Mrs. Lampton flipped her straight hair and darted her gaze toward Alex. She studied him and turned back to William. “Is this the man who is going to look after my daughter?”
“Yes of course.” William replied.
Mrs. Lampton looked at Alex with suspecting eyes. He is too young, without white coat nor stethscope around his neck.
This is the doctor Mr. Turner brought?
Mrs. Turner didn’t want Alex to see her daughter, but she offended Mr. Turner just now, how could she let him lose face again?
With Mr. Turner’s power, their family would be done.
Mr. Lampton had to say cautiously with a flattery smile, “I’m sorry Mr. Turner, but honestly we’ve found a good doctor, now he is examining my daughter, so...maybe it’s not convenient for Alex to enter...”
Alex frowned, if that doctor could cure Dianna, he was OK with that. Anyway he was here to visit this girl, not to show his medical skill.
William tried to say something, but Alex stopped him and said, “It’s OK Mrs. Lampton, I wish your daughter could recover soon.”
Mr and Mrs Lampton took a relief, they would never offend William Turner, but they must think about their daughter.
However, at this time, a screech was heard from upstairs.
What’s with this household and their screaming?
“Dianna?” Mrs. Lampton gasped and fled. Her husband ran after her.
Alex turned to William with his head cocked toward the staircase. They stood up and ran after the Lamptons
The Lamptons headed straight to Dianna’s room. Alex and William joined them.
Inside her chamber, Dianna was kneeling by the edge of her bed coughing with all her might while a middle-aged man towered above her in a white coat. He had gloves on.
Mrs. Lampton hurried toward her daughter and was starstruck when her eyes fell on the floor. Blood clots were littered on the floor and the more Diana coughed, the more blood came running through her mouth.
“Precious lord!” Mrs. Lampton exclaimed.
Meanwhile, there was a young maiden standing beside Dianna with her hands quaking. It was one of the domestic servants and she was the one who raised the alarm when Dianna began to puff blood out.
“I think she caught a strange illness.” The man standing beside Dianna said after noticing the shock everyone was bearing.
There was a name tag on his breast pocket with the caption. Dr. O’Donnell. It was the specialist the Lamptons hired to look after their daughter.
“What strange illness? Are you nuts?” Mr. Lampton fired back.
Mrs. Lampton rushed toward her daughter and knelt beside her. “Are you okay hunny?”
Dianna slowly lifted her head. Alex noticed the swelling underneath her eyes and how she kept stroking her neck. Her hair was tied into a loose bun and her deep blue eyes communicated weariness.
Suddenly, Dianna opened her mouth and began to puff out more blood. Alex rushed toward her side and began to press her cleavage.
“Hey, what are you doing!” Mrs. Lampton who was kneeling opposite Alex cried out.
She noticed the way Alex’s hand was going up and down her daughter’s bosom and she had what thing in mind.
Sexual harassment!
“Get this man away from my daughter.”
Alex didn’t stop. He applied more pressure on Dianna’s chest and intensified the massage.
Mr. Lampton was about to charge toward Alex when William stood in his way.
“He’s saving her.” William said seriously.
Dianna groaned and spilled a handful of blood on the white floor.
“He’s making her worse!” Mrs. Lampton said and tried to yank off Alex’s hand from her daughter’s chest. Now she was not afraid of William.
Her daughter is more important!
Alex slowly removed his hand and Dianna sighed in relief. She stopped coughing.
The Lamptons were stunned, this young man did it?
Seeing Dianna is better, Dr. O’Donnell jumped out, he forgot just minute ago, he was trying to flee from here, in case Lamptons would blame him.
“We need to send her to a hospital immediately.” Dr. O’Donnell opined. “She needs to be examined right away before she grows worse.”
Alex pulled off the handkerchief attached to the breast pocket of his suit and began to clean off the particles of blood that fell on his hands.
“There’s no need to take her to a hospital,” Alex told Dr. O’Donnell.
“And who the hell are you?” Dr. O’Donnell retorted with his hands on his hips.
Alex ignored him and turned to the maiden who was now calm.
Alex moved to the bin by the edge of the door and threw the handkerchief inside. He turned to the maiden. “I need you to prepare Cicada. I want it fried.”
Dr. O’Donnell broke into a dry laugh. “Don’t tell me you want to give fried Cicada to Dianna. How can you cure someone with fried Cicada?”
Mrs. Lampton helped Dianna get up on the floor and then helped her lay with her back on the bed.
“What are you insinuating Alex?” Mr. Lampton countered. “At this point, I agree with Dr. O’Donnell. We need to transfer Dianna to a hospital ASAP.”
“Yes.” Mrs. Lampton agreed with a nod.
Alex sighed. “I need you guys to trust me. The fried Cicada will work.” He maintained and turned to the patient who was breathing heavily but regularly.
“Well, as a professional, I guarantee you guys that he’s talking nonsense.” Dr. O’Donnell stated.
William stepped up. “Listen to me, Mr. and Mrs. Lampton. Alex is someone I trust and believe me when I say I’m ready to vouch for his competence if he requests anything. Please do provide it because, at the end of the day, we all want Dianna to get better.”
Dr. O’Donnell broke out laughing. He turned to William. “You must be crazy.”
Mrs. Lampton was shocked by the way Dr. O’Donnell responded to William. Without second thoughts, Mr. Lampton walked up to Dr. O’Donnell and slapped him on the face.

Alex stepped forward, his eyes locked on Williams'. "Please, Williams, don't involve the police. Elisa's already lost everything."Williams' expression remained stern, but a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes. "You're defending her after what she did?"Alex nodded. "I know she made a mistake, but she's still part of your company. Think of the scandal, the damage to your reputation."Williams' gaze lingered on Elisa's crumbling form before returning to Alex. "You're right. But she can't go unpunished.""I agree," Alex said. "But let's handle this internally. You could take away her privileges or something."Williams' brow furrowed, weighing the options.

You're...looking well yourself."Elisa's smile never wavered. "I'm feeling fabulous, thanks for asking.

Mark's mind wandered back to the humiliating encounter with William, his stomach churning with resentment."Apologize to Alex?" Mark thought, replaying the conversation in his head. "For what? For him showing up where he wasn't wanted?"The memory of Alex's smug expression and condescending tone still grated on Mark's nerves."Why did I let him push me around like that?" Mark wondered, feeling a surge of anger.He recalled Alex's smirk, the kid's knowing glint that said, "I've got the upper hand." Mark's frustration boiled over."What did I do to deserve this?" Mark asked himself, feeling victimized.The apology still lingered in his mind, a bitter taste he couldn't shake."I shouldn't have done it," Mark thought, regret gnawing at him. "I should have stood my ground."Mark's thoughts swirled with "what ifs" and "maybes," but one thing was certain: he wouldn't let William or Alex walk all over him again.The pain of that apology still lingered, but Mark vowed to transform it into fuel
