The head doctor was shocked and everyone else that heard what Reynaldo said were equally stunned.
It was a fact proven to all that were present that indeed Reynaldo was a rich man given that he weilded such a rare card and could make the transfer of such a huge amount in just a single transaction.
"There is no need for that Sir, I have already assured you that these nurses will be severely punished for their insolence but you don't have to take your mother somewhere else." The head doctor was smart, she did not want to relieve her staff of their duties yet she was careful not to offend such a wealthy man even if she was not certain who exactly he was.
"Is he really that powerful? Look the head doctor who is always so proud in billing people is do humble."
"She is also begging him,"
The comments increased yet Reynaldo's resolve would not weaken.
"Kindly do a refund and I will take my mother to a better hospital." Reynaldo said resolved.
"This is one of the best hospitals in the city, surely you can forgive their negligence." The pleading of the head doctor made the other nurse upset. She was certain that Reynaldo was a stray wannabe so she spoke up.
"Dr, I know you hit the other nurse but I reckon that this man is just a thief and a trouble maker. Surely he has stolen this card and wants a refund while his mother is treated for free.
Reynaldo was shocked, could people be this despicable?
The nurse had seen with her eyes that he was the owner of the card and he had even imputed the pin correctly yet she still sought a means to humiliate Reynaldo simple because he was so simply dressed and had asked for more time several times before.
It was common with some people, it was much easier for the nurse to believe that Reynaldo had stolen the card than for her to believe that he was actually a rich man.
"Nonsense!" Reynoldo said.
"The nurse is right, how can someone so poorly dressed have such a card?"
"This man is so disgusting, he stole a card yet he dared to be so arrogant and disrespectful."
"I think this doctor is blinded by the money he has already transferred that she can't see that he is just a thief and call the police on him already."
The words of others got to the head doctor and she took their words in other not to lose face and protect the integrity of the hospital. The head doctor had her reservations about pushing the matter further. She did not want to take chances by offending Reynaldo even he looked so simple and ordinary.
"Mr Reynaldo, I really apologize for the misunderstanding but with the turn out of events, I may be required to verify your card to prove that you are indeed the owner."
At the head doctor's words, Reynaldo became really concerned. He was certain that the pin Octavio had told him was truly the pin but he was skeptical about whose name the card had been been registered in.
The head doctor wasted no time in bringing the machine for the authentication process, a lot of tension hung in the air and most of all, Reynaldo feared that Kimora could walk in on the scene at any time.
"I doubt there's any need for all of this, I'll just take my mother and leave if you have difficulty making a refund." Reynaldo said but the head doctor already brought the machine.
"Sir if you had said that earlier then you would have been able to walk out freely but after the suspicious allegations raised at our hospital because of you, I'm sorry you can't leave this place until I verify the card in your possession. If you cooperate then we will not need to involve the police or anyone at all." The head doctor despite finding herself in such a compromising position, she still addressed Reynaldo respectfully.
She had heard stories herself and she was not ready to be a victim of one of those circumstances whose stories would be used as examples to others.
The tension in the air at the time was palpable one could literally taste it, it was so tangible that you could even cut through it yet Reynaldo and the doctor both seemed unmoved.
Wherever the confidence came from, Reynaldo didn’t know but he agreed to submit his debit card and Identity card alongside it, he had thought to himself to call Octavio to save himself if the need arose.
He tapped his pocket and when he found that Octavio's complementary card was still in it he handed his cards over. "Do whatever verification you want to do but just be certain that I will surely take up the matter afterwards because it was my father that gave me the card so it must not necessarily match with my ID card,"
Reynaldo needed to clear the air a bit so the hatred he received for free would be less but while he spoke, the situation only got worse.
"Just look at him, he was very confident a while ago when he put his pin but now he's making excuses."
"What father is he even talking about, he definitely scammed and old lady and manipulated her into telling the pin so disgusting."
"I'll call the police at once Ma'am, they will lock this thie--"
Slap!
The head doctor equally gave the second nurse a tight slap across her face to silence her.
"What is wrong with you? Are you trying to give our hospital a bad name on purpose?" The head doctor scolded the nurse who held her face in her hand.
"I am very sorry Sir, please take your card." She put both her hands together and sought mercy from Reynaldo.
Indeed the details had aligned.
"But Ma'am, is he..." the nurse trailed off on her sentence when she heard her Boss' response.
"The card belongs to him yet you are being so rude to him even in my presence! Is this how you treat the people who entrust the lives of their loved ones to you?" Since the confirmation was made, the head doctor did not spare the nurse at all.
That nurse had almost made her offend such a wealthy man in the city.
"Apologize to him immediately and afterwards, the both of you are off work for the rest of the month," she paused.
"If I were you, I will look to apply somewhere else as well." At her words both nurses went around the counter and threw themselves on the floor at Reynaldo's feet.
"Please Sir forgive us, we have made a very big mistake. Please do not take any action against the hospital for our foolishness."
Reynaldo stepped away, he did not like the idea of people groveling at his feet at all but the nurses won't stop.
That was when his wife Kimora walked right in through the reception door.
"Just get up and commence with the surgery." Reynaldo immediately changed his mind before Kimora got to where they were
Reynaldo stepped outside the hospital with his wife because they were done with the business had dragged them down there; his mother's surgery had been scheduled and a specialist surgeon was going to perform the surgery in a few days. On his way outside with his wife, Reynaldo couldn’t help but think about the figurine of Madame Wyatt that he had mistakenly broken, she seemed really pissed about it and now that he had money, it wouldn’t hurt for him to try at least to get another one. He did not want to get another one to prove to her that he had money rather he wanted to get another one because that was how he was, he did not like to be indebted to people and he was already indebted to the Wyatt family for so long and about so much but not entirely because they were also indebted to him.Reynaldo flagged down a cab and turned to face Kimora, he flashed a genuine smile at her, “Can you go home, I will meet you there, I just remembered something that I need to get,” he said.“Ok,” sh
Reynaldo turned to face the men approaching him gently, he shoved the box of the figurine to Helen and placed her behind him, making sure that there was nothing and nobody in between him and the security men who were approaching. Reynaldo really wished it didn't have to come to this because he was also a very skilled fighter. The security men noticing that he wasn't ready to follow them willingly and peacefully, became wary, and they closed the gap between them. One of them lunged forward quickly and folded his hand to form a fist. He threw a punch at Reynaldo's face, but the latter dodged it easily. He responded with a punch of his own and it landed successfully on the security man's face. The security man staggered back from the impact of the punch, the other security coming from behind him, placed his hand behind the first one back to prevent him from falling. "I said I am getting the figurine and I mean what I said, I am getting it today," Reynaldo with an angered tone. He
A cab stopped in front of the Wyatt's mansion and the person that stepped out was Reynaldo. He took a look at the cheap bag that he held, it contained the expensive figurine he just bought. If he had waited, he was sure they would have packaged it properly for him, but he didn't want to spend any second longer than he needed to. He had stormed out of the place and purchased a cheap bag outside. “What are you doing here?” Gyaki, Kimora's aunt questioned him on her way to pick up a package from a delivery man.He tilted his head a little to stare at her, “I brought a gift for grand…” he paused, remembering that she had sternly warned him earlier not to call her his grandmother, “Madame Wyatt” “Where is it?” She asked again, folding her arms on her chest. He raised the cheap bag and replied, “In here,” “If I may ask, what present did you buy for her?” She asked with a mocking tone, while she waited to laugh at the mention of whatever cheap stuff he bought. Reynaldo had answered a l
The beautiful colors of the light that flooded the room from the chandelier was aesthetic. The expensive fabrics of the velvet curtains draped at each window with elegance. It was a grand event, foods of all kinds displayed in serving dishes while finely clothed guests sat around and stood as well.It was Madame Wyatt's birthday anniversary and just like the number sixty, she sparkled in different diamond jewelry. Madame Wyatt had intentionally adorned herself in diamonds and pearls to mark her anniversary. "Mother you look so beautiful," Gyaki Madame Wyatt's daughter in law commented when she came to her side to present her gift. Gyaki was married to Lepona; the Eldest son of the Wyatt family.Thud!A loud bang was heard and the attention of everyone was turned to the direction which the sound came. Lo and behold, just where the accident had happened, Reynaldo stood transfixed on the scene. Hearing the crash, Madame Wyatt also turned her attention to where Reynaldo stood."Oh my g
‘Did he just say just fifty million dollars?’ Reynaldo asked inwardly. Reynaldo knew that his father was wealthy but fifty million dollars as pocket money and the man had used the word just, that was unbelievable for Reynaldo.Did his father really have so much money to throw about?Reynaldo was surprised at the amount that was just called but his facial expression remained blank and his body language did not betray his emotions.“Young master if the money is too small, your father is willing to sign everything in your name soon as possible, the fifty million is only for each month,” said the familiar man, Ammanidael Octavio, was the name of the man. Reynaldo then knew how rich his father was and how determined his father was to see him, he also knew that if he asked for double that amount, it would be as easy as cutting through butter with a hot knife for his father to provide it. Reynaldo didn’t give any response, he was still a little bit stunned by the amount of money that was
The noise caused by the loud voices of the nurses and the murmurs of both family members of patients and some hospital workers standing around got the attention of the head doctor of the hospital. A woman who seemed to be in her mid-fifties and was dressed in a white doctor's coat with a stethoscope around her neck approached the nurses. “What is the cause of this commotion?” she asked gently, looking around with a confused expression. It is because of this beggar standing in front of us, he came to plead that we help his mother with surgery and he is yet to pay his hospital bills, not to even talk about the surgery fee,” the nurse blurted in disgust, throwing an irritated look at Reynaldo. The doctor turned to Reynaldo, but before she could speak, one of the family members of a patient spoke up. “You should kick people like this out of your hospital” “Yeah, they should know that this is not a charity organization. People like this disgust me” another one pointed out. "Yes, if
