71. In good hands
Lucien was overwhelmed by the realization that his grandpa Andy had seen Anna when she was still a baby. It made him feel goosebumps that a man he knew also knew Anna even before they met. It felt like they were somehow to meet somewhere in this lifetime, one way or another. He was so eager to ask for more details, but Andy replied with a sad face."I am so sorry, dear; that's all I can tell you now. I will check my notes and come again when Little Liz regains her consciousness. I want to talk to her, too. I have to ask her for anything she could remember, and maybe we can help her solve her parents' death case," Andy added with his tone conveying extreme sadness. Andy walked to Brianna's side and gently held her hand. "Please get well soon. We have so much to chat about. I want to show you how beautiful your mom is with the old photos I had managed to save over time with me. I even have a picture of you in a princess dress," Andy spoke so lovingly. He

72. Denied
Jack Foster was frantic when he heard the news that Brianna was ambushed, captured, and poisoned. He quickly assisted their team and drove to Lucien's villa, just to be blocked by the Michaelson's men guarding the whole place. "I'm here to see my sister," Jack stated with a firm voice. He was not going to leave the place before he got to see his little sister. "Tell your boss that Jack Foster is here to see his sister. He will know," he insisted. He was still trying to stay calm and speak with the security with formality. He was aware the Michaelson's wouldn't just let anyone in. He was even glad about that fact. It clearly meant that his little sister, Brianna, was safe here with all these men guarding the place while she was under-recovery. The guy spoke on his radio and informed his superior that a certain Jack Foster was by the villa's gates and wanted to get in to see his sister. The call was confirmed, and J

73. Surprisingly Unbothered
Tatum Elliott led Jack Foster to a room not too far from where Brianna was having her rest. Along the way, he signaled for one of their men to come over and ordered the man to stay with Jack Foster."Do not let him out of your sight, clear?" Tatum ordered."Yes, sir!" The man takes Tatum as their senior ever since he took the lead on their mission earlier.Tatum left, and only the guard and Jack Foster remained inside the room. Silence filled the whole room. Jack was deep in thoughts about everything he heard from the old Michaelson. He sat on the bed, and with his elbows above his thighs, he grabbed on his hair as he tried to rake his brains. His mind was filled with thoughts like;"What did he mean by helping Brianna find out about the people who killed her parents? Wasn't it Leandro Michaelson? He is the reason why B applied to work for Lucien Michaelson so that she could get closer to her enemy. But he didn't seem to be faking his concerns to help B. He

74. Shocked Andy
The General arrived at the study room with only Leandro sitting at the right side area, in front of a tea table where a laptop was playing a video clip. Andy chose to sit beside Leandro. The latter knew Andy had arrived, but he just gave a smiling glance at the General. Leandro had his eyes back and fixed on the screen. His behavior piqued Andy's curiosity."I wonder what you're watching with so much fascination," Andy chuckled as he was about to take his seat, but his movements paused. His butt was almost squatting in the air as his eyes were keenly staring at the screen.The scene Andy saw was the moment Anna was about to leap from one rooftop to the next one. He saw a petite figure, dressed in a tight, black bodysuit, with a sling bag crossed her body, walking like a cat on the narrow flat surface of a building's wall. According to its physiques, stands, and countenance, Andy can tell the person was female. "Is that who I think she is?" Andy murmured with indescri

75. Her dreadful days of training
"If I were her, I would have made sure that single bullet nailed his vicious heart," Jack spoke with his jaw clenched.Andy leaned his back to his chair. He took a deep breath and composed himself to ask."And why is that?" Andy managed to speak with calmness in his tone. He stared at the young man's face, trying to see any signs of deception he would try to pull a trick on them. "Because that son of the Devil made Brianna live in hell almost every day of her youth," Jack replied with anger. "She was trained to be a killer machine, with the motivation that she would be able to avenge her parents' death. She drowned more than her fingers in a single hand as Charles made her hold her breath in the water with her ankles chained beneath the waters to a huge stone. She would have to unlock the chains in time to make it out to the surface and breath. The first few times she didn't make it, she drowned only to be rescued, breath again, and restart the training."The th

76. Happy to believe
"Yeah," Jack answered with a sneer and intense annoyance. "But I don't think it was to help her if Mister Michaelson here is telling the truth," he added. He was still glaring at Leandro. But when he saw the confused look on the old man's face, Jack sighed and turned his eyes to Andy. He felt a weird feeling that the latter was staring at him intently. He realized Andy was indeed all eyes on Jack. So he asked. "What..?!""What's your name again?" Andy squinted his eyes. His body moved to lean on his lap to get a closer look at the young man."Jack Foster," Jack answered as he leaned forward to do the same with Andy. He gave the military man an equally sizing look."Who is your father?" Andy asked again. He was even more piqued to realize that the young man was not intimidated by him. "I have no father. If I had one, I don't know who he is. No one was there when I grew up with my mom; even when she was on her deathbed, I had no one for a father. But Charles Ander

77. Too weak to complain
"Tell me, what can I do to help?" Jack Foster asked with eagerness.He is pleased to realize that there are people willing to help Brianna solve and bring her parents' death to justice. No matter how hard he had tried, his capabilities and access to many things are still limited. Besides, it's always better to have two heads thinking for anything than one. And more the better if there are more than just two. "You are going to tell us everything you know," Andy replied quickly. "Anything you could tell us might be very helpful."Jack nodded vigorously. He was willing to do anything that would be helpful. Even if it means turning his back to the father his mom introduced to him. Charles Anderson. Her mom was already weak and breathless when she told Jack about his father, and he will have to live with the man when his mom died. He was resentful, but he was only seven years old. He had no way to survive with his weak health and no adult around him, except under Charles

78. Avoiding Unnecessary sufferings
"It might have been an Atropine. A kind of medication that is used to treat certain kinds of nerve agents, it effectively blocks the effects of an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body. But we cannot be sure it was the exact antidote to the poison on the blade that stabbed her; it may only be able to delay the poison from spreading in her bloodstream. And we will only be sure after it is tested," Jack replied with extreme fear.Everyone in the room felt the same fear as Jack Foster. "What do we do then?" Lucien asked in a grave panic."Poisons can be flushed out of the body system; we need to hydrate her as much as possible," Jack replied again. Then he looked at Lucien. "I need to see her wound," Jack said.Lucien glared at Jack."It's already cleaned and bandaged," Lucien spoke with his jaw clenched."I know, still, I need to see her wound," Jack insisted."No, you can't," Lucien firmly declined."Turn around if you don't wa

79. A long Story
"What is going on?" Clark Jacobs asked as soon as he arrived.The young doctor dropped all he was doing and appointed his colleagues to take over so he could respond to Enzo's call. He was already waiting by the lobby when the ride to pick him up arrived at the hospital, and it took less than fifteen minutes to reach Lucien's villa. He was told where he was supposed to go as soon as he opened the front door, and he saw Lucien with a stranger standing next to the bed. The two still had each other's hands in a clasp, so Clark was a bit dazed. "Shhhhhh..." "Hushhhhh..."Jack and Lucien quickly responded with their free hands' index fingers right before their mouths, giving the newcomer a sign to be quiet. And noticed they were still holding each other's hands in a firm shake. They abruptly let go and their eyes turned back to the man in a medical gown.Clark was flabbergasted. Then as he looked at the bed, he also saw someone was lying, and he could guess it

80. Eavesdropping
"And she did not want any trace of her left behind once her plans were executed, succeeded or failed," Jack looked at Brianna on the bed.Lucien and Clark followed Jack's gaze only to turn back to Jack again."But I guess she found something that made her doubt the truth of everything she was told about her parents' tragedy," Jack sighed, still staring at Brianna. "Or..." Jack paused, then he looked at Clark.The young doctor was startled at Jack's sudden turn of his head in his direction."Or...? What...?" Clark asked with fright. He was not scared of Jack; he was scared at how Lucien pierced him with his eyes as he looked at the young doctor, who Lucien thought did something wrong."Hey...!" Clark felt offended and hurt. He wanted to protest that these two are being unfair. He wanted to yell out; What did I do? But the two next to him responded the same as when he arrived at the room earlier."Shhhhhhh!" Lucien and Jack hushed in unison.Clark bi
