The Doctor And The Ceo - Chapter 18
Daniel was driving and headed towards his house, he was deeply thinking ‘it has been difficult for me to say goodbye to Rachel, I have never had such feelings towards anyone. I have met many girls till today, but Rachel seems different from others, am I falling for her or I already did, I can’t stop myself from seeing my future with her. It feels like parting away from her is the hardest thing for me. I am not even sure what she feels about me. I need to figure out my feelings and sort it out or I’ll go crazy’.
He then decided to buy some chocolates and cakes for his family, his family loves desserts. He stopped near the famous bakery and purchased chocolates, a few sugar free cookies and sweets.
Later, Daniel’s car entered a big mansion. On entering, there was a golf court that came first and moving forward there was a big swimming pool on the other side and after a few minutes the mansion appeared. Daniel parked his car in the parking lot and rang the doorbell.
His brother opened the door, Daniel was very happy seeing his brother and went towards him to give him a big hug but his brother stepped back and said, “why are you here?”
Daniel was surprised with his brother’s reaction and asked “Aren’t you happy to see me? It has been three months, I have not been here, are you not missing me?”
His brother laughed as if he heard some joke and said, “missing you? Missing you my foot, you have spoiled my life, why would I miss the person who destroyed me.”
Daniel smiled and said, “you are my baby brother how can I spoil your life?”.
Before his brother could reply back their mother Catherine came to them.
“I was wondering why it is taking you so long to come, so you brothers were arguing here. Can’t you be mindful that your mom is waiting for you.”
Catherine then went to Daniel and hugged him, kissing him on his forehead she emotionally said, “you are looking so thin and tired, aren’t you eating properly?”
Daniel was about to reply but Catherine again interrupted him and said “you forgot your mom, you used to visit at least a month but this time it took so long” she was pretending to be angry with him.
Daniel said “mom, I was missing you too. As there was an emergency I couldn’t come. Sorry, you are the best mom in this world, how can I forget you and see what I brought for you”. He pampered her and handed the cakes and chocolates he brought.
Seeing mom and Daniel’s emotional reunion his brother got irritated, he taunted his mom saying that “Your Ideal perfect son came. Now you don’t need this useless son of yours.” and he eyed the chocolates and cakes his brother brought, he wanted them but was egoistic to say so.
Mom and Daniel smiled and went towards him. Mom hugged her younger son and said that “you are my baby too, you two are like my two eyes, don’t call yourself useless.”
Daniel patted his brother on the head, “why is my baby brother irritated, why are you angry with me?”
“Jimmy! Catherine ! Where are you all?” Anthony Morris shouted and came from his bedroom to the living room.
He was shocked seeing Daniel, and in the next moment he had a bright smile on his face as he was very happy. Daniel approached grandpa and hugged him.
Catherine said “How do you like this surprise, father? This is why I insisted you come home and called you from your friends house”.
Grandpa smiled and said, “good you called me and were you not supposed to come next week, how come you came a week early. Is everything fine?” he asked Daniel.
Daniel replied “nothing to worry grandpa. I completed my rural work a day before. Previously I thought that to come one week later as I have to submit some paperwork. But due to some emergency I preponed my plan and decided to do the paperwork from here. I have informed mom and dad in advance and decided to surprise you.”
Grandpa happily said, “I have missed you my dear. I can’t even play chess with this fool. I have been waiting for you so you have to play with me. I am eagerly waiting for you, this time I will win.”
Jimmy interrupted again and was very annoyed, he said, “Everyone likes Daniel, nobody loves me, your perfect grandson came home and you all ignore me. Since he is so perfect, why are you all forcing me to take over your business, let him handle the business too, I will go to my theater and fulfill my dreams”.
Grandpa, mom and Daniel laughed at Jimmy.
Grandpa said “go to the theater where nobody takes you seriously.” Laughing at him and teasing him he continued, “he wants to become a hero and no one even offers him a side character.”
Jimmy got annoyed, “Theater is not easy, you have to give me a chance. We should have patience, only then will I be a successful actor.”
Grandpa said “five years is more than enough to become a hero. You would have been successful by now if it was meant to be. Accept your failure and focus on our business. Daniel proved himself and got into one of the world’s best medical schools, if you would have been successful in your field, I would have let you off”.
Daniel looked towards his mother and raised his eyebrow asking what’s the matter.
She signalled with her eyes to wait and watch.
Daniel now got a vague idea why Jimmy was taunting him since he entered the house, something happened in these three months and decided to talk to him in private and console him. Just then grandpa’s furious voice startled him.
