Chapter 4 Who Prescribed the Medicine?

Two hours later, Mr Ferguson senior was wheeled to the private ward with Mrs Ferguson senior trailing behind. The Ferguson family and the Miller family followed behind them.

A few minutes later, Dr Spikes walked into the private ward and said, “Mr Ferguson is stable. However, I want to keep him for observation. Please try not to agitate him.

It’s been a while since his heart has acted up. The medication he was taking made a big difference. Who prescribed the medicine for him?”

Mrs Ferguson looked at Dr Spikes and replied, “My daughter-in-law has been taking care of my father-in-law. I am not sure where she found the medication.

I will definitely ask her to refer you to the doctor who has prescribed the medicine.”

Mrs Miller looked at Mrs Ferguson with sadness in her eyes and said, “The medication was produced by Michaela. She is a Cardiologist.

After she married Thorne she stopped practicing medicine because she thought it would affect her relationship with her husband.”

The Ferguson family was dumbfounded. They didn’t know that Michaela had sacrificed so much for their foolish son. They were overwhelmed with bitterness.

Dr Spikes said, “I would like to see your daughter-in-law, Mrs Ferguson. I haven’t seen this medication on the market before. I would like to recommend it to my other patients.”

Thorne furrowed his brows when he heard Dr Spikes’ words. He was reminded of Paula’s attending doctor’s words, saying they had to thank the person who performed first aid to Paula.

It was clear to him that Michaela was vested in medicine. Why did she hide that important information from him?

Dr Spikes looked at the Ferguson family and said, “Please leave. Mr Ferguson needs to rest.” Hayden and his wife, Gail, left the hospital with the Miller family in tow.

Grandma Ferguson held Thorne’s hand, then they walked out of the private ward. She looked at her favourite grandson and said, “My precious grandson, please drop the charges.

My granddaughter-in-law is not a vindictive person. Please do it for me, my precious grandson.”

Thorne shook his Grandma’s hand and replied, “I am sorry, Grandma. I will never forgive Michaela for coming between me and the love of my life.

I was surprised when she agreed to sign the divorce papers. Unbeknownst to me, she was planning to kill Paula. Grandma, Paula is my life. Where did she get the confidence to touch my bottom line?

She had miscalculated when she thought that the mighty Ferguson family would protect her from what was coming to her.

I am going to teach her a lesson that she will never forget. I will make sure that she gets a life sentence. Grandma, every decision has consequences.” Then he left his grandmother standing.

Tears streamed down Grandma Ferguson's face. She was utterly disappointed in her precious grandson. It was clear to her that her precious granddaughter-in-law had fallen into a trap. Someone was playing tricks behind their backs.

Mrs Ferguson senior wiped away the tears, and then she walked to her husband’s private ward. She sat beside her husband’s bed and held his hand. She silently prayed for her granddaughter-in-law and her husband.

Ten hours later, Dr Bond walked to the Cage family. He looked exhausted and said, “Miss Cage was two months pregnant and we couldn’t save the baby.

She had three broken ribs, a broken leg, a broken arm, a ruptured spleen and a fractured skull. Also, her spinal cord has been severely damaged. It is too early to tell if she will be able to walk again.

We discovered that the person who saved her had fed her some pills. Please ask her for a prescription. It will help her to heal quickly.

She is not out of the woods yet. We don’t know if she will ever wake up. It will depend on her willpower.”

Mr Cage senior nearly fainted when he heard the doctor’s words. He staggered backward. His eldest grandson, Samson, held him before he fell.

Thorne couldn’t believe his ears when he heard that Paula was two months pregnant. Why didn’t she tell him? Tears welled in his eyes, but he held them back.  How could Michaela kill his unborn son? His heart was overwhelmed with hatred towards his worthless wife.

Mr Cage senior looked at Thorne coldly and said, “Mr Ferguson, please leave. My precious granddaughter is fighting for her life because you failed to respect your wedding vows.

You have failed the young lady who saved my granddaughter’s life, and you have failed my Paula.

You were not supposed to be involved with her while you were still married. I blame you for the pain you have caused my granddaughter. You have brought nothing but pain to the Miller family and the Cage family.”

Even though Paula was spoiled rotten by her family, her grandfather had asked her several times not to interfere in Thorne and Michaela’s marriage, but she never listened.

He didn’t want his precious granddaughter to be labeled as a homewrecker. Society didn’t take kindly to the person who destroyed other people's marriages.

At that moment, Paula was wheeled to the ICU. She had a cast on her arm and leg. Her head had a thick white bandage. Her grandfather’s heart ached when he saw his granddaughter in so much pain. He wished he could switch places with her.

Mr Cage senior looked at Thorne and said, “I don’t want to see you near my granddaughter ever again.” He turned to his bodyguards and said, “Please escort Mr Ferguson out.”

Thorne wasn't surprised when he heard Mr Cage senior's words because his beloved Paula had told him several times that her family was trying to break them up.

He looked at Mr Cage senior for a long time, then he left the hospital with a heavy heart. He vowed in his heart that he would avenge Paula and their unborn son.

If Michaela thought that being in prison would be a walk in the park she should think again. He would ensure that she would be tortured beyond recognition.
