| The young surgeon felt differently. He remembered the patient as a man of honor and integrity. Although he may not have always agreed with the man's methods, he knew that their patient had always ben fair in his dealings. He also knew that the man had a great capacity for love and kindness, despite the fact that many of his actions appeared to be extremely cruel. The surgeon was glad that they had been able to save this man, but now he was afraid of what motivated Coronara's actions. He was certain that it was not compassion. He wondered what the future would hold for the man that they had saved. The young surgeon would never learn the answers to his questions. As soon as he left the observation room, Coronara placed a discrete call to a friend who would arrange an unfortunate accident for the far too compassionate young man. He would not survive until the end of the week. It was a shame that this had to be done. He was a talented man and would be difficult to replace, but Coronara would not let anyone interfere with his plans. The young man had become too great a risk. With that unpleasant task finished, Coronara once again turned his attention to his daughter. "You see, nothing will stand in our way, child. You may have your pleasure with him, but when you are done be assured that together we will give Treize Khushrenada a one way ticket straight to Hell." . |
