2025-06-24 00:50:18Abel Scott was immediately shocked as he stared at the phone in his hand.
“Who is this?” He asked again,this time a little bit lower than before.
“You mean you don't recognize my voice Mr Abel Scott?”
“Wait a minute, Mr Jackson Alfred, is that really you?!” Abel Scott immediately asked as he realised that the caller was actually Mr Jackson Alfred.
“What the heck!”
“Why are you sounding like that?” Abel Scott immediately asked.
“Lord Abel Scott, I'm really sorry I had the voice distortion device on as I just finished talking to one of my most valuable intel on your dad's sudden disappearance and death.”
“I'm really sorry about that!” Mr Jackson Alfred immediately pleaded from the other end of the phone.
“Okay, fine, please turn it off, it's kind of buzzy at the moment.” Abel Scott immediately said.
“So what were you talking about when you said you have found a way to make Sarah Lawrence see again?”
“I mean the doctors from the best hospitals in and around the country had actually looked at my wife's condition and they had all said that she can't be fixed.”
“Do you happen to also be a medical doctor, Mr Jackson Alfred?” Abel Scott asked as he gazed at the door just to make sure no one was eavesdropping on his conversation.
Cough! Cough!! Cough!!!
“Lord Abel Scott, I'm actually not a medical doctor, at least not yet, but the Scott family has a medical doctor who I still believe is on your dad's side.”
“Not everyone currently in the Scott's family is in total support of what Lord Ammon Vandel is currently doing in the Scott family at the moment.”
“His name is Doctor Philip, I believe he will have the medical skills required to actually make Sarah Lawrence, your wife, see once again.” Mr Jackson Alfred said as he exhaled slowly from the other end of the phone.
“Mr Philip, you say?”
“Why does that name sound familiar?” Abel Scott immediately said.
“Most probably because you remember him as the doctor who looked after your grandfather, Lord Renes Scott.”
“He is a good man and I believe that if I talk to him about Sarah Lawrence's condition he might be willing to at least see her and help her out.”
“Mr Jackson Alfred, I'm not sure about this, I would really love it if we don't get any more of my family into this…”
“But Lord Abel, Doctor Philip isn't family, he is just the family doctor and I can vouch that he can and will keep anything he hears or sees a secret.”
“I know him, he isn't like Marvin who betrayed us the last time.”
“We just have to give him a try, at least for Sarah's sake.” Mr Jackson Alfred said, his voice was laced with persuasion.
“Mr Jackson Alfred, this is a risky one…” Abel Scott said as he stared into the open sky.
“For Sarah's sake I will allow that to happen.”
“Sarah Lawrence has really given up a lot just to save me.”
“I bet even if she finally gets her eyes fixed, she still wouldn't recognize me as the man that she had saved that night.” Abel Scott said as he walked towards the door.
“Mr Abel, you really don't need to tell her who you are, at least not yet.”
“The lesser your wife and everyone you care about knows about your past and your family the better for everyone.”
“We can't afford to put your wife and her mother in more danger, she is already in a big danger for saving you from the morgue that night.”
“If Lord Ammon finds out what really happened, he would definitely be bringing all hell on the Lawrence's family.” Mr Jackson Alfred said, his voice was laced with caution.
“Yes, you are right Mr Jackson Alfred, I will do exactly as you have said, but first I would like you to call Doctor Philip and book an appointment with him immediately.”
“I can't wait to break the good news to my wife and Mrs Elena Lawrence.”
“I will do exactly that, Lord Abel Scott.” Mr Jackson Alfred said.
“I will be expecting the necessary feedback by tomorrow morning.” With that said, Abel Scott immediately ended the call and raced back inside.
“Sarah, I have some good news!”
“I think I might have found a way to make you see again!”
Mrs Elena Lawrence immediately stood up, “What is actually wrong with you, Abel?!”
“You keep bringing up this issue about my daughter's blindness, I have warned you to let it go!”
“Let it go for crying out loud!” Mrs Elena Lawrence said as she stared at Abel Scott angrily.
“Calm down, Elena, let Abel talk.”
“I have a feeling that he might finally have answers to fix Sarah's blindness.” Mr Zack Lawrence said from his wheelchair.
“Abel, how do you propose we fix my daughter's blindness?”

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
All Sarah Lawrence saw was a shining light and then everything became pitch black accompanied with searing pain.“My eyes! What the hell; my eyes” Sarah Lawrence dropped to her knees, clawing at her cheeks trying to take off the pain she felt.Sarah Lawrence stretched her hands forward, blindly reaching for something; anything that could make the pain stop while the liquid burned deeper. Bang! Sarah Lawrence could only hear muffled sounds from the blow one of the gang members left on her face. Five men who stood over six feet entered the apartment, Their faces were covered and the word PRAY tattooed on their neck. “What’s going on, Sarah?” “Who are these people,Sarah?” Elena Lawrence asked, moving towards the door. One of the men with a hand as large as an elephant trunk jacked Elena Lawrence up by her shirt and threw her like a rag doll.“Ah!” Elena Lawrence screamed her back landing on the television screen and her face stumbling first into the center table in the living room
CHAPTER TWELVE
“Abel, breakfast is ready” Sarah’s voice echoed through the house.“I’m coming,” Abel Scott replied. He crossed the tie on his neck to the right, to form a knot. Then he moved it back and back to the right. He was confused on what way to go. Abel Scot sighed, dragging the tie off his neck. “I guess that is it” “Abel” Sarah called again from the living room. “Your food is going to get cold” Abel looked at the ceiling pleading for some invention of some sort. “I will be there shortly”“Hmmm..” Abel Scott took a slow breath as he walked into the living room, letting the warm aroma fill his lungs. “Is that scrambled eggs and toasted bread I perceive?” He asked.“Oh yes, coupled with the faint aroma of fresh coffee.” Sarah Lawrence added, a warm gently spreading across her face. “Oh! My favorite” Abel Scott said, dragging the chair to sit down. Abel Scott grabbed a fork and shoveled clumps of the scrambled eggs into his mouth, barely chewing, he grabbed the toasted bread and ripped it
CHAPTER ELEVEN
The apartment was not like the mansion but it was comfortable. Cracked sidewalks snaked through weedy grass. Most of the building's paint was falling apart and sagging roofs moving like they were tired of standing. A rusting mini van with two Missing wheels sat as a permanent fixture beside the curb. The sun peeped through the windows of the apartment casting golden stripes on the little desk that now serves as desk and dinner for Abel Scott and his family at the apartment. He stares blankly into the laptop screen sitting comfortably on the desk as he prepares his resume. “What are you doing,darling?” Sarah Lawrence asked, running her fingers through Abel Scott’s hair.“I’m preparing a resume and cover letter for my application.” Abel Scott said. “Wow that’s amazing, babe!” Sarah Lawrence was elated. She bent over to plant a kiss on Abel Scott's cheeks. “What role are you applying for, darling?” Sarah Lawrence enquired.“I’m writing to express my interest in the Warehouse Supervis
CHAPTER TEN
“What!”“Mum, what is it?” Sarah Lawrence asked. Every eye in the hospital lobby now fixated on Elena Lawrence.Elena Lawrence stood still, her eyes wide open. Finally shaking off the shock, she whispered “The mansion is on fire”“What mansion?” “Mr Schmidt mansion!”“I can’t believe this, why do bad things keep happening to us?”Abel Scott Excused himself to answer his ringing phone. It was Mr Jackson Alfred calling to give him a report on the situation. Elena Lawrence gave Abel Scott an angry stare. “Hello, Hello! Elena are you there” Mr Zack Lawrence's voice echoed through the phone. “Yes, my love. I’m with you.”“What do we do now?” Elena Lawrence asked her husband “Stay where you are, Mr Jackson Alfred and I are coming to pick you guys up”Elena Lawrence cuts the call and lets out a long, weary sigh. “This is really sad”“Where is that good for nothing man called Abel Scott?” Elena Lawrence eyes scanning through the lobby like a vicious dog.“Abel Scott can never be relied u
CHAPTER NINE
Six hours later…Abel Scott and Mrs Elena Lawrence are still waiting for the doctor's response in the other ward as the surgery proceeds.“Abel, do you in any way know how we can be able to get access to this Mr Schmidt?” Mrs Elena Lawrence asked as she stared at the clock on the wall.“I'm really sorry Mrs Elena Lawrence, why would you assume that I would know of Mr Schmidt's whereabouts?”“I really don't know anything about Mr Schmidt.”“I know you don't, but what of Mr Jackson Alfred, the one who for God knows why lied to us that his Mr Thomas Wilson?”“If you can at least talk to him and get him to maybe book an appointment with Mr Schmidt for us, that would be really great.”“We need to find out who Mr Schmidt is and why he is helping Sarah Lawrence, my daughter.” Mrs Elena Lawrence said as she faked a smile towards Abel Scott.“Mrs Elena, I don't think that would be a great idea, Mr Jackson Alfred is a very busy man, and I don't think he can even help us get across to Mr Schmidt
CHAPTER EIGHT
“Abel, how do you propose we fix my daughter's blindness?” Mr Zack Lawrence immediately asked.“Well a friend of mine, who happens to be a medical doctor, has offered to help us fix Sarah's blindness.”“I know it's a lot to take in, I know you people have actually tried a lot of doctors, but my intel has assured me that Doctor Philip really knows how to fix Sarah.”“Your intel?” Mrs Elena Lawrence asked, her eyebrows furrowed in a show of curiosity and bewilderment.“I meant my friend who is a doctor, he can fix Sarah.”“I have already booked an appointment at his office tomorrow morning.” Abel Scott said as he gazed at Mr Zack Lawrence, his father-in-law.“Very well, Abel, I will permit you to take my daughter for the twentieth hospital check since she got her eyes damaged.”“Wait a minute, do you actually keep tabs on that, dad?” Sarah Lawrence immediately asked as she stared at her dad's direction even though she was blind.“Yes, Sarah, I have actually been keeping tabs on a lot o
