2025-03-01 14:55:05Just fire him!” Marcus cut her off, his tone dismissive and cold.
The doctor quivered with fear. He battled within himself, his heart shaking with thoughts, whether to fall to his knees and apologize to a poor Marcus who he just found out to be his boss or to keep mocking him like he was doing earlier. Ava was more shaken! Seeing the stunning and fearful look on their faces, a satisfactory smile tugged at Marcus lips. “I said fire him!” He repeated apathetically, dipping his hands on his pocket and staring at Ava to carry out the instructions. “Or Are you also going to disregard your boss' command?” Marcus chuckled inwardly, flattered by his own utterance. The confidence and power that his utterances exude now is astonishing. He's no longer the poor delivery guy who licks boots just to make a meager amount, he's now extraordinary. Ava's lips quivered to follow Marcus's command. Seeing that, the doctor almost collapsed in fear. His family depended on him. Oh no! His 8 years of struggles, sweats and effort was about to go down the drain in a blink. Thud! His knee hit the hard marble floor, the pain excruciating but he never cared. The pain of losing his job would be far overwhelming than the one he felt in his knee. He quivered on the floor, his head raised, staring at Marcus like a god. His hands clasped together apologetically and tears spilled out of his eye. “Please boss..forgive me…please..I never knew you..” “You never knew what exactly?” Marcus cut him off, scoffing, unmoved by his shift in emotions. “You were careless with your words because you thought I was a nobody! Is this how you treat the less privileged that come here to get better health?” Marcus glared at him, his face contorted in frown, anger burning in his gaze. “Now you're begging. Begging for what exactly?! Just fire him!” Marcus concluded, his tone dismissive. He began to walk away. Tears streamed down endlessly from the doctor's eye. He sobbed quietly, wallowing in regret. He suddenly bursted into a loud Heartbroken cry, refusing to mature as the reality of the situation dawned on him when he saw Marcus turned on his way, saying. “And replace him with someone that prioritizes the health of patients. And secondly, change my sister's ward to a fully equipped one and get him a good doctor!” He walked out. Ava swung into action immediately leaving the doctor who was still sobbing on the floor. Lilly was rolled into a new ward, fully equipped with modern equipment that'll improve her health. A new doctor also replaced the old one. Marcus took a stroll around the hospital. He was heartbroken to see the majority of the patients had not been receiving proper treatment. Why is twinkles the best hospital when they couldn't offer sophisticated medical care for their dying patient. Marcus stopped before the window of a ward to see a young pregnant lady groaning on bed with a woman who Marcus presumed to be her mother restless beside her, trying to calm her. Marcus stood closer to the transparent window, her brow creased in confusion, wondering what was happening to her. Shortly did he notice the presence of a doctor beside him. “What is wrong with that lady?” Marcus asked with wordiness in his tone, refusing to deviate his gaze away from the lady who seemed to be in an unbearable pain. “Oh, that's Wendy and her mother. She has been in labour for the past 5 hrs. Her baby is in fetal distress and only a caeserin section can help he...” “Fetal distress? What does that mean?” Marcus looked at the doctor for an answer. Doctor Charles cleared his throat and continued, saying. “It means her baby is not getting enough oxygen where and only with CS she can deliver successfully.” “And is the baby receiving the oxygen in her condition?” Marcus stared at the doctor. The doctor swallowed hard, wondering if he should actually give an answer to his question because the answer was clear and vivid. “Sir…they couldn't afford to pay for the surg..” Marcus face rumpled and a burning anger flashed in his eye. “Are you all crazy!!!” He shrieked, his voice startling the doctor abruptly and making him shiver. People along the passage stared at them. “Because she couldn't afford the bills and you think the best way is to subject her and her innocent baby to a suffocating pain!! How wicked are you all!! Who the heck is the head doctor here!!! All of you are quack and heartless!!” The doctor couldn't respond; rather, he quivered to Marcus's angry voice which had made some people gathered around. “What a waste!! Now go prepare a special place for the CS, now!! I'll give you just 2 mins!!” He stormed into the ward and met the pregnant women. He tried to smile and calm his anger. People clustered around the transparent window, watching what he was up to even doctor Charles. Marcus sat beside her on the bed and held her gently. “It’ll be fine Wendy.” Wendy, who was in great pain, turned on the bed to see Marcus beside her. Her eyes were sore with tears which were still spilling from her eye. She looks tired and frustrated. “It won't be fine sir..it..won't..” Her trembling voice trailed, more tears poured from her eyes. “I can't cope anymore…” Marcus tightened his hand on hers and gave her a reassuring smile. There was an emotional atmosphere in the ward and Marcus was only trying to be strong, to prevent himself from shedding tears too “No Wendy.. no..no…you’ll be fine. Help is coming. You'll be fine.” He assured her with a shaky voice. Meanwhile, some of the people watching from outside, through the window, they recorded with their devices. Marcus looked up at the woman who he earlier presumed to be her mother. “I will sort the bills and make sure she gets good treatment. I’ll make sure she gets a better life henceforth.” Marcus assured, his voice calm and kind. The woman was clearly stunned. Her eyes widened with a thankful expression on her face. She was driving to tears which began to pour from her eye. She wasn't expecting such huge help from a stranger. She didn't know how to appreciate Marcus anymore, her vocal cord shut, leaving her lips quivering. Sharply, she wanted to fall to her knee but Marcus held her before she could. “No mum.. please don't do that..”

Unscathed, Marcus returned to the hospital. He once again stood before the window of the emergency ward to see Lilly resting on the bed, her eyes shut in unconsciousness. Seeing her in such a deteriorating state, Marcus' heart bled painfully. Her health condition seemed not to change a bit.“You’re here Mr Marcus.” The voice of the doctor in charge of Lilly's treatment came from behind.Marcus turned to see him staring at him, his expression was pitiful and helpless. “I’m..I’m so sorry to announce that the free treatment charge for your sister has been withdrawn.
