Chapter 10 - The illusions (2)

----------(Grey's P.O.V)------------

Legends have it that on ones final moments, everything flush right through their eyes.In my mind a vortex appears, all the memories get more unstable. I'm confused as the vortex swallow me whole, I really don't know what to think now.

Everything was all lies, then who am I?, where I'm I from?, who are my parents and why am I this miserable huh?.

Doubt,rage, uncertainty, denial frustration and loneliness scatter all over my world. All the hellish experience I've gone through slowly play Infront of me. It's like I'm in a high end theatre watching it all unfold.

From the age of five years old, all the memories unfold bit by bit. I relive every transfusion cession all over again and all the sleepless nights. All the time I spent with everyone, from old ghost to wind,All the things I chose to and not to do.

All things I held dear all proved meaningless. All the hypocrites and backstabbers all had one thing in common. They all bullied me because I was weak. If give another chance I could be the most terrifying foe to my enemies.

No I still have a chance to redeem myself, of everyone only fatty didn't turn his back on me. The Park family, the Howard family and all those who had wronged me. Wait for me, this is just a little setback, I'm coming for all of you.

----------(end of P.O.V)----------

Right after talking to Johnson Grey, Conrad Howard walked straight out of the hospital. Orton followed right behind him" Sir do you think it's good for him to know this now??"

"Orton my friend, it's better he learns about this now. All the ordeal he has gone through is all on my family.*sigh* The Howard family is to blame for his plight. I have done my part, now it's all on their heads." Conrad answered solemnly.

"But don't you think it was all to rush, what will the patriarch say about this. After all they are your family." Orton insisted.

"Orton!!! I will never forget the screams of that kid during therapy. All of them stood there motionless as he went through hell. Where was my father then?huh!. For the sake of our friendship I will tell you something Orton. That kid never shed a single tear when he went through hell. But I saw tears on his face looking at my sick mother."

"The influence of the Park family has made them arrogant and narcissistic. I think it's time they face the beast of their own making." Conrad absentmindedly muttered.

He walked off leaving Orton shocked, "it's the first time seeing this side of Conrad. The emotionless general is now afraid, I must report back to the clan before everything gets out of hand"

Back to the hospital, Maxwell anxiously wait for the news from the emergency response unit. Time and time again he would look at the ICU door hoping for something.

An hour want by as Maxwell grew more and more anxious. He hesitates for a second before dialling a number. His heart race and breath quicken, the recipient answers the phone but doesn't say a word.

Maxwell takes a deep breath and starts talking "Jade are you still in the UK?"then a cold laughter is heard from the other side. "Look ..I.....I ....I.. know I'm not worthy of your time nor your energy. But please listen to me this once,I won't take long anyway." Maxwell replied monotonously.

A female voice coldly answered"Say what you want to say if not I am busy with patients right now."

Maxwell smiles bitterly and on a low voice he said"Grey is in big trouble,he puked blood and passed out. Of all the people I know, you are the only one who studied Chinese medicine. Please Jade I don't know who to trust now"

"What! You must be joking,aside from his normal relapse Grey never puked blood anyhow. Tell me right now how is he and what really happened to him NOW!!!" Jade shouted from the other side.

"My dear Jade can we please skip all this nonessential topic and talk about boss here. As we speak he is in the emergency response unit. Tell me are you still in the UK?" Maxwell pleaded.

"Yes of course I'm still in the UK, for three years I have been waiting for an idiot in the same house he bought for me. But it seems he doesn't remember anyone else except his boss." Jade innocently replied.

"Ugh I'm sorry for that but can you please come to London city hospital please. I'll be waiting."Maxwell answered hurriedly. "So if not for him you would not have called me right? Curse you damned Max and your whole family!!!"Jade cursed furiously. Then she hunged up immediately.

About ten minutes later the emergency response room door opened. Three old doctors and six nurses walked out one by one. A middle aged man wearing a white coat walked to Maxwell.

"Hello sir my name is Billy Roods the head of the emergency response unit.I believe you are the relative of the patient Johnson Grey. Can we talk in my office please?" Hello my name is Maxwell Brooks" Max introduced himself.

Maxwell agree and followed him to his office, the office was spacious and he gestured for Max to sit by the main table.

Five minutes later Billy Roods didn't say anything until the three old doctors from before came in. "Mr Brooks, these are the lead specialists of our hospital. They are Peter and Paul stones the head neurosurgeons and Andrew Back the blood specialist."

"Mr Brooks the patient is not fine as we speak, he has a very big tumor in the brain. The tumor has already eroded sixty percent of his brain.

But miraculously his still alive, all the patients with half tumor he has doesn't make it to one year. But he has lived for thirteen years with the tumor.

And that's not all, his blood vessels are also corrupted by forceful transfusion. His whole circulatory system is changing rapidly. So it's hard for us to know if he will wake up.

His recovery depends solely on him, if you can please prepare for a long time coma. If you needed he can be transferred later today.Thank you for your cooperation " Head doctor Billy Roods reported calmly.

"Ok thank you doctor for the advice, I will consider your suggestion and get back to you. But I know who my boss is, I may loose faith in anything in this world even my in myself. But I can't question his resolve*Standing up* Well gentlemen I will take my leave now,have a good day. " Maxwell answers smiling.

"Oh! it seems you hope for a miracle boy, it's good to have hope but not to much hope. Because as the saying goes the higher the expectations, the higher the disappointment." Paul stones adviced.

Maxwell who was walking away paused for some seconds then opening the door he confidently said "It's okay Mr Stones,he is a living proof of my expectations that's guaranteed. Goodbye "
