Chapter Three Hundred And Eighty-SixMaster Vernon hesitated for a moment, turning towards Damien and Fred.The two men were looking at Adrian with an unpleasant expression because even Fred noticed his snarky tone.But alas, Master Vernon felt he was just being curious.He smiled at Adrian's statement, "Not my assistant," he said, looking at Adrian directly, "but people whom I care for at the moment."Adrian's eyebrows shot up at that, and he actually looked thoughtful for a moment. He glanced up at Damien with that furrowed brows, and Damien wondered what on earth was going on in his goddamn mind.Adrian was fretting.The moment Master Vernon said that Damien was someone whom he cared for, he immediately put two and two together.It seemed that Damien was getting treatment from Master Vernon. Or why else would he be with such a talented medical doctor?What on earth was he treating? His amnesia?Adrian physically jolted, unbelief coursing through him as he almost started panicking.
Chapter Three Hundred And Eighty-FiveThe hall erupted in applause and cheers once more, as the conference came to an end.Damien turned his attention back to the stage just as everyone rose from their seats.Some stood and converesed with each other, while the rest started making their way to the exit.The air was soon filled with the sounds of light talks and laughing, and a serene classical music filtered through the hall to accompany the guests on their interactions."Wait, that was it?" Damien thought, his brows furrowed in consternation as he realized the conference had come to an end.He jad not paid close enough attention to the proceedings of the meetings to k ow if anything was being said about his condition. A part of him was sad about that, while the other was indifferent.Fred tapped his arm, "Come on, Noah," he said, nodding towards the front of the stage, where Master Vernon stood with several men, clustered around him like bees to honey."Let's go meet the Master. He
Chapter Three Hundred And Eighty Four.Adrian's heart slammed inside of him when his gaze landed on Damien's face.He swallowed hard as he went pale and his head reeled before him.It was really Damien!Damien Romero in the blood and flesh!The sound of clapping and applause jolted him out of his reverie, and he dragged his gaze off Damien's face, turning back towards the stage.Damien Romero was really alive.Adrian rubbed a hand over his face, as his heart rate spiked up and thoughts raced through his head.However, there was the unmistakable feeling of bitterness that settled in his bones at that moment.Although, he had been as hopeful that Damien Romero was alive, he had only kept up that facade to support Lana and make her less worried.He had not been very pleased when news came that Damien had been found, but with another identity and also with amnesia.He had not been ready for the shock of seeing him in the flesh and blood, however.Slowly, he turned to look at Damien once m
Chapter Three Hundred And Eughty-ThreeThe doctor's conference was held in the grand hall of the five star hotels in Crestview.The organizers of the program as well as officials sent by Master Vernon had had the grand hall booked for two full days.The hotel had been working since the early hours of the morning to make sure that everything was in place for this grand meeting which only took place once in three year.The Doctors conference was originally supposed to be held in O'hares but for some reason, Master Vernon had it moved to Crestview city without warning.And now, everything had to be done at the last minute. The hotel had no problem with the arrangements however.Because the conference was moved to the hotel, several of the renowned doctors who lived outside the city and in cities around, now had to stay in the hotel for the duration of the conference.That meant good business.The hotel could not refuse such service even if it was such short notice. There was also the pu
Chapter Three Hundred And Eighty-Two"What do you mean by him letting his life get stolen?"Master Vernon asked when it seemed like Fred was only going to stand there looking like a deer caught in the headlights. Fred swallowed hard, unsure of what to say now that Master Vernon and Damien was looking at him in an inquisitive manner.He wanted to go ahead and say that Noah's accident had not been natural at all. There was definitely something fishy about it.But that would probably cause some kind of panic and make Master Vernon distrust him for keeping this to himself all along.What if the old man thought otherwise of Noah's character?"Why aren't you saying anything?" Master Vernon snapped at him, jolting him back to his senses."The accident," Fred said calmly, "I was talking about the accident." He grinned nervously at them, "What else would I be talking about if not the accident?"Master Vernon stared at him with narrowed gaze, "You're hiding something, aren't you?"Fred immedia
Chapter Three Hundred And Eighty-OneMaster Vernon cleared his throat and motioned for then to start moving out."I have people waiting for me," he explained, nodding towards the door.Fred quickly nodded in return, "Lets go," he said to Noah, "Master Vernon is a guest of honor at the gonferenxe as well as the convener. He has to get there earlier to see that things are in order..Noah nodded slightly in reply as Fred turned back to the old man, and held his arm, supporting him to the door.Noah hesitated, before sighing in acceptance and moving out after them.After all, it would not do to live a life like a puzzle missing a few pieces. If he got his memories back, perhaps the pains in his head and heart would abate.He stepped out into the sunshine and winced at the brilliant sun rays. Instinctively, he shielded his eyes with his arm and swayed against the doorway, catching himself just before he fell down.The edges of his sight blurred and he winced as pain tore through his head.
