CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE “Why really are you here? To get me in more trouble?” Alex asked with a tune that was louder than his calm voice, suddenly he was vexed up as was evident in his voice. “Oh no Alex ! Not at all! Why would I even think of that? You saved my father’s life the last time and it would be unfair of me to repay good with evil.” Tiara said making a face with the intention of letting Alex know how honest she really was. “So what do you want from me?” Alex asked sigh a feigned ignorance of what really brought Tiara to him. The memories of the lash encounter were still fresh. “I want you to follow me back home to help my family members Alex . The same illness has besieged them and I think you are the only one who can be of help to them.” Tiara said with her eyes weakened from the pain that clouded her mind. “I am not sure I can go with you Tiara. I have an unfinished business, besides you have Doctor Andrew. He seems to have very capable hands. Very capable hands!” Alex

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE Getting to the Harrison Villa, the automated gate opened gradually and allowed the driver to wheel in the white Porsche, then he parked right in front of the exquisite mansion screaming millions of dollars. “Welcome again to our Villa.” Tiara said but Alex only responded with a smile as he got down from the car. “This way please.” She said slowly pointing towards the door that led to the entrance of the building. Alex followed her as they walked in. He obviously had been in the house before, but for some reason he wasn’t so mindful of the exorbitant chandeliers hanging at different angles of the roof. Their dazzling colors shun brightly with the reflections from the light inside, giving the room a spectacular outlook. It was a sight to behold. Soon they got to a door guarded by another set of body guards who stood motionless at first, but the moment they saw Tiara approaching with Alex , they slightly bowed to her and one of them pushed the door in to open

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE “May I?” Alex asked requesting to start with her mother. Tiara walked away from the side of the bed, allowing Alex to walk through. Just a look at the poor woman, Alex bent over and checked her pulses, then he looked at Jane and then at Kelvin. “These are similar symptoms to yours Mr Newton. I fear this could be manipulated. There is only one way to find out and I must get to the bottom of this.” Tiara turned to her father and both of them expressed deep shock at what Alex said, no words came out of their mouths but their eyes said a million words. Gently, Alex took a spoonful of the blackish mixture and with his hand, took a little quantity which he dipped into Chloe’s nostrils and mouth. As he was doing his work, Tiara and her father drew much closer to observe what he was up to. For a moment, they failed to realize that the substance had a foul odor that oozed all over the place. “Why does it smell so bad?” Tiara asked making a disgusted face. Her father

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN Alex sighed slowly, then he picked up the mortar and headed over to Jane in a slow but steady voice. As he moved, gradually Mr Newton changed his attention to his daughter. Alex also took a spoonful of the substance in the mortar, and just as he had done to Chloe, he applied some on Jane’s nostrils and also in her mouth, then he stood up and went towards Kelvin. He also did the same to him, then he went back to the table where his properties were and kept the mortar with the instrument that looked like a pair of forceps on the table. Carefully, he unfolded the white napkin to reveal the area that he had used to wipe the blood that came out of Chloe’s ears. As he gazed upon it, his eyes widened, then he pushed the napkin upwards to his nose and sniffed slowly, the reaction on his face was not normal. “They are still not cures Alex. Please come!” Mr Newton said aloud now standing close to Jane’s bed. Alex was clearly upset at the man’s impatience, but he raised

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE Tiara turned around and looked at her father with an expression that indicated that she wasn’t sure of his reaction to her demand. “What is it Tiara, you seem really worried?” Mr Newton asked his daughter seeing the worrisome look on her face. “Yes, Tiara dear. Why do you look so worried? What did he say to you?” Chloe asked her raising her head up a bit from the pillow. Tiara walked up to her father and stood right in front of him. “Is everything ok Tiara? Why do you look so worried? We all should he happy for the remarkable thing that has happened today. Do away with the dull face.” Mr Newton said to his daughter standing up from the bed. “Dad? There is something I have to tell you.” Tiara said slowly and in a voice a little above a whisper. Her eyes blinked severally as she tried to avoid her father’s gaze. The rest of the family members looked at Tiara with deep expectations written on their faces. “What is it, Tiara? Talk to us.” Chloe urged her daughte
