The Miracle Doctor: Return Of The Convict

CHAPTER 5

DOCTOR AT WORK

Thomas Took the paper and headed out immediately.

"I just need to get the requested items, and you will be fine in just three days. Meanwhile, do you mind if I use your washroom?” Ethan asked Eric.

Eric immediately pointed at the washroom door on his left.

Ethan walked in quickly without saying a word

Ethan gasped for breath as he entered the washroom.

He knew he couldn't handle that at the moment and had to leave and get hold of himself.

He quickly walked out of the washroom into the bedroom.

“I'm sorry, sir. I just came to assess the wound for now. I just came out of prison yesterday, and I have to settle down. I will come back here in two days' time to begin treatment of the disease,” Ethan told Eric.

Eric did not disagree or show any sign of disapproval.

“I understand that, Ethan. Your house is ready, and everything is set in there. Here is the key to the house….” Eric picked up a bunch of keys from the table beside his bed.

“The driver will take you there. You can settle down and come help me whenever you are ready,” Eric said, handing the keys over to Ethan. Ethan took the keys and nodded, quickly making his way out.

While in prison, he had used some of the money he had gotten from his treatments to purchase a house in one of the prestigious estates in the city. He was hoping to move there with Ava as soon as he came out, and now, he was going there all alone.

Ethan walked out to the entrance and told the driver to take him home.

The driver understood what he meant and drove out of the house with him.

They got off the estate, and after a twenty-minute drive on a freeway, they were in another estate.

They drove through the estate, and within three minutes, the driver stopped in front of a big, nice, storey apartment.

Ethan immediately recognised it as the one he had seen in the pictures that were being shown to him while he was in prison.

The driver took out a small remote from his dashboard and pressed it. The big security door slowly began to open.

The driver drove after the gate was opened wide enough for him to get in.

He drove into the garage in the compound and stopped the car.

Ethan stepped out of the car and looked around.

He smiled to himself as he looked at the building in front of him. It was a nice storey apartment with a garden at the back and a balcony in front which offered an aerial view of the entire estate.

There was a swimming pool and a nice garage big enough to fit three cars.

In the garage, a blue BMW X5, his dream car, was parked there.

He smiled widely, and for a moment, he felt sad.

He was hoping to move into this apartment the moment he came out of prison, with his wife, Ava. Now, coming here alone without Ava broke his heart.

He quickly shook off the thoughts of Ava and smiled.

He walked forward to the entrance, and the driver called from behind, approaching him.

“Hello, sir, this is the remote for the gate.

Also, all the remodelling has been done to your specifications. The bank submitted your credit and debit cards yesterday, and they are on the study table in your bedroom. The laptop and mobile phone are on the table as well. If you need anything, kindly give me a call.” The driver said to Ethan.

Ethan took the remote from him, nodded and continued walking towards the gate.

************************

Ethan sat on the front porch of his house with a wine glass on his table.

He gazed keenly at the magazine in his hand and at the woman on the front page.

Ethan was a hundred per percent sure that it was Emily, and there was no doubt about it.

According to what he had read from the magazine, Emily was a multimillion business owner.

Her grandfather was a rich business mogul and headed the “WINSOR GROUP” in business.

And she was hosting a big party to officially introduce her partnership with a new business.

All the important men in the city were going to be there.

Ethan finally understood why Emily was surprised when he sincerely said he did not know who she was.

He now understood why Emily told him to keep his mouth shut and never tell anyone else about their encounter.

But then another thing occurred to him. The name “WINSOR GROUP” sounded so familiar in his ears.

It was like he had heard that name before while he was still in prison.

“ Yes. Yes. I know now. This was the same company Ava said she was getting a deal from,” Ethan muttered aloud to himself.

His eyes popped out in disbelief.

He could not believe he had recently had an affair with such a rich girl and did not even realise that.

He stood up with his wine glass in his hand and paced the balcony from end to end.

Ava had given him a hard time ever since he came out of prison just three days ago. She had made him sign the divorce papers and taken everything he had before he went to prison.

In Ava's mind, he probably might be a homeless bum living on the streets and begging for food for survival.

“I think I have to pay them a visit tomorrow morning,” Ethan muttered to himself.
