The Doctor And The Ceo - Chapter 17

A day before when grandpa got a call from Rachel, he felt relieved and decided to go to her immediately but Rachel stopped him and he didn’t want to upset her and wanted to agree to her every request so grandpa didn’t insist and decided to wait for her but with the call he got few hours back, he was tensed and more worried.

“Richard stop worrying, see you have already become so weak, Rachel is really going to get angry when she will come home tomorrow and find you in this state. Don’t have negative thoughts, you have her current number right, through which she is calling you. If you are feeling uneasy just call her once and talk to her.” Michael suggested.

“It is so late at night, what if she is sleeping. I don’t want to disturb her.”

“Relax, call her in the morning then” Anthony tried to pacify grandpa.

“Anthony I am really sorry that she ran away from home because of the alliance with your grandson, thanks for not telling your family about her running away and going along with my lie of she gone for a business work.” Richardson felt gratitude towards his friend who was not offended by Rachel’s behaviour and understood the situation.

“You dumbass, why are you being so formal with me? Want me to kick your ass?”

Michael laughed aloud and said, “I am glad the marriage alliance between your families is not happening or else I would have been jealous as I don’t have my own grandchildren and I would feel left out if you two become a family and leave me out.”

Anthony and Richardson laughed at Michael’s words and asked him to grow up as he too is one old man now.

With this conversation the atmosphere relaxed and grandpa Richardson felt better and went to sleep. Since, he was not in a great mood today, his two friends too decided to accompany him and stay at his home for the night and leave the next day only after Rachel is back home.

Hotel Room, the next day

Daniel opened his eyes as the sun rays fell into the room. He was feeling something heavy on his legs and stomach. Rachel’s one hand and leg were on his body, she clung on to him like a koala. He chuckled seeing her state and slowly removed her hand and legs from his body without distrubing her and he got up from the bed.

He got ready and enquired about his car at the reception. They handed over the car keys as it was delivered to the hotel.

Daniel ordered coffee and breakfast at the reception and headed towards the room. Rachel woke up and saw Daniel was not there, she searched for Daniel in the room and she panicked when she didn’t find him, just then the door was opened and Daniel entered the room. Rachel sighed in relief when she saw him.

He asked her to freshen up before the breakfast arrived. She went to freshen up and just then her grandpa called. Daniel told Rachel it was a call from her home so she rushed back to the room wrapping a towel over her body, Daniel got flustered seeing her long legs and sexy figure and decided to leave the room before he loses his self-control.

Unaware of her actions Rachel happily answered her grandpa’s phone. They conversed with each other and she assured her grandpa that she will reach home in a few hours. She dressed up and called Daniel who was awkwardly standing outside the room. She didn’t know why he was awkward and she called him in. The breakfast arrived and after a heartful breakfast, they both checked out the room and started their journey towards London.

Grandpa Richardson felt relieved after talking to Rachel and was happily waiting for her arrival, she assured him that she would arrive before lunch time. Grandpa ordered servants to prepare her favourite food for lunch.

Anthony and Michael sighed in relief seeing grandpa in good spirits, just then Anthony’s daughter-in-law called him up to tell him about a surprise for lunch and insisted he come home before lunch time or he would regret missing the surprise.

Michael and Richardson asked Anthony to leave after breakfast and go home to his family. Michael assured him he will stay here till Rachel’s arrival and seeing Richardson’s good mood, Anthony felt relieved and left after having breakfast.

…

By afternoon Daniel and Rachel reached Rachel’s house. As the car entered the premises of the house she felt happy and relieved. Grandpa was standing at the house entrance, Rachel got out of the car, she ran excitedly towards grandpa and hugged him.

Grandpa hugged her and tears flowed from grandpa’s eyes as well as Rachel’s eyes. Both were very emotional and happy. This was the longest time they stayed away from each other without even talking on the phone.

Rachel saw grandpa lost weight, looked thinner and he also seemed like he aged a few years in these three months. She felt guilty as she understood that it was because of her that her grandpa became weak and decided to never trouble her grandpa.

Grandpa went near the car and invited Daniel. Rachel informed grandpa in one of the calls that Daniel is the one who is safely bringing her home so he more or less knew him. Daniel hesitated first but as grandpa insisted, he went inside the house.

Rachel saw uncle Michael in the living room and happily hugged him.

“You really scared and worried your grandpa, please don’t trouble him again.” Michael patted her on the head and sweetly scolded her.

“Sorry grandpa, will never do something like this again.”

Grandpa Richardson wanted to ask Rachel more about these three months but Rachel interrupted him and said that she will tell details later on . Grandpa looked at Daniel and said with a very emotional voice “thanks doctor, you don’t have an idea of how much Rachel means to me, you have given me my life back by bringing my granddaughter safely to me, God bless you my child. Where are you from?”

Then Daniel said “I am from London”.

Michael said, “Nice, we will see more of you then child. Thanks for saving my precious grandchild.”

Grandpa Richardson too added, “Great, our lifesaver is from London. Thank You once again for taking care of my granddaugther. You please join us for lunch”

Daniel replied “my mother is waiting for me as it had been three months I had met her and she prepared lunch for me. So please excuse me, I promise I will come some other day.”

Grandpa Michael said “Richardson you should excuse him only on one condition, he has to come here for lunch on Sunday. We three have planned a lunch anyway, these young brats too can join us.”

Richardson liked the idea and Daniel agreed that he will come on sunday.

Daniel said he would take his leave as his family must be waiting for him. Grandpa Michael asked Rachel to drop him till the car. Daniel and Rachel then headed towards the exit.

Michael looked at Richardson and said, “Doesn’t that brat look familiar?”

“Hmm, he does.” grandpa nodded
