Chapter 47: Reaping in plentiful (iii)
"Should I inform mum and dad?" Aria picked up her phone and asked Maxson. She was so worried about Flora, she wondered why her life had to settle with such a wicked family.
Maxson shook his head immediately, he knew how panicked their parents would be. "No, don't do that now. Let's get to big bro first and see how Flora is doing". He declined.
"Alright then". She replied .
The hospital had many floors with well equipped machines, each section has its own doctors and specialists. Maxson and Aria ran faster to the cardiological section, since Flora was wounded in the heart region, she was immediately transferred there.
They opened the door to the ward where Flora was. "Big bro!". Maxson called out to Scott.
He could see the sadness on his face, he looked gloomy and pale. "How did you find out? Joel?" He asked calmly.
"Yes bro. I happened to meet him at your place, because I have been to the company and you weren't there". He sighed and watched his brother's attitude.
"Big bro, how's sister-in-law now?" Aria asked weeping as she walked to Flora's side.
"Sigh! The doctor said we should be watching on how she responds to the situation, though she is stable for now. I guess we just need a miracle to happen". He said melancholic.
"Let's just be optimistic. I believe sister-in-law is not weak, she is a very strong woman, she knows what she wants for herself". Aria tried consoling her brother.
"Yes she is, I believe she would come back to us soon". Maxson added.
"Big bro! Have you informed anyone else?" Aria was curious from the start.
Scott shook his head as he kept looking at his wife. "Not even your friends?"
"I already told Joel to do that". He spoke in few words.
"What about the murderer? Have they been captured?" Maxson asked as he clenched his knuckles.
"The one who shot is captured already, we are working on the mastermind". Scott replied boldly.
He stood up as soon as he finished speaking. "Aria, stay with your sister-in-law, I and Maxson needs to go somewhere. Do not allow any visitor in, and notify the doctor immediately if there is any issue". He commanded.
"Okay big bro, you can be rest assured". She said firmly.
Scott nodded his head, he walked out of the ward along with Maxson. The two brother knew where they were going to without telling each other.
"Boss, they are waiting for you already". Joel said to Scott on the phone.
"Alright! I'll be there in a jiffy". His cold voice rang through the phone.

In Broe's mansion, Presch was at the dinning table, eating and smiling. The goodnews her mother had told her yesterday's evening had been the source of her joy. She stared at the meat dish in front of her, took the table knife and began to cut through the meat.
She pictured the meat as Flora and the table knife as her. She began to cut the soft meat recklessly as she smiled to herself.
"Why aren't you eating? Are you full?" Broe who just came down from the room asked her.
"Huh? No, I am enjoying the meal". She smiled at him.
He sat down beside her, joining her in eating. "I'll be leaving for work soon, let me dine with you". He said happily.
"Tell me, what happened? Why are you so happy this morning?" He said and grabbed a clean plate.
"Ohh! That? I am just happy, happy for us". Presch forced a smile this time.
"I am also happy then. I love you so much Presch". He kissed her forehead and hugged her firmly.
Presch was flabbergasted, she wasn't expecting this romantic scene from Broe today. She thought he doesn't want her anymore.
She decided to forget about the past and move along with the present, after all, he was the one she loves.
Sarah who was sitting on the couch in the living room saw their display of affection. She watched them and smiled, though she doesn't really like Presch, but she wanted her son to live a peaceful life. If she could give him that, she would then accept her.

Noon Time...
Scott's friends weren't present at the underground's urgent meeting. Each of them were at their company bustled with heavy tasks and activities.
Gad and Roy came to Michael's company to talk about visiting and helping Scott, their friend.
"Man, I never expected such hit on him". Gad spoke first as he sat down on one of the chair in Michael's office.
"It already done and can't be undone. We just have to think of a way to assist him". Micheal explained.
"That woman should be seriously dealt with. She doesn't understand that Flora is no longer in her league to tamper with". Roy said with annoyance.
"She doesn't, she needs to be informed". Gad added.
Michael sighed, he remembered the stranger who had called him long time ago, to form an alliance in order to deal with Scott's and Flora's relationship. Could it be that this person has a hand in this?" He thought deeply.
"It would be better if everyone call him separately to check up on him. Then tomorrow, we would go visit him and Flora in the hospital". Micheal suggested.
"Yeah, that fine then". Gad yawned.
"Well, I think I'll be the first to leave, take care guys". Gad left the room.
Roy also stood up and bided farewell to Michael.

At Firefold Entertainment Company....
Mareed Duncan had just resumed work at the subsidiary company today. He had a lot of work to do that he didn't have time to think about his personal life.
He was just having a break when he sat down on his office's couch. "God! I am so exhausted". He rubbed his temple that was aching.
Aria's picture flowed in his head, he wondered why the young lady's image kept filling his mind.
"Come in". He got distracted by a sudden knock on the door.
"Sir, everything had been distributed equally". Noah bowed his head as he spoke. He was the PA assigned to assist Duncan in the company.
"Alright". He said.
"Oh, please come". Duncan called him back as he was about opening the door to leave.
"I need you to investigate someone for me. Her name is Aria, I need every information about her. She looks like someone from a very wealthy family". He explained slowly.
"Here, this is her picture". He showed Noah the picture on his phone.
"Sir, the only Aria I know is the Silver family's last daughter, Silver Aria". Noah spoke immediately.
"You mean she is Big brother's friend's younger sister? Silver Scott? He asked in bewilderment.
"I think so sir". Noah responded.
"Well, leave it to me then". He dropped his phone on the table.
"Alright sir".
Noah bowed and left.
