“I paid attention,” he said simply. “The signs were there. You just had to look with different eyes.”Austin gave them instructions to allow the girl to rest before taking her out of the emergency room. Lily stepped in, examining the little girl to be sure nothing was missing.When they left the room, they met Dr. Oliver, and Dr. Clifford approached them with a gloomy outlook. Their plan failed, they couldn’t tell how Austin did it.Dr. Clifford wasn’t going to give up, “What is going on here?” Clifford barked. “Who permitted him to treat her? You weren’t supposed to allow an unlicensed civilian to conduct an emergency procedure.” “He used what we had in the room,” Lily said firmly. “And he saved her life.”“He’s not even a doctor.” He said with his voice brewing in anger. “You had the chance to help. You chose not to.” She countered. They fell silent. Dr Lily’s gaze met with Oliver’s. “So, I thought someone was going for a family emergency. Why are you still here?” Dr. Lily ask

Inside the room, the girl lay unconscious on the gurney, her face pale, her chest rising weakly under the hum of a ventilator, monitor beeped and blinked with erratic reading.Dr. Lily moved fast, barking orders, assessing vitals, and preparing for an emergency thoracotomy. The diagnosis has shifted, and now suspected cardiac arrest due to the toxin. “Toxin level spiking,” one nurse called out. “It’s not natural.” Her gaze met Austin, “You are right.”Austin stepped back watching silently as she worked with grace and precision, fighting to stabilise the girl. Dr. Oliver and Clifford watched from the sidelines; they were curious to know how Lily was going to fail so they could quickly shift the blame to her.Suddenly, the unexpected happened. The blade slipped.It was only a nick, but the pain shot up her hand like lightning. A sharp gasp escaped her lips, and she drew her hand back in reflex. Blood welled at the tip of her index finger. The scalpel clattered to the floor, sending

“I am Austin Davis.”“Who cares about your name, you should get going to avoid us calling the security to throw you out of here.” Dr. Clifford warned.“Dr. Lily, let’s go, it’s urgent.”The doctors were about to leave when Austin spoke out, making them pause; Dr. Clifford and Oliver’s faces contorted in irritation and rage.“I will go with her if you want her to perform the surgery.” He said when he noticed their gaze at him. He continued. “Yes, I don’t want to interfere, but I just need to be there, to see and hear everything. If things go south, she will need a witness; I will stand for her.”“Are you sure you are alright? Do you need any medical assistance? You look like someone who is mentally insane. You know what, I know a psychiatrist, he can help you.” Dr. Clifford intoned, he was burning with anger.Dr Lily was worried; she couldn’t tell why a stranger would be so desperate about his quest. Something was amiss, but she couldn’t fix the dot.She looked puzzled.“I appreciate y

She nodded, as her step came to a halt. “What’s it?” She asked, looking him in the eyes like she was trying to read his thoughts.Suddenly, Dr. Clifford and Dr. Oliver sauntered towards them, their expressions calm and unreadable. “Dr. Lily, we need to talk. It’s urgent.” Dr. Clifford said, his voice was sharp and smooth.Dr. Lily shifted her gaze from Austin to her superior, then back to Austin. “I have to go,” she said.Austin held her hand, “Don’t go,” he tried stopping her. “Why,” Lily asked, moving her hand away from his grip.“Who is he?” Dr. Clifford asked. “Let her go. We have an emergency, and she is needed.”Dr. Lily furrowed her brow, “Emergency, What happened?” Dr. Clifford was about to speak when Austin stepped in, his voice was firm and steady, “You are about to fall into their trap. These men are evil and desperate to see you leave this hospital.”“What are you talking about.” Dr Lily asked, looking at the face before her. “Who are you? And what kind of Story are
Chapter 48
While Austin was there, he overheard the nurse murmurings about the ill-treatment of Dr Lily. She was the best female physician, but Dr Clifford was biased in choosing his cousin, Dr Oliver, over her.Just then, he noticed a male physician approached Mrs. Kent with Dr. Clifford, from the tag on his shirt, Austin knew it was Oliver.He narrowed his gaze and watched them talk with Mrs. Kent, reassuring her he was the best. The old lady was more focused on seeing her Granddaughter getting treated and being alive. She doesn’t care how much it will cost her. “Mrs. Kent, Dr, Oliver is the best physician, and you can trust him.” Mrs. Kent stared at him with no reason to argue or doubt. “I am counting on you to save my granddaughter; we were together when she suddenly collapsed without any signs. Please, do your best. Money is not the problem.”Oliver nodded. His confidence was on another level. “I will not let you down.”The two male doctors walked towards another room. Meanwhile, Austin

Hannah glared at her stepmother. “This is the kind of man you need Hannah, someone who will understand your feelings, someone who is wealthy and capable of taking good care of you and your unborn children.”Claire wasn’t only trying to force Hannah into getting married because she wanted her out of the family, she knew if it should push through. She would also benefit from it. She might use Hannah’s influence to get something from Antonio.“You all should stop it,” Hannah exploded in rage. “I am not interested. I don’t want to get to know him, I don’t have feelings for him.”Without uttering another word or listening to whatever they had to spill, Hannah stood up and left the living room. Leaving everyone in shock and disbelief.“Hannah, stop there!” Claire called but Hannah ignored her. Her face twisted in frustration and rage, but she managed to fake a smile. As she averted her gaze towards Antonio. On the other hand, Antonio was furious; his jaw clenched, but he kept a smile. “
