Chapter 123
Austin glanced at Lucy, he could tell she was surprised. The gift he gave Patricia was nothing to him. At that moment, he glanced at his phone screen.“I need to leave, someone is waiting for me.” He said getting up from his seat.Seeing that Patricia got up, “Austin, you should stay for a few minutes, we just got started.”Austin nodded, “I am sorry, but it’s urgent.” He pulled the chair away. Just when he was about to take a step, Lucy called out to his name and he turned towards her. “Austin, I am going with you.”Anderson’s face turned dark, and he couldn’t believe Lucy was going with him when he was there.“Lucy, why not stay with us. I can drive you home later.”“I have something to do at the hospital,” she hurriedly replied, and then turned to Patricia and apologised, before walking behind Austin.Anderson’s hand curled into a fist as he stared at them with anger bubbling within him.“Fuck off.” He yelled at Johnson, whose gaze was fixed on him.Inside the car, Lucy kept loo

Just as Anderson had anticipated, his reason for paying for Lucy was to make Austin look like the black sheep among them.Knowing if Lucy didn’t bring a gift, she would he judged with Austin, but now she had cleared her name. He knew he would use this opportunity to humiliate Austin and keep his face clean before Lucy.Austin was about to utter a word when Anderson spoke out. “Patricia, there is no need to ask him for a gift when he is not one of us. Besides, what else can a deadbeat loser get for you that would surpass what I have given you for the night?”Patricia and her friends chuckled, “You are right, I don’t think he can even afford the bag or the watch. Let’s just forget about it.”“What do you want?” Austin asked.Patricia furrowed her brow staring at him, “Did he just ask me what I want?”Austin nodded. “You heard me right. Name it.”Patricia let out a mocking laughter, knowing it would be impossible for Austin to get her what she wanted. “Austin, come off it. There is n

“You shouldn’t have said that,” Lucy whispered.“Why? Don’t I look like a CEO?” Austin asked.Lucy heaved a deep sigh, not wanting to say anything that would make him feel badAnderson sneered, “You can never be the CEO of Jerold. The CEO of Jerold is an old man who likes to keep his identity private, not someone like you.” He then turned to his friends. “Don’t mind him, he is just a roadside doctor famous for being a liar and tricking people to get money from them.”Anderson and his friends burst into laughter.“You should have said it from the beginning. Can you heal someone with asthma? Were you the one who produced the magic pill that Lucy is using to trend?”Lucy felt a pang of hurt and guilt seeing how Austin had been mocked.However, Austin was unfazed by their words. His gaze met Lucy’s. He grasped she wasn’t happy with the scene happening around them.“Lucy, I know you have always wanted to know who saved you that night, and how you woke up in a different place.”His words m

Austin and Lucy walked into the restaurant, and they had managed to slip out of the hospital, avoiding restaurants close by due to the incident.Just as they entered, Lucy was welcomed by the presence of some familiar faces, and Austin only knew Anderson. He had remembered him from the night when he took Lucy.Lucy was stunned seeing him and others there. “What are you doing here?” She asked Anderson who was also surprised to see her. “We are celebrating, and I was about to call you. Since you are here I don't see any reason why you shouldn't join us.”Lucy was puzzled, she had come here to have a discussion with Austin and not for their celebration. Genevieve, her college friends waved at her. “Lucy, come join us. We are happy to see you.”Lucy looked at Austin, unsure of what to say. He shrugged, and they both walked towards the table filled with friends and old college friends. Anderson felt uneasy seeing Austin with Lucy, he suspected something was going on between them. He tho

After, Dr. Lucy left the room. She strode into her office, still amused by the effect of the pill. She had done some medical checks on Mr. Prescott, and his illness had vanished as if it had never been there before.Her mind raced as she stared at the pills. Then she thought about something. She left her office and then walked into one of the wards. She found a little boy, who broke his spine after an accident. She knew the report of the boy, he wouldn’t be able to walk again, and she knew the effect of the pill. She decided to try it on someone else.“Nurse, can you give me a moment? I need to check something, it’s urgent.” She said,The nurse nodded, taking a step backwards as she watched Dr. Lucy gingerly put the pills into the mouth of the boy, whose face was pale. “You are going to be fine.” She whispered.The nurse looked puzzled, “What’s that, Dr. Lucy?” It’s a magical pill, I got it from a friend. It can cure even conditions already deemed important to be treated.” She cou

Claire was caught off guard, she didn’t see that coming. But she knew she had to stand up for herself before it was too late.“What the hell are you talking about? Are you trying to accuse me? Don’t try to shift the blame, we are going to sue you if anything should happen to him.”Dr. Martin couldn’t stand the conversation, so he spoke out. “Young man, you should be worried about what you have done! Instead of apologising, you are blabbing. Do you know what would happen to you if anything should happen to Mr. Prescott?”“Nothing will happen to my father, Dr. Martin. Austin’s pill is authentic and it can cure any illness.”“I am not surprised you are defending him. This was all your plan to kill my husband, wasn’t it? Then you can snatch his remaining possessions!” Austin and Hannah frowned. She looked at her stepmother with disgust. Did you just say I want to snatch what are already his remaining possessions? Do you even have anything left? Do you even know what you are talking abou
