Chapter 26

Excusing myself, I took my phone out and made a call to someone I had known a long time ago.

"Hey man," I said as a greeting.

"Man, to what do I owe the pleasure?" he asked.

"I need your help Hilston." I said.

"Really! So you need my help and it's now you remember me?." Hilstson replied somewhat annoyed.

"Man, I'm sorry but things have been hectic over here. Right now, my mate is in a dire situation, she needs to save her kids while at the same time she is being threatened which could lead to things u don't want to talk about, I need your help." I asked.

"Okay, fine. I will help you, I'm not that petty you know." Hilston said.

"Thanks man,"I owe you one.

"Don't worry, it's not a problem at all. Knowing your attitude, I know you want me to come right now. Well, you don't need to worry about that cause I will be on my way immediately." Hilston said.

"Okay, thanks once again." I said as I hung up.

Walking back to the place the group was in, I noticed some nurses helping Ryan to another ward, as she had passed out.

Looking at the ward that the kids were placed in. I saw the nurse helping Ryan to another ward as he had fainted.

"I guess I shouldn't be surprised." I mumbled under my breath as I watched this scene unfold.

Just from seeing her, I could see the pain she was feeling at that moment.

Laying on the bed in a weak state, without moving at all.

I could see the toll it's taking on her. From the day I've known her, she had always been the emotional type yet acted strong.

If I want to be sincere to myself, I hate seeing her like this, but what could I do since I don't even know who has been doing this to her.

"Who could have done it? This question played on my mind as I gave it some thoughts.

'One thing is for sure though, these actions were done inside my mansion, but who could it be?' My mind raised as I tried to find answers to the questions in my mind.

Hearing the sound of someone coming, I tilted my head in the direction of the sound, only to see Queen come over to my side.

"what's going on?" She asked as she stared at me.

Wanting to gesture at the Ryan who had passed out, I realized that she was not there any longer.

Sighing to myself, I told her everything I knew as I watched on.

After finishing what I was saying, I began to walk towards the ward Ryan was taken to while passing the ward the two kids were placed in as requested by Ryan.

Watching as they lay there, I could see the pain show in their expression a few times. I continued watching until I felt like leaving.

Moving to the room Ryan was placed in, I entered inside, only to see the nurse wrapping things up.

Soon, she left with the things necessary for her to take along with her as she left the room.

After a few minutes had passed, I saw Hilston come inside the ward after I sent him my location.

"Follow me." I said in an authoritative voice. Hilston followed along without any complaint. He had known Aiden enough to understand his character.

Soon, they reached the ward of the two kids. Not hesitating in the slightest, they entered the ward.

After entering, Hilston began to do some checks on them as I watched on.

I didn't understand what he was doing but one thing I know is that, whenever he is involved in things like this, he will always get the cure or solution to the problem.

It took some time but he eventually stopped, he walked over to me. "I've got the cause of their problem. It is indeed a poison known as the death poison. It's as the name indicates. It enters the body and begins its effect immediately until the body is no longer active." He summarized.

"Okay," I said while nodding as understanding dawned on me.

"Don't worry though, I have a way to cure them. Just at get me this materials." he said as he removed a small jotter and pen from his pocket, then he wrote them down.

Looking at the materials listed in the jotter, a frown appeared on my face as I had no idea what these materials were.

Seeing the expression on my face, he said. "don't worry about it then, I will do it myself." He extended his hands out for me to give it to him.

Without any hesitation, I gave him the paper, "thank you." I said, appreciating the effort he is showing me.

I watched him as he took the material and went out to buy it himself.

After a few minutes had passed, he came back back with the listed materials necessary to make the solution.

Finding a quiet place for him to concentrate, he made the solution and after a few minutes he came back with the cure he had made.

Seeing this, I followed him as he went to the ward. He went to the hospital and gave the two the cure to the poison.

When he was done, he looked at me and said, "I'm done, they should be up and running in no time."

"Okay, thank you." I said as I gave him an appreciative look.

"You are welcome, I will be leaving now. So, call me whenever you need my help once again." H said.

"Sure, I will." I told him as I smiled lightly.

After he began to leave, I remembered that I hadn't asked him a question.

"Wait, when will they wake up?" I asked as I looked in his direction.

Stopping, he looked to me, "give them 10 minutes." Then he left

Checking my watch, I kept the time in mind and let my mind rest.

For reasons unknown to me, I felt good as I thought about the fact that Ryan won't have a reason to leave the mansion.
