CHAPTER FORTY-TWOThey got into the room and just at the end of the corner of the room were three people on three beds covered with immaculate bedspreads in the room, the room was dimly lit and the long golden embroidered curtains properly covered the windows.Three female servants dressed in their work outfits stood beside each of the white beds ready to give attention to any of the persons on the bed.“I thought I specifically told you that I didn’t want to see this fellow here. I am out of here.” Richard barked at the sight of Dr Moses and made his way to leave but the door was already shut and could only be opened from the outside.“Please Richard wait I beg you.” Kelly pleaded, drawing him back by his left Zackd.“But I told you didn’t I?” He retorted with an obviously angry face.“There was nothing I could do at the moment, I couldn’t find you, we had to get Dr Moses to Zackdle things just before I found you. I beg you, please don’t go!” Kelly pleaded with a shaky and pitiful vo

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR“These are ordinary items that have extraordinary effects on cases such as this. They may appear ordinary but not in the Hands of a healer.” Richard said, then he raised one of the bottles and showed it to Mr Cruzes.“This is Coconut Kefir, it helps to create more openings for the poison to easily be extracted.”“This is ginger but from Africa, these are bitter kolas, they help stabilize the blood pressure. This is segmented tobacco, this is citrus liquid, you already know what this is. Do I really have to explain all these or should I continue with trying to cure your family members?” Richard asked suddenly realizing that he had wasted a lot of time explaining some of the items on the table.“Please! Carry on.” Mr Cruzes said and shifted the way.Richard slowly lifted the mortar and moved with it towards the beds. As soon as Kelly saw him approaching, she stood up and wiped the tears in her eyes.“May I?” Richard asked requesting to start with her mother.Kelly wal

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX“Yes please! Forgive my attitude earlier on. I was really not wrong for doubting you. Please help us.” Mr Lucas pleaded with the urge to either get rid of his pride or let it ruin him.“Very well, I hope we have an understanding that once I am done, I get what we bargained for.”“Definitely! That won’t be a problem.” Mr Lucas replied still not aware of what was involved. He looked at Kelly, but she was all over her mother, looking to see if she needed anything.Richard sighed slowly, then he picked up the mortar and headed over to Stella in a slow but steady voice. As he moved, gradually Mr Lucas changed his attention to his daughter.Richard also took a spoonful of the substance in the mortar, and just as he had done to Kelly, he applied some on Stella’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 lik

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT“Thank you!” He said surprisingly to the amazement of Richard who responded with a smile. Then he extended his hand to the bedspread and scooped some of the blood with his fingers. With his fingers rubbing hard on the blood, he observed the blood and sighed in satisfaction.“Kelvin? Kelvin are you alright?” Kelly asked, straining from her bed to look at her son who seemed rather quiet and didn’t move.“Yeah I am fine.” Kelvin responded without recognizing the voice that had spoken to him. Gradually, he turned to see who it was as the voice sounded faint but familiar.“Mum? What is going on here? Kelly? Dad?” He said blinking his eyes gradually as a result of the blurry vision he had.“Rest son, everything would be explained to you later.” Mr Lucas said to his son still holding on to Stella’s hand tenderly caressing it.“Oh Richard! Thank you very much! I am super grateful, my family and I would forever be indebted to you!” Kelly said as she got up and embraced Rich

CHAPTER FIFTY“Do you think the Patron could have any business with this man?” Said one of the guards standing at a corner right in front of the building.“Nonsense! Arrant nonsense! How can you even compose such thought in your head. Have you seen the patron? Even the greatest of men in the city are afraid to speak to her.” The guests standing next to him retorted, he seemed upset with what his partner said.“Then why was she running him?”“You can as well go and as her or maybe wait till she is done talking so that you don’t appear rude.” He said again in response to his partners question, then he turned his gaze towards his left away from the duo and walked away leaving his partner speechless.“Please Richard, you don’t have to leave this way.”“No need to apologize Miss Kelly, I understand that your father doesn’t see the need to give out your family heirloom to someone like me.” Richard said after a few seconds.“Someone like you? Do you think so lowly of yourself too?” Kelly sai
