"Coming from someone that doesn't give a fuck about his father. Don't you think that's a dumbass thing to say?" Doctor Escobar spoke in a placating tone. Tables turned. He suddenly became in charge of the situation. He was finally able to neutralize Dexter's ego
Whispering into Doctor Escobar's ears, Kelly said. "What the fuck do you think you're doing? Are you aware that George is inside? Get the damn keys from Dexter and get him out,"
"Take a chill pill
I got this. It's nothing for you to worry about," Doctor Escobar assured Kelly. In the process of trying to create the assurance, he got Kelly more confused.
"I Sincerely don't understand what's going on. Can you please explain!?" Kelly begged. Doctor Escobar was already messing with his head.
"I guess I have seen enough already. What the heck do you want from me? You haven't said anything significant since. I thought you wanted the damn keys? Why do you keep rejecting it?" Dexter raged.
He thought Doctor Escobar would be a walk in the park. He had no idea that Doctor Escobar came with a different ball game.
"It's quite simple.
You locked the ward, didn't you? Now I want you to open it yourself," Doctor Escobar authorized with a commanding tone.
After hearing Doctor Escobar's voice, George was relieved. He became satisfied seeing Doctor play the Fatherly role he failed at.
"Excuse me?" Dexter widened his mouth astonishingly.
"Of course, you are excused," Doctor Escobar giggled. He was loving every bit of the moment.
With admiration, Kelly watched Doctor Escobar display his ruthlessness. It was a side that Kelly hadn't witnessed before. For some minute, he envied Doctor Escobar and wished he possessed a bit of the ruthlessness.
"Just so you know, I got a kid that acts like you. But guess what? I put him in his place. Now, he's the coolest being that ever existed. I am pretty sure yours won't be an exception," Doctor Escobar made the shocking revelation.
It was now clear to Kelly where Doctor Escobar drew the inspiration from.
"Who cares if you got a kid that acts like me? That's not enough to make me bend to your wish. Perhaps, you want to start a trouble you can't finish," Dexter retaliated. He was starting to regain his momentum again.
"I see what you trying to achieve with this. Hopefully, we see how it's gonna end," like a wise man, Escobar spoke in parables to confuse Dexter.
"Pay attention to him, Dexter. You don't have to argue over this. Trust me, it's pointless," George spoke from inside. As much as he enjoyed how Doctor Escobar scolded Dexter, he still wanted the drama to end
"Stay out of this, Dad.
This has got nothing to do with you," Dexter yelled at George.
Reaching out for his phone, Doctor Escobar started dialing some numbers on his phone. No one could tell what his next move was
"And what are you to up now? I just hope it's not what I'm thinking about right now?" Dexter raised the alarm.
"I don't care what you're thinking about. I am not ready to explain either," Escobar gave a cold response.
That was the only thing he said before proceeding with the telephone conversation. He put the conversation on a loudspeaker to get everyone involved.
"Is that the police department?" He spoke gently.
At that point, Dexter was already peeing in his panties. He hates the mention of the cops regardless of his ruthlessness.
Dexter was damn certain that once arrested, his father won't make any move to grant his bail. On several occasions, that has happened to Dexter. This time, he's trying his best not to fall into the same situation anymore.
"Hang up the damn phone. I am ready to comply," Dexter pleaded. He was getting ready to unlock the ward with the key. He showed Doctor Escobar just to prove how serious he was.
"I would call you back.
There seems to be a new development," Doctor Escobar told the cops over the phone and ended the telephone conversation.
He stayed quiet, placed his hands behind him, and waited for Dexter to proceed. " I am waiting for you. Don't make me wait for eternity,"
"I am trying," Dexter sweated. The keys suddenly became too heavy for Dexter as they kept dropping to the ground
"How long do we keep waiting for you to do this, Dexter? I didn't expect this to be a difficult task for you. So what happened?" Kelly yelled at Dexter. He utilized the opportunity to hit back at Dexter for those times the latter publicly disrespected him.
Dexter couldn't talk back at Dexter because he perfectly understood the kind of situation he just found himself in. He figured that yelling badly at Kelly would worsen the situation.
After several failed attempts, Dexter was finally able to unlock the door. His face was sweaty as he told Dexter, "I've finally been able to open the ward. Can I leave now?"
Doctor Escobar made an awkward glance without uttering a word. Despite his silence, Dexter was able to depict the message he was trying to pass.
Without further delay, Dexter dashed outside the hospital. He wasn't concerned about seeing his father.
"Who the hell are you? " Kelly was still in shock. He never thought that Doctor Escobar would be able to handle the situation like that. He did it effortlessly without dropping a sweat. The brilliant act from Doctor Escobar got Kelly thinking if George was truly Dexter's biological Father.
"I am a doctor and a father.
I told you I was gonna handle it, didn't I? Are you pleased now?" Doctor Escobar smiled. He was very proud of what he did.
"More than pleased.
There's so much I gotta learn from you. I should start paying for some classes," Kelly said.
His hilarious response cracked the Doctor, forcing him to laugh so hard. "Please don't start. Let's go inside. We have a patient who needs urgent attention. I bet he's overstressed lately,"
"Am I interrupting anything interesting? This place looks quiet. Why do I have a feeling that you all suddenly stopped talking because I walked in? Are you all discussing me? I might just walk away if my presence is making you all uncomfortable." Kelly asked with seriousness. The sudden silence in the room worries him so much. He could have sworn that he heard some voices when he was still outside. "Kelly, please stop. Stop drawing unnecessary conclusions. It doesn't even make sense to me. This has nothing to do with you. Why do you think everything is always about you, huh? The least you could have done was to ask. This is not the way to go about this." George fumed at Kelly. Not even the news of Dexter's arrest made him react that way. He poured out his frustration at Kelly as he was the one who got Dexter arrested. "Okay. I guess it's not about me after all. At least, I know I am safe,' Kelly sighed.Another awkward glance from George fueled another suspicion."What? Stop starin
Slowly, Ciara walked to the door and opened it. She stood at the door entrance to ensure that Walters didn't force himself inside the house. "You look stunning tonight. What the heck am I saying? You always look stunning. But tonight, it's different." They were the first words of Walters, immediately he saw Ciara. He couldn't get his eyes off her as though that were the first time meeting each other. The plan was to flatter Ciara and make her fall for Walters again. Sadly, it wasn't working. Ciara already knew what his intentions were. "What do you want?" She shunned his flattering words and went straight to the point. She can't deny the fact that Walters himself looks good. Due to what's at stake, she couldn't admit it. "I just want us to talk. Can I at least come inside let's have a decent conversation?" Walters begged. He sounded sorrowful like the biblical prodigal son who showed up to his father's house after wasting his inheritance. "You want us to talk?" She giggled and
Peeping through the tiny hole from inside, Ciara spotted a familiar face at her doorstep, holding a flower bouquet. He was dressed in a dark suit as though he were heading for a dinner date. It was a face that brought back old memories. He was the last person Ciara expected to see at that crucial time. This was the moment Ciara wished it was Derek. She felt that his presence was more significant than the person outside. "I can't believe it's Walters that's standing outside my doorstep. He is even dressed in a suit. What exactly does he want from me? I thought I would never set my eyes on him ever again. Why didn't he reach out to me personally? For crying out loud, it's 8:20 PM. Is he that jobless?Doesn't he have important places to be at this time? Why come to my house? What if my Father was around?" Ciara lamented in a low tone. Too many mysteries surrounding the presence of Walters, her ex-boyfriend. They haven't spoken to each other since Walters called off their relationshi
"I said nasty things about you in your absence that shouldn't have been said. I allowed my emotions and anger to control me. Now I am regretting every one of my actions," Tony confessed, yet failed to hit the nail on the head. He got Lucas and everyone confused."I don't understand what you are talking about. You still haven't told me what I need to hear. Can you please go straight to the point? You are not even making sense right now," Lucas fumed. He pretends not to know what Tony says about him. He wanted Tony to admit it himself. "I kind of pulled out of the plan to prosecute Dexter in your absence. Not just pulling out, I also tried forcing everyone to make the same decision," Tony finally took the courage to speak up. It was the most difficult task of his life. He would have sworn that he was never going to say that. To everyone's surprise, Lucas didn't react to Tony's confession, nor did he confront Tony. Instead, Lucas laughed and shook his head in pity. Tony got more scar
"But why didn't she tell me before? What game is she trying to play with me? Why does it have to be now? No, I disagree. I need to unravel the real truth in this." Officer Lucas asked himself rhetorically as his voice echoed back to him. Plenty of unanswered questions roam inside his head with no one around to provide the answers. "Now I see what Nurse Elizabeth is trying to achieve with this. She wants to manipulate me with some fake pregnancy, isn't it? There's no way I am letting her get away with it. Time to show her that I am smarter than she can ever imagine," Officer Lucas thought to himself. He doesn't want to believe that everything happening is a coincidence already. Five years of relationship and it happened to be their first-ever fight. And it turned out to be worse. To think that Officer Lucas already making plans to propose marriage to Nurse Elizabeth. He already contacted the event planning for the engagement party. He intends to make it the most memorable night o
"Exactly what you heard, Romeo. This is crazy. It's against my belief. I can't imagine myself being a partaker of something that's against my faith," Tony confirmed his decision to back out. His lips weren't shaking either, and his legs were struggling to stand firm on the ground. He didn't stutter or mince words. It was as though he'd been waiting for this moment all his life to express his dissatisfaction. "Your beliefs?" Romeo giggled. He paced around the office and returned a few seconds later. "Please tell me this is a joke. It's too early to joke with a situation like this," Romeo doubted Tony. Despite the seriousness on Tony's face, Romeo still didn't think he meant every damn word he said. "I wouldn't utter a word to you anymore. I rather wait for the officer to show up. Perhaps, you are going to believe me when I say it to his face," Tony stated and stepped backwards. Those were the only words he uttered. "he's serious about it," Romeo muttered in disbelief. Tony was t
