The Decision that Changes Everything II
"What!!?" Vivian exclaimed. "What do you mean!?""It's just as I said..." Adrian sighed. "The Foundation wants both me and Lily on a leash. They want to be in control of our actions... It's like they are afraid of the danger we pose to them.""This is crazy." Vivian said, folding her arms. "Have you told Lily? What are you going to tell her?""Simple," Adrian turned and began walking towards MMG's front doors. "I'll just tell her the truth— and let her make the decision."Vivian stared at Adrian's broad back as he walked away. "I really hope this goes well."-----Adrian moved through MMG'S halls like a man walking under water. Every step felt heavier than they would be and each sound made was muffled and distant.Many staffs tried approaching him with either greetings or other little problems that might have popped up out of nowhere, but the expression he carried on his face— they had seen it on his face more than once.Whenever he had that expression, it simply meant that something
The Decision That Changes Everything
After the board members left Adrian alone in the board room their thoughts were still on the discussion they had, he didn't immediately return to his office, instead he moved to a secure corridor beneath the executive wing.It was perhaps one of the few places that MMG shielded against internal surveillance. Vivian walked beside him quietly.She was still replaying the meeting in her head for any vulnerabilities they might have missed. She wouldn't just believe that the Board would just keep their mouths shut.And William— his case was entirely different. It was as if he was in support of Lily being thrown out of MMG.As they continued their slow walk, Adrian's phone suddenly vibrated.Then a single line of text popped up on his screen"I think you already understand what is going on now. So let's talk."His steps slowed down, but he didn't stop.This tactics being used wasn't how the Foundation ran its things. They wouldn't just announce themselves loudly unless there was a hundred p
Foundation Ultimatum
The next morning came to MMG without relief.The hospital was already fully awake, and functioning but the tension from the day before still hung in the air.Multiple security personnel were stationed at points and sections in the hospital that they had never been posted at before.Staff ID's were now checked before they could even enter a department, talk less about the front door.Rumors from yesterday night still continued till the next morning, each one getting worse than the last.The rumors had already begun to rot into something even more uglier than the actual truth.Adrian had noticed it all, but decided to say nothing.He wasn't able to get a wink of sleep last night.The stress from last night still sat under his eyes, a clear sign of exhaustion. Most of the staff had worried expressions on their faces, whenever they watched him walk by.Every system he had tightened, every order he issued and every corridor he had personally walked through. They all seemed to play constant
A Threat
As usual, MMG at night was never silent. Not because of the noise made by staff or patients, but by the machines that hummed beneath each floor, the ventilation sighing through narrow ducts.It was a normal occurrence during MMG late hours.But tonight, the whole rhythm just felt wrong.Since Adrian found out that Seraphina was the Ghost Surgeon, he began to add more security. He stood in the administrative wing issuing quiet containment orders.Everything was done quietly so no one would be alerted.He adjusted security rotation in ways that he would be able to monitor Seraphina at all times.Vivian sat beside him, working three systems at the same time, trying to isolate as much movement as possible.Their plan was simple: They had to capture Seraphina tonight, before she found out that they already knew her identity.If they weren't able to capture her tonight, it might be impossible to get such an opportunity ever again------As Lily stepped out of the operating room, her gloves
Adrian’s Revelation
Adrian was still standing by the window around the time when it happened.The security feeds still glowed silently across the far end of the wall. It covered corridors, stairwells and the surgical wings, continuously moving in a loop.His eyes didn't stay on just a single screen, instead to the kept on drifting between the screens then circling back to a particular frame.It was Seraphina, walking through one of the corridors with a calm and composed stride.Something about her presence kept causing an itching feeling at the back of his mind. It was an irritation he couldn't fully explain.He wasn't suspicious yet. But he just seemed to feel a certain pressure. Because if Seraphina really was against them, then they had allowed her to get too close.Before his thoughts could continue processing, the door slammed opened.Adrian turned sharply, quick enough to see Vivian walking in with hurried footsteps.She didn't greet him like she usually did, and that usual playful appearance was c
An Uncovered Secret
Adrian didn't relax after Lily had left his office.He remained seated on his chair, one of his hands braced against the edge of his chair.His eyes were unfocused as the hospital gums on beyond the glass wall.The promise he had made to her still hung in the air.He grabbed his tablet and activated a secure channel. Then he typed a single message."Whatever you are doing, I want you to finish it. Now."He didn't explain further. He knew the person he had sent it too would understand.Moments later, Vivian's phone buzzed. She grabbed it and saw the message Adrian had sent to her.Her eyes immediately widened in shock. 'How the hell did he know that we were looking into Seraphina.'She re-read the message, and she could immediately feel the urgency in the message.She sighed softly. "Well... Who am I to question how that man thinks, or how he even gets his information. Sometimes it feels like he is everywhere." She whispered to herself.She didn't reply to the message, instead she stoo
