last update Last Updated: 2025-10-14 02:14:43

At the hospital, Helen four older brothers: Paul, Zion, Caleb, and Patrick were in the hospital.

Paul was a 37-year-old man and the oldest among them, while Zion was a 35-year-old man, and Caleb was a 33-year-old man, followed by Patrick, who was 31 and older than Helen. They were in the hospital room with their father's lawyer, Mr. Lucas Samson.

"Barrister, we need to prepare my father's will in case he is going to die," Paul said. He wore a red shirt, black trouser and shoes, as he wanted to take over Roberts Pharmaceutical, but his father refused to give it to him, saying that he was reckless and would not manage the company well.

Paul wished that he could strangle his father to death, as he laid on the sick bed. However, he was not the only son, and he had three other brothers who longed to take over the company. But the company had lost a huge fund, which they got to realize.

"Paul, how can you be asking for Dad's company? How do we pay the workers now that Dad lost 50 million from his account to those scammers? We have to get the money back and not fight for who will take over the company," Zion said, as he owned a fashion company, but his company had not been doing well. He wore a white shirt and black trouser as he hadn't thought that his father's pharmaceutical company was worth up to 50 million dollars that was scammed. But now that he knew, he couldn't allow Paul to take over the company. But the company was already equivalent to nothing, as their father had lost all the funding to fake representatives from Kingston's Pharmaceutical.

"How can the two of you be fighting for who will take over Dad's company? Dad is sick, and instead of us to look for a healer for him to wake up and tell us who scammed him and left him with a stroke, yet you two are wrestling for the CEO of a bankrupt company?" Caleb chimed in, as he was an actor and doing well on his own. His two older brothers glared at him as they had hurried from their places of work after their mother called them to tell them that their father couldn't speak again.

Rosemary was in the room, crying as she wore a blue dress and a pair of black shoes. She was seated on a chair in the hospital room, not liking to see her sons quarreling. Now they were fighting for who would take the company.

"I am Dad's first son, and it's my right to take over his company," Paul said, his voice firm and cutting through the tension.

"You all should keep shut and calm down. If you are not here to talk about your father's recovery but his property that you went to invite his lawyer, Barrister Lucas Samson, then you three should leave!" Rosemary yelled, her body trembling as she hadn't eaten since morning.

"Mom!" Patrick rushed over to meet his mother and held her trembling body, and she calmed and coughed.

"Get out, the three of you! You all added to your father's illness and caused him headaches. Since you all have interest in the company, then why not find a healer to cure him? He is getting worse, and we have hundreds of workers to pay at the company! Where do we get the money to pay them from? Get out!" Rosemary yelled again, coughing violently, and her three older sons calmed and walked out of the room.

"Fine, Mom. We will leave and look for a healer for Dad. If the hospital cannot cure him, then we will have to try native means," Paul said, even though he didn't want to try anything on his father. He was waiting for the old man to die to take over everything, since he believed that it was his birthright.

Rosemary scowled and said, "Let me burst your bubbles and make it clear to you all. Your father didn't leave the pharmacy company to any of you four because none of you is a pharmacist. If you had any interest in taking over Robert Pharmaceutical, then you could have studied to become a pharmacist. Instead, you went on pursuing your other dreams. The person your father left his pharmaceutical company to is Helen, and she is the one to inherit it."

"What!..." Paul and his brothers' eyes widened in shock, as they hadn't expected their father to will his company to Helen, their younger sister.

"Mom, how can Dad will his company to Helen? She will get married and forget that she is a member of this family?" Paul said, his voice chilling as blue veins popped out on his neck. He was wearing a red shirt and a pair of black shoes.

"Paul, you are so desperate, and your father believes that you will sell off his company and forget that it was his hard work. That's why he didn't trust you; you have to forget about inheriting that company, even if it were never to fail, it will not be yours," Rosemary said, her body trembling as she glared at her first son. He was so reckless with his spendings and couldn't manage his own company.

After hearing what his mother said, Paul and Zion's expressions turned cold, and Paul yelled, "Since Dad prefers Helen to us, then I am out of here."

Paul left, and Zion muttered, "Mom, why will Dad do that? We invited Barrister Lucas here to read out Dad's will. Why will he input Helen's name as his successor? Dad never believed in a woman furthering her education to the university, and now, he left his pharmaceutical company to Helen!" Zion said, anger coursing through his veins as he couldn't believe his ears. So automatically, if the Roberts Pharmaceutical didn't go bankrupt, did that mean that Helen was the one who would inherit the company?

"Yes. You heard me correctly. Even if Barrister Lucas Samson read your father's will now that he is still alive, you guys aren't the successors because you know nothing about drugs. You will crumble the company or sell it off. So forget about the company and look for a doctor to treat your father!" Rosemary yelled, while Patrick held her.

"Mom, it's okay. You are going to get sick if you continue to shout like this," Patrick said, his voice laced with worry, and Rosemary told him, "Then tell your brothers to leave. They do not care about your father, only his wealth. They should leave my sight."

Rosemary started sobbing, and Patrick looked at Zion and Caleb for them to leave.

"Fine, Mom. Since you do not want us here, go ahead and contact Helen to look for a doctor for Dad, or since she is a pharmacist, let her come and cure him by herself. Why are you all searching for a doctor when your precious daughter can heal him? Huh! I am out of here, and no one should call me again, except to attend Dad's funeral!" Zion spat, as he walked out of the room. The nurses looked at him in shock, as they had hurried over to know what the commotion in the government-owned specialist hospital was all about.

The noises had even magnetized the media's attention, and they were around to capture the news.

    "Mom, where's Dad?" Ruth asked as she walked up to the dining table to meet her mother."He went upstairs. You should go and call him," Stacey said as she set up the dinner around the table."Alright, Mom," Ruth replied happily as she darted back to the stairs and went to the top floor to call her father. Her loud voice resonated in the mansion."Dad, dinner is ready!" Ruth shouted, her voice echoing on the top floor. She was the baby of the house and very playful too.Meanwhile, Samuel took his seat on the chair, and his mother looked at him and smiled."Samuel, is everything alright?" She peered at him curiously."Of course, Mom. I am fine," he replied with a calm voice, and his mother assured him, "Don't worry. I will speak with your father later."Samuel gave a nod and waited for his father to join him for dinner. The sound of his father's footsteps alighting the stairs with his younger sister echoed in the living room.A few minutes later, they arrived and joined Samuel and his m

    Meanwhile, Stacey walked out of the kitchen after she was done setting up dinner. She walked up to meet her husband and asked him, "Honey, aren't you being too harsh and judgmental on Samuel? I asked him why he helped the Roberts' family heiress, and he said that he just helped her because she is more intelligent than him and the one who scored the highest in his department.""And you believe him? This explains to you why you should warn him to stay away from that family. Mr. Henry Roberts has fine medicines, even if they don't work as actively as ours; they are still potent and sold at a cheaper rate. I have warned Samuel. If I get to find out that he is dating that Roberts' daughter, I will deal with her on my own.""Honey, you will not commit any crime. What will you do to her?" Stacey looked at her husband worriedly."That's left for me to do. Just warn Samuel not to disclose our business to other families. I am not stopping him from continuing his studies because he needs the cer

    Stacey breathed out heavily and replied, "That's fine. You should stay away from Helen and don't have anything to do with her. I do not like her, and I will not approve of your affair with her. She is too chubby and will get old easily."Samuel's eyes widened in surprise as he picked up an apron to tie around his neck, but his mother stopped him."What are you trying to do? You just got back from the university, and you're tying the apron. Don't worry; I will make dinner alone," Stacey said, her hand reaching to stop Samuel from tying the apron."You should go and have your bath upstairs. I will make dinner alone," Stacey said, her voice soft, but Samuel shook his head and replied, "No, Mom. I want to help you. I want to learn how to cook so that I can cook for my wife in the future."Stacey's eyes widened in shock at Samuel's statement. She smiled and replied, "Alright. But definitely not that chubby girl from the Roberts family."Samuel smiled as his hands reached for the apron agai

    "Wow! That was close! I hadn't expected the crowd. Oh no! I didn't get this from the Kingstons," Helen said, after Senator Jerry had left with his security escort. Her heart was still pounding so loud in her chest.Mrs. Rosemary smiled at her daughter and replied, "It's fine, Helen. What matters is that you saved your father's life.""Alright, Mom," Helen breathed out heavily. Just then, she got a message alert that her food had arrived, but she was nervous to leave the hospital room."I will help you get it, sister," Patrick offered, as he was relieved to see his father was fine and better. The physiotherapist doctor had come to check on him and said he would resume his physiotherapy the following day before he got discharged from the hospital.Helen was grateful as she gave her older brother her phone to receive the two meals that she had ordered. She ordered one for him and for herself, since her parents had already eaten. She saw that her father's illness had taken a toll on Patri

    "Dad, all that aside, where do we get the money to pay up the 50 million dollars that you lost, and who is the man that scammed you? You need to help the police with their investigation," Patrick said, as he had already hired two security men to stand by his father's hospital room door."You're right. I will give you all his information after I am done eating," Mr. Henry replied, while Patrick sighed with relief.Helen was famished, so she went to sit down on the chair that her mother had stood up from."Mom, why were brothers Paul, Zion, and Caleb mad at me when I arrived earlier?" She asked, her eyes fixated on her parents' faces.Patrick and their mother, Rosemary, frowned after they heard Helen's inquiry."Helen, it's because your father willed his company to you," Rosemary replied calmly."What?" Helen's eyes widened in shock, and her parents smiled at her."That's true, Helen. You're a pharmacist, and I want you to work there after your graduation from the university. I believe

    Helen's heart softened under her mother's warm embrace. She hadn't expected that her father would automatically recover and even be able to talk and move his hands and legs on his own—something that he had not been able to do on his own before."Helen, do you have anything to say to the media? What university did you study with? Is it the well-known renowned University of Science in this city?" An interviewer asked, and Helen got to realize that it was because her father's company went bankrupt, and it was announced on the news that he was owing hundreds of workers' salaries. Not just that, some other hospitals that he was supposed to supply his medicine to, he failed to meet up with the supply. But now that he had been miraculously cured, they hoped that Helen would take over Roberts Pharmaceutical and distribute the medicine to other hospitals with other stroke victims too."Miss Helen! Can you share more insight on how you got this miraculous medicine? Who created it, and what ingr
