Chapter 44
Lily’s Pov
We got to the prison yard and I quickly step down the car.
“Hey wait”Daniel yelled as I start running and I stop on my tracks panting.
“Stop hurting yourself, This guy didn’t care for you when he’s hale and hearty, so why did you care so much about him?”
“He cares about me, he doesn’t want to show it,”I snapped and he sighed.
“Okay then, let’s go”He sighed and grab my hand, we both walk to the yard and a warden led us to the counter.
“What can we do for you?”
“We are here for Gerald, can we see him?”
“Sure, but you have to fill in your details here and we take a picture of you”
“Okay”He nodded and he decided to sign his details even though I insist to sign mine, after signing it, they took our pictures and led us to the dusty room where he is.
I almost cry when I saw the man looking so tattered and unkempt, Lucian really resemble him a lot, even though he’s dirty, but you can still find the resemblance”
“Sir”I called and rush to help him with a seat, he sat feebly on it and stare at us.
“They said you are here to see me”He mumbled slowly and I nodded, I cover my face and tried to swallow the tears but I couldn’t.
“Lily”Daniel called in a slightly hard tone and I smiled.
“I’m sorry,”I sniffed and I clean my eyes quickly.
“Is there a problem?, who are you?”
“I’m Lucian Friend, Daniel and this is her girlfriend, Lily”
“Lucian have a girlfriend?”He asked surprised and I sniffed.
“I’m his sex slave”I said truthfully and his face fell.
“Why are you here?”
“Lucian was poisoned this morning”
“What!”He asked in panic and he grab my hands.
“Where is he?”
“How is he doing now?”
“Can I see him?”
He rushed the question and I slap my forehead tiredly.
Why’s he this concerned about Lucian.
He hurt them right?
“Actually, Mykel was the one who poisoned him, the poison was banned years ago, we couldn’t reach him because he’s in the prison now, and we couldn’t find the antidote, can you help us?”I pleaded almost breaking down and a tear slipped down his eyes.
“I don’t know the poison but there was a time when he gave me a poison with it’s antidote, he later came back to collect the poison without taking the antidote along with it, Mykel us a dangerous man, he deals a lot with poisons so I don’t know the one you’re talking about”
“Okay, but where can we find the antidote?”
“In my house, but it’s been years now, I don’t know maybe we can still find it there”
“Then let’s go check it”I said impatiently and Daniel sighed.
“Getting him out of here will be a hard but to crack without Lucian approval”
“Can’t we try to do something”
“Don’t worry, I’ll go talk to them maybe they can grant us permission”
Flash Back…
Gerald Pov
Three years ago…
“Gerald, you’re presence is needed in the office”, The warden yelled and I walk feebly to him.
He opened the door to the gate and he led me out of the prison.
There, I met Lucian sitting down looking so cold and brutal.
“Lucian”I called and tried touching him but the deadly glares made me shift back in fear.
“Sir, we are so sorry, the new government grant you amnesty but none of your close relatives are ready to sign it”
“What?”I whispered in shock and I turned to Lucian.
“Lucian, sign it”
“They said your close relative, am i in any way related to you?”
“But you’re my son”I scream in tears and he scoffed.
“I seize to be your son the moment I watched that poor woman dying in your hands, I’m promising you Gerald, you’re going to spend the rest of your life in this prison”He swore angrily and pack his phones on the table before walking out of the office in anger.
“Lucian”I yelled but he wasn’t ready to listen to me.
Few minutes later…
He came back with some warden and they grab him roughly from the chair.
“Don’t you dare try to hurt him, is there something wrong with you?”Daniel rasp and they release him carefully, I held his hand warmly and we both walk outside the yard.

“Wait here for us, we will be back”Daniel stopped me when I tried to go into the dusty house and I nodded.
“Okay”I nodded in affirmation and they both walk into the house.
God!
I held my wait tiredly as I pace to and fro expecting them to come out of the house.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Gosh!
They are taking too long.
Shortly, they came outside and the two were covered with dust, I rush to Daniel and help him wipe the dust off his body, I also help Lucian Dad with it.
“Did you see it?”I asked curiously and he nodded.
“We saw it but don’t be too happy, what if it’s not the poison they are talking about, that means all our efforts are waste”
“It will never be a waste!”I cut him off calmly and he sighed.
“Okay then, let’s go to the hospital”
Lucian Dad was about to follow us when the officer stopped us.
“Sir, he’s allowed to follow you, unless you have Lucian permission”
“Have you gone nuts?, we are talking about life and death and you’re here telling me that he isn’t going with us”
“I’m sorry sir”He bowed slightly and he scoffed before opening the door for us.
We both entered and he driver hurriedly through the streets.
Soon, we got to the hospital and the doctor was there waiting for us.
Her face was inexpressible and I couldn’t understand it.
“What’s wrong doctor?”I asked in anxiety and she sighed.
“He has been coughing out blood since you left, he passed out not quite long ago”
“What!”He Dad stammer and I burst into tears.
Oh Lucian!
Please be safe for me.
“We got the antidote”
“Really?, How?”
“Please done ask questions for now, just go in and check it maybe it’s the correct antidote for it”
“Okay”She nodded and collect the dirty parcel from him.
