Episode 17
"Mum!!!" He called as tears streamed down his eyes, passing out
Everybody looked down waiting for her to fall but she suddenly falls into someone's arm
Making the person fall together with her, the cops rushed towards them and noticed that it was Steve, she was laying unconsciously out of shock
An ambulance carried her away, they made to carry Steve who was also not moving but Lucas stopped them
"I will take care of him, just go with Jason and Mrs. Hillary," Lucas said as he made to carry Steve but the cops still didn't let him
"Sir, he's unconscious. He needs medical attention," the cops said calmly, he doesn't understand why Lucas insists on taking Steve home
No one knows he's a robot, except for his family. If they take him to the hospital they will find out that he's a robot and he can't let that happen
"Don't worry, we will be right behind you," Lucas said as he shoved the police officer aside and carried Steve into his car
*
THREE DAYS LATER*
HOSPITAL
Mrs. Hillary has woken up with her head hurting like hell, she groans in pain as she enclosed her eyes
"You awake," she heard a familiar voice and tried getting up but the pain didn't let her
She wasn't giving up, she strived to ignore the pain as she made to sit up but someone pulled her back making her lay on the bed again
"Easy, just stay low." The person said as he made her lay back slowly on the bed
"My baby," she called but her voice came as a whisper
"Stay here I will get the doctor," he said and made to go out but she grabbed his arm making him stop on his track
"For how long have I been here?" She asked trying to sit up again and this time the person helped her up
"Three days," he replied calmly, it was then he remembered that they were actually at the VIP ward
He went to the bedside and pressed a red button, a few minutes later the doctor came in
*
Richard has been thinking of Mrs. Hillary ever since he came back, he expected brooks to scold him as he has always done but no he didn't
He doesn't even know why he has been thinking so much about her, He looked around and made sure that his father was no longer around before grabbing the keys
He stayed for a while inside his car then Decided to listen to music, He turned on the radio and they were talking about Mrs. Hillary who was saved by a stranger
According to the report, no one knows who Steve was cos Lucas didn't take him to the hospital
He got the address of the hospital before driving out...... Gosh, what am I thinking? He muttered as he drove down the road
What if I get caught? Why did I care anyway!" So many questions run through his mind but he can't just process them
I just need to be careful," he muttered
*
"Mum you need to eat something, even if it's just a little please," Jason said as he fed his mum slowly
"Some water please," Mrs. Hillary said gently though her voice was not loud enough
Jason Checked the table but there was none there
"I will be back," he said before walking out only to meet Lucas and Lucy by the door
"Where are you heading?" Lucas asked
"Just wanna get some water, I will be right back," Jason replied and left
Not without giving Lucy a quick glare that says WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HIM, Lucy seems to understand but she doesn't care
They went in to see Mrs. Hillary laying down with her eyes closed, Lucas moved closer to the bed and observed her closely
"Get well soon, my party is at the corner I don't want you to miss it," Lucas said as he kissed her forehead before walking back to the chair
"She's cute even in her sleep," Lucy said muttered
"I know right," Lucas replied
a doctor walked into the ward without saying anything to anyone, they looked at him suspiciously
"When is she coming home doctor," Lucy said and stepped away from Mrs. Hillary so the doctor could check her
"Soon," the doctor replied, he went over to Mrs. Hillary staring at her without saying anything
Lucy was discussing with Lucas but her mind was there, she wondered the kind of doctor that will give that type of reply SOON
Is he even a doctor? cause he doesn't look like one except for the lab coat that he's wearing
"Did she need anything," Lucy decided to ask, she didn't understand why a doctor would be acting strange
Lucas seemed not to notice because his mind was somewhere else. He suddenly looked at the doctor and said
"Lucy. Give him time, he's a doctor and he knows his job better than us," Lucas said
"I think I am done here," the doctor replied, that voice seemed familiar to Lucy, but she still wasn't convinced about that person being a doctor
He didn't give her any treatment or medicine, he was just staring at her. Everything about him seems strange
"I will be back," she said as she walked toward the door
"Where to, wait...you can't go out there is not safe," Lucas said and ran after her living Mrs. Hillary behind
*
"Hey, wait... " Lucy said and the doctor stopped on his track immediately
Why the f*CK is she after him? Can't she just leave him alone now that he doesn't want to hurt anyone," the doctor thought silently
"Who are you," Lucy asked moving towards him as he moved back a little
He didn't want to frighten them, he just wanted to check on the patient and leave. Now this lady wants to spoil everything for him
Lucy walked towards him and pulled off the face cap reviewing his dangerous face
"Richard," Jason called from behind and rushed towards him, one could see the anger burning inside him
"Nobody should move," Richard shouted and grabbed Lucy by the neck immediately
She struggles to free herself and Lucas moves forward with his fist already balled
"I said nobody should move or she dies," Richard yelled and placed a small knife on her neck
"Richard you can't do this, just let her go," Lucas said calmly trying to get to him
"I will let her leave once you guys obey everything I say," Richard replied and tighten the knife on her neck
"What did you want Richard?" Jason asked trying hard not to show his anger, any mistake will lead to the death of Lucy and he can't allow that
"I just wanna get out of here in peace, no one will call the cops or try anything stupid with me," Richard said and pushed the knife a little deeper making it gives her a slight cut
Seeing the blood that drops out from her neck, Lucas looked at Lucy and then in her shoes. Lucy immediately understood what Lucas was trying to say and stepped on Richard's right foot
"Argh!!" he cried out and let go of Lucy immediately Jason rushed to him with a punch
He punched him hard on his face making Richard stagger back, he kicked his stomach and he groaned in pain
Lucas stood and walked towards him, seeing the look on Lucas's face he took to his hills immediately. The last time he had a fight with Lucas he ended up in a coma for two days
With the look of things Lucas is gonna beat him until he stopped breathing
"Come back here you son of a bitch" Jason yelled and ran after him
"Let him go, you can't get him," Lucas said as he carried Lucy slowly
Jason came back to see him carry Lucy as that and jealousy took over him
"It's your fault that he almost killed you, what were you thinking," he yelled and Lucas has to drop Lucy down
"How is it my fault?" Lucy asked
"What were you think, you know how dangerous he is and yet you went close to him, seriously," Jason said, Lucy wanted to talk but Lucas stopped her
"Common guys, what's with the argument? It's nobody's fault," He said and grabbed Lucy's hand before living

Richard walked into his house to see his father's angry face staring at him, but he seemed not to care. The fact that his conscious mind is judging him is making him restless
"Where are you coming from," his father Mr. Brooks asked, Richard looked at him and didn't say anything
"I said where are you coming from?" Mr brooks asked again this time standing on his feet
"And when did you start monitoring my movement? the last time I checked I didn't need permission to leave and come back to this house anytime I want and however I want," he fired back making Mr. Brooks gasped
He raised his hand to slap him but Richard blocked it
Don't even think of it Brooks," he said looking him in the eyes
