Benjamin_JnrHello! Author here. I'm incredibly sorry for the lack of updates recently. I've been so occupied with some issues lately, and wasn't able to update. I also had to edit some of the previous chapters before posting these ones, so this also contributed to the lack of update. I appreciate you all for sticking with this novel. I'll definitely try to increase my update schedule this month. Thank you.

“What do you mean by you lost him?!” The chief police officer in charge of the kidnapping case yelled into the walkie-talkie.The police officer with the walkie-talkie grimaced at his superior’s harsh tone. He knew that they would be receiving an earful the moment he returned from the search.“It’s exactly what I said chief. There’s no track anymore. We can’t find him at all. It’s almost as if he just disappeared from the forest.” The police officer replied bitterly.“And you want me to believe that?!” The chief police officer yelled angrily.“Chief-”“Never mind. I shouldn’t have trusted you lot with something so important. Come back now; and don’t let me wait for you more than necessary!” The chief police officer yelled furiously and ended the conversation.The police officer sighed and raised his head to the other police officers before yelling.“Stop searching and pack up! We’re going back!”The police officers obeyed his orders and started packing, and in less than a minute, the

The moment the doctor exited the operation theatre; Alice, Darius’ grandfather and Bruce all rushed forward to meet him. They were very anxious about the outcome of the surgery, and the last few hours of wait was very torturous to them.“How is my grandson?! Is he okay?!” Darius’ grandfather asked in a voice that left no room for a negative response.The doctor gulped when faced with Darius’ grandfather’s questioning. He didn’t know much about the old man in front of him, but from his regal demeanor, he could tell that he was not someone he could offend. His years of experience as a surgeon told him that.“Your grandson is very alright sir. The surgery was a 100% success; and it’s only a matter of time before he is back to full health.” The doctor said carefully, afraid that any of his words would anger the old man in front of him.Luckily; the old man didn’t get angry at his words, and only breathed out a sigh of relief. Alice also made use of this opportunity to slip away from Dariu

Greg and his friends’ astonishment were very understandable; as the person who entered the room was none other than Janet Fox, the number two beauty in Kingston University! Janet was dressed casually, her blonde hair tied into a lazy ponytail. However, her casual dress did nothing to hide her ethereal like beauty and her hourglass shape. Her beauty was even more pronounced by the casual clothing she wore. “Darius! What happened to you?” Janet asked worriedly the moment she entered the room, and did something completely shocking the next moment and threw herself right on to Darius who lay on the bed! Greg, Marcus and Rudd all had extremely shocked expression on their faces, like they had just seen a fish run on land. This was the second ranked beauty in Kingston University! How on earth did Darius manage to get so close to Janet Fox?! Darius was also quite shocked himself, if not more shocked at Janet’s behavior. While they knew each other, they could certainly be called acquaintan

Darius was still in the hospital, but was rapidly recovering due to the effects of the self healing trait the golden liquid gave him.He had been in Serene Hospital for two days now, and according to the doctor, he would be discharged from the hospital in the next two days; and he was recommended to do some light exercises before his discharge. As such, Darius decided to walk around the hospital to heed the doctor’s instruction.The atmosphere in the hospital was serene and tranquil, with the sounds of machines beeping echoing in the hallway.Darius walked unhurriedly, and a melancholic feeling slowly came over him as he walked. He could see the different people suffering from various illnesses restrained to their hospital rooms as he walked.He could hear them speak in sad voices to their loved ones. He was well aware that some of them were having what would be their last conversations as the minutes went by.As he walked slowly, he came in contact with a lady in her early twenties.

There was a look of disbelief on Director Yul’s face when she heard Darius domineering statement.‘Not anymore?’‘What does he mean by not anymore?’‘He’s joking, right?’The doctors, nurses and patients who were attracted by the commotion happening were also shocked at Darius’ statement. They couldn’t understand how someone that was barely in his twenties was claiming to dismiss Director Yul from her duties.Moreover, with the resolute expression on Darius’ face, it didn’t seem like he was joking at all!“You overestimate yourself!” Director Yul stated angrily.“I am the Director of this hospital, so who do you think you are to decide whether I continue to work in this hospital or not?” Director Yul asked angrily.Darius didn’t say anything in response to her question but simply walked away. Vera followed him quite closely, but not before giving Director Yul a cold hard glare.He walked back to his hospital room after parting ways with Vera as she had to tend to her sick mother befor

Just as he concluded his phone call with Erin, he heard a soft knock outside his room.Darius furrowed his eyebrows at the knock, but said calmly.“Come in.”The door opened and a familiar pretty young lady walked in. This young lady was of course Vera.“Hello Darius.” Vera greeted softly, her eyes peeking towards the ground.“Hello Vera. How may I help you?” Darius asked; confusion lacing his tone.Vera pushed forward a basket filled with fruits towards Darius before saying in a shy tone.“I didn’t know that you were admitted to the hospital. I thought that you were here to visit someone who was already sick. I’ve brought these fruits for you to aid your recovery and make you recover quickly.” Vera said shyly.Darius had a small smile on his face after hearing Vera’s words. He stretched his hands and took a fruit from the basket before eating it in her presence.“Thank you.” Darius said as he ate the fruit; and the fact that she thought about him in such a way and even went ahead to

Darius, Director Yul and Vera all turned their direction to the man as he walked inside Darius hospital room.Darius took a closer look at the man who walked into the room. He looked to be in his late thirties, with full black hair and a tall physically fit body, with a white lab coat on. He however had dark circles beneath his eyes, so one could tell that he was either stressed or not getting enough sleep.Darius was surprised at the doctor’s appearance, but took a passive stance as the man would surely have a reason for coming inside his hospital room.Sure enough, it only took a few seconds for the doctor to state the reasons for his appearance.“Hello Mr. Reid. I’m sorry to barge in like this, but I heard all the details from outside the hospital room.” The man said.“My name is Dr. Hills, and I’ve been working as a doctor here for the last ten years.” The man now identified as Dr. Hills said.“Is there a reason for your appearance?” Darius who could not stand someone beating arou

After Director Yul was taken away by the security personnel, Darius made his way back to his hospital room, not sparing the doctors and nurses any glance at all.Now that he was the new owner of the hospital, some of them must naturally have different ideas on how to get close to him; but since he was not planning on actively managing the hospital, he wanted to prevent such situations by all means.Vera and Dr. Hills followed Darius closely as he made his way to his hospital room. Vera was completely smitten by Darius after the whole turn of events, and now saw him as akin to a god. She knew that he was rich after he spent $270,000 to pay her medical bills, but the events today showed her that Darius was not your average rich person.Meanwhile, Dr. Hills was head over hills with joy after Director Yul was kicked out of the hospital. He had so much longed for a day like that to happen, and he was extremely glad that what he wanted finally came to pass.The moment Darius got to his hosp
