Austin smiled, as he replied. “I am her boyfriend.”Claire shot Austin a cold stare, “Your boyfriend, Since when did you have a boyfriend. Or did you just go out to pick a random stranger to deceive us?”Hannah gritted her teeth, she was about to utter a word before Austin interrupted her with his words.“No, Mrs. Prescott. Hannah and I have been dating for three months.” He sounded confident.Claire let out a bitter laugh, “Three months my foot. Do you think I am dull, if you have been dating for three months, why then is she introducing you now?” She asked. Then looked at Austin from top to bottom.“Where did you come out from? You don’t look like someone Hannah would want to be in a relationship with.” Her voice was laced with contempt.Mr. Prescott, “Darling, you shouldn’t have said that. Let the young man have his sit.”“Thank you, sir.”Austin sat, and Hannah followed, taking a seat beside him. From the few minutes he had stayed at the mansion, he could tell who was nice and wh

Austin welcomed Hannah into his abode, and they sat at his mini bar inside his house. He offered her champagne; Hannah couldn’t help but marvelled at the ambience.She never thought he could own something like that, she never underestimated him but wasn’t expecting his house to look like a castle. As she took her sip slowly from the glass, she kept her eyes ogling around taking a view of each design. Something was different about Austin, his appearance.Austin noticed the uneasy feeling in her expression, he could tell something was bothering her. He wanted to ask but kept mute, she might not want to share her troubles with someone.The silence between them lasted for thirty minutes; they just sipped and stared at each other.“You haven’t stated why you visited me and how you knew where I was staying.” He broke the long silence between them.Hannah let out a short smile, trying to mask the sadness that had engulfed her. She took a deep breath and muttered. “I sent someone to help me

“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
