Chapter 451 - Arch Nemesis



Noah's eyes narrowed dangerously as soon as Maggie finished speaking. "Are you sure about this, Maggie?"

"Yes, I am, Noah. I have seen the man, and he is Charles Miller. I wanted to tell you everything. But I was in a hurry to leave the hellhole, and then Joshua was shot. However, now I cannot wait any longer, not when the dangerous man in the same hospital." Maggie continued to blabber, not caring about what the man would think about her. His knowing the truth was more important than her image before him.

Noah then remembered the men who were accompanying Charles in the morning, and it clicked him where he had seen them. They resembled the security Jared always had around him. "I see. Thank you, Maggie, for informing me."

Observing his grave expression, Ian came to him, leaving the girls to themselves. "Is everything alright?"

Noah shook his head, and instead of answering him directly, he sent him a message and gestured him to read it. The hospital was not a safe place for them to talk about matters like these, especially when the enemy was lurking right around the corner. What if somebody were to hear him? 'No, I cannot allow it. This is our turf, and I will not allow that Jared or his damn Godfather to touch us.' 

Ian's eyes widened on reading the message, and Noah nodded at him in confirmation. "Maggie just called to inform me."

"What a horrible coincidence is this!!!" Ian gritted his teeth, his hands craving for the man's blood whose men tried to kill his best friend. However, his rationality stopped him, and he put a leash to the monster in him that was ready to let loose, thirsty for blood. The only two people who mattered to him were his friends, Noah and Joshua, and both their lives had been in danger, and it was all somehow related to one man, who now lay in his hospital seeking treatment.

Aria and Ivy observed the two men and their stern expressions. Ivy gave a questioning look at Aria, only to receive a shrug and a shake of her head. Unable to stop themselves, they approached the two men who were discussing silently. 

"Is everything alright?" Aria queried, concern and care evident in her eyes. Noah shook his head and sent a message to the group chat.

"Read the message." He replied, his serious face making Aria frown.

The two girls opened the group chat and what they saw made them freeze. "Here?" Aria pointed towards the ground and mouthed her question, trying to confirm the man's words.

"Yes," Noah rubbed his forehead, clenching his jaw. Just like Ian, he was just short of losing his cool.

"Who is his doctor, by the way?" Aria asked, putting a stop to their texting.

"I am not sure. I need to check at the reception." Ian sighed, frustrated by the turn of events.

"I'll go with you. Ivy, stay with Noah." Aria and Ian then proceeded towards the reception to find out what had happened to the man who was responsible for almost all their miseries.

"Ian," Aria's voice garnered Ian's attention, and he nodded at her, waiting for her to continue. "Do you think this man was responsible for Noah's injury too?" Aria moved closer to Ian and reduced her voice as much as possible. Although her voice was anything but loud, she did not want to invite danger, knowing that there were dangerous men in the hospital.

"What do you mean, Aria?" Ian stopped suddenly, and seeing him halt, even Aria stopped walking.

"I am not sure. I have this hunch that this man was somehow responsible for it, although I don't know how." Aria frowned, trying to arrange her thoughts clearly. However, something was missing, and she did not know what.

"Aria, what are you hinting at?"

At that moment, two nurses walked by, and Aria shook her head at him. "Can we talk about this later? Let me sort my thoughts first."

Ian stared at her for a few seconds before he gave up. "Aria, we will talk about this later." With that, the duo walked towards the reception.

"Excuse me," Ian tapped at the desk, his actions gaining the receptionist's attention. Seeing him stand before her, the receptionist stared at him starstruck. Ian was one of the eligible bachelors among the doctors in Regal Medical Hospital, and many nurses and female staff had a crush on him. Seeing him stand before her, the receptionist could not control the spike in her heartbeat.

Aria chuckled seeing the woman's lovestruck expression while Ian ignored it. "May I take a look at the register?" Ian queried, and the receptionist nodded at him, her tongue refusing to help her speak at that moment.

Rolling his eyes at her, Ian went around the desk and cleared his throat, his voice making the woman move away. He checked the entries on the computer, trying to find the man he wanted. He did not have to search for long. The moment he opened the day's records, his eyes fell on Charles Miller's entry.

Ian's eyes narrowed seeing the man's name, and he clicked on his name, opening his file. He went through it thoroughly, trying to find what had happened to him. When he returned after reading his report, Aria raised his eyebrows at him only to find Ian shaking his head. He gestured Aria to turn around with his eyes, and Aria did so secretly, only to find Charles's men walking by.

Even though Aria did not know them, Aria could guess who they were after Ian's warning. Just like Noah, Ian too had recognized him at first glance. "Let's keep walking, shall we?" Ian smiled at her, and the duo started to walk. "I'll send the details to the group. We don't know how many from his gang are around us."

Aria nodded at him and heard her phone ping the next minute. It was best they conversed through messages lest someone from Jared's gang should chance upon them.

'Minor brain stroke due to high blood pressure.' 

Ian's message reached the other three people, and Noah ran his fingers through his hair in annoyance. 'I need to be careful from now on.' Noah contemplated. 'This man is more powerful than Jared, and I must keep an eye on him.' Although Jared and Charles were his arch-nemesis, Noah was not the one to strike someone at their lowest point, especially when he was sick. Moreover, if something unusual were to happen to him in the hospital, it would be his friend who would be facing the consequences. 'I now need to come up with a careful plan to defeat him once and for all.'
