The Vampire King Is Back

The stillness in the room remained with Eddie still having his head bent all the way down. Dr. Hayes didn't dare to breathe too fast.

Just then, a second generation heir walked out of the elevator. Dr. Hayes' eyes widened like he suddenly realized something.

"I think you got the wrong person, Mr. Morton. You made a mistake. The special guest who visited isn't a female but a male. This right here is—"

A crisp sound sounded then an even more eerie silence took place.

Dr. Hayes opened his eyes wide in surprise. Glancing between the second generation heir and Sister, he couldn't believe Eddie made such a mistake but in order not to get slapped again, he kept silent.

Eddie on the other hand, felt his heart in his mouth as he quickly bowed again. Here he was trying to clean up the mess Dr. Hayes had done as quietly as possible but the stupid man didn't seem to know when to talk and when not to.

"Please forgive my negligence. I'll deal with this matter as soon as possible." Eddie said, not daring to raise his head.

Sister shrugged with one shoulder. "I wasn't the one he wronged."

Eddie slowly raised his head and peered into Sister's face. The chilly smile on it sent a chill down his spine. Following her eyes, he settled on a pair who looked really unkempt.

A trace of disgust flashed past his eyes and he was about to ask the security to throw them out when he stopped. Recalling Dr. Hayes had pointed at the two and even mentioned Sister had come with him, he knew this was the person she was referring to.

As Eddie walked towards Adair, he wondered what was going on and why the Big Boss was dressed in such a way. In the end, he waved it off as a fanatic rich people had.

He also bowed knee-deep to Adair and stayed that way for several seconds before he raised back his head.

"I'm really sorry for the embarrassment this hospital has caused you. We will do anything in order to get your forgiveness." Said Eddie. He had connected the dots in his mind while bowing down.

Whoever was higher than Sister was an incredibly scary person and offending him wasn't the best thing to do. Other than cozying up to Sister, cozying up to this young man didn't seem like a bad thing.

Adair, who had no idea what he was thinking, simply looked towards Dr. Hayes who still couldn't believe the turn of events.

At the same time, he grew anxious. If Adair insists on getting him fired with the attitude of Eddie towards him, he'd really get fired. So he quickly stepped forward and even slung a hand across Adair's shoulder.

However, before he could say anything, Adair shrugged away his hand and said pointedly, "Not only did he embarrass a sick child, he also manhandled her. But making a bet and not keeping to it is worse than that if you ask me."

Without being told the details of the matter, Eddie immediately knew what was going on. Dr. Hayes had made a deal with Adair and it turned bad for him, now he was trying to shirk responsibility.

"What is the obligation he's supposed to do?" Eddie asked Adair.

"He will kowtow to me ten times and also tender a letter of resignation to the hospital." Adair answered, clearly ignoring Dr. Hayes' pleading eyes.

Eddie knew exactly what to do.

"Tender your resignation in ten minutes. It'll be much better than firing you and issuing a statement on Twitter about what you had done."

It sounded harsh but anyone could see Eddie was actually giving Dr. Hayes a way out. Adair frowned and Sister caught sight of this.

"I don't just want him out of this hospital. I want his license as a doctor revoked." Sister suddenly said, catching everyone's surprise.

"You fu.cking bit.ch!" The words were yet out of Dr. Hayes' mouth when he was hit a second time. This time, Dr. Hayes refused to stay silent and threw caution to the wind. "Who the he.ll is she to decide what happens to my medical qualifications? She's just a bit.ch who doesn't know—"

"Your medical license will be revoked and you'll cease being a doctor the moment you leave this hospital." Eddie said firmly, closing his eyes for a brief moment.

Eddie and Dr. Hayes weren't really that close but to an extent, Dr. Hayes considered him his friend.

"Kowtow ten times to him and do what he asked you to." Eddie said before another word came out of Dr. Hayes mouth. To others, he was being ruthless, but Eddie knew Dr. Hayes' life would be much worse if he said any other thing to anger sister or even the mysterious young man.

Seething with rage, Dr. Hayes shouldered the embarrassment and kowtowed ten times. None of those present were allowed to take a video of the scene since it was meant to be private.

When Dr. Hayes finished, a small bloody bump had come up on his head. He got up afterwards and rushed into a corridor.

Eddie breathed out a sigh of relief that everything had come to an end. Then he walked towards Sister and bent his head a little, "I'm sorry that you had to experience this."

Sister waved him aside, keeping her eyes on Adair, she asked, "Is there anything you think should've been done differently?"

"No." Adair shrugged and flashed an appreciative look at Eddie who had raised his head. Something about that smile was scary to Eddie which made him lower his head back.

Adair was speechless.

"I just love the way Mr. Morton handled the whole issue. I also love the fact you revoked his medical license. Having a man like that as a doctor is disastrous to a society." Adair told Eddie regardless.

"I'm glad you are impressed with me, Sir." Eddie replied, still not daring to raise his head.

This show of respect greatly wowed the spectators who couldn't believe their eyes.

Sister walked up to Adair and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Eddie, this is Adair Huxley."

"It's my pleasure to meet you, Mr. Huxley." Eddie replied.

Sister said nothing else.

Eddie raised his eyes slightly and they fell on Halsey who was curled up in Adair's arms staring up at him. The little girl who had been used to being shouted at by others, quickly buried her face in Adair's chest who tightened his grip on her.

"My sister is diagnosed with cancer. The hospital requested I bring 200 million before the surgery commences. I have it now and I wish for her to be treated as soon as possible."

A muscle in Eddie's jaw twitched upon hearing Adair. Before now, he would've looked down on Adair and asked another doctor to conduct the surgery, but now, he didn't dare.

"You don't have to worry, Mr. Huxley. This is on the hospital for the embarrassment you passed through today. We'll treat her for free." Eddie said and reached out to take Halsey but the little girl held Adair tighter.

"It's okay, Halsey. He won't hurt you. He'll get rid of the pain you've been feeling, okay?" Adair coaxed, his blank expression quickly getting replaced by a gentle one.

Although it took more than that to get her to trust Eddie but eventually, she gave in.

The surgery soon commenced and Adair sat on a chair.

"Thank you for helping out today. I really appreciate." Adair said to Sister who sat next to him.

Sister shrugged, "It's what's required of me."

She didn't elaborate, and neither did he ask her to but he was glad he could get to treat his sister and still keep the money in his account.

Just thinking of how it'd transform his and his sister's life made him extremely happy.

The surgery lasted for ten hours but at 11pm, Adiar suddenly held his head and plummeted to the floor.

He seemed to hold in a scream as he kept writhing on the floor. Thankfully, most people had gone home and the few around had fallen asleep on the hospital chairs.

Sister squatted beside him, her eyes glistening in excitement. She knew exactly why this was happening.

After what seemed like an eternity but had just been thirty minutes, Adair raised his head, the air around him changing as well.

"Sister?" He called in surprise when he sat back on the chair, "How long has it been?"

"Three years."

"It's surprisingly not a long time." Adair smiled creepily.

A photographer who loved taking pictures of the night didn't miss what happened in the sky when the clock struck 11.

It had only been for a few seconds but he was fast enough to capture it with his camera. The camera exploded when the picture was made by him on Twitter and astrologers took it up.

A bloody moon hasn't appeared in a long long time.
