Chapter 11 - The Cameron Family

On the other side the boy that was rescued was taken straight to Silverdale hospital which is the best hospital in the city. After being treated and cleaned they noticed that most of the blood on him didn't belong to him. After two hours in the operating room the boy was wheeled out of the operation theater. As soon as he was taken to the ward a middle aged couple walked in. They both were dressed in custom made clothes. The man looked similar to the boy. The minute the boy looked at the two he greeted in a weak voice "Mom, Dad sorry I made you worry" The bodyguard who were with the boy greeted the couple in a respectful tone "Mr and Mrs. Cameron, we failed to keep the young master safe, we are ready to take any punishment that you see fit." Owen Cameron gestured for them to stop apologizing and said "It's not your fault, those people were already waiting to ambush you." He then looked at his son and said "Eric did you recognise your assassins?" The young boy that Naomi had saved was Eric Cameron the heir to the Cameron family. The Cameron family was the richest family in S Country. They had the ability to shake the entire economy. Eric said with a cold look "Dad it's the uncle's family that attacked us today" When Olivia saw her son injured on the hospital bed she felt heartache, She looked at Owen with a teary face and asked him to take care of his brother's family so that her son would not be attacked again. 

The door to the ward opened and a black clad bodyguard walked in and said "Young master, we were not able to find the girl that you mentioned anywhere near that place" Owen and Olivia looked at Eric with a confused look and asked "Which girl are you looking for?" Eric told them what happened back at the alley and how that little girl had taken a risk to save his life. Eric looked back at the bodyguard and asked him to get the surveillance recordings of all nearby places so that he would be able to identify the girl from it. 

After around fifteen minutes the guard returned with a tab in his hands and started showing the surveillance videos of all nearby places. After watching a few videos Eric's eyes fell on a young looking girl. She looked like she was around ten to eleven years old. He paused the video and zoomed in at her. She was wearing simple casual clothes and she had an absolutely stunning appearance. Eric took a screenshot and handed the tablet to Owen and Olivia and told them that this was the little girl who saved him. 

When Olivia and Owen looked at the girl they were stunned. Olivia immediately asked Eric "Are you sure this is the girl who saved you?" Eric nodded at that. Olivia looked at Owen and asked "Doesn't this girl somewhat resemble her friend Karen Anderson who is the wife of Shawn Williams from the Williams family." Owen agreed with what his wife said. He asked his assistant Henry to investigate this girl. Owen and Olivia remembered that the Williams had lost their only daughter nine years ago and by now their daughter should be the same age as this girl who had saved Eric. They decided to investigate her before informing the Williams couple so as to not give them false hope.

After around ten minutes Dr. Andrew Steward walked in wearing his white coat. Olivia rushed to Dr. Andrew and asked "Dr.  Steward, how's my son Eric?" Dr. Steward said "Mrs. Cameron there is nothing to worry about. Young master Cameron just has a few external injuries, he should be able to get discharged after two days of observation. Owen and Olivia let out a sigh of relief, Eric is their only son and the sole heir to the Cameron family. When Owen thought about the assassination attempt made on his son he felt his anger rise to his heart. His brother Manuel had clearly crossed the line by attacking his son. Owen walked out of the hospital room and informed his assistant Allen Lawrence to start the process of acquiring his brother's company. 

Meanwhile at Zishan club, a high end nightclub at the center of the city there was a man sitting in a private room. He had a beer belly and a cigarette between his fingers while there was a woman sitting on either side leaning into his arms with their bosoms clearly sticking to his body. A man entered the room and said "Mr. Manuel, we weren't able to assassinate Eric as he was rescued by his people. He is currently being treated at Silverdale hospital." Manuel's iris contracted at it and he felt anger rise to his heart. He smashed his glass on the floor and cursed "That bastard survived again. How can you people be so useless? You couldn't even kill a fifteen year old brat?" The assistant shuddered in fear. He then said "Mr. Manuel, your brother Owen Cameron is already at the hospital and as per the assassins we hired Eric already knows who was behind his attack today."

When Manuel heard this he felt a chill run down his spine. He knew very well that his brother would not let him off the hook for trying to kill his son. After an hour Manuel received a call from the company saying that his company is facing a financial crisis and that the cops are currently investigating his tax evasion. Manuel knew that this was his brother's payback for the assassination attempt. He realized that he was doomed. Manuel slumped to the ground and regretted his actions out of greed. Now his company is going bankrupt and he would never be able to make a comeback. He realized what the saying meant to go for the wool and come home shorn.
