Leave those things there, let’s move; I’ll get you new stuff,” Mr. Louis said to Desmond, who tried to carry his stiffs outside.
“Dad, those are special and also expensive,” he said, trying to continue as Mr. Louis dragged him away from where he stood.
“We need to go, son, and it’s already late. Let’s move,” Mr. Louis said as he grabbed the doorknob, ready to twist it anytime soon.
Desmond looked at Mike smiling at him from the corner he stood watching him, seriously he was really happy for Desmond to discover his real identity and who he is.
“Man, I’m so happy for you,” Mike said, standing next to Desmond, who was now reflecting on how his life was with Mike always by his side as a brother, a true friend, an adviser, and everything. Mike was just like everything to him. He couldn’t forget him so easily. He thought of how life would have been without Desmond. Truly he was just like his second brother.
“Dude, I’ve cherished our friendship so much. You’ve done much more than that I would have done to you. You stood by my side in times of trouble and pain. I can’t love you less, bro, and you are one in a million. I want you to…”
“Shhhh, don’t talk too much. Dad is waiting. Why not join him? We will talk some other time ” Mike cut him short to save Mr. Louis time. Desmond looked back at his father to see him looked at him too.
“Dad, please, I want to…
“Don’t say anything, Mike better get that your ass up and follow me. People are waiting for your arrival,” Mr. Louis said as Mike looked at Desmond and Desmond to his father.
“Dad, “?
“Son,”? Mr. Louis said, looking at him.
“Sir,”? Mike called, looking near at Mr. Louis.
“You heard me, well young hero, just as he has said you are his hero. Without you and your help, I wouldn’t have found him, so you two are brothers. Now get up from there, let’s go to the house that is waiting to welcome us all back,” Mr. Louis said as Mike’s heart skipped.
“Wow, dad, thank you, thank you so very much. I love you, dad,” he said, embracing him.
It’s been a week since Mike and Desmond moved to their new home with Mr. Louis Desmond’s father. They were like cat and dog. Staying together with each other was just a fantastic thing for Mike and Desmond to come together.
The house was just amazing.
“Dude, how about Patricia? When last did you call her,”? Mike asked him, lying on the bed with his phone in his hand. His masculine body was just amazing, just like that of Desmond, who was busy looking at the ceiling as someone who was expecting a manner to fall from heaven. He didn’t say anything, and Mike turned to see that he’s lost In thought and he didn’t hear him, he shook him, and he jerks up in alert.
“Man Whatsup with you? You’ve been acting dull since morning. What is it? Mike asked, sitting on the bed.
“Bro, I don’t know what to do now but relax. I will tell you later,” he replied, patting Mike on the shoulder. He picked his phone and walked to the mirror, looking at his image, and then smiled like a little kid who has just been given cabin biscuits.
He walked out of the room, heading to the parlor. He grabbed the remote and then sat down to watch the ongoing TV program. It was still boring to him. He switched it off again and then walked outside of the house to receive fresh air.
He relaxed on the wall, still thinking which none glue what he was thinking about. He folded his arms, leaning on the wall.
Patricia couldn’t believe that he doesn’t even care to call him or visit him since Desmond left the hospital. A sharp pain crossed her heart. The phone she was holding to call him she has missed him, but it will be silly for her to call him instead of calling her. It’s obvious all men are the same; he was just a player just like Raymond. He’s the same. She kept moving up and down in the house, heading to nowhere in particular, but all her thought was on Desmond.
Desmond was well dressed in black jeans, trousers, and a white long sleeve shirt with a pair of glasses in his eyes, and the car key was jingling in his hands. He checked his wristwatch at every interval.
“Mike, let’s go. We’ll be late,” Desmond said, rechecking his time. Mike didn’t have a clue where he wanted to go. He insisted on him to follow him to where he wants to go. He emerged from the room, too, dressed in the same dress code as Desmond, which made them looked like twins. Without time wastage, they both head out of the room as they proceeded to the car garage.
” Patricia was not feeling well at all. She was burning. Her body temperature was so hot as she covered herself with a duvet. The worst part is that Angelina was not around to help her out. She was shivering. Just then, a knock sounded on the door. She wasn’t expecting anyone at that time.
“Who is there “? She asked, standing up, but no response came. The knock sounded again for the second time. Still, no voice came out. She began to tremble. She walked to the opened it, and there stood Desmond before her, his Prince Charming. Her heart melted, but she was furious at him. It’s so childish for him to abandon her for the past days.
“You don’t want me to come in “? Desmond asked, spreading his hands in the air as Patricia gave him space. He entered the house, scanning it.
“What are you doing here, Desmond “? Patricia asked, not looking at him.
“Why do you ask me such a question”? Desmond replied, taking off his glasses.
“Because I don’t think you know me, it’s up to two weeks now you left the hospital without checking nor calling to hear from me,” she said with a shaky voice, which tears were already formed in her eyes.
“It’s obvious your heart belongs to someone else. You just came to lie to me,” Patricia said, sniffing.
“You are right, Patricia, my heart beats for someone else, my heart belongs to someone else, and guess what? My heart is for Tessy ” Desmond dropped the bomb. She wished she didn’t hear him well, he just said it now that he’s in love with Tessy not her, he loves another not her, her heart was like failing her, her vision became blurry due to tears, her throat was dry instantly. She wished death should just come now, she wished she could just strangle him to death now.
She was backing Desmond hearing such from him was just like dying. She was burning in anger added to her health issue, the heartbreak, the time wasted, and her precious heart being destroyed.
” Desmond, I hate you right now. I hate everything in me.
You are a fool to play someone’s heart get out “! She shouted on top of her voice, screaming, turning around. She found Desmond on his knees with a sparkling ring in his hand. He was just looking directly into her eyes. Her voice heartbeat increased, her legs were weakened, her headache arrived, Desmond was just looking at him and what she saw she couldn’t believe it.
“Patricia, I can’t say much, but all I can say to round up everything is that you have changed my world, Patricia, you were there for me even when I have announced the death.
You stood by me. You loved me even when I didn’t tell you much about myself. You are the kind of woman I need. Please, Patricia, I love you, please will you marry me “? Mike asked, looking directly into her eyes. Patricia couldn’t believe that it’s the same Desmond once told him trash is now trying to say to him something else, or is it true?
Patricia kept mute without saying a word but felt her heart rate increasing. She looked at Desmond to see the sincerity in them.
“Please, Patricia, be my wife, ” Desmond asked again as Patricia’s eyes were moist with tears.
“Will you marry me please he asked again for the third time.
“Yes, Desmond, I will marry you,” she replied, covering her mouth with her hands. Desmond slide the ring into her finger, then stood up and embraced her as they both have a good time with each other.
“Why do you always like starting a serious business with a joke “? Patricia asked, smiling, and disengaging from her.
“Because you made me fell in love with jokingly,” he replied as Patricia laughed out loud and hit him on the shoulder.
“I love you, dear, but you almost make me faint.”
“I love you more, my angel,” he replied, giggling.
Jerold finally engaged Tessy too, but for Mike, he didn’t find his true love yet until she later discovered that Angelina Patricia’s fiend was the best choice for him. Mike and Angelina became unexpected lovers, and honestly, they were all “TRAPPED BY LOVE.”
