Screeches of car tires soared through the air as Jeremiah, sitting behind the wheels of his car, skillfully drifted into the next street leading towards the Aleric University Medical Center.He glanced in his rearview mirror from the girl to Mason, who ignored Jeremiah's injured hands and nodded for him to step on the gas as they had limited time left.Jeremiah hit the gas, and people who were crossing the road increased their pace, clearing the path for the incoming car, which hit its brakes and stopped at the entrance to Aleric Medical Center. Jeremiah turned off the engine and exited the car to assist Mason, who carefully carried the girl into the hospital while maintaining a rapid pace.The nurse at the counter in the lobby noticed the two boys ushering an unconscious girl into the building, quickly put down her telephone, and rushed to help them.She adjusted her eyes from the blood on Mason's shirt and placed her two fingers on the girl's neck to check her pulse. “Put her here
The head nurse glanced at the unconscious patient in shock as reality hit her hard. She didn't know the patient she assumed was a poor and uninsured student at Aleric University turned out to be the daughter of not just a rich man but one of the most recognized neurosurgeons in the country, and his only daughter could die due to her carelessness in deciding to transfer her to another hospital.With the consequence of her decision flashing between her eyes, the head nurse swallowed the lump in her throat and adjusted her gaze to nurse Tina, who could see her panic and was relieved she didn't follow her instructions, which could have ruined her career.“Why isn't anyone doing anything?” Mason and the doctor yell at the same time, forcing the young man to glance at him before adjusting his gaze between the nurses.“How long has she been here?” he asked nurse Tina, who was about to give him an answer when the head nurse interrupted.“Why didn't you inform me we have a VIP patient who is a
Everybody who was wondering what the VC assistant was doing here turned their eyes on him and the nurse who was walking in their direction."You can go now," the VC assistant said to the girl, who glanced at the head nurse before retracing her footsteps. The man rested his gaze on the young chairman and was about to bow his head when Mason quickly cleared his throat and stretched out his hand. "Oh my God, you're the VC assistant!" Mason exclaimed with a smile. "Good morning, sir," he greeted, and the assistant, understanding his action, quickly took his handshake."Good morning, Mason. How is our prestigious student doing today?" he asked with a reciprocated smile."I'm fine, sir," Mason replied, turning to Jeremiah, who overcame his stunned expression as he recalled that his best friend was now prestigious, which must be why the Vice chairman's assistant recognized him.The head nurse, who didn't expect to see higher-ups at the medical center, quickly overcame her shock. She smiled
The head nurse, forcing out a smile, watched as the figures of Mason and Mr. Charles approached her. The look on their faces gave her a hint that Mason had exposed her corruption to Mr. Charles, who must have believed him as he wore a frown while staring at her.Thinking of a way out of the situation, she quickly stepped forward. "Mr. Charles, is there a problem?” she asked, facing a surprised expression as she shifted her eyes from him to Mason, who also wore a similar expression. "Does this have anything to do with our misunderstanding?" she asked when nobody replied.Mason, amazed by the lady's acting, shook his head and said, “Mrs Hegal We all know about the crimes you have been committing using the medical center, so please drop the act.”The head nurse, feigning a surprise expression at Mason's accusation, heaved a sigh and turned to Mr. Charles. “Sir, there was a misunderstanding between me and this student earlier, and I didn't get the opportunity to correct it, so whatever he
“That is good,” Mason said to Mrs. Hegel, his voice filled with authority. “The information you provide to the university will determine their next course of action, so if I were you, I would produce all the names to speed up the investigation and resolve these issues as quickly as possible,” he added.The head nurse hanging by a thread nodded, her face filled with regret and shame as the scholarship student she had thought was a nobody had done more damage to her career by underestimating him, and even when she wasn't sure the university would pardon her, she was ready to give out the details of the center activities and those who were involved in using the VIP wings to extort money from the student. “I believe Mr. Chalres can handle everything from here,” Mason said, then glanced at the VC assistant.Mr. Charles nodded his head. “I will inform the school management and prepare the necessary information that will be released in the memo,” he replied.Mason nodded his head and turned
Mason and Jeremiah arrived at their location, scanning the front of the administration building, which was flooded with several cars. Jeremiah quickly dismissed the idea of parking his car with the other car due to the difficulty of getting out of the limited space where student and university staff cars were parked.Parking a few meters from the building, Jeremiah turned his head at Mason, who reciprocated his action with a grin.“So where did you park your so-called Bugatti?” he asked, unstrapping his seat belt to follow Mason, who exited the car and wiggled his smart key at his friend.Jeremiah, not surprised to see the object with the Bugatti logo created on it, rolled his eyes and said, “Bro, nowadays, anyone could customize their car keys to look like that for a few dollars,” he said, and at the end of his statement, a smile appeared on Mason's face, making Jeremiah's grin shrink in curiosity. Different thoughts ran through his mind, unable to predict if Mason was pranking him.
Several heads turned in surprise as they watched Cleopatra and Mason step out of their class, together creating sudden whispers among them.“Did Mason just ask Cleopatra out?” A student whispered, causing his friend to give him a stern look.“He didn't ask her out; he told her he needed to speak with her,” the other student responded.“If he isn't going to ask her out, what else does Mason have to discuss with Cleopatra?” Another curious student chips in.Flora, who was seeing the situation, was escalating with whispers. She cleared her throat and said, “Don't tell me you all haven't seen the rich and popular guys that have been begging Cleopatra for a chance?” She inquired, gaining their attention. “I will say this again: Cleopatra is way off that poor thing pretending to be rich.”Her words sent more whispers among the students, who agreed with her words.Meanwhile, Cleopatra, taking the stairs to the fifth floor, pulled out a security car and placed it at the hidden door, which Mas
"Is this a joke to you, Mason?" Cleopatra shrieked at him with a surprised expression. Mason, understanding her sudden confusion, stood to his feet. He reached for Cleopatra's hand, but she shrank away. "What do you mean by a cure?" She added.Mason expected her to give him that reaction, but he didn't expect it would be this hard for him to explain to her that what several professional doctors have diagnosed as having no cure has a cure, and he found it."Calm down, Cleopatra. Listen to me," he said. I know you're shocked to hear such news, but you have to believe me when I say I found a cure for your sister's tumor."Caught off guard by his repeated statement, Cleopatra frowned, her eyes raging with anger. She didn't anticipate Mason, whom she had begun to trust, would be joking around with a situation she found sensitive."You have found the cure for my sister's tumor? How is that possible? How could you say such a thing when you're not a doctor!?" Cleopatra scoffed with confusion,
