DESTINED TO BE A BILLIONAIRE Chapter 15
Henry pressed his eyes against each other and slowly opened them. He felt his arms wrapped around something or someone rather. When he darted his gaze down, he saw Stacey in his arms, smiling at him. She was tucked beneath the sheets just like him. The sheets were the only covering around them. Henry’s eyes widened when the flashes of the previous night came wavering on his mind. Stacey was looking up at him with her eyes filled with desire. “Good morning, sleepy head.” “What time is it?” he quickly sat up and wiped his eyes with the edge of his left palm. Stacey stared at the wall clock. “noon on the dot.” She turned to Henry with a smile. “What a perfect time to wake up.”Henry’s brows went up in disbelief. “noon?” He then looked through the window. The sun was already up, shining brightly. “How on earth did I sleep for this long?” He cried out and lowered the sheet to his waist. Henry would always wake up at dawn to collect trash. It was the first time in 6 years that he ha

Benedict went on nodding like a puppet while Henry made things clear. Henry was making use of every nerve in his finger pointed at Benedict to pass the message. He wasn’t throwing cheap threats. “You can leave now,” Henry concluded and in an instant, Benedict vanished. When Henry went back to the hotel room, Stacey had already packed their bags. They dashed out. When they got to the reception, they met Mr. Cross.“We will take our leave. We had a good time.” Henry said. Mr. Cross smiled. “It’s an honor to hear that from you. Did you come with a car? I can make arrangements for a private vehicle to take you to your destination.”Henry shook his head. “That wouldn’t be necessary.”Mr. Cross walked them to the door. When they got outside, Stacey moved to the spot where she had parked her car the previous day. She stepped on the driver’s corner and after Henry got in, she drove off. “Let’s go to the hospital,” Henry said after Stacey drove past the hotel. She smiled. “Of course.”Th

Nurse Betty shook her head. “Calm down, miss. Your father is alive.”Stacey heaved a sigh of relief. Henry caught himself smiling. “Your father is in the treatment room.” The nurse supplied. “Got it,” Stacey replied and ran toward Henry. She grabbed him by the hand and ran out. She ran straight to the treatment room. Her father was once taken there so Stacey knew exactly where the room was. It was upstairs, right on top of the ward. When they there, Stacey noticed that the door was open so she simply barged in. She was taken aback by the spectacle before her. Her poor father was the only one in the room. He was in a wheelchair, crouched in a corner breathing heavily. Stacey quickly let go of Henry’s hand. “Dad! Are you okay?”The old man slowly lifted his head. “Why are you the only one here?” She rushed to him and knelt in front of him. She began to sob. When patients are brought to the treatment room upstairs, it means they were in need of urgent care and the room is mostly

Dr. Derrick took his head into his hands, acting like he was feeling dizzy. “Did you say 10 million?”Over the years as a doctor, Derrick had met various patient relatives. Some people sold their properties to raise the needed hospital bills and some had to take loans and ended up bankrupt but no one could give out 10 million at once. After concluding that Henry was playing games with him, Dr. Derrick fell back on his chair. He looked up at Henry. “You got so much nerve. You think 10 million is a piece of cake and even if you bring 100 million, it will change nothing. He still can’t stay here.”Henry faced Dr. Derrick. “What are you talking about? Is the hospital full or what?”“And what if I say it’s full.” Retorted Dr. Derrick. He seemed irritated. “Well, he’s already here so there has to be some space,” Henry replied. Stacey palmed her head. It was all too much for her. “The hospital is full. All the wards are taken that’s why he was transferred to the treatment room, the only

“You know what? You should be an actor. You’re very good at this.” Dr. Derrick said after having a good laugh. “You want to buy the best hospital in Marylyn City. Are you kidding me? Do you know how much this hospital is worth?”“Give me half an hour,” Henry said confidently. “Oh really?” Dr. Derrick fired back. “You want to buy the hospital in half an hour now?” he laughed and threw his hands around his head. “Unbelievable!”Henry looked down at Dr. Derrick who was gawking at him. He swallowed the lump that had developed in his throat and promised himself that in about 30 minutes, Power would change hands. Stacey had grown cold. While the men were going back and forth, she was just staring blankly at the grey wall.Dr. Derrick turned to her. “Miss, Stacey. I think your friend has a mental problem. Save yourself the stress and all the trouble. Just think of my suggestion.” He then began to create imaginary circles on the table. “As long as you pledge to serve me well, getting your

The massive hospital with all its staff had just been handed over to someone else at a hat-throw. Dr. Derrick caught himself staring at Henry like a ghost. Who was this guy? He kept wondering. Dr. Derrick couldn’t hold it together anymore. He marched to the scene and faced President Gale. “Are you sure he bought this place? Isn’t this kid a fraud or something?”President Gale gasped and turned to his two assistants who had been silent all along. “Who hired this guy?” he was referring to Dr. Derrick. “How dare he talk to Mr. Parker that way?”“We are sorry, sir.” One of the board members responded and glared at Dr. Derrick. Henry realized that it was time to let the cat out of the bag. He faced President Gale. “Do you know that Dr. Derrick wanted to kick out a patient who was admitted here without any solid reason?”“What?” President Gale was shocked. “Not only that.” Henry continued. “He also tried to force my friend to sleep with him.” Henry was now pointing at Stacey whose hea

Nate continued. “The Gale family has been running this hospital pretty well so I have a suggestion.”Henry folded his arms across his chest and faced Nate. “What’s the suggestion?”President Gale was paying keen attention. “While you take over the shares and ownership rights, I’d like the same management to continue running the hospital,” Nate said. Henry hummed. If he was going to go by Nate’s assertion that the Gale family was most fit to run the hospital then Dr. Derrick had to be an exception. Henry had no intention of ripping them off their management. He knew how important the hospital was to them but he’d appreciate it if the like of Dr. Derrick were fished out.“That’s a wonderful idea. I’m cool with it.” Henry replied. President Gale smiled. “Mr. Parker, on behalf of the Gale family, thank you for your trust.” He bowed. The Gale family had been running Lifeline Hospital for several generations. Normally, if someone offered to buy it, they wouldn’t accept it because lots o

Berry moved closer and winked at Henry. “Hey, I also learned that Benedict was humiliated by you. Is it true?”Henry was speechless. He looked at Berry who seemed eager to get more details about Benedict’s humiliation from him. Henry felt that ever since he got his inheritance, he had been acting quite irrationally. Did he just exercise his power over the hotel and buy the hospital so that people could respect him?He just wanted to prove a point and now, he wondered what made him different from the likes of Benedict and other pompous rich men out there. Could it be that this was the real him? Had he been suppressing his arrogant emotions for the past 6 years that he was collecting trash? Henry kept wondering. Could money make people act differently?Nevertheless, Henry does not like arrogance. He prefers an ordinary and super life. He concluded that his terrible experience with pain, poverty, and ridicule shaped his actions in the last few days. The more he thought about it, the
