Framed 5

The final strap to Mr Cypher's rationale snapped. "Dad, I can't have Kahlan staying in the mansion anymore. She's a bad influence on my kids" " what do you mean, she is also your daughter" the old man's voice was shaking, he was really going to have a heart attack because of his son. "I do not have such a disgraceful daughter!" Mr Cypher shouted back "You!...how can you...how" pointing a shaky finger at his son, the old man's face turned red. He slumped, immediately falling unconscious. "Grandpa!" Kahlan immediately ran to his side before she could touch him her father shouted in anger "don't you dare touch him" pushing her off to the side, he bent down to check his father. No one expected what had happened, madam Cypher was still seething in shock ' what on earth happened?!' stiffly rushing to his side with her daughter with a worried look on her face, she started shedding tears. "What Happened to father". "I don't know love, don't worry. He will be fine" he said gently wiping off her tears. Hah! what a joke how can she be worried, she was elated and jumping for joy in her heart. The heavens were truly helping her remove her ugly enemies, the old sly fox always getting on her nerves will finally be out of her way. She could finally get all she wants and send that village rat to some dark hole to die. "Quick! save grandpa, father please...I don't want him to die" Kahlan was literally crawling on the floor with tear filled face. No she couldn't afford to lose grandpa, he was the only one that cared about her. " I don't want to hear you speak! bad omen! it's all your damn fault!" Kahlan watched as the old man was helped to the car...and the father mother daughter trio left for the hospital. She could only pray silently that nothing happens to her grandfather.

*At the hospital

"What is wrong with my father doctor?" after three long hours of waiting outside the emergency room, Mr Cypher was getting irritated. He should be hugging his wife's soft body at home or better still rolling in the sheets with her. The doctor finally came out, what a relief. "Sir, the old master is suffering a serious heart dysfunction for months now. Did he not inform you all...He has been coming for checkups every week" " what?! are you sure about this?" Mr Cypher was in great disbelief, this old man is unbelievably despicable...humph! serves him right."Yes Mr Cypher" the doctor was confused, aren't they supposed to know? They are family! "He is supposed to stay in an environment with absolute serenity, and shouldn't be aggravated to anger at all" Now it made sense to madam Cypher...he wanted to protect that brat, if they knew about this...they would have convinced him into leaving for a calmer place or another serene city. "so how is he now doctor?" madam Cypher gently asked with a worried filled expression. That was the most important thing to her now, she had to know to make a move. "His condition is very serious, he is in coma...I don't think he will be waking up soon"
