Natasha began the process from the beginning again, unlike before when the man's eyes opened instantly, it took more than forty seconds before the old man coughed his way back to live. When he opened his eyes again, he said to Natasha, "you are my savior, thank you and I'll reward you."
Natasha smiled, "don't bother, sir. I'm only helping." Seeing that the man was trying to stand, she spoke, "please relax, sir. The pin will be removed in another fifteen minutes and then you can stand and be able to do whatever you wish to do."
"Really? I haven't being able to stand and walk in months." Mr. Pushkin said. Gratitude was written all over the man's face. The old man couldn't wait to stand.
Fifteen minutes went by quickly and then, Natasha carefully removed the pins and helped the old man up. The old man stood and walk to the surprise of everyone present in the ward. Even Violet was shocked. She has no believe in pseudoscience. She didn't believe anything outside of science but seeing this happen before her, she couldn't hide her surprise.
As the old man walked happily to and fro, a gentle smile spread across Natasha's lips. She was glad she's able to help. All of a sudden, her mind trailed back to her kids. It's been more than an hour that she left them.
"Excuse me." She immediately excused herself and went to attend to her children. Whereas, at the ward, Mr. Pushkin was still jubiliating. To him, this was a miracle. He thought it was over for him and that the sickness would probably take his life, he didn't expect that a miracle would happen.
The atmosphere suddenly changed and even Mr. Pushkin noticed it. He knew the only person that has the power to change the atmosphere wherever he steps his foot on. That was his first grandson, Dmitry.
Seeing Dmitry standing a step away from the door, he walked closer to him, "Dmitry, see... I'm better now."
Dmitry squinted his almond shaped emerald eyes, "how is that possible?"
"Well, a miracle Doctor healed me." The man twisted his body for his grandson to see that he was fine now. The old man was acting like a playful little child. He was so happy.
Seeing his old man in such a happy mood makes Dmitry heavily burned heart ease up a little. For he has been frazzled as a result of his grandfather's ill health. His grandfather means so much to him.
"Grandfather, please sit." Although his grandfather could walk now, he still looks fragile. And seeing how he's jubilating with his not-fully-strong body, Dmitry thought he may fall.
He had been able to walk over to his grandfather and was now helping him to sit. Although Mr. Pushkin didn't really want to, he still had to do as his grandson said.
"Today is the happiest day of my life. Who would have believe I can stand?" Asked Mr. Pushkin.
"Who is this miracle doctor?" Dmitry asked.
"Talking of the miracle Doctor..." Mr. Pushkin made a gesture, signalling for his grandson to sit beside him. Dmitry went to sit beside the old man quietly, expecting him to answer his question. "I'm not fully fine. For me to be fully fine, the miracle Doctor has to be on our beck and call."
"Or course," answered Dmitry.
"And she's so beautiful and gracious. If I were a youth, I'll take her in as my wife," Mr. Pushkin said.
Dmitry sensed where his father was heading to and said, "grandfather, the past eight months of you being on sickbed had been a torture for me but at other other end, it's a bit peaceful for me cause there's no one to nag me about getting married."
"You have just recovered and you are already talking about marriage. I can't marry this miracle doctor," Dmitry answered bluntly.
"I confirmed today that you never loved me." Mr. Pushkin began to cry and then uttered in the middle of his sobbing , "Despite all I did for you when you were young. Is this how you'll repay me? You want me to die, right?"
"Of course not." Dmitry answered. He knew his grandfather wanted to bribe him with his tears but one of the many things that doesn't move him is tears. Cry a river and he won't be moved. "The miracle could still be at our beck and call if we offer her a huge sum of money and make her sign a contract."
"I want her in our family." The old man stood and went to swiftly remove a knife from the back pocket of one of his escorts. Placing the knife in his arm, the man said, "I'll cut my wrist and die now. It will be said that your disobedience leads to your father's death." Mr. Pushkin threatened.
This is the third year that an horrible incident had befallen his grandson and since then, he had sworn never to have anything to do with women. Mr. Pushkin had done everything to make him marry but he had refused.
Seeing his grandfather's death threat, Dmitry stood. "I won't marry her cause of this death threat drama playing before me."
The old man's eyes fell. He wondered how his son had grown so heartless.
"I'll marry her." Dmitry says. He had other reasons to but his grandfather isn't even on the list. He had suddenly thought about it.
The old man suddenly dropped the knife and ran to hug his son, "you are such a considerate grandson. I know you love your grandfather secretly." He disengaged from the hug and went back to sit.
"Now bring me the marriage certificate as soon as possible," commanded Mr. Pushkin.
"That shouldn't be a problem. In return, you have to ensure you rest very well. I'll speak to the miracle Doctor on what your next treatment should be."
The old man nodded and laid, smiling. He wasn't actually going to kill himself. He didn't wake up miraculously from his unconscious state to come and kill himself cause of an obstinate grandson. However, he thinks Dmitry might find happiness again with the miracle Doctor. There is something inexplicable about the miracle Doctor that he can't fathom, perhaps, his grandson will do.
Now he can't wait to receive the marriage certificat
e and bless the union of his grandson and the miracle Doctor.
"I could swear I heard something." Dmitry said as he walked closer. "And that sound isn't coming from you." Then he looked around suspiciously. All these while, Natasha became so scared that her heart was literally on her throat struggling to fall off her mouth. Dmitry suddenly noticed that the flower vase seems out of place so he approached it carefully. He then instinctively took the vases away. Natasha walked closer at once and spoke, "I can explain!"The kids could be seen crawling out of where they had been hid. The expression on Dmitry's face had become a murderous one. "Dad, it's not miss. Natasha's fault. It's ours." Marcus spoke immediately. He could tell that Dmitry was angry. Truth was, as a little child, he had never seen Dmitry with such a cold-stone face. Dmitry swallowed and then called Yuri, once he answered, he said, "I already found the kids."Then he held the hands of the twin and lead them out gently. He didn't even spare Natasha another glance. After he had l
Natasha's heart flew a hundred meters away. She looked at her two kids that were seated comfortably on the seat.Marcus jumped up from the bed at once, "we must leave immediately," he said to Rose.Rose also stepped down. This time, Natasha was already standing. "Gen, I need you to hide these kids for me."Gen looked around the pretty large office but there's no hiding space there. Everywhere was exposed."Will under the table do?" Natasha asked Gen."It's still exposing ma." Gen Ichiro answered. "I think he will easily see them there."Then the sound of a knock came through the door. Natasha's heart raced at the sound of the knock. She knew it was definitely Dmitry at the door."Just cover them with something, they are little."Gen nodded and then led the two kids under the table then he quickly grabbed the vases of flowers around and used it in covering the open space.Then at Natasha's gesture, he went ahead and opened the door for Dmitry.Dmitry then stepped in, Gen stayed around
After a long while, the door gave way and Anthony Roosevelt appeared. Natasha stood upright in shock. She had almost lost all hope, thinking that Anthony Roosevelt wouldn't come.His face was calm, "I inquired from the men that are keeping you here why you were here and I was told it was on Dmitry's command.""Yes... Dmitry locked me up here cause he found me beating his fianceé," Natasha stated.Anthony Roosevelt tucked his two hands in his suit Pocket and spoke, "and why will you do that?""She did some hurtful things in the past. I can never forgive her," Natasha said. "I can't just start pounding her without a reason. That woman is a heartless murderer."Anthony sighed. "This must be a personal issue to Dmitry, I do not think I should intervene." He said thoughtfully. After a few seconds, he added, "I'll see what I can do."Then he turned, about to walk away, Natasha quickly spoke, "you once asked if I'd like to be your friend, is the offer still available?"Natasha had thought th
Natasha Kicked her heavily in the tummy, Ruby yelled in pain. She he was forced to arch her back as a result of how intense the pain was in her tummy. The more Natasha remembered how Naomi was tortured, the more her anger fuels. She kneed her on the face and threw a heavy blow to her nose. Ruby, with a face full of blood, fell to the floor, screaming in pain. Unknown to Natasha, Dmitry was already standing by his car and watching how Natasha was beating Ruby. With a clenched fist, he walked towards the scene and shouted in rage, "Natasha!" Natasha, who had already squatted above Ruby and was hitting her repeatedly on the face, paused and turned, seeing Dmitry, her anger subsided slowly. This time, Ruby was barely breathing. Natasha stood from Ruby, panting heavily. Dmitry placed a call across to the ambulance and in a few minutes, they came around and took Ruby away. All these while, Dmitry had not said a word but one could tell that he was very angry."Have you gone insane?" Dm
Rose and Marcus spend the rest of the hour with Natasha. Natasha played monopoly with the kids as well as chess, they laughed and joked in the process. At the end of the hour, one could tell that the relationship between Natasha and the kids had softened. Natasha was able to drop the kids two houses before theirs so that she won't be seen but she waited until the kids went towards the house. "Where have you guys been?" Natasha, who was yet to start the ignition of the car heard a loud female voice. She swiftly stepped down from the parked car and walked swiftly to see what was going on. She was surprised to see Ruby standing before the two kids. "I asked where you guys went to? At this time of the night, huh? This is 10:15PM." Rose looked at Marcus not knowing what to say, "you do not have to shout at us." Marcus said, looking at her. "The fuck! Since when did you grow balls to talk to me this way?" Ruby asked angrily. "Watch the words you are saying, my little sister is here,"
Zara almost buried herself alive, she was covered in shame that she didn't know whether to cry or die. She looked at Huxley as if expecting him to defend her but Huxley was quiet. Zara set her gaze back on Natasha."Natasha, you sure know how to lie through your teeth," she said. "I legally married your father after your mother's unfortunate death." "Is that true?" Natasha asked rhetorically. "How then is it possible that your daughter who is as old as I am turns out to be for my father?" Natasha asked. Zara's mouth shivered in fear. She looked around the numerous cameras that was set on her. She can't deny publicly that Ruby isn't Lewis Ivan's biological daughter. If she denies it, then she must return all of Lewis's Ivan's properties. Yet, her image will be forever damaged, she will be tagged as an adulterer if she did not deny what Natasha said about her committing adultery with her father. Zara suddenly broke down into tears, "Natasha, despite how hard I had worked to give you
Natasha turned back in shock. She was stunned to see the person she least expected. Thought he was still in prison? Huxley stood gallantly, dressed in a deep black navy suit. He looked glamorous and a little fleshy than he was five years ago. Also, he had more beards than five years ago. Wow! Natasha was stunned at the new Huxley. "Out of prison already?" Huxley smirked. Before he could say a word, Zara appeared and held Huxley by the hand, she leaned on him and said, "hubby, you are buying it for me, right?" Hubby? What's going on here? Zara is almost twice older than Huxley. While Huxley is in his early thirties, Zara is fifty plus but with the way Zara is leaning on him, it seems they are in some sort of weird relationship. Huxley looked at Zara and smiled sweetly, "anything for you, my woman." He even kissed her on the lips.Although Zara looked smart and younger, in fact , one would think Zara is in her thirties too. That may be a result of plastic surgery. And of course, she
Dmitry watched as she got inside her car and drove away. Truth was, from the first day he sighted her, he had been wondering why she had the same resemblance with Rose. Ruby on the other end had no resemblance with any of her kids. Could it be that he was deceived? Although he already has a DNA test at home that proves that Ruby is the mother of his kids but now that he's beginning to think about it, what if it was forged?Dmitry sighed. He set his gaze on the grave yards of Valentina and Tatiana and his hurts deeply again. The only family he has now is his grandfather and ...his new best friend. Five years ago, he had found himself drowning inside the sea. He didn't know how he got there nor did he remember anything about himself. About to drown to death, he saw someone swim towards him and then helped him to the brink of the sea. He sat weakly on the sea sand and gaped at the horrible injuries in his body. There were all sorts of deep scars and he didn't even know how he had sust
"If there's no cure, then you are useless to me," Dmitry said. Natasha observed him for some seconds and said lowly, "you've changed, Dmitry." Dmitry brought out his phone and placed a call across to Yuri who answered immediately, "send two men to my location." "What if I'm innocent?" Natasha asked with a sullen look. Dmitry ignored her and walked a few meters away from her, he was now leaning on his car but he kept his eyes on her. Natasha walked closer to him and said, "I can work on helping you recover your memory." "How can I trust you?" Dmitry questioned. "Cause I've once helped someone in the west recover their memory, I believe I can do the same for you," Natasha said. She didn't want to get into an unnecessary conflict with him for she had her own men too. Since Dmitry had called Yuri to send two men over, she could just call Gen to send ten men over but what's the point of engaging in a bloody battle? What if she gets hurt in the process? "But you said a few seconds a
