Quin sighed. He knew that he had no other choice but to repeat what he said earlier, but in a clearer language.“What I wanted to say was that we will have to burn it out of him by placing something hot on his chest and letting it burn. That’s the only way.”“No way! Do you want to kill him?!” Emily fired in disagreement, but Quin still maintained his words.“That’s the only way. I wish there was another way.” He said to the old man who was already scared before he could do what he said.“Who made you a Doctor?” A female voice said from the back, and everyone turned to see Lady Kate walking into the room.She had been listening to all their conversations and waiting for the right time to go on.“I always knew that you had evil intentions for all of us. You want to kill Lord Famous so that you can inherit everything he has. That’s not going to happen!” Lady Kate fired in annoyance.Quin scoffed. “That’s very funny.” He said with a smirk on his face, but the lady still maintained her sc

Quin was very eager to help, but the man didn’t look like he was willing to continue living. “You don’t have to try, Quin. I am tired of everything already.” Lord Famous said with a low tone, but Emily didn’t want to hear that.“Don’t listen to him, Quin! Help us!” She cried, making sure that she was persistent and loud enough to convince Quin to help.“You heard her, Lord Famous. I must do what she wants. You must also accept to get better for her sake.” Quin’s mind was made up, and the old man could see that as well.“Fine, do it.” Lord Famous nodded reluctantly, and then he sighed. “Very good. Now let’s look at what’s wrong with your chest.” Quin began to examine the old men, and then he took his hands off them after a while.“What’s wrong?” Lord Famous asked, and Emily drew closer to find out why Quin had suddenly stopped what he was doing.“He has been poisoned.” He said, causing Emily to gasp.“What?! That’s not possible! Who would dare?!” Emily sounded very certain of what sh

For a moment, Quin waited for Emily to say something else, but it became obvious that she meant the words she said earlier. “You are serious?” He asked, but she was too embarrassed to admit it. Quin left her standing and moved to shut the door. Then he sat down on the same couch he was sitting on when she knocked. Emily stared at him for a while. She thought he was going to speak to her, but it turned out that he was busy with what he was doing before she came.“Aren’t you going to ask me why I am here?”“You can as well say it or you leave, Emily. The choice is yours.” Quin was very cold with his response, and Emily was taken aback.For a moment she stood still, but when she saw that Quin was not going to give her any attention she moved and sat down beside him.“My company is in need of help, Quin.” She said with a forced tone, and then she bent her face to the ground.She never thought that there was going to be a time when she was going to ask the man she humiliated for help,

Col stood by the corner watching as the old lady slowly walked to Quin’s uncle. She couldn’t believe that he was the one lying on the bed with his eyes open.“It’s okay, Col. She is with me.” Quin gestured to Col as soon as he saw that he was about to stop Lady Bianca from going near her husband. “Edmund? Is this you?” Lady Bianca slowly touched her husband, but even though his eyes were open, he didn’t give her any response. “Eddie?” She called out to him again with tears slowly dropping from her eyes. But there was no response from the old man, and she turned to face Quin for an explanation.“I am working on finding a permanent cure for him, Aunty. You don’t need to be worried, he is going to be fine.” Quin said with an assuring mind, but the old lady was still worried about her husband. “Why isn’t he saying anything? Eddie? Can you hear me?!” She shook him countlessly, believing that he was supposed to be awake since his eyes were open, but the old man gave her no response. “H

The old lady was still shaky, and she grabbed the handle of her door, getting ready to run into the house.“Uncle is alive,” Quin said calmly, and the old lady returned her gaze to him.“That’s a lie.” She said, but the look on Quin’s face was something she couldn’t ignore even if she wanted to.“No! That’s not possible! He died! I saw him! They told me he was never going to wake up again.”“He is alive, Lady Bianca, and I can prove it to you.” Quin sounded very certain of everything he said, but the old lady didn’t seem to believe him.“I know that this is very difficult for you to believe, but it’s the truth. Uncle Edmund is alive.” “No! He is dead! I saw him!” The old lady said with tears falling from her eyes. “Why have you suddenly come to remind me of the past?! You should have stayed where you were! Go away!” Lady Bianca was scared of being seen with Quin, and he was wondering why she was on the lookout.“Uncle Edmund is alive, Aunty. That’s the truth, and I need you to believ

It was finally time to wait to see if there was going to be any effect from the herbs, and Quin stood beside the old man together with Col, who was anxious as well.He couldn’t stop listening to the sound of his heartbeat as he prayed hard that the herb was going to work.“Please work.” He said silently, but there was no change.The old man remained the way he was, plain and pale with his eyes tightly shut and his veins popping out.“I thought it was supposed to do something,” Col said, but even Quin was as disappointed as he was. “Maybe I didn’t give him enough.” Quin grabbed the plate and started making another portion from the herbs he took from Lord Farrell. He was so focused on what he was doing that he didn’t realize what was going on behind him. “Doctor Quin?! Look!” Col called his attention, and he turned to see that his uncle’s eyes were wide open.He left what he was doing and quickly moved to the man. “Uncle?! Can you hear me?!” He grabbed the old man’s hands and tighten

Quin struggled with the urge to go after the old man because he knew that it could lead him to revealing a secret he promised to take to his grave, but his uncle’s life was at stake, and it was either he played along or lose his only family member. He was forced to take a step after them, and then the second, the third, before he started marching faster to catch up with them.Lord Farrell walked very fast until his energy could no longer carry him, and he was forced to slow down, causing his guards to catch up with him.Quin kept a little distance of caution, observing as they walked through a hidden tunnel that led them into a secret room.The old man opened the door to the room with a large key hanging on his neck, and then he went in with just Quin while the guards stood at the door waiting.“I am sure you can identify the herbs when you see them.” Lord Farrell gestured to Quin who began to look around the secret room while he kept his eyes wide open.There were herbs of different

Lord Farrell allowed the silence in the large room to linger for so long, but Quin didn’t have all the time in the world. “Lord Farrell?”“Don’t be in a hurry, Quin. I have a lot of things that I want you to do for me.” Lord Farrell sniggered at Quin, who didn’t have any other choice but to remain silent while he waited to hear what he was going to say.Quin’s eyes went to the wristwatch he was putting on, and he could see that he had spent more than an hour there without being able to achieve anything.If not that he was certain that Col was right about the two herbs being there, he would have concluded that the old man was trying to play games with him. “There are two things that I want you to do for me, and I shall give you the five herbs of vitality. I know about your uncle’s health, he was my friend, remember?” Quin sighed. He could have thought that Lord Farrell didn’t know the reason why he wanted the herbs, and it could have been better if it remained a secret.“What are t

Quin had to continue on foot since there was not enough space for his car to fit. The gate was wide open, but no one had ever been brave enough to go into the abode of the Dukes. Quin could see the castle that looked like an ancient temple. Everything but the paint was still intact, making it almost impossible to tell if the castle was the same as the leaves that were growing around it, or if it was never painted but allowed to stand tall in the middle of nowhere. Quin’s steps were calculated. He could never take any chances since it looked like there could be traps ahead of him. He wasn’t certain, but it seemed like he saw someone peeping at him from one of the windows up high on the castle. But he continued walking, determined to get what he wanted. Just a few meters away from the castle, he had a creaking sound that made him look. The wooden door was opened from the inside, and the dust that flew to the sky was evidence of how long the doors had been shut.A teenage boy came
