Though Leo was still confident in his skills, he felt it was needed he withdrew on time, he didn't want any further accusations from the royal family member.
"These people wouldn't believe me no matter what I do, it's best I withdraw now!" Picking his phone, he was about to leave. Melissa sensed this, she became unhappy.
"Please begin the treatment, you don't have to mind all these bunch of fools!" She gingered, before he leaves.
"If it's only you, your highness, I'd stay but I'd like to fulfill their wish so that they might have peace of mind." He insisted.
"And I insist," the senior doctor said. "If you like you take it, if you don't like it, you leave, my princess," he said with a very serious face. "From the facts I've derived about the king's condition, it's a sign of cerebral palsy. He would be bedridden for life in the next three months if no surgery is conducted on him."
Colton was back into the room without them knowing.
"I know what she's trying to do, she wants the king to die so she can assume the throne!" He declared, pointing his hand at her. She turned, furrowing her eyes.
"I know I'm the cause of all that's going on, I'd leave this room for you doctors. Let the wish of Prince Colton be done!" Leo finally said.
He didn't want in the act of showing his patriotism, he would get himself into huge trouble. He knew this was a small case compared to other cases he had been solving, but with the level of mistrust on him, he couldn't just handle this.
He bowed before the princess, opening the door and he left the room. Princess Melissa was frustrated, she went mute and felt defeated but Leo did this for his good. He was glad he was out of trouble. Prince Colton was now in control, so he ordered the doctors which Steve brought to come forward. Melissa went silent, folding her arms and watched what was going on.
The king has been in a disturbing condition for the past three months when he was brought into the medical facility after showing signs of occasional insanity. All efforts have been in vain. The primary wish of the royal family, especially Melissa, is to see the king return to a calm demeanor and take back his position.
He had lost the ability to think well and act cordially as a king.
"First of all, a drip would be needed," the doctor said.
They installed the water into the drip syringe and injected it into his body, from here they were going to transport him through a stretcher to the theater so they can kickstart the surgery. Before they could do anything after placing him on a drip, the king started to shake violently on the bed, his eyes went pale.
The next minute, blood started to ooze out of his nose and ears. The heart beat and pulse recording machine showed his heartbeat increasing so fast, and his pulse going off that of a normal human being. This was a few minutes after Leo left, if certain, it wasn't up to ten minutes, by now he would be downstairs.
"What's happening?" Colton screamed in frustration.
"Didn't I tell you?" Melissa yelled at him, hitting him on the back.
"Should you be blaming me or the doctors in charge?" He defended.
"What did you say when I asked Leo to treat dad?" The princess held him on the throat, almost strangling him. He fought to break free.
"If this is happening with experienced doctors, what do you think would happen with that brat? The king would just die at once!" He still didn't accept the fact.
Melissa stamped her foot in anger. "This boy, you still don't wanna learn your lesson!"
More doctors hearing the commotion rushed into the room to see what was happening. Seeing the king in this manner and the doctors who were already in here confused and frustrated, they tried their best to revive the king.
When Melissa saw that their techniques weren't working, the king was still shaking terribly, she hurriedly pulled up her phone to call Leo. "I'm sure he hasn't reached the gate of the hospital," she muttered to herself.
The call rang, then went through. Leo's voice came up.
"Hello, your highness?"
"Please we need your help urgently here! The doctors which my uncle brought have made my dad's condition go worse. He's dying........" Great pain could be heard in her voice. "He's shaking terribly and blood is oozing out of him…… "
This greatly touched Leo that he had no choice but to return back. When he arrived at the room, it was turbulent as the king's breath was drastically increasing, his heartbeat was getting close to that of a dead person.
The most senior doctor immediately shouted. "What's he doing here again? If he's able to do this work well, I'll kneel down in public, before everyone in this hospital and call him sir." He was angry that the princess decided to call Leo again instead of trying another method.
"And I'll marry him should he revive my dad, the king at this critical moment." The princess was serious about this. Leo heard this, he almost froze in shock but he knew he needed to pay attention to what was most important at the moment which was reviving the king.
"How can the princess of this country, who's next in line to be on the seat of government, marry a poor, unpopular guy like me?" He questioned deep within himself.
"This sounds too good to be true!" But this motivated him to try harder, his best to revive the king.
He set to do his job!

He said to her as he slapped her again. "She held her cheek firm. "What was that for?!" She asked out loud, almost crying. "You will know when I am done with you!" He said in a very angry tone.

Capone could not believe this. "I said it has been disposed of in the ocean where I always dispose of my bodies." He said to the prince again."I do not care, I want it out." The prince said. "I am sorry my prince. I can not do that." He said to the prince. "It is deep under the sea and is along with all the bodies I always out there. It will be hard to find." He replied to the prince. "It does not matter. I can pay divers to go in there and bring the bodies out. I can be you in a day, he will be found." The prince said to him. "I am sorry. That place is my disposal spot and it is a secret, even to my men. I can not let anyone find it." He said to the prince. The prince was disappointed. "Don't you have at least a picture of his full body after death?" He asked Capone. "I do not, my prince," Capone responded. "You should have saved something to show me as proof." The prince said to him, looking upset. "That was not the deal of our agreement," Capone said to him. "The deal wa

Capone stared at the bodies in Charlie's apartment for a while. He wondered how to clear them out. There were three dead bodies and he was just one person. He thought about calling his men to come and aid him, but he settled for not calling them at all. "If I do, they will figure I did not kill the target when they do not see him." He thought to himself. "And words could get out to Prince Colton. I can not have that happening." He also thought. He decided to do it himself, but he also had to be smart about it. He went out and looked through the window of the apartment. The window was facing the back of the building. He observed the scene and noticed it was a dead part of the street. No one ever got into it. He then had an idea. He quickly went out and ran into his car. He brought out bags and tapes. They were meant to be used to wrap Charlie after looking at him and taken away, but since things took a dramatic turn, they would now be used for another purpose. To wap his men
