It was unclear to the family why the doctor would go to that length to avoid answering a question; they knew it was either because he wasnt meant to be using that drug, and now that he was caught, there was no other way for him to get himself out of it, so he decided that his death would be the only way. Saint stood over the dead body, staring at it. He knew that it was deeper than anyone aside from Rhys would understand, and they were not dealing with something that should be seen as normal. ‘Is it possible that he was trying to test the new effects on this man?’ The thought crossed his mind, but then how was he able to get something that dangerous, and why was he trying to get it down there, and how was he able to use it? Rhys walked slowly to Saint, standing right behind him. It was unclear what was happening at the moment since everyone there was still stunned to see the doctor take his own life like that, and they were all thinking that it was normal. “I dont know who he was

After hearing the old man cough, he knew that there wasnt going to be a chance for him to even think of keeping his head there. He was waiting for the right moment so he could walk away and not be seen. "Grandpa!" Noelle shrieked with joy as she ran to Edgar's side. He was still sleeping, but she knew that he was now alive. "Wait for some minutes, give or take thirty, it would take time for his body to wake up..." Rhys said, looking at her. He could see the tears in her eyes. Noelle turned to look at him; her eyes were watery, and she was trying to make sure it wasn't going to be ruined. "I don't know how to thank you, but I will forever remain in your debt. You saved not just him, but you saved me as well." Her voice was cracking as she was looking at Rhys, trying to make sure he would see her gratitude; it was something that no one was going to be able to do for her. Rhys smiled. He bowed his head a bit as he looked at the lady. "You need not thank me this much; I only did w

Rhys kept his hand over Edgar’s body as he got ready to make sure that he would stop the poison that was trying to eat him up from the inside out. It was about to get to the vital organs, and that was bound to be the problem. Whoever did this didnt want this man to make it out alive…Rhys managed to stop the flow of the poison, focusing his energy on the part of the body where the poison was spreading. He managed to keep it at bay. Everyone was looking at him, paying attention to see if he was a madman or if he was someone who they were meant to take seriously. Noelle had her hipes on him, it was not clear what was going to be the outcome, but she knew that it was going to be what would determine where they stood as a family. “Hmm, that man is touching Ol’ Edgar like that, I dont even know what is worse. The way they are letting him do whatever he wants or how they are acting like it is meant to be normal.” Julia was trying to cause a fight; it was bound to happen, but then she w

Rhys didn't want to do anything that would come from the angle and make him look like he was trying to take something from them. He knew that it was going to be a risky game to even think of playing with them like that. “How dare you talk to me like that?” James was furious, looking at Rhys, he could tell that he was trying to make sure that he would get it into his head that there was no way for them to be on the same angle or wavelength. Rhys stared at James, growing tired of the manchild’s tantrum. He tried to make sure that there was no way for him to bait him into inflicting harm on him. “I am not sure if you understand what you are trying to do here, but I need you to leave me alone so I can do what is needed to save the man,” he spoke calmly.James stared at Rhys, trying to look for something to bring it all down. It was bound to be a failure, and then they would have all the power to do what they wanted to him. “I'd love to see you fail, then I would want to make sure that

James was looking at everyone as they kept quiet, watching a random man touch the patriarch of their family. “Don't tell me you lost your balls as well?” He muttered as he shifted from Saint, trying to make sure that he would send his voice to the family. “That stranger is touching him like there is no way we would be talking,” his eyes turned to Lucien, as he walked to him with a look in his eyes. “You're meant to be the one who will call things to order, why do you stand there and watch him touch the old man like that?!” “Don't you see it?” Lucein asked as he kept his eyes on Rhys. There was something about the man he was looking at that made things clear that they were dealing with something that seemed to be beyond their own control; if they made a mistake, then it would be catastrophic. “What is the world you are talking about?” James asked, clearly his eyes were not open to see what Lucien had seen, to even say something like that, and it was what made it harder for him. “

Rhys stared at Noelle, and for some reason, he didn’t know what it was that pulled him to the lady, but her presence was something that he wouldn't have imagined. “What are you doing here?” Noelle stuttered, staring at Rhys as he walked into the room, trying to make sure that he wouldn't cause much problems. Rhys stared at Noelle, knowing that there were going to be many questions from the family members, but he wasnt dressed like the royal man she had met the day she was trying to escape Kito. “I came here because my grandfather said I should make sure that I honor his word. I am meant to meet with Edgar Leonhart.” Rhys had a smile on his face. “Well, you can take yourself out of here. It's family only, and the man you are trying to talk to is out cold, and there is no chance that he will be able to come back.” James was the only one who had the mouth to talk; he was looking at the doctor and tried to keep his head higher. He moved to the doctor and tapped his hand on the doct
