Andrew's hand twitched and immediately the machine began beeping loudly. His blurry eyes fluttered open to a room he couldn't recognize.
He stared confusingly at the strange room as he couldn't fathom how he had gotten there.
His eyes switched to the other corner of the room and noticed three men staring keenly at him. He wanted to say something but a throbbing headache came surfacing before him.
Immediately one of the men rushed out to call the doctor who came in a few minutes later.
"Mr. Andrew, You're awake?" the doctor said with a smile as he approached Andrew whose eyes stared in confusion.
"He is stable for now", the doctor said after undergoing a series of Checkups.
"If you notice anything strange again you call my attention immediately". The doctor instructed and they all nodded simultaneously.
"I will be in my office", the doctor said and with that, he walked out of the room leaving Andrew alone with the three men.
Andrew glanced back at the men wondering who they were and why they were smiling at him.
"Who are you?" Andrew asked skeptically as he tried recalling the events of the previous day.
The man in his late fifties drew closer to him.
"I am Sebastian Klint". The man said and Andrew stared at him in astonishment.
“That is my surname, who is he and why is he bearing the same surname as me?” Andrew wondered in his thoughts as he glanced back at the man whose face was filled with genuine love and happiness.
"I am your father" the man spoke again as he stared intently at Andrew who gave out a loud sarcastic laugh.
"My father?" He asked, still laughing. His face was fixed on the man who looked dead serious.
"Please Sir, I have no father, I have been in the orphanage all my life, how can I now have a father all of a sudden?". He asked, letting another laugh, but this time it resulted in a choke and the other man rushed and brought a glass of water to him.
"Sorry, take it easy", the man named Sebastine said, rubbing his back smoothly. After Andrew was now calm Sebastine spoke.
"Yes, I am your father and the person that brought you here is your uncle, Jeremy Klint". he said and pointed at the man sitting next to him. He called me earlier to inform me that he had found my missing son of 20 years. Sebastine Klint said with a smile.
Andrew stared at Sebastian in surprise as he spoke confidently. He had many thoughts running through his mind at that moment, he didn't want to think much since he noticed the banging headache kept resurfacing anything he tried to recall the previous events that occurred.
"How are you sure I am your missing son? I mean how did you know about me?" Andrew questioned with a quizzical expression on his face as he waited curiously for their response.
The other man named Jeremy drew his chair closer to where Andrew was and stared at Sebastian who signaled him to speak.
"I found you on the road two nights ago". Jeremy began. "And I brought you to the hospital immediately after you asked for my help".
"The nurses and doctors took you in since you were in a critical condition and needed an emergency at the time. When they tried removing your clothes that were stained with blood, I noticed a familiar birthmark on the right-hand side of your ribs, and since it was only the Klints that had such a birthmark, I decided to conduct a DNA test since I had my brother's blood sample. Our family doctor quickly conducted a DNA test and it came out positive that you are truly my brother's son, so I called my brother to come immediately. We also conducted some tests after he came and found everything to be true. we are sure that you're truly his son". Jeremy said, glancing at Sebastine who nodded in agreement.
Andrew stared at Jeremy all the while he spoke, to him, it was like Jeremy was speaking in tongues all the while. He wondered why he couldn't come up with the reason that landed him at the hospital even when different pictures kept flashing in his memory.
He stared at the men whose focus was fully on him, he was still in doubt if what they had said was true.
Andrew furrowed his brows inquisitively. "How did I get missing?" He asked all of a sudden.
Sebastian cleared his throat before speaking.
"Twenty years ago, you and your mom visited the amusement Park on your birthday. After having fun, while you were about to come back, a bomb blast occurred on the way and burnt her to ashes, we didn't even know you were alive all through, even when my brother told me he found you, I was in doubt because I saw no remains of your bodies that day, but I am glad that you are alive and strong", he said with tears and at the moment, Andrew was already feeling emotional as he watched the elderly man that was now his father shed tears like a child, he knew this was a very horrible experience and felt bad that his mother had to die in such a horrible way.
"I am so sorry Sir, I am sorry you had to go through all this pain". Andrew said with deep pity as he consoled Sebastine who wiped his tears quickly with his handkerchief.
"It's fine, thank You". He nodded and glanced at Andrew with a serene smile.
Andrew stared curiously at the other man who had been standing behind Sebastine for a long time and wondered who he was. Sebastine traced where his eyes landed and observed how inquisitively Andrew stared at him.
"This is my Butler. Mr Finn Reed". He introduced Finn to Andrew immediately.
"I am very happy to have you back, Young Master". Finn said with a smile.
"Young master?" Andrew whispered to himself in surprise and immediately the doctor came in and after assessing Andrew and his health status, he told Sebastine that Andrew was fine and they were good to go.
The doctor also advised that they should keep an eye on Andrew and give him the required drugs to enable his brain to heal. They all listened attentively to the doctor's instructions before leaving the hospital.
The drive home was smooth and they arrived twenty minutes later.
Andrew enjoyed the cool and comfy drive that he didn't even notice when they arrived.
Andrew stepped out of the car and noticed the surroundings before him. His mouth went wide in agape at the captivating building in front of him and he stared at it gobsmacked.
He could swear this was the biggest mansion in the City.
