Just as he concluded his phone call with Erin, he heard a soft knock outside his room.Darius furrowed his eyebrows at the knock, but said calmly.“Come in.”The door opened and a familiar pretty young lady walked in. This young lady was of course Vera.“Hello Darius.” Vera greeted softly, her eyes peeking towards the ground.“Hello Vera. How may I help you?” Darius asked; confusion lacing his tone.Vera pushed forward a basket filled with fruits towards Darius before saying in a shy tone.“I didn’t know that you were admitted to the hospital. I thought that you were here to visit someone who was already sick. I’ve brought these fruits for you to aid your recovery and make you recover quickly.” Vera said shyly.Darius had a small smile on his face after hearing Vera’s words. He stretched his hands and took a fruit from the basket before eating it in her presence.“Thank you.” Darius said as he ate the fruit; and the fact that she thought about him in such a way and even went ahead to
Darius, Director Yul and Vera all turned their direction to the man as he walked inside Darius hospital room.Darius took a closer look at the man who walked into the room. He looked to be in his late thirties, with full black hair and a tall physically fit body, with a white lab coat on. He however had dark circles beneath his eyes, so one could tell that he was either stressed or not getting enough sleep.Darius was surprised at the doctor’s appearance, but took a passive stance as the man would surely have a reason for coming inside his hospital room.Sure enough, it only took a few seconds for the doctor to state the reasons for his appearance.“Hello Mr. Reid. I’m sorry to barge in like this, but I heard all the details from outside the hospital room.” The man said.“My name is Dr. Hills, and I’ve been working as a doctor here for the last ten years.” The man now identified as Dr. Hills said.“Is there a reason for your appearance?” Darius who could not stand someone beating arou
After Director Yul was taken away by the security personnel, Darius made his way back to his hospital room, not sparing the doctors and nurses any glance at all.Now that he was the new owner of the hospital, some of them must naturally have different ideas on how to get close to him; but since he was not planning on actively managing the hospital, he wanted to prevent such situations by all means.Vera and Dr. Hills followed Darius closely as he made his way to his hospital room. Vera was completely smitten by Darius after the whole turn of events, and now saw him as akin to a god. She knew that he was rich after he spent $270,000 to pay her medical bills, but the events today showed her that Darius was not your average rich person.Meanwhile, Dr. Hills was head over hills with joy after Director Yul was kicked out of the hospital. He had so much longed for a day like that to happen, and he was extremely glad that what he wanted finally came to pass.The moment Darius got to his hosp
The next turns of events were straightforward for Darius. After appointing Mr. Lewis as the new Director of Serene Hospital, the details he requested from Erin were sent to his phone. This included the details about every doctor or nurse who had involved in questionable activities that were overlooked by the previous owners.As a result of this, several long term doctors and nurses were laid off without any hesitation despite their pleas and tears. They had expected the worst from Darius the moment they heard the owners of the hospital had changed, but they were still shocked at how quickly he executed his orders.It had only been two hours since Darius became the new owner of the hospital, yet several doctors and nurses had been laid off!The news of Mr. Lewis’ appointment as the new Director of Serene Hospital was received by the staff with mixed feelings. Some were happy, some were sad, while some were mainly indifferent. Nonetheless, no matter what they felt, they knew better than
There was no other fiasco with the doctors or staff in Serene Hospital, and the next day just like the doctor said, Darius was discharged from the hospital.The fast rate at which he was discharged was quite shocking to the medical personnel attending to Darius. The reason was because a critical wound like the one Darius incurred should have one bedridden for more than a month even after a successful surgery, yet Darius was discharged in less than a week.It was completely unheard of.Of course, this was due to the self healing trait of the golden liquid, but as the medical personnel had no idea of the golden liquid in Darius’ body system, their shock at his fast healing rate was understandable.Another peculiar thing was that the surgery Darius had left no scar on his chest! It was as smooth as an egg, and without the medical records, it would be impossible to tell that a surgery was performed on Darius.Darius had just finished changing from his hospital gown to his casual wear when
The dinner invitation was to be held at IUV Xenon Hotels in two days time, so there was no rush for the both of them to attend it.Darius had to admit that Maxwell Finn had a shrewd look to things. The reason was that Darius had just been discharged from the hospital, so it would be completely counterproductive to invite him to on the day of his discharge.His decision to invite them two days later was a thoughtful one, and even though Darius was heavily biased against the Finn Conglomerate, this at least scored them some brownie points in preparation for the upcoming dinner.The two days passed quickly without any major events happening, and it was now the night for the dinner.Darius who was now in tip top shape put in more effort in his dressing than usual. Usually on occasions like these, he would dress casually, but this time he wanted to strike an impression on Maxwell Finn, and come out as overbearing.No matter what trump card Maxwell Finn had that he thought he could use to e
Darius had a stoic expression on his face as he stared at the man seated beside the table filled with delicacies, and although he couldn’t look at his grandfather’s expression now, he could guess that he had the same stoic expression.Maxwell Finn was relatively handsome, and although he was old now, Darius could tell that he was a playboy in his younger days, and it wasn’t hard to tell where Michael Finn got his impressive looks from.Yet, while there were some similarities between the father and son, there were surely some differences between them.For one, Maxwell did not have the brutal and cunning impression his son had, and he looked somewhat gentle; but that made Darius a bit wary. After all, he knew one of the most basic rules in a meeting like this was never to judge a book by its cover.Although Maxwell Finn might look harmless right now, he could be more cunning and brutal than his son. They had the same blood after all.Maxwell Finn stood up as a sign of respect and welcom
Darius and his grandfather both had shocked expressions on their faces when they heard Maxwell’s words. They understood the gravity of his words which was they were so shocked. According to what Darius knew from his research, the Finn conglomerate had groomed Michael Finn from when he was a kid to be the heir to their conglomerate. Disowning Michael now and kicking him out of the Finn family meant that they wanted nothing to do with him anymore, and that their years of grooming and training him had gone down the drain. You could see why both Darius and his grandfather were shocked at the situation. It was a brutal and heartless decision. Darius turned back to look at Maxwell Finn after his statement. He now re-evaluated Maxwell Finn’s ruthlessness as this decision showed that Maxwell Finn was even more ruthless than his son. Behind the humble and friendly face was a man who would do whatever was necessary to protect the interests of the Finn Conglomerate, and even his own blood wa
