Chapter 26
McDermott hospital.
Lisa’s life was in great danger and the doctors treating her this time were sweating profusely. Any mistake and Lisa might be a vegetable. There was a rather tricky blood clot in her brain. But Jack had requested that she shouldn’t have an operation. He sat outside eating and browsing the internet about business, stock market, and many more things that the author knows nothing about. 🙂
Beside him were two cold bodyguards whose aura scared many from approaching.
“You, find me that lady,” Jack suddenly commanded.
“Sir, please make yourself clearer,” said one of the bodyguards.
“Oh, do you mean my words are not understandable? You got a problem with your ears?” Jack thundered, but the bodyguards did not cower. This was one of the intrinsic qualities his best bodyguards possessed.
“Sir, this one doesn’t get you clearly. Which lady, in particular, do you seek, Sir?” the bodyguard asked again.
“That ugly lady with blonde hair. Get her for me,” he ordered.
“Boss, she’s no longer in this hospital but has discharged yesterday. Also, the lady lost her ability to speak,” the bodyguard stated immediately.
“Then, find her for me by all means, dimwit,” Jack barked.
“Yes, boss. But will you be safe by yourself?” the other bodyguard asked.
“Get lost, nincompoop.”

Liege hospital.
Andre bade goodbye to his parents, saying he wanted to settle the issue with the police, and then left. When he had driven farther from the hospital, he parked by a lonely roadside and examined the ring.
“This is troubling. Who could this evil rising be? George said it’s a woman, and this weapon smells like the ocean.” Andre pondered and then started the car engine and drove off.
Bruce and Dorothy had gone to visit George in his assigned private room, and he sighed, looking away from them.
“Speak, George. Why did you hit my child? What wrong did she commit that you’ll hurt her when she’s going to birth a child soon, huh?” Dorothy raged.
“Jane, calm down” Bruce rubbed her shoulders.
“Go, be with Angelica. She needs you by her side. I’ll talk to him. We’ll get to the root of the matter” he promised, and she reluctantly left after cursing his (George’s) ancestors. Bruce shook his head with a sigh.
All these years, he’d never seen her curse this much or show this much anger. But it was understandable. No mom would stand seeing their child being maltreated!
Bruce walked towards George and sat on a chair beside the bed.
“Raise your colossal head,” Bruce demanded, and his son-in-law obeyed.
“My son, I won’t make it hard for you coz I know you’re in so much pain. Whose spell was controlling you? How does the woman look like?” he asked.
Hearing these words, George’s eyes became round like saucers. What was happening? What he’s said to Andre was a secret. How did…
“I have very sharp hearing and possess the demonic eye which can identify all evil existence in my surrounding. I saw a black mist above you back at your home on your head. Don’t attempt to act shrewd before me. I want to help you.” Bruce stated.
What was George’s response? Bogus fainting!

In Vanessa’s room, the situation was getting tenser. None of them had made the move to fight yet. On Evelyn’s side, one part of the room felt cool, but the other side was freezing because of her lotuses. On Vanessa’s side, it was scorching hot, but nothing in the room was burning, as she had no intention to do so.
They kept staring at each other and then smiled meaningfully.
“Decide on the terms and let’s fight,” Vanessa stated.
“If I win, you stay here but if it’s otherwise, you can go see Lisa but you exceed 2 hours, never think of returning to meet a peaceful me,” said Evelyn, as the lotuses floating above her hands rotated.
“So in order words, I just need to beat you silly, my dear BFF” with that, she launched a fire ring at Evelyn. It flew fast with great momentum as it headed to Evelyn, but Evelyn scoffed.
“Petty tricks.” she launched the two different lotuses at the incoming fire ring. When they collided, the two lotuses were burnt into ashes and the flame ring still continued to Evelyn, who prepared another set of lotuses to launch. But Vanessa took the chance to escape through the open window, her wings flapped hard and the flames were bright.
“I better leave now,” Vanessa muttered, and flew away. But in no time, Evelyn flew out too and started chasing after Vanessa.
“You cunning fox, don’t run,” Evelyn telepathed.
“I’m not running, but flying. Besides, when have I been an angel?” Vanessa laughed and also took the time to enjoy the view before her. It was just so beautiful and overwhelming. She could fly and enjoy such a good view with the wind caressing her skin. Evelyn also enjoyed the beautiful view below them before recalling her mission. That man (Jack Reynolds) wasn’t a paper tiger. She didn’t want any harm to come to her friend all in the name of saving Lisa. Besides, Vanessa chose the Art class back in high school and knew nothing about medicine. So, what was this anxiousness to save Lisa, when top medical experts were there? She just couldn’t understand.
“Vanny, we haven’t even started the fight. The winner is yet decided and we are hosting a party back home too. Also, how can you be sure Lisa will be taken to McDermott? Come on, think normal for once!” Evelyn ranted but Vanessa shook her head.
“Bestie, stop the chase unless you just want to have a flying competition with me,” Vanessa did stunts in the air.
“You have to stay with me. It’s getting dark,” said Evelyn.
“But I see well.” Vanessa flew faster until she reached McDermott hospital and found a secret place close to the hospital to land.
Evelyn also did the same.
“Now comes the problem. How to change back?” Vanessa complained.
