“How is he faring?”Montego asked the doctor.
“He’s a strong man sir, he’s responding with speed to the treatment in just less than two weeks. He is indeed of the bloodline.” The doctor said bowing.
“And the family he lived with?” Montego queried.
“Has not been to see him since the day he was dropped off by his wife sir.”
Montego frowned even though he knew the answer to this question before he asked, he was hoping that his master would have atleast received a phone call from the family his master lived with.
“Thank you doctor, you have been of the utmost help.”
Jason murmured something in his sleep and it immediately caught the two men’s attention.
They looked at him to find pairs of red shot eyes looking straight at them.
“Marylin?”Were his first words.
“Where is my Marylin?” He asked.
Montego got a hold of himself and knelt before Jason while the doctor followed suit, with both their forehead touching the ground.
“Greetings to you young master,” they both chorused and rose to their feet.
Montego ran to his side.
“Young master, it is so pleasant to have you come back to us, my head is saved and my death is averted, thank you, thank you, thank you.” The large man in black suit bowed severally .
Jason sighed. “f**k, I must have been hit in the head pretty good,” he muttered, closed his eyes and waved his head in an attempt to shake off the imaginary man and doctor who were acting all weird in front of him.
He opened his eyes, looked from the doctor to the hefty man that was beside him and a light came on.
“Montego? Jason blurted and frowned as waves of emotion clashed into him.
“Young master, young master, you remember?”Montego jumped with glee and kicked his hands into the air to express his profound joy that his master remembered him.
“But how, Montego asked, how do you remember? You aren’t supposed to remember, have you always known who you were all along?”Montego continued to rain questions at his young master when he had thought that when his master woke up he would have to be the one to do the answering.
While he was happy, Jason’s memory had flashed between his eyes in seconds, the man here jumping with glee took part in the reason why he was here today, with a memory his family had set out to make sure that he would not remember who he was.
He’s blood began to boilas he remembered, within seconds he yanked the catheter that carried the supply of his medication into his vein and jumped at Montero, aiming at his nostrils and delivering a sounding blow to it.
Montego was no match to his young master and had not seen the blow coming until he felt the pain, his masters speed was just as he remembered. He shielded his face to avoid another blow while bowing and apologizing.
“You lots f****d me up, you made me live like a beggar, I could have given my wife the best life ever but you took that from me, and for what?”
“I’ll have to excu…. The doctor was about to say before he discovered that quietly excusing himself would have been better as Jason grabbed the plastic chair behind him and hauled it at the doctor who scurried away.
“And for what Montego?”Because my mother was an illiterate, didn’t understand the Pro’s and con’s of managing a company, my father took another wife when I was four and divorced my mother, I have never heard from her again Montego, and my fathers b***h didn’t want to have anything to do with me, she despised me even before she got pregnant, convinced my father to turn me into some kind of a monster for the good of the company by wiping my memory and sending me all by myself at eight years old into the world.”
“You were the one to activate that chip in my head for the first time, took me to the farthest orphanage you could find, left me there and activated this chirp only during times when I’ll would somehow find myself training and learning this high level skill, techniques and knowledge. You were the masked man that dropped me off at the orphanage every time.”
“Master…
“Silence!! You say another word Montego, and I’ll do the dirty job my self.”
Jason was sweating and his veins popped in every angle, his anger reverberated in every corner of the room, his memory was painful, if he could, he would take time a few hours backwards and would not mind to be in the sick bed not knowing who he really was and he would keep it like that.
Montego had sprawled himself unto the floor, he was the butler to his young master’s late father Gulder Rutherford Junior , although the young master does not know this, that his father had died of a stroke a month ago, his grandfather was daring to pass the inheritance to his step brother and sister if he does not return to position as soon as possible, he was shocked when he found out that his young master was in the hospital in a critical condition, hence his fear of him getting killed if the young master did not recover.
Montego was in charge of training the young master until the boy was twenty and leaving with his wife’s parent, he was supposed to be installed as the head of the company on his twentieth birthday, but he young masters father had been convinced by his wife to extend the inheritance until the young master was twenty five, she unfortunately was able to convince him for two years more.
The young master was twenty seven now, his grandfather the founder of the company, a top secret company that was used by every rich and wealthy person in the country, wealthy people abroad, and all the governmental departments in more than four continents both to do good and to do evil, they had access to every country and every billionaires top secret.
They are worth an infinite amount of billions of dollars that increased by the second as they held shares to every owned property and businesses of the rich and wealthy billionaires and all governmental revenue of the continent they governed.
His grandfather Hunter Rutherford had taken charge to make sure that his first grandson was the one to take the position of his late son, hence the need for him to come back to the company.
The young master was trained, and whenever the chirp was turned on, he became a whole different person altogether, a man worthy and more than fit to take over the top secret company. Only thing now is that the chirp must either be broken or had been removed by the doctor.
“Young master, I beg for your forgiveness, have mercy, I am just a butler, I follow orders, please show me mercy.”
The next words out of Jason’s mouth only went further to make the butler tremble.
“Where is my wife, I want to go home. She should be here, tell the doctor to get her, and make sure you don’t try to stop me, else I’ll kill you for real this time.
Montego hesitated.
“What, you can’t speak all of a sudden?”
“Young master you have been in the hospital for over two weeks now, but your wife and her family hasn’t come to visit once, am sorry young master.”
The words out of Montego’s mouth sounded like acid on Jason’s heart, but he composed himself.
Jason was disappointed, but believed his wife might have been restricted from coming to visit him by her parents.
“Am leaving,”Jason made his way out of the hospital room with nothing but his hospital gown.
Montego went after him.
“Young master, but you cannot go out in this, besides we still need to take care of you here in the hospital, please young master, atleast let the doctor confirm that you can leave.”
Jason stoped in his tracks, noticing now that he was really in a hospital gown, he turned to Montego.
“Get me a casual wear and stop following me.”
A few minutes later Jason headed out of the hospital in a casual dress after ignoring the doctor and his butler who he didn’t want to have anything to do with.
His wife should be home now, it was in the early evening, Marylin would be happy to see him.
Montego sighed as he watched his young master being driven away from the hospital, his heart aches for the young master but he could not bring himself to break the sad news to him, so he rather let his young master find out by himself.
