Chapter 5 Hmm

• Chapter 5
• Precious's fingers twitched and her eyes moved beneath her lids before she slowly opened them.
• "Call doctor Taylor!" a voice ordered.
• "Hey," a voice whispered above her.
• Precious stared at the ceiling, blinking slowly, numb, and no movements.
• The air in the room became tensed and aloof as the gentleman beside Precious was putting on a look of concern and guilt.
• "Boss," The voice erupted in the air. "I think something is wrong with her heartbeat, look at the monitor."
• The man suddenly leaned closer towards precious, towering over her.
• Her lips twitched and she uttered some words.
• "I am Alicia Grey from Houston..."
• Then her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she lost consciousness.
• "She just mentioned Alicia Grey from Houston," the man muttered in a hoarse voice as he tilted his head to the other side of the room towards a man in his mid-twenties. "I want you to figure that out."
• The door opened with a nurse standing at the doorway, hands stuck to the waist and a sweet smile curling up her cheeks.
• "Sir, the doctor would love to see you." the nurse uttered and the man nodded his head and then stride out of the ward.
• "I'm sorry sir, but we can't carry out any operation without her relative signatures or her husband. Should anything happen we'll be held responsible." The doctor said.
• The man paused for a while immersed in his thoughts, then cleared his throat.
• "Her parents live in Houston, maybe we fly her to one of the best hospitals in Houston then her parents could look directly after her."
• After uttering these words the doctor stared at the bizarre man for a while before submerging to his suggestion.
• In a shorter period, precious and the men were already inside a private jet that was leaving for Houston.
• "Sir, I managed to find out that indeed there was Alicia Grey the prodigal daughter of the family who loves to party, was rude, and stole 36 billion dollars from her family to elope with her lover. All efforts to find her in the past five years have been in vain."
• "The father is sick, down with a stroke at the hospital. He collapsed from shock when he learned Alicia ran away with a huge sum of his money which later resulted in the decline in their family business growth."
• After listening to the atrocities that Precious had caused, the man shook his head and stroked her chin and cheeks.
• "Hey, you've been such a great nuisance to your parents." the man uttered in a pathetic tone then burst out laughing.
• "Do you think the parents will be willing to accept her back into the family?" the assistant gave a rhetorical statement not expecting an answer from his boss.
• "Why? You have any contradiction?" the boss inquired.
• The assistant rolled his eyes, then pursed his lips to swallow the words that were hitching to come out.
• "Just say it." the boss said in an authoritative tone.
• "It's just that, her siblings vowed to disown and arrest her upon her visit or reappearance in Houston or Dallas."
• "And if she's with me, who would dare to instigate the thought of arresting her?" The boss asked and the air became cold.
• "Find out about a single person who's simply fond of her so the person could sign for her surgeries."
• The boss crossed his legs, a gentle smile curling up the corner of his lips as he was thinking about some things.
• In a few minutes, they arrived in Houston at the airport with fleets of cars waiting outside.
• "Did you call Jessie to inform her of my visit?" the boss inquires with a tone of distaste.
• The assistant put on a sadder countenance and apologized. "I'm sorry master."
• "Hmm..." he coughed. "Then you should deal with the mess that may come after this." the boss said before stepping out of the jet while the paramedic rushed in to bring out Precious.
• She was wheeled into an ambulance.
• As the man was about to move some steps, someone stopped right in his front pulling up some warm smiles.
• "Brother Logan, good to see you here in Houston. I'm wondering_"
• "A friend of mine is sick and as you can see I have to be there with him."
• "Him?" Jessie repeated with her brows creased.
• "Yes him, and no one should know that my friend is sick. It should be a secret between us."
• "Okay but if you'll hug and peck me. I'll keep it a secret." Jessie chimed, blushing, her gaze darting to her feet as she fiddled with her fingers.
• Logan came close, looking down at her intensely, his height a bit intimidating.
• He leaned closer to her, his lips almost brushing against her ears. "Keep dreaming Princess," he uttered in a cold icy tone that brewed some erotic thoughts within Jessie.
• With a mockingly coy, he ran his forefinger along her jaws.
• She hastily pulled back from him, and a drop of tear escaped from the rim of her eyes.
• Logan grinned and walked away to the car in which he slipped in and then the car disappeared into the busy road.
• Jessie wept as she watched Logan leave without a hug from him. She picked up her phone from her purse and then typed it on the screen before walking to her car.
• On the other hand.
• Logan already informed his assistant to fetch the family members of Precious.
• A few moments later, three people from precious families arrived at the hospital.
• "Alicia is in a delicate stage, she might lose her life anytime soon if none of you sign the papers." The assistant said and they stared at him like he grew four heads.
• They hissed.
• "So you think we would be sad if she died?" one among the siblings spat.
• "It's better she died than to be alive." Another person said.
• "Of what use has she been to us except a needle in the ass, and it would be perfect if she lose her life without our father ever learning about her." the first speaker said.
• "She caused us to move from an A-list family to an ordinary family. Do you think she's special to us? Or we'd welcome her like a princess?"
• Different kinds of bad habits of Precious were discussed which caused the assistant to be swayed by their talk.
• "Perhaps you were the boyfriend she had eloped with, you should be arrested and dealt with too."
• Logan's gaze blazed with fire as he stared at them and the air became so cold and tenseed, causing goosebumps to erupt all over their body.
• The man was going to speak when the nurse rushed over, wailing, "Doctor, Doctor, the patient in the VIP room is ..." she stuttered when her gaze honed with Logan.
• Logan stared from the nurse to the doctor and a cold air that could freeze a human to death emitted from him, his eyes growing darker.
• "What happened to her?" The doctor asked with a tinge of concern in his tone.
• The nurse panicked, her body trembling. "She's... on... fire!"
