He had been bullied by this family for three years. He had the lowest position in the family and did everything for the family.
This was not a testament of inferiority or weak will, rather it was repayment of Old man Takyi’s kindness. He did not complain as he saw this as a test to horn his character and ability.
‘This could be linked to an injured tiger suffering from grave injuries. The tiger lies in its lair and licks its wounds. After the tiger’s injuries heal, it would become ferocious again’ This was the only thought that passed through his mind every time he was bullied or ridiculed.
“If it was not for the old man, I would have had you divorce my daughter and kick you out of my house from day one. Selina is still beautiful and fresh as morning dew, many young masters would be willing to marry her. It would have been a waste to have her tainted by you, fortunately, young master Zenith came along and after some persuasion, Selina made a wise choice and gave herself to him.” Georgina added in a derisive tone.

“I’ve been serving your family faithfully for three whole years. One would even develop feelings for a dog after such a long time…” Kelvin lamented with a tear running down his cheek.
He had suffered for three years, enduring the bullying and ridicule from the Takyi family. Fortunately, the marriage contract would end in a few days when it was old man Takyi’s seventieth birthday celebration.
“I’m really hopeless, aren’t I ?” Kelvin’s commented in a self-depreciating tone as the corner of his lips lifted.
“After three long years, I should start to grow, right?” A glint of hostility flashed in Kelvin Johnson’s eyes. His ambitions never died out, his plan for revenge, soon, but one thing was for certain, his determination was unshakable.
He took out his phone and sent two voice messages to old man Takyi. The messages contained his meeting with the mother and daughter he had met earlier today. He chose to inform old man Takyi of what was going on and how the marriage had progressed, it was also to express his good will.
He soon got up and left.
Two hundred meters behind Kelvin, a Maybach with a license plate from West Hills, a large sized city, filled with dragons and phoenixes, second only to Platinum City, came to halt on the side of the main road.
After the window wined down, a long-haired, elegant-looking girl could be seen frowning as she stared at Kelvin, who was just leaving.
“So this is the guy we have been in search of?” The woman scrutinized Kelvin.
“Miss, perhaps… You may have mistaken him for someone else. He does not have the aura of a young master. He… he… looks ordinary.” A man, who dressed like a bodyguard, said with uncertainty.
Carolina Cross remained silent. Making a gesture, she ordered, “Bring him to the car.”
“Yes, Miss” Her body guards alighted from the car and made their way towards Kelvin.
The body guards moved swiftly and immediate caught up with Kelvin. The leader patted on his shoulders as he politely asked, “ Are you by any chance, young master Kelvin Johnson? Our young miss would like to have a word with you.”
Kelvin looked at the body guards, ‘young master, no one has called me that in three years’ he thought.
With a calm expression he answered, “wrong person.”
The body guards stood there with an awkward expression as they watched Kelvin walk away. They had no choice but to return to the car.
“Miss, that guy is arrogant, he did not give us face and utterly rejected us.” The leader of the group said, with indignation, as soon as he returned to the car.
“Interesting,” Carolina said lightly with a smile on her face when she heard this, “find out where he is going.”
Moments later, the guards handed a tablet to Carolina.
“Miss, he is currently heading towards first people’s hospital. From the records, he seems to be visiting a friend who is currently suffering from a serious illness.”
This was the power of the Cross Family from West Hills!
In just a few moments, they were able to find out where Kelvin was headed and why?
Carolina glanced through the information on the tablet. It contained all the information regarding Kelvin Johnson, from the day he set foot in Petronia City.
“So that is why, drive to the hospital.” Carolina told the driver.
The Maybach set off, heading towards first people’s general hospital.
Kelvin was indeed heading towards the hospital, he was going there to visit his only friend in the city, James Watson.
James was the only friend Kelvin had ever since he stayed in the city. He situation was similar to kelvin’s that was how they became friends.
He was once the son of Watson family, a third-rate family in East Legon, a medium sized city in the Platinum region of the empire. His mother died during child birth, as such his father remarried. His stepmother, popularly known as Lady Watson, treated him poorly. She discriminated against him since childhood and made sure James rarely interacted with his step siblings.Although from a rich family, James rarely interacted with his dad, as he would always side with his step mother, as such he left the East Legon and came to Petronia City. Not in such of riches, rather peace, quiet and decent life.
Kelvin sympathized with him and they became close friends, he also told his story, but it was the doctored version, of course.
When he reached the hospital, Kelvin immediately went to the payment office, wanting to communicate with the hospital, and to inform them that the medical expenses would be delayed for a few days.
However, when he asked the nurse, he was suddenly told that James Watson had been transferred to one of the best hospitals in West Hills.
