There was instant silence, and everyone paid keen attention just to know what he was about to say.“There is a bit of a situation that needs your urgent attention, Dad…” Justin continued, and then he turned to look at Kai just to be sure he was listening, holding onto his wry smile.“I am not alright, Dad. Something terrible has happened to me…” Justin responded to the deep tone that could be heard silently through the speakers of the phone he was holding.Suddenly, the sinister smile on his face had vanished, replaced by a lingering gloom that almost made everyone believe that he was about to cry.“I was hit by a careless driver, Dad!” He cried out, and then he sniffled as though he had been shedding tears for a very long time.“I need you to send some of your men at once, Dad! The driver is about to get away, and my friends and I are traumatized right now! We barely made it out of the car alive…” Justin nodded as soon as he was done talking, and listening to his father’s reaction fr

CHAPTER THIRTEENThe police men stared at each other, and realizing that none of them had any answer to Kai’s question, they turned to face the Lieutenant who inched three steps forward, staring sternly at Kai.“Are you trying to resist arrest, Mister?” Smith asked with a low but deep tone, glaring at Kai.He waited for a while, but when it became very obvious that Kai was not going to give him any response, he grunted, almost getting frustration added to his annoyance.“You will only be making this more difficult for yourself, young man. You have not realized the kind of trouble you are in…”Kai scoffed, and then he turned to glance at Justin and his friends without getting rid of the wry smile etched all over his face.He could see that they were running out of patience while waiting for the policemen to carry out the order of the Police Chief with Justin seeming like he was about to do something by himself.“Kai cleared his throat, returning his gaze to the lieutenant while his smi

CHAPTER FIFTEENKai found himself in one of the most expensive restaurants in the City.Certainly, he had doubts, but the additional fifty million dollars in his account gave him a little courage.“I hope you know what you are doing, Kai…” He whispered to himself as he marched into the dining hall.Already, he was getting very disdainful looks from some of the other customers in the restaurant, and before long, a waitress approached him, eyes glaring with contempt.“You shouldn’t be here, mister…” She rolled her eyes at him, already profiling him as a nobody and undeserving of being in that kind of place.Kai took a deep breath. “That’s a very wrong thing to say to a customer.” He was calm, but the waitress insisted on her peskiness.“I am going to call my manager right now!” She left in a hurry while Kai watched her silently.Their little verbal exchange had drawn the attention of some of the customers, and they began to wonder how such a scruffy-looking fellow was allowed into the r

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN The men wasted no time in jumping at the opportunity of making extra money.Kai returned the car keys to them, and they got into the cars, ready to take them for a last ride.He turned to the waitress with a scowl. “I hope you have learned how not to treat people based on their appearances. Have a nice night.”She walked away shamefully, staggering back to the restaurant.Kai got into the Rolls-Royce and instructed the previous owner to drive.The other man wheeled behind in the Maybach, and as soon as they arrived at Silver-line hospital, Kai alighted from the car.His steps quickened as he made his way to the ward at the right end of the hallway.But to his dismay, the room was empty.His heartbeat increased. “Where is my Sister?” He muttered, but there was no one to give him an answer.Quickly, he walked to the reception, struggling to catch his breath.“Excuse me, please.” He waved at the nurses at the reception, but they were busy with whatever they were doing

CHAPTER NINETEENKai checked the time on the clock hanging on the wall above his head, and realizing that it was almost a minute passed 11: pm, he panicked.“Shit! How didn’t I know that there was little time left?!”With his heart beating faster, and the desire not to die gripping him tightly, he hurried toward the hallway by his right.Lara and two other Doctors were wheeling his Sister into the theater for her operation. “I have to go, Doctor Ryan.” He said to Lara, but she couldn’t understand why he was suddenly leaving at that moment.“Why? We are about to start. What if she asks about you?”“Tell her I will be back tomorrow.” Kai grabbed both hands of the middle-aged lady lying comatose on the stretcher with an oxygen mask covering her face.As the wheels of the stretcher rolled hurriedly, he moved his feet in a hurry.“You will be fine, Sister.” He planted a kiss on her forehead, then he let go of her, watching as she was wheeled into the theater.As he made his way out of the
