VENGEFUL SHACKLES

Another secret

"I didn't expect you'd see me here so soon!" said a man who welcomed Frans to the old building.

While Bertha told her to come home waiting for her at home with the others, she felt sure if she knew who the perpetrator was sending her messages and asked her to meet at the place.

"It turns out you're the one, exactly what I thought you were!" answer Frans.

"That's just a little warning to you, I hope you know that I'm not playing around in this" the man said.

"It's our business, there's no need to involve anyone else, let alone my grandchildren" Frans said.

"Hahaha, you love your granddaughter so much, apparently, but-that kid is adorable, I told you so much about your granddaughter, she said, next time I'll go back to see your granddaughter and tell her the story of how her grandfather died" the man said.

Frans's face was immediately pale to hear that.

"Close your mouth! You promised not to talk about it again!" snapped Frans.

"I kept my promise to keep my mouth shut, so what about your promise?"

"I've given you a lot of money, to stuff your rotten mouth!" upset Frans.

"Don't pretend to be amnesiac, you promised me to take your place, but you didn't keep your word, you're greedy, you're crazy for wealth and power!" maki the guy.

"It wasn't me who gave the position to my son, but Mr. Mark himself gave it to me because by then my son was going to marry his daughter, what could I do?" elak Frans's.

"You think I don't know, if you're the one who desperately betrothed them to keep that important position in your hands, the power and control of the hospital remains under your control? then what if your son and Mr. Mark knew that you were a drug mafia and the Permata hospital were deliberately made a shield by you for your illegal drug shipment?" said the man again.

"Alex, shut up! Don't talk as if you are the most pure and holy here, even you enjoy the fruits of my business, not a little money I give you, so why are you still after my position?" frans' eyes glanced back and forth, looking around, making sure no one else heard this important conversation with Alex, the man who knew the secret of his crimes.

Alex is one of the doctors at the jewel hospital, he also happened to be handling his father Paula who was exposed to heart strain, but suddenly Frans came.

"How's the patient doing?" frans asked as he entered Paula's father's ward.

"The condition of the patient is stable, doc." Alex replied respectfully, because it is rare for the hospital director to jump directly to see patients, especially if these patients are only 3rd class patients not VIP patients.

"Leave me with her, I'll check her condition" Frans said.

"B-but,, I've really handled it and it's been good." Alex was confused, it was an awkward thing Frans wanted to examine the patient with his own hands, especially Alex had also said if the patient's condition was stable, he said, doesn't that mean Frans doesn't believe in the work he's done on patients.

"No need to protest, I have a little business with this patient" Frans said.

Although still with confusion and doubt, Alex finally obeyed the orders of his superiors, of course he did not dare to fight Frans who was the highest official in the hospital where he worked.

"You awake? You must know who I am? Didn't I warn you long ago to keep your daughter away from my son? But they got married, I had big plans for my son, and your daughter was a hindrance to the plan I had arranged, now don't blame me if I separate them my way, your son will soon be gone from my son's life, and your daughter will soon be a widow." Frans said.

Paula's father, who at that time could hear all Frans' words, could only open his mouth to say something to Frans, but what power, his weak body could not do anything, just to get his voice out.

"What do you want to say? Do you want to beg for your daughter? You'll be saddened to see your daughter's fate, what if I helped you not to witness your daughter's fall?" frans' hand deliberately closed the flow of oxygen that became Paula's father's breathing apparatus, when the devil had mastered the body and mind.

"Doctor! What are you doing?" reprimanding Alex, apparently the curious Alex did not really go, he peeked and eavesdropped on Frans' talk, he also saw what Frans did to Paula's father, so as the doctor who handled the patient, he, he feels scared if anything happens and he has to take responsibility for it.

"Don't interfere! You wait in my room, there's something I want to talk to you about after this, assume you don't hear and see anything here, if you still want to work at this hospital!" threat French.

Alex was terrified and he immediately turned to leave Frans with the patient, then was followed up by the Frans who also left the room, leaving the patient with a closed oxygen hose, so that makes Paula's father at that time short of breath.

*Flashback off

"Doctor Alex? What are you guys talking about here?" ask Joshep.
