"Seize the traffic!" Betty Sargent commanded through the call, the entire city was seized with no single vehicle on the road being an obstacle for them.
The second daughter Liliana made a call to the international hospital, "I want the top most skilled doctors to be arranged in your hospital within a few minutes, if not be ready to face my wrath!" Her warning made the party on the other side to shiver in fear and make the arrangements just as Liliana wanted. Within no time they reached Skylands elite hospital. Looking at the emblem of the Sargent family on the sleek black cars, the special entrance was opened, through the special entrance without any hindrance of buzzing patients and hospital, all of them got inside along with Christian Top most doctors are standing with their trembling bodies, as the Sargent family's power is well known and their mere presence is enough to make people terrified. Lord Sargent entered inside first, his commanding presence silencing the whispers among the staff. As the stretcher was pushed forward, they noticed Christian, his bruised and malnourished body is a stark contrast to the grandeur surrounding him. Behind Lord Sargent, his both daughters followed, they had a mixed expression of anger and pain as they glanced at their nephew. "My nephew needs the immediate treatment," Betty demanded, just as the words left from her mouth, the senior most doctors rushed towards Christian almost immediately. Bowing respectfully, one of them stammered, "this way my lady!" Christian was carefully wheeled into a private ward. The team of doctors and specialists didn't wait for any further instructions, they jumped straight into action, examining his condition thoroughly. Lord Sargent stood outside the room, masking his face with calmness, though his hands trembled slightly as he gripped his cane. His daughters stood around him, their expressions a mixture of anger, grief, and helplessness. After a tiresome examination, the lead doctor approached Lord Sargent and his daughters with a clipboard in his hand. He glanced nervously at Lord Sargent before speaking. "My Lord, young master's condition is critical but stable. However, his injuries..." The doctor hesitated, clearly uneasy about delivering the news after knowing that Christian is the grandson of Lord Sargent. "Speak freely," Lord Sargent commanded, with a cold voice, "I want to know everything about my grandson's situation." The doctor swallowed hard. "His injuries are quite serious but not all those are from recent events. He has sustained long-term physical trauma, indicating prolonged abuse. Additionally, he is severely malnourished, which has further weakened his body, this level of neglect and abuse is unimaginable, I don't know how that young boy tolerated all this!" A heavy silence filled over the room as the doctor ended his words. Liliana's hand flew to her mouth, tears spilling over as she turned away. Betty clenched her fists so tightly that even a rock would turn into powder with that grip. "Those bastards..." Betty growled under her breath. "Monsters," Lilliana whispered, her voice trembling. "How could they do this to him?" The doctor was almost on the verge of passing out in nervousness but made sure to inform the most important news. "My Lord," he began, "we've discovered that the young master has an extremely rare blood type, one that is unique to your family lineage." Clenching his fist, Lord Sargent turned to his butler with a calm voice, yet carrying the weight of an invisible command. "Take a strand of his hair, we will conduct a DNA test to confirm his lineage, and I want the result to be out as soon as possible within a few minutes." The butler nodded immediately, producing a small envelope to gently gather a few strands of Christian's hair. "I don't need a test to confirm that, this boy is my grandson," Lord Sargent muttered under his breath, fixing his gaze at Christian's pale, and bruised face. "His face, his rare blood group, everything screams that he is my Marie's son and my precious grandson, a gift from my daughter, but for those who might dare question it, a test might shut their mouths without further arguments." Taking the envelope, the butler left from there immediately, the doctor also went right behind him. Lord Sargent and his daughters are extremely angry at that moment, just then they heard a small cry. "No... don't," Christian mumbled in his sleep, with a weak voice, filled with extreme fear. "I didn't do anything... I'm innocent... please don't hurt me, no.... I'm innocent." Lord Sargent's heart clenched as heard the desperation in Christian's voice, "My boy," he whispered softly, leaning closer to the bed "It's okay, you're safe now, under my watch, none can hurt you." But Christian's cries only grew louder as the nightmare tightened its grip on him. Tears slid down his bruised cheeks, his voice breaking as he continued to sob, "Mom, don't leave me. Please... I have no one but you, don't leave me alone, I can't live without you, no one loves me apart from you." Lord Sargent felt as if his heart had shattered into a million pieces hearing to Christian's crying voice. He reached out, gently brushing Christian's soft hair back from his forehead. "It's okay, my dear, you're not alone anymore," he promised with an extremely gentle voice, "I'm here. Grandpa is here, I won't leave you alone, I'll always be with you." The sight of Christian's agony brought back a flood of memories. Lord Sargent could almost see Marie as a young girl, and her bright smile lighting up his world. He remembered her laughter, and her soft voice calling him "Dad." Now, her son was lying here, broken and alone, carrying the scars of unspeakable pain, desperate for someone's love, as if he is scared of getting abandoned, for some reason, he felt deeply attached and connected to Christian, though it's their first time meeting each other. While Lord Sargent is so busy in consoling his grandson, the butler burst into the room, clutching an envelope with DNA result in his hand. His face was flushed with excitement and eyes were almost teary as he approached Lord Sargent. "My Lord," he called out with a voice sounding almost like a cry out of happiness, "The results came positive, this young boy is indeed your biological grandson! He... he is our young lady Marie's son!" Lord Sargent was silent for a minute, and his eyes went wide as he took the envelope from the butler's trembling hands. Slowly, he opened it, his own hands shaking as he proceeded to read it, the words on the paper confirmed what his heart already knew, and the emotional bond he felt in between him and Christian isn't a false hope, but a bond out of blood. A sob escaped from his lips as a couple of tears rolled down his cheeks. "Oh, my heavens!" he whispered, clutching the test results tightly. "I've found him, after all these years, I've found someone connected to my precious daughter, and this little one, is my precious grandson." He turned back to Christian, his expression immediately softened as he gently ruffled Christian's hair, "You're my precious grandson," he said, with a voice both emotional and enlightened. "Grandpa is here now, you'll never be alone again." Shifting his concentration from Christian to the butler, he commanded with happiness, "Announce to the world that, we found the heir of the Sargent family!"Latest Chapter
WHY NOT?
"I didn’t do anything," Christian said quietly.Aurora froze for a second, but her hand was still pressed against his chest, while fingers were trembling, eyes red and wet with unshed tears."I didn’t act that way to make anyone fall in love with me, especially you," he continued in a steady voice, neither being defensive, nor cold. "And I never had the intention of making anyone fall for me either." Aurora laughed bitterly at his statement. "Then why be like this? Why do you behave like this as if you're a gentleman?" Christian inhaled slowly, giving her time, and also giving himself time."I grew up watching my mother get mistreated," he said softly holding back himself not to break down as all the memories from the past surrounded him all at once. "I watched her get disrespected, silenced, broken… every single day, there's no single day passed in my life without seeing her tears, though it hurts that's how her life has been a hell with a man who didn't even give her the basic res
IS THAT IMPORTANT?
"I need to take care of something at the company, Rose," Christian said quietly. "I already promised Andrew that I'll be going to the company in the morning unfortunately I couldn't, at least now I should go." Rosaline sighed at his response, "Is it that important?" "Yes," Christian nodded his head with a determined face, "Of course it is important Rose, they must be panicking because of everything that's happening in the company right now, I need to be there with them, they stood by my side all the time, now whatever happening it's all because of me, shouldn't I be there to assure them everything will be okay? Isn't it my duty to take care of them?"Rosaline stared at him, arms crossed, eyes searching his face as if trying to read the thoughts he wasn’t saying aloud.She knew it's all because of Aurora, that woman targeted Christian and became the cause of all the mess, still, Christian isn't blaming her or talking ill about her, that single thing proved to Rosaline that Christian
YOU SCARED ME
"I still can't believe..." Christian didn’t remember the drive back. "I left that mansion!" He only remembered the moment the gates of Nevermore Mansion closed behind him, and how his chest felt strangely hollow the entire way, as if he had left something important behind without even knowing what it was.The car barely stopped in front of Rosaline’s guest house before the door got opened."Chris!"Rosaline ran straight toward him, not even caring that he hadn’t fully stepped out yet because she has been waiting for him all the night without even sleeping as she is worried about him from the moment Mrs. Nevermore has informed them about Christian staying at their mansion overnight.Immediately she wrapped her arms around him tightly, burying her face against his shoulder as if afraid he might disappear again, the thought of him disappearing made her heart clench in unexplainable pain and she was not ready to be separated from him even for a second."You scared me," she muttered. "Do
HE TRUSTS ME TOO EASILY
"What do you mean by a paternity test?" Adrian repeated softly, his voice steady in a way that did not match the tension coiled inside him.Lysandre nodded once with a gentle smile. "First of all, I apologise for doing such a thing without your permission my Lord, actually I've taken the samples discreetly. The lab used blood residue from last night, your wound, and… a sample retrieved from the bracelet fragments, I've given them to the lab by myself." Adrian didn’t check the report immediately, he didn’t need to, because his heart already gave an answer to him last night.Still, his fingers moved on their own, slow and deliberate, as he pulled the paper free.The words were clinical, cold, and unemotional.Probability of biological paternity: 99.99%.For a long moment, nothing happened, no storm answering the truth, not even wind came to disturb the silence that surrounded him.Adrian simply closed his eyes, not in shock, but in relief.Behind him, Mrs. Nevermore took a slow step fo
I DON'T KNOW
"I'm so happy after a long time Lys," Mrs. Nevermore smiled at Lysandre, though Lysandre smiled back as a reply deep inside he was nervous as he was waiting for someone or something so eagerly from the moment he woke up.Morning moved gently through Nevermore Mansion.There was no thunder to announce it, no lightning tearing through the sky, only pale sunlight slipping through tall windows, painting the stone walls gold and softening the shadows left behind by the night’s chaos.Christian stood near the window of Adrian’s room, adjusting the sleeve of his shirt absently.His body felt… fine.Too fine, there's not even a single ache, he couldn't feel any storm beneath his skin.No buzzing pressure in his chest, it almost frightened him more than the pain had.Adrian stood a few steps behind him, watching in silence. He hadn’t spoken much since the last conversation he had with Christian in the morning, only observed, as if afraid that sound alone might shatter this fragile calmness.M
AM I REALLY OKAY NOW?
"Whoosh!" Soft wind with gentle rays showed the signs that morning has arrived quietlyNo thunder, no lightning, no pain either, everything was peaceful in between four walls, there's no signs of any danger or awakenings anymore, all of a sudden it's very silent.Christian woke to the unfamiliar weight of warmth and silence.For a few seconds, he didn’t move as he couldn't remember anything at that moment, he simply lay there, staring at the ceiling, confused by how calm his body felt. No ache in his chest, no buzzing under his skin, no storm clawing to get out, it was like nothing ever happened to him, "Am I really okay now?"The question felt unreal.He slowly turned his head, and froze immediately after finding Adrian was asleep.Not on the bed, but in the chair beside it, his long frame folded awkwardly, one arm resting against the mattress, fingers loosely curled as if he’d fallen asleep mid-guard.He hadn’t left the room and stayed there for the whole night, the realisation th
