The Miracle Doctor: Return Of The Convict

CHAPTER 6

THE TURNTABLES

He knew he was easily going to be allowed in because he knew a lot of the big men in the city, most of whom had come to him for treatment while he was in prison.

After all that Ava had done to him, giving her a little payback would not hurt.

Ethan went to sit back down on his armchair with a wicked grin on his face.

He looked around him and smiled.

This was not the way he had imagined his life to become.

On the day he was sentenced to jail, he thought his life was over, but with the assurance of Ava, he believed he still had a companion and a backbone.

On the day he came out of prison, he knew he was back to freedom and was going to enjoy a new life with his wife, not knowing that Ava was bound to betray her this way.

When he was taking the fall for her, he did it out of love, but Ava paid him back with evil.

Up until now, Ethan had no idea who that dead man was, and Ava never explained anything to him.

His only hope was that he was going to know the whole truth once he was out of prison, but he was apparently wrong.

Blinded by love, he had done the unthinkable and paid for the sins of his lover, and here he was. Now he was all alone, abandoned by the woman he claimed to have loved.

Ethan smiled to himself.

“At least the term I served has taught me a lot of things and has also made me a millionaire,” he thought to himself.

He stood up with his wine glass and the newspaper and walked inside.

A few minutes later, Ethan walked to his car parked in front of the house.

He had to go attend to one of his patients, Mr Blackwood's brother.

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

NEXT DAY AT THE LAUNCHING CEREMONY FOR THE WINSOR GROUP.

Ethan drove to the front of the big event hall in his car

It was in a big hotel that was meant for only top-class people in the society.

Ethan stopped exactly where the parking valet told him to and got out of the car.

He handed the valet his car keys and a hundred-dollar bill as a tip for him.

The valet smiled and bowed a little to show his sign of respect.

Ethan wore a black tuxedo suit and black shoes.

His face was neatly trimmed, with a low haircut and a nicely shaped moustache and beard, and his masculinity had been revealed, far from his appearance on the day of his release.

He wore a nice smile on his face as he walked to the entrance of the hotel.

“Doctor Ethan,” someone called from his back.

Ethan stopped in his tracks and turned around with a smile.

“At least someone recognises me; this is going to be easy.” Ethan thought to himself as he turned to look at the one who called out to him.

A middle-aged Man who looked like an important person, judging from his bodyguard, approached Ethan eagerly with a smile on his face

As he got closer, Ethan immediately recognised who the man was.

He was one of the people who had visited him in prison to have their disease cured. The man was also a businessman and the owner of a law firm, a lawyer.

Ethan smiled and exchanged handshakes with the man.

“Hey David, How is it going with you? You look good.” Ethan said with a wide smile on his face.

David smiled and nodded.

“Thank you, man. All thanks to you, now I am healed. I wouldn't have been here if not for your help. I am eternally grateful. I didn't know you were out already; I would have come to see you,” David said with a smile.

“Nice to hear this. I just came back about three days ago,” Ethan replied with a smile.

“That's great. And you are looking so handsome in that suit. I can see you are going in already. Let’s walk together then,” David said as he gestured towards the hall.

Ethan nodded and moved along with him.

David's bodyguards were following them closely behind, and Ethan couldn't help but smile as he had a feeling of what it felt like to be powerful.

The hall was already filled with people.

There were ushers all around, directing people who didn't know where they were supposed to be.

The ushers, on seeing David and Ethan, all saluted in respect. Ethan knew that it was for the lawyer, David, but he smiled along.

Soon, they were in the VIP lounge with some other important guests who had come for the party. Ethan met another man he knew, Chris. He had healed him too, and he was in the fashion business. He was also a well-known and famous young man.

David and Chris began introducing Ethan to their friends. All the men there were big businessmen in various industries, and hearing that Ethan was a very good doctor, as hailed by David and Chris, they all exchanged pleasantries and got talking with him.

As Ethan began feeling welcomed and relaxed among the people, he heard two familiar female voices from behind him.

Ethan knew exactly who the voices were.

“Excuse me, gentlemen.” One of the voices said softly from behind, and all the men turned around to see who the voice belonged to.

Ethan turned around with a wide grin and smiled.

Both ladies stopped in their tracks and directed their gazes to Ethan directly.

“Ethan!!” Both ladies exclaimed at the same time.
