Abel Scott, Back from the Dead.

CHAPTER FOUR

“Pick up the phone, Mr Jackson.”Abel Scott said as he gazed at his watch.

“It's still early, Mr Jackson, you better not be asleep by this time of the night.”

Just then the phone was answered.

“Lord Abel, it's night already, is there an issue?” Mr Jackson Alfred asked as he stared at his alarm clock.

“Yes, what do you know about Mr Zack Lawrence's health?” Abel Scott immediately asked.

“Well, I don't know that much, but I believe he just had a surgery and he is currently up for discharge but his family hasn't been able to come up with the payment.” Mr Jackson Alfred said.

“Well, that's why I called, I will be needing one of the Scott's family Elite cards tomorrow morning.”

“I will be using it to help Sarah pay for her dad's bills tomorrow morning.” Abel Scott immediately demanded.

“That wouldn't be an issue at all. I will be there in the morning.” Mr Jackson Alfred said.

“How much does one of those exclusive cards hold again?” Abel Scott asked.

“Well before your dad's sudden and unexpected death, he made so few modifications to one of the cards to hold at least twenty billion dollars in cash and an unlimited access to funds should the spending limit ever get exhausted.”

“That's how powerful Mr Andrew Scott was and that is exactly why I'm hell bent on finding his killers no matter what.”

“I will be at the villa in the morning.” Mr Jackson Alfred added.

“Okay, I actually didn't know much about my dad or his business empires but I'm really glad you are here by my side.”

“Tomorrow morning, please don't be late.” Abel Scott said as he dropped the call.

…

The next morning, Mr Jackson Alfred dropped off one of the Scott family elite cards to Abel Scott.

Moments later, Abel Scott, Mrs Elena Lawrence and Sarah Lawrence are headed off to the hospital.

“Taxi, Abel, can you help us flag down the taxi?” Mrs Elena Lawrence asked.

Abel Scott immediately called the taxi and off they went to the local hospital where Mr Zack Lawrence was admitted.

The hospital was a six storey building with reinforced sound proof glasses.

Immediately Abel Scott, Sarah Lawrence and Mrs Elena Lawrence entered the main complex of the hospital, they were met with a rather unwelcoming presence.

The owner of the hospital, Mr Jerry Jefferson was seated in front of the receptionist desk.

“Excuse me, Mrs Elena Lawrence!”

“Good day Mrs Elena Lawrence, we have been waiting for your compliance!”

“This is a privately funded hospital and we don't tolerate such inconsistent promises on payment!”

“The only reason why we allowed your husband, Mr Zack Lawrence to get his surgery done is simply because I know your family very well!”

“Be it as it may, you and your daughter were supposed to make a down payment of at least five hundred thousand dollars before we begin his surgery!”

“Now do you have the money or are we going to medically reverse all we did to him?!” Mr Jerry's voice was laced with a mix of anger and determination.

Everyone knew Mr Jerry as a ruthless man, his family controlled almost everything in the Pharmaceutical industry in South Rise City and in the whole country.

“Answer me before I go myself and send your husband back to his death bed?!”

Sarah Lawrence immediately fell to the ground, her walking stick making a clattering sound as it fell off her hand.

“Mr Jerry, please you don't have to do this at all, we will go and find the money, please don't let my father die!” Sarah Lawrence immediately pleaded.

“Mr Jerry, we promise to get the complete three million dollars as soon as possible, please can you just give us more time? We promise to get it.”

“Mr Jerry, please!” Mrs Elena Lawrence begged as she joined her daughter Sarah Lawrence on the floor.

“I have already had it with your family, you and your daughter are nothing but a disgrace to the whole of Lawrence's family!”

“I mean look at you, you can't come up with just three million dollars for your husband's treatment!”

“I even made an offer to you Mrs Elena Lawrence in exchange for your husband's treatment but you refused!” Mr Jerry wasn't just influential and ruthless, he was also a promiscuous pervert.

“I would have asked for your daughter to spend the night with me in exchange for her dad's hospital bills, but she is blind!”

“How the heck is she going to find her way to my hotel room?!” Mr Jerry said jokefully as he openly made a mockery of Sarah Lawrence's health condition.

“Yeah, she should now be called the blind damsel or the blind beauty!” One of the female nurses who had been sleeping around with Mr Jerry immediately added as they all bursted into laughter.

Abel Scott immediately stared at her name tag and it bore the name Nurse Sabrina.

“Even better she could get knocked over by a van and the newspaper will carry the headline; Beautiful blind hook-up lady struck down by a blind truck driver!” A male nurse by name Fredrik immediately added from behind causing the whole hospital ward to burst into an uncontrollable laughter.

“Mr Jerry, you are a shameless pervert!”

“Why do you want to sleep with me or my daughter before you let my husband out of your hospital?!”

“This is so bad of you, and you Nurse Sabrina and Nurse Fredrik, I'm really disappointed in you all!” Mrs Elena Lawrence yelled into the face of Mr Jerry.

Immediately Mr Jerry moved over and delivered a resounding slap to the face of Mrs Elena Lawrence sending her reeling backwards and forwards a rare ceramic statue behind her.

The ceramic statue came heaving down to the floor as Mrs Elena Lawrence crashed into it.

“Mom! What have you done to my mom?!”

“You animal, what did you do to my mother?!” Sarah Lawrence yelled as she crawled towards the direction of the ceramic wreckage.

“You little bastard!”

“You should have been the pride of your family but you stupidly decided to waste such perfect beauty on a man convicted of murdering his family!” Mr Jerry yelled in anger.

Just as he walked over to Sarah Lawrence as she crawled towards her mother, to deliver a deadly kick to her mid section, Abel Scott immediately caught him by his legs and deliver a deep low blow to his balls.

“Oh my god!!!” 

Mr Jerry immediately screamed as the all excruciating pain moved through his body almost paralyzing him.

“Who are…you?!” 

“What!!!” Mr Jerry screamed as he reeled into the ground but was held by Nurse Sabrina.

“Oh my goodness! Someone call me the security immediately!” Nurse Sabrina yelled at her colleagues.

“What is the meaning of this?!”

“Who are you and do you have a death wish?!”

“Do you actually realize what it is you have just done?!” Nurse Fredrik immediately asked as he clenched his first in vexation.

The situation was intense and palpable as Abel Scott just stared at Mr Jerry as he wailed in pain.

“I'm Sarah Lawrence's husband, how dare you animal lay your pervert hands on her?!” Abel Scott immediately asked as he shielded Sarah Lawrence and Mrs Elena Lawrence from any further harm.

“Help me up now!” Mr Jerry immediately yelled and he was immediately helped up to his feet by Nurse Sabrina and Nurse Fredrik.

“Wait are you the worthless Son-in-law of Lady Natasha Lawrence?!”

“Why do you look so different from the man I recognized that married this worthless trash?!” Mr Jerry asked as he pointed at Sarah Lawrence.

“No need to answer that! How dare you attack me, do you really want to be sent to a watery grave?!”

“Do you really want to test my wrath?”

“I bet you are new in town, aren't you?!”

“Because if you had been in this town for a long time, you would know that I'm the first heir to the wealthy and influential family of the Jefferson's family!”

“You dare not mess with anyone from the Jefferson's family and go free not on this planet and not on any other planet if that stupid law of the multiverse was actually true!” Mr Jeffrey Jefferson immediately bragged.

“Hey! I don't know what your name is and I really don't care!”

“Mr Jerry Jefferson, this animal just disrespected you and Lord Jefferson!”

“You shouldn't allow him to go free, not at all!”

“This man has to pay dearly for his insults to you and the whole family of the Jeffersons!”

“I would suggest, he goes on his stupid knees and beg for mercy!”

“That should be the only valid criteria for this animal, his worthless wife and mother-in-law to leave here in peace!” Nurse Sabrina said, her voice was cold and detached.
