CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE The next morning, Clinton was set to head out, but an early visitor was knocking on his door.He had wanted to ignore it since it was too early, but the knock persisted, and it was very difficult for him to ignore.Eager to find out who it was, Clinton walked to the door and grabbed the handle slowly. But he had to make sure that there was only one person at the door by checking through the peephole."Doctor Col? What are you doing here so early?” He asked as soon as he opened the door, but the Doctor was still trying to get a grip on himself after he had run for a long time.“Forgive me for barging in on you so early, Doctor Clinton! But this is very urgent!” Col sighed heavily, and when that wasn’t still enough he took in a deep breath which he let out slowly.“Is everything okay? How is my uncle?” Clinton could tell that something was wrong, but he was not prepared for the worst news.“You have to come with me right now! Your uncle is no longer breathing!”“What?

CHAPTER SIXTY-TWOClinton had to continue on foot since there was not enough space for his car to fit.The gate was wide open, but no one had ever been brave enough to go into the abode of the Dukes.Clinton could see the castle that looked like an ancient temple. Everything but the paint was still intact, making it almost impossible to tell if the castle was the same as the leaves that were growing around it, or if it was never painted but allowed to stand tall in the middle of nowhere.Clinton’s steps were calculated. He could never take any chances since it looked like there could be traps ahead of him.He wasn’t certain, but it seemed like he saw someone peeping at him from one of the windows up high in the castle. But he continued walking, determined to get what he wanted.Just a few meters away from the castle, he heard a creaking sound that made him look. The wooden door was opened from the inside, and the dust that flew to the sky was evidence of how long the doors had been sh

CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE Lord Zackl allowed the silence in the large room to linger for so long, but Clinton didn’t have all the time in the world.“Lord Zackl?”“Don’t be in a hurry, Clinton. I have a lot of things that I want you to do for me.” Lord Zackl sniggered at Clinton, who didn’t have any other choice but to remain silent while he waited to hear what he was going to say.Clinton’s eyes went to the wristwatch he was putting on, and he could see that he had spent more than an hour there without being able to achieve anything.If not, he was certain that Col was right about the two herbs being there, he would have concluded that the old man was trying to play games with him.“There are two things that I want you to do for me, and I shall give you the five herbs of vitality. I know about your uncle’s health, he was my friend, remember?”Clinton sighed. He could have thought that Lord Zackl didn’t know the reason why he wanted the herbs, and it could have been better if it remained a

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOURClinton struggled with the urge to go after the old man because he knew that it could lead him to revealing a secret he promised to take to his grave, but his uncle’s life was at stake, and it was either he played along or lost his only family member.He was forced to take a step after them, and then the second, the third, before he started marching faster to catch up with them.Lord Zackl walked very fast until his energy could no longer carry him, and he was forced to slow down, causing his guards to catch up with him.Clinton kept a little distance of caution, observing as they walked through a hidden tunnel that led them into a secret room.The old man opened the door to the room with a large key hanging on his neck, and then he went in with just Clinton while the guards stood at the door waiting.“I am sure you can identify the herbs when you see them.” Lord Zackl gestured to Clinton who began to look around the secret room while he kept his eyes wide open.The

CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVEIt was finally time to wait to see if there was going to be any effect from the herbs, and Clinton stood beside the old man together with Col, who was anxious as well.He couldn’t stop listening to the sound of his heartbeat as he prayed hard that the herb was going to work.“Please work.” He said silently, but there was no change.The old man remained the way he was, plain and pale with his eyes tightly shut and his veins popping out.“I thought it was supposed to do something,” Col said, but even Clinton was as disappointed as he was.“Maybe I didn’t give him enough.” Clinton grabbed the plate and started making another portion from the herbs he took from Lord Zackl.He was so focused on what he was doing that he didn’t realize what was going on behind him.“Doctor Clinton?! Look!” Col called his attention, and he turned to see that his uncle’s eyes were wide open.He left what he was doing and quickly moved to the man. “Uncle?! Can you hear me?!” He grabbed the o

CHAPTER SIXTY-SIXThe old lady was still shaky, and she grabbed the handle of her door, getting ready to run into the house.“Uncle is alive,” Clinton said calmly, and the old lady returned her gaze to him.“That’s a lie.” She said, but the look on Clinton’s face was something she couldn’t ignore even if she wanted to.“No! That’s not possible! He died! I saw him! They told me he was never going to wake up again.”“He is alive, Lady Dorathy, and I can prove it to you.” Clinton sounded very certain of everything he said, but the old lady didn’t seem to believe him.“I know that this is very difficult for you to believe, but it’s the truth. Uncle Edmund is alive.”“No! He is dead! I saw him!” The old lady said with tears falling from her eyes. “Why have you suddenly come to remind me of the past?! You should have stayed where you were! Go away!” Lady Dorathy was scared of being seen with Clinton, and he was wondering why she was on the lookout.“Uncle Edmund is alive, Aunty. That’s the

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVENCol stood by the corner watching as the old lady slowly walked to Clinton’s uncle. She couldn’t believe that he was the one lying on the bed with his eyes open.“It’s okay, Col. She is with me.” Clinton gestured to Col as soon as he saw that he was about to stop Lady Dorathy from going near her husband.“Edmund? Is this you?” Lady Dorathy slowly touched her husband, but even though his eyes were open, he didn’t give her any response.“Eddie?” She called out to him again with tears slowly dropping from her eyes. But there was no response from the old man, and she turned to face Clinton for an explanation.“I am working on finding a permanent cure for him, Aunty. You don’t need to be worried, he is going to be fine.” Clinton said with an assuring tone, but the old lady was still worried about her husband.“Why isn’t he saying anything? Eddie? Can you hear me?!” She shook him countlessly, believing that he was supposed to be awake since his eyes were open, but the ol

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHTFor a moment, Clinton waited for Rachael to say something else, but it became obvious that she meant the words she said earlier.“You are serious?” He asked, but she was too embarrassed to admit it.Clinton left her standing and moved to shut the door. Then he sat down on the same couch he was sitting on when she knocked.Rachael stared at him for a while. She thought he was going to speak to her, but it turned out that he was busy with what he was doing before she came.“Aren’t you going to ask me why I am here?”“You can as well say it or you leave, Rachael. The choice is yours.” Clinton was very cold with his response, and Rachael was taken aback.For a moment she stood still, but when she saw that Clinton was not going to give her any attention she moved and sat down beside him.“My company needs help, Clinton.” She said with a forced tone, and then she bent her face to the ground.She never thought that there was going to be a time when she was going to ask th

CHAPTER SIXTY-NINEClinton was very eager to help, but the man didn’t look like he was willing to continue living.“You don’t have to try, Clinton. I am tired of everything already.” Lord Caleb said with a low tone, but Rachael didn’t want to hear that.“Don’t listen to him, Clinton! Help us!” She cried, making sure that she was persistent and loud enough to conSethClinton to help.“You heard her, Lord Caleb. I must do what she wants. You must also accept to get better for her sake.” Clinton’s mind was made up, and the old man could see that as well.“Fine, do it.” Lord Caleb nodded reluctantly, and then he sighed.“Very good. Now let’s look at what’s wrong with your chest.” Clinton began to examine the old men, and then he took his hands off them after a while.“What’s wrong?” Lord Caleb asked, and Rachael drew closer to find out why Clinton had suddenly stopped what he was doing.“He has been poisoned.” He said, causing Rachael to gasp.“What?! That’s not possible! Who would dare?!”

CHAPTER SEVENTYClinton sighed. He knew that he had no other choice but to repeat what he said earlier, but in clearer language.“What I wanted to say was that we will have to burn it out of him by placing something hot on his chest and letting it burn. That’s the only way.”“No way! Do you want to kill him?!” Rachael fired in disagreement, but Clinton still maintained his words.“That’s the only way. I wish there was another way.” He said to the old man who was already scared before he could do what he said.“Who made you a Doctor?” A female voice said from the back, and everyone turned to see Lady Selene walking into the room.She had been listening to all their conversations and waiting for the right time to go on.“I always knew that you had evil intentions for all of us. You want to kill Lord Caleb so that you can inherit everything he has. That’s not going to happen!” Lady Selene fired in annoyance.Clinton scoffed. “That’s very funny.” He said with a smirk on his face, but the
