Jack Adams; Secretly Incharge

Chapter Seven:

Meanwhile in the heavy armour-plated Mercedes Benz sat Betty Thomas and Jack Adams.

“So how is your little brother?”

“I hope the both of you got home safely after those men were taken care of?” Jack asked, sipping the champagne he had been offered.

“Yes, we got home safely, all thanks to you.” Emilia Williams said as she held out her hand and poked Jack Adams on his muscles.

“I'm really glad I could help the both of you that night.”

“Lord Lucas and his goons from the Red Orb group have been running this part of the city for a long time but sadly his reign of terror is almost about to end.” 

“I can see that already, so back to why Mr Lee sent me to you.”

“You see Lady Beatrice Williams is my grandmother and she has this odd disease which has rejected all forms of medication.”

“Even the medications of Doctor Chong.”

Jack Adams immediately stopped drinking his champagne and stared askance at Emilia Williams.

“Did you just say, Doctor…Chong?” He asked, his face etched in shock and bewilderment.

“Yes, I just said…Doctor Chong, is there a problem with that?” Emilia asked, her gaze reeking with curiosity.

“How long has Doctor Chong been treating your grandmother?”

“Excuse me?!” Emilia Williams replied in shock.

“What I mean is how long has Doctor Chong been treating Lady Beatrice Williams, your grandmother?”

“Not for a very long time and why all these questions?”

“Have you in any way met this man or do you know him in any way?”

“Not at all, Ms Emilia, it's just the name just reminded me of someone, never mind Just tell me more about this strange illness of Lady Beatrice Williams.” Jack Adams said, taking another sip of his wine.

“I don't know much about this illness but I think it has a virus origin…at least that is what the doctors back at home said.”

The conversation continued and moments later, the convoy stopped at the gate and they entered into the Williams family mansion.

“Right this way, Mr Jack!”

“I just hope we are not too late for grandma's sake.” Emilia Williams said as she led the way.

The Williams family were so wealthy that they had their own family-personalised hospital inside their mansion.

“Hi Lord Williams, we are finally here,” Emilia said as she opened the last door and walked into the ward filled with doctors and nurses running around.

“Emilia, what the heck kept you so long?”

“Do you know what might have happened to your grandmother all this while since you and Mr Thwane were gone?”

“Did you find the man Mr Lee sent you to find?”

“Yes Grandpa, and he is even the man who saved us from the hands of the goons of Lord Lucas some days ago,” Emilia said, smiling as she pushed Jack Adams forward.

“Lord Williams, it's an honour to meet you.”

“Wait a minute, do I know you from anywhere before?” Lord Williams asked as he stared at a mark on Jack Adam's neck.

“I don't think so sir, I haven't met you before, can we please go over what happened to Lady Beatrice Williams?”

“Of course! But…before we proceed can I please see your medical license?”

“It's standard procedure if I'm to even allow you Lady Beatrice Williams.”

“Umh…I don't have any of those Lord Williams, but I assure you that I will try my best to see that Lady Beatrice is treated.”

“Liar!”

“Lord Williams, this guy is a fake doctor!”

“How can you even think of replacing us with someone you just found on the streets?!” Doctor Carlos, one of the doctors treating Lady Beatrice Williams immediately interjected.

“He is definitely quake! what kind of doctor goes to even treat a patient without his medical license?!” another doctor added from behind him.

“At least he isn't the one who has made my grandmother's health condition even more critical!”

“He was recommended by Mr Lee, the powerful and influential President of Titanium Valley Group.”

“Lord Williams, I really believe Mr Lee's words, if he says Jack Adams can fix grandma, why don't we give him a try?” Emilia said, staring at Lord Williams.

“Lord Williams, I really advise against this!”

“I will advise we wait for Doctor Alexander to arrive from overseas, I believe he will do a better job than this…mad man Emilia picked up from the streets!”

Taa! Taa!! Taa!!!

Lord Williams immediately delivered three deadly resounding slaps to the face of Doctor Carlos for insulting Jack Adams, his face turned red immediately.

“Watch your silly mouth!”

“It's your fault my wife is in a much more critical condition now!”

“I really wished I hadn't contacted you and your stupid hospital before now!”

“Plus the fact that you money lovers charged six million dollars in advance and yet you guys can't save my wife!”

“This man here was the one that saved the lives of Emilia and Clarke some days ago!” 

“If you dare to make me angry, I will call the United Medical Association and have your stupid medical license removed!” Lord Williams said angrily.

“Mr Jack Adams, are you sure you can treat my wife?”

“I have to see her first, and also make sure that the Paris Polyphylla you are offering is…authentic.” Jack Adams immediately replied.

“You have nothing to worry about, we the Williams family control what and all that goes in and out of the pharmaceutical industry.”

“When I tell you the Paris polyphylla is authentic, then it is!”

Clap! Clap!! Clap!!!

Lord Williams immediately clapped and one of his guards walked over to his side with a briefcase.

“Open it!”

Inside was the rare and very costly plant, Paris Polyphylla.

“You see it, can you smell its authenticity?”

“Help me save my wife and I might even give you a truckload of this stuff.”

“Alright, where exactly is Lady Beatrice Williams?” Jack Adams asked.
