The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree

"I am fine.
You have to worry yourself about me.
It's just my chest. I will pass," George lied.
"I just need a chilled glass of water and I will be fine," George added.
However, his facial expressions didn't correlate with his response. He was struggling to breathe while assuring himself that he is fine.
"And you expect me to believe you? Come on, George. You don't seem good to me. Do you want me to call a doctor?" Kelly suggested. He's been friends with George all his life, and he definitely knows when George is telling the truth.
"Are you two still arguing about this? We don't have luxury of time to waste here. It's obvious that Mr. Cooper needs to see a doctor immediately. Can't you see he's struggling to breathe?" Ciara chipped in after a brief silence. The only time and spoke was the moment she noticed the unusual behavior of George.
"Don't do that.
I insist that I am fine, and it should remain that way. If I needed help from anyone of you, I would definitely ask."
George objected against Ciara's suggestion.
It was starting to get heated between the two of them as no one wants to admit to their flaws.
"I can't take this anymore. I have got to do something. If anything bad happens to you, I won't forgive myself," Ciara finally took the decision to go get help, hence disobeying George's order. She was gone before George had the opportunity to speak, to call her back.
"What kind of daughter do you have? She's so stubborn, just like you," George teased Kelly. His breathing was slowly becoming normal again. Although, it wasn't enough proof that he was getting better either.
"What else can I say?
The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I believe she learned from the best," Kelly bragged, while pointing to himself.
He might not have uttered it, but his actions showed that he was proud of what Ciara. To think Dexter insulted the hell out of Ciara, she still refused to narrow all the hatred towards George.
"Here she comes already," George exclaimed immediately Ciara walked in with the company's security. One would have expected her to show up with a doctor, perhaps a rescue team; considering how she hurriedly ran outside.
"Marcus, what is in heaven's name are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at your duty post? Because that's where you belong," George fumed.
As he yelled at Marcus, he started coughing again. This time, it became worse to take point where he held his chest.
"See what I am talking about? Please come assist me let's get him to the hospital immediately," Ciara commanded. She appears to be in charge more than Kelly, her father.
The way she handled the situation makes George wants to start questioning his approach to parenthood.
Until they drove to the hospital, George won't stop glaring at Ciara in the utmost confusion. He suddenly forgot about his health and considered Ciara to be his top priority.
"Please stay here with my father while I go get the doctor," Ciara urged George the moment they arrived at the reception
"Please I, need to see the doctor. We've got an emergency," Ciara lodged the complaint.
"Once I am back on my feet, we are going to do a DNA test to confirm if Ciara is my biological daughter. The way she looks after me, I can't explain that. She proved what it feels like to have a child who adores you," George wept. It was meant to be one of his silly jokes until he suddenly remembers that Dexter would continue to be his son.
"The doctor would be here shortly. He's currently in the theater room. If you don't mind, I could come find out what the problem is," The nurse in the counter spoke. She offered to help out in the absence of the doctor.
"That's fine.
I've got issues with that. Do come with me," Ciara accepted the nurse's offer to help out as they both rushed back to attend to George, who seemed to be having a hard time adjusting to Earth.
"What's going on?
I got a call from one of the nurses for a case of emergency," a masculine voice spoke. His outfit and charisma showed a bit of hint that he was the doctor.
"Doctor Escobar, thank goodness you are. This man here needs urgent attention. It seems like he is having a heart attack," the Nurse notified doctor Escobar on George's heart challenge.
"Heart attack?
Let's find out about that.
I can't really say anything for now,"
Doctor Escobar said. He was doesn't close to George and did a quick check in his body.
"This doesn't look too good on you," Escobar nodded his head sideways.
"How long have you been having this heart attack?" Escobar asked after completing the check on him.
"Just today." George responded.
"Hold on a second, what happened to me was a heart attack? Damn! I never saw that coming," George facepalms.
"You already got your answer.
Do come with me. But first, I need to speak with a family member to sign the consent form," Doctor Escobar requested.
"A consent form?"
They all asked in unison.
"Yes, the consent form.
That's the only way we can commence treatment immediately. For now, we are going to have to admit you an and also keep an eye on you," he added.
George was lost for words.
He knew the only person that could help him sign the consent form was Dexter, first son.
Hypothetically, Dexter was the reason George suddenly developed a heart attack. It becomes more scary that George recently had an outburst.
Tables turned now George needs Dexter to come sign the form to help him get treatment immediately.
From their recent altercation, it might seem entirely different to convince him to come.

Married To My Enemy; Loved By His Brother The Defense Counsel
"Can you defend what you just told me in the presence of Dexter and Jaguar? I hope you do know what you are getting yourself into. I wouldn't want you to shoot yourself in the legs. Perhaps, you should think about this again. Just so you know, I don't forgive." Lucas tasked Rhoda to prepare her mind ahead It wasn't a good day for Rhoda in the office. She was already feeling the heat of Lucas. It was the question that Rhoda had avoided while Lucas stood right in front of her. She has no idea that Lucas would be suddenly interested in the case. Now she's thinking about how she's gonna pay Dexter and Jaguar to speak in her favor just to avoid being suspended by Romeo. "I asked you a question, Rhoda. Can you defend what you just told me in the presence of Dexter and Jaguar? You haven't said anything significant since I summoned you to my office. And what's with the silent treatment? You should know it's an act that I detest so much." Lucas roared at Rhoda just when she thought he had
Married To My Enemy; Loved By His Brother The Juicy Offer
"Finally, someone is interested in my juicy offer. I thought you were never going to agree to this," Jaguar laughed as his boys joined him to mock Rhoda. Rhoda felt insulted and humiliated. Her forehead was becoming red, but she wasn't bothered. $5,000 would go a long way in her life, and if getting insulted was part of the criteria for owning such an amount, she would be ready to endure the humiliation. "Please don't listen to him. You're a super cop. This isn't who you are," Dexter cried from his cell. He's been listening to their conversation, waiting for the right time to speak. And when the opportunity finally arrived, he jumped on it as though it was nobody's business. "And who gives you the right to decide what's best for me? Stay out of this, you son of a bitch," Rhoda shut Dexter out. The spirit of greed had already possessed her soul, and she couldn't possibly do anything about it. "How much is he offering you? I am willing to double it just to avoid sharing the same cel
Married To My Enemy; Loved By His Brother Twist Of Fate
"What a twist. Who could have seen that coming? Absolutely no one. Look who's gonna be spending another night in detention. What a shame! Should I get you a roll of tissue, or will you be fine eventually?" Rhoda mocked Dexter shortly after Derek's departure. Rhoda was elated that she finally got her bragging rights again after the stress that Derek made her go through after he demanded to speak with Dexter. The act from Derek stunned Rhoda and left her asking questions that were never answered. It was something she never saw coming. Judging from the way Derek caused havoc, she thought he would grant Dexter's bail. Surprisingly, none of that happened. Instead, Derek made Dexter a ridiculous offer that might be difficult for him to comply with. "Just go I've had enough for the day already. Right now, I just wanna be left alone. Is that too much for that to happen?" Dexter requested, facing the ground. He was too ashamed to look Rhoda in the eyes after what happened recently. The
Married To My Enemy; Loved By His Brother Derek's Desires
"Hi, brother. Surprised to see me?" Derek smiled as he welcomed Dexter with open arms.Dexter left his mouth astonishingly widened in a fly-catching position.He never thought that someone would eventually come to bail him out, let alone his brother, who's considered his worst enemy. "I would understand if you don't want to speak to me. You never thought that I would show up, right?" Derek scoffed. "Please be seated. I didn't come for drama. Remember, we only got fifteen minutes left according to the female cop," Derek reminded Dexter. "How's Dad doing? Has he been discharged from the hospital yet?" Dexter asked immediately after he sat down. Derek sighed and stood up. He faced the wall and returned to Dexter with a sad face. The look on Derek's face wasn't encouraging for Dexter. "Derek, where's Dad? And Why are you acting this way?" Dexter cried. He thought something bad had happened to his Father. "Is Father Dead?" Dexter tossed the question that had been on his lips for

"Stay right here while I go get your brother. I understand that you can't wait to see him already."Lucas told Derek after they arrived at a small room set aside for prisoners to receive their respective visitors."Hold on a second, officer. I need to get something straight," Derek stopped Lucas as he was about to leave. "What the fuck do you want from me again? Aren't you satisfied already? I thought I already agreed for you to see your brother?" Lucas fumed. Derek was getting on his nerves and he wasn't pleased about it."Put your shit down, cop. If you continue acting like this, you might suffer a panic attack. I just want to be certain that you aren't playing games with me. Because if that's what you want to do, then be prepared to dance to the tune," Derek warned Lucas."Are you threatening me now? Are you aware that I could have You arrested for threatening an officer of the law?" Lucas fired back."Who gives a fuck about what you do? I was only trying to make common sense. J
Married To My Enemy; Loved By His Brother George,The Betrayer
"I still don't know how long you are gonna pretend like your friend isn't causing this family so much damage. Ever since he came into your life, things have never been the same anymore. I hate to admit this to you, Dad. I am just gonna say it anyway. If you ever care about your family, cut ties with George immediately," "You want me to cut ties with my best friend? Is this a joke or are you meaning it?" Kelly forced a laughter that didn't come from his mind. Ciara didn't respond. All she did was grab her phone that was kept on the bed. She wasn't interested in discussing the situation anymore. It has become crystal clear to her that her Father would never reach a compromise with her regardless of his effort. "I thought you wanted this for us? You were the one that has been crying for a destiny helper. You wanted someone to rewrite the family's history of poverty. Fortunately for us, we found one. Rather than embracing the moment, you wanna ruin everything? Make this make sense to m
