Son, why are you behaving like this?” Elizabeth asked with a pained expression as she walked with Chris towards the private lounge area designated for the Walters, trying to hold his hands several times, only to fail miserably.“Mom, I have very little patience for your melodrama.”“Son, you don’t even have the patience for a drink with your mother?” Elizabeth’s voice choked as she opened the door to the lounge and headed to the small table set-up near one of the rooms for resting.There was nothing special about this arrangement as a small seating arrangement was prepared close to each room in the private lounge. The private lounge area of the Royale Lux was similar to an apartment without the kitchen with 4-10 rooms. The Walters being a premium customer and owing to Chris’s friendship with the young master of the Royale Lux, had the largest private lounge with 10 rooms reserved for them all through the year.“Look what your marriage has done to our family.” Elizabeth sobbed as she sa

“What’s going on?”“Uncle, can I give you an explanation once I come back?” Mark looked like he was standing on pins on needles "I need to check on my younger siblings."“Alright… don’t stand there like a jittery teenager… it doesn’t suit the Eldest master of the Walter Empire.” Matthias frowned as he saw Mark losing composure. He wondered what could make the calm and composed eldest master so edgy. He decided to follow and see for himself.“I will just follow you to see what all the excitement is about.” Matthias stood up as he made up his mind. He turned around raising his eyebrows “Do you intend to stand there frozen in time? Then tell me where you were going, and I will go by myself.”“Huh?” Mark raised his head to see Matthias’s teasing look, he lowered his head in embarrassment before walking ahead, leading the way to the private lounge reserved for the Walters.10 mins earlier-Night Song and Night Star got back as Emile was arguing with the guards outside the lounge.“Don’t wan

The ambulance sped all the way to hospital while Neil, Master, Bai-Min and Lai-Li raced against time to hold on to what little life was remaining in Chris; He had already fallen into a deep sleep. Although Neil’s hands didn’t stop what he needed to do, he didn’t forget to pass a voice message to Adrian asking him to gather as many people as possible who are willing to donate and are either AB-ve, O-ve, A-ve or B-ve to the operation theatre on the 3rd floor of emergency department of Good Samaritan Hospital.At the hospital, everything was organized and ready for them; however much to the surprise of all the staff who were scrubbed and ready, Neil requested everyone to be sent out except for Chiara and a group of nurses who were responsible for blood collection. Once everyone was cleared out, Master placed a wooden case that housed more than a dozen pale green coloured small worms on the trolley next to the operating table that Chris was on. Neil, Bai-Min and Lai-Li concentrated on pla

The Walters followed Adam's lead and walked away, one after the other, although their back weren't as proud and straight as they normally were. How could they lift their heads in good conscience when they were the culprits behind their little brother's current plight? Even though they were not directly involved how could they wash themselves of the responsibility of their little brother being on the verge of death?How could their little brother who was otherwise invincible be in such a pathetic plight if they hadn’t forced him with the shackles of relationship to forgive their mother? No one spoke, a gloomy aura surrounded them as they walked out of the hospital.No one saw Elizabeth who was leaning against the pillar and watching the theatre door, tears streaming down her cheeks. She had been standing in the same position since she arrived which was shortly after Night Wing and the rest bought Emile. She never expected her son to want to embrace death rather than relieving the effect

While the Burkes relaxed and rested at Chris’s villa, things were neither relaxed nor restful at the Walter main residence.Adam sat at his customary seat with his sons (in laws) and daughters (in laws) around him. He didn’t have his usual calm and amiable aura but was enveloped in a gloomy aura. The kids with exception of Marcus, Miles, Penny and Vincent were all sent back to their individual villas along with their nannies. No one made a fuss, even the youngest, Mayne knew that something was not right with the adults.“Dad, what are you going to do?” Mark decided to address the elephant in the room while everyone shifted uncomfortably in their chairs.“Family law.” Adam pursed his lips; he didn’t want to…. God knew he didn’t… this was the woman he loved with all his heart… but there were some things that couldn’t be forgiven.No one spoke or rather dared to; they were all feeling conflicted with mixed feelings. While none of them supported Elizabeth’s actions, neither could they diso
