Rise of Robert,the youngest student billionaire.

CHAPTER 5. Rise of Robert Edward.

RISE OF ROBERT EDWARD.

When Robert opened his eyes, he couldn't understand what was happening.

The hours have slipped by, and it wasn't just morning, but now evening. He had been unconscious for almost twenty-four hours.

He was met with a well-furnished ward filled with medical equipment; it was the best one in the state.

The whole place was lit up with LED lights, and he was lying on a bed shirtless. 

He glanced down at his body only to see different medical equipment plugged into it.

Where am I? Shouldn't I have been dead by now in my dorm?” He had a puzzled expression as his mind raced, attempting to understand how he got into the hospital.

His eyes wandered around as his thoughts raced. 

What could have happened? 

Did he die and be sent back to life? 

Or is it even a rebirth? 

His brows furrowed as he scratched his head, trying to make sense of the jumbled thoughts in his mind so he could crack the code of where he was.

But the door suddenly creaked open, snapping him out of his sea of thoughts and dragging his attention away.

A man clad in a white medical gown and a stethoscope around his neck walked in. From his attire, Robert could easily decipher he was a doctor!

“Doctor, please, where am I? Why am I tied down here with different things plugged into my body?” He tried to stand up but groaned back in pain.

“Thank God you're awake! You don't have to worry; just relax. I need to give you your last dose of drugs,” the doctor said in a calm tone.

“Drugs? How? Which drugs?” Robert's confusion increased with each question he asked.

“You have to let me go; I'm a student, and I need to go to my part-time job today!” 

The doctor smiled. ”Don't worry, you'll be just fine after this last one, and I'll disengage that equipment on your body.” 

“Why was it out in the first place?” Robert retorted; he couldn't help but ask.

The door opened again, and a man clad in a blue suit walked in with a wide grin across his face.

When Robert saw him, he couldn't understand why the man was so happy, but he just ignored him.

The only thought in his mind was how he was going to pay for his hospital bills. 

Did the school bring me here? Why didn't they take me to the infirmary? How will I pay for all of these? The doctor just keeps disconnecting from my body.

“Doctor, Are you done with him?” The man in the blue Louis Vuitton suit from last night asked.

“Yes!” The doctor turned to him. ”I just have to give him his prescribed medications so he doesn't feel pain for the next few days.” 

“Okay, that's good. He needs to meet Madam President now.” 

Robert's brows shot up as his mind raced with thoughts. why?

Who is Madam President? 

Is she president? 

That can't be, I know that our current president is a male, so who could she be, and does she want to see me? 

The man waited till the doctor was done disconnecting the machines and drips in Robert's body before turning to face Robert.

"Please, young master, follow me!” The man demanded.

Robert's brows knitted in confusion as he inquired. ”Why should I follow you, huh?” 

Before the man could answer, the doctor interjected. ”He brought you in, sir, so you have to leave with him.” 

Robert gulped, swallowing down nothing. He was just curious as to why this man was the one who brought him into the hospital. He quietly followed him outside, not minding that he was shirtless.

Meanwhile, there was a woman clad in a Burberry customized piece from head to toe, from her shoes to her head scarf, and even her sunglasses were of the best type. 

In the exotic, lavish sitting room, she sat there with a puzzled expression as she kept staring at her Patek Philippe wristwatch. 

One would think she was admiring the watch so closely, but the truth is, she was lost in a deep sea of thoughts.

The door creaked open, and she raised her head to the man, and Robert followed him closely t slowly like she was weary of getting kidnapped or such.

When her eyes met him, she couldn't help but smile. Gracefully, she muttered. ”My boy!”

She hadn't seen him for over a decade now, despite all of her efforts.

“Where have you been?” A hot torrent of tears rolled down her cheeks as she asked Robert, who stood inches away from her.

Robert stood there dumbfoundedly. 

He didn't understand what was going on; he was still carried away by the luxury he had just walked into.

There were delicate, exquisite lights and white walls adorned with live artefacts; he couldn't believe his eyes. He gulped and shook his head in disbelief. “Is this place even real?” 

He looked forward to following the man who had brought him in, but his eyes met those of a woman sitting comfortably on the main couch. 

Her eyes were already wet with tears, and that was why he couldn't understand why she was crying upon seeing him.

The doctor walked in and greeted the woman. 

“Madam President, He is now okay but needs to take his daily dosage of medications I prescribed; I'll leave it with your butler,” he explained with a soft smile.

“Thank you, Doctor!” The woman couldn't help but smile as she wiped away her tears with her handkerchief.

“Always a pleasure, Madam Aurora!” He grinned before walking away to allow the mother and son to have their private moment.

The moment Robert heard the doctor call her Madam President, his eyes fixed on her for a moment before he quickened his steps.

“Good afternoon, ma.” He tried as much as possible to be polite, but his patience was running thin after seeing the time on the wall clock.

Three o'clock pm! 

It was time for his part-time job.

Madam Aurora couldn't hold back her tears as she heard her son talk. It was such a motherly moment; she had been waiting for it all of her life. She sniffed her nose, trying to stop the tears flowing from her eyes, but it only continued. Tears of joy indeed. 

She giggled slightly before saying. ”How is your health?” 

“Maa, you're having an eye discharge. Don't you feel okay?” He asked, pointing his fingers at the tears, which prompted most of Madam Aurora's staff to burst out laughing.

Robert didn't understand what was happening. His eyes wandered around the place as his heart raced with different thoughts.

What was funny?” He thought to himself.

“Did you bring me here?” He couldn't help but ask. His eyes kept checking and rechecking the wall clock, aware of each passing second.

“I need to go back to my dorm and go to work before I get sacked!” His voice rose.

Madame Aurora couldn't help but smile. 

It was amusing to her, but it was pissing Robert off.

“I brought you back home, son.” Madam Aurora's voice was strained with emotions.

“Welcome back home, son.” She added, opening her arms for a hug, but Robert just stood there, stunned by her act.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he muttered, “Is she a sycophant?” 

“What do you mean by I'm your son?” His voice was laced with uncertainty. 

The whole place went dead silent; it was like a plot twist in movies where the whole of the background music died off and just the voices were heard. 

Robert felt like he was in a movie now; he just stood there with a puzzled expression. 

He knitted his brows in confusion. ”What is she trying to say?” He turned to the man who brought him in.

The man with a rugged build turned to him, and his demeanour was calm.

“Young master, you're Madam Aurora's lost child at birth. You got lost just two months after you were born. She had been looking for you all through two decades, but it was impossible.” 

The explanation was boring him out, and it even got worse as he kept looking at the wall clock and it kept ticking. His muscles began to tense up, and he clenched his fists, trying to do away with the pent-up tension.

He couldn't help but interject. ”So how did she find him this time?” 

The man's lips curled into a knowing smirk like he knew Robert would ask the question.

“Young Master, your necklace!” He replied, and shock waves flowed past Robert's body. He slowly held on to the pendant he had on his neck. 

His eyes were almost bulging out together with his bubbling Adam's apple, as he thought. ”How is that even possible? They must be kidding themselves!” 

“Young master, Madam Aurora, made us track your necklace since she had half of the pendant.” Robert swiftly raised his gaze to the woman's neck, and it was indeed true. 

An involuntary gasp left his lips as he watched the woman stand up with teary eyes. 

He couldn't remember anything about his mother since he grew up in the orphanage, but by merely looking at her, the resemblance was as clear as daylight! 

He stumbled backwards as he muttered. “Mum” 

Madam Aurora didn't waste any time in pulling him into a tight embrace as he left her tears to roll down freely. She couldn't help but smile uncontrollably, radiating joy from within.

Her heart fluttered in her chest happily as she whispered into his ears. 

“Welcome home, baby. No more part-time jobs, no more bullies. You'll become my heir to the Glidson Empire!”
