Amazing Doctor Richester

Chapter Five

Doctor Hailey, one of the senior doctors, came into the hospital room when she heard the report from the nurses.

Richester was seriously attending to the woman by disinfecting her injury, honestly he didn't know what he was doing but his hands kept on working faster than he could control it.

"You started it so get ready to bear the consequences. Your wife will definitely throw you out this time." Hailey informed him curtly in a mocking tone.

"I'm doing what's right and I have already agreed to bear the consequences." He said absentmindedly as he rounded up bandaging the woman's injury.

"Better! I laugh at you so much and can't wait to see you homeless." She sneered in annoyance and stormed out of the room.

Shortly, the woman's husband came in looking anxious.

"Sir, how's my wife?" He asked as he approached his wife who was lying on the bed.

Richester had already arranged her wound and cleaned her with the spirit. She was looking better than before.

"Your wife will wake up in no time. She just needs some rest." He said to the man confidently and the man exhaled in relief.

"System Activation complete! First task, Accomplish." The familiar computerized voice said in his head as he started seeing the loading sign.

"New inventory, Visibility." It continued.

He was surprised that everything was real, he looked at the poor man and noticed that he could see the man's skeleton and everything about the man.

"What the…?" He closed his eyes and looked at the woman, it was the same thing.

"This is crazy." He tried to snap out of the thought but it was real.

"Are you okay?" The man asked him, he shook his head.

"Yes, maybe tired." He excused himself and planned to go home.

The mission was completed, he wasn't expecting anything other than his life because the ultimate punishment was loss of an organ.

"You have two options: Gain knowledge of medicine or Money." The computerized voice came up again, immediately he left the hospital.

"Are you being serious right now?" He curled his lips looking curious.

He hated it when his feeling was being toyed with and embarrassment. He has gone through enough of it from his family, he wouldn't be able to bear it if even a computer could now embarrass him.

"Yes. Just choose one." The computerized voice said in his head.

Flashing in his eyes, he could see a box of something and money dangling. He salivated.

He knew that having medical knowledge was good but earning money would also be great. He could open his own hospital and pay everyone that has humiliated him back. He wanted revenge so much that he felt money made the world go round thus it must be in his possession.

"Money." He finally made a decision after some minutes.

He thought it was a scam when the computer didn't respond to him again, so he started the car engine and returned back home.

His phone beeped and he picked it up anxiously. In the past few years, he hasn't gotten any phone calls or messages aside from customer service.

"You have been credited with $1,000000000" the message read.

Richester almost jumped out of his bed in shock.

"What?!" He double checked the message again and again to make sure that it wasn't a scam and that his eyes weren't deceiving him.

"What? 1 Billion?! In a time like this?" His mouth hangs in the air in astonishment.

Since he was born, he has never possessed such an amount of money. He was in cloud nine finding it unbelievable. He counted the digits over and over again with his eyes dazzling in shock.

He tried to check the sender and all he could see was triple "D".

"That means… that means this system is real?" He stuttered still in shock.

All through the night, Richester had to continuously check his phone to make sure that the money was still there. He hasn't been more alert and anxious like this in his entire life.

Fortunately, the Mandela's were already absent when he left home which gave him easy access without their usual morning drama.

He rushed to the ward where he had registered the poor couple. They were discussing in a low tone as he stepped in.

"I wasn't able to thank you last night. Thank you so much for saving my wife's life, Mr. Richester." The poor man said sincerely with his hands cupping his wife's hands.

"I don't know what would have happened to me if not for your quick action. I'm grateful." The wife followed suit.

"I'm glad that you are fine, you don't need to thank me." He said, smiling happily.

The fact that he was awarded massively was enough.

Soon, the door pushed open and Stella came in with her best friend, Zoey.

"Yo idiot! I heard you took in those patients I denied access to come in and even treated them. How come you possess such guts?!" Stella yelled at his face in anger.

"Your husband was very smart, lady. He saved my life perfectly, you should be grateful to have such a good man." The poor woman tried to defend Richester but Stella laughed loudly.

"Did you hear these fools?" Stella rolled her eyes in disgust and faced Zoey.

"Yeah… right?" Zoey also played along so she won't get on her friend's bad side.

Zoey was Richester's secret crush and someone he desired the most. But he had no courage to approach or even speak with her. Everything became impossible when he married Stella, but then his heart still remained with Zoey.

"Will you keep embarrassing me wherever you go?" The fact that his crush was there, watching him look helpless really embarrassed him.

"Oh? So, you now know what shame tastes like? That suits you because you are a brute. I told you not to touch any of my hospital equipment or do anything!" She raised her voice at him, even the poor couple couldn't believe that a woman can mock her husband so much without respect.

"Babe, this is a public place…." Zoey tried to stop her but Stella pushed her away.

"That's enough reason why I have to put him in his place! Act like that useless man and not someone who's high and mighty, do you know anything other than wasting my family's money?" She said in contempt and he became provoked.

"Stella!" He gritted his teeth in anger.

She had overstepped her boundary.

"What? Are you going to slap me? Can you even do that?" She raised a dissatisfied brow while curling her lips in mockery.

He has gotten to the max of what he could carry. Then it hit him that he still had a fortune lying in his bank account. He pulled his doctor coat and threw it at her face.

"I quit! I'm no longer working in this hospital!" He said seriously in anger.

She was taken aback by his action.
