Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 408: Worries

Dr. Turner could see the truth mirrored in the eyes of the man before him, and he then knew that Victor was a man of his word. He did not have any bargaining chip to negotiate with the man in front of him. To be more precise, he was not the least bit qualified to even converse with Victor ever.

Although it was bold of him to declare he was not afraid of death, in fact, how could he not tremble in horror with the mere sight of death flashing before his eyes?

He had dedicated ten years of his life in studying medicine, and he landed on his current position thanks to that much experience. He had not been able to get a higher position yet, but he still enjoyed the benefits that came with his status quo. So how could he die like this without being able to achieve even more than what he had?

That thought made him contemplate on what to do. If he did not go with them, he would definitely die. But if he went with them minus the struggle, he might have higher chances of getting out of their grasps unscathed.

“I’ll go with you.” His voice came out more hoarse and dejected than he had intended.

Dr. Turner then willingly trailed behind them out of the ward. He wondered whether he would be able to stay alive as he hoped.

They had passed many closed doors as they made their way out. Amidst the clacking sound of the soles of their shoes against the floor echoing the aisle, a low thud caused by a door being shut reverberated from behind them. Dr. Turner could not help but pause in his steps, his eyes darting back towards the sound. He realized it came from the door of his office. His heart pounded, but he resumed walking, hoping this would not be the last time he saw this place.

Victor glanced back at Dr. Turner, noticing his hesitation. "Keep moving," he commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument. Dr. Turner nodded and quickened his pace.

As they reached the end of the hallway, a black car awaited them. The door was opened, and Victor gestured for Dr. Turner to get in. He hesitated for a moment, his mind racing with thoughts of escape, but the stern look on Victor's face made him think twice.

Inside the car, Dr. Turner sat between two imposing men, their presence intimidating. He could feel the tension in the air as the car started moving. The silence was heavy, broken only by the sound of the engine and the occasional murmur from Victor and his men.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Dr. Turner's mind wandered back to his days of studying medicine, the long hours spent in the library, the countless nights in the hospital. He had worked so hard to get where he was, and now it all seemed so fragile. The thought of his family crossed his mind, and he silently prayed for their safety.

Victor's phone rang, breaking the silence. He answered it with a curt "Yes?" After a few moments of listening, he replied, "Understood. We'll be there soon."

Dr. Turner's anxiety grew with each passing minute. Where were they taking him? What would happen once they arrived? He could feel the sweat on his forehead, his hands trembling slightly.

The car finally came to a stop in front of an imposing mansion. The gates opened, and they drove inside. Dr. Turner was escorted out of the car and led into the mansion, his heart pounding in his chest.

They entered a grand hall, where a man sat behind a large desk, his expression stern and unyielding. Victor approached the desk and spoke in hushed tones. Dr. Turner couldn't make out the conversation, but he could feel the gravity of the situation.

Finally, Victor turned to Dr. Turner and said, "This is Mr. Blake. You will answer his questions truthfully. Your life depends on it."

Dr. Turner swallowed hard and nodded. He had no choice but to comply and hope for the best.
