The Doctor And The Ceo - Chapter 19
Grandpa turned towards Daniel and said pointing towards Jimmy that “Do you know Daniel, I have sent him to a business meeting. He went there and made fun of himself, he dressed up like a weirdo and everyone made fun of him. He thought that I would find another alternative if he dresses up like a joker. I am his grandpa and know his tricks. I still forcefully sent him for other meetings and at every meeting he is doing something or the other weird things to piss me off.”
Jimmy replied, “you told me to join our family business, which I don’t want to take over as my interests are in some other profession. Then I don’t have other options but to make weird appearances to make you back out of your plan to pull me into this business world, what is my fault in it. I don’t feel any regret for my actions”.
Grandpa shouted, “Why would you regret? We are the ones who feel ashamed of your behaviour”.
Daniel was about to say something but just then Daniel’s dad Harry entered the house, he had a cheerful expression on his face when he saw Daniel and asked him about his well being. Seeing the atmosphere he got an idea of what happened and he ignored it, he asked Catherine to serve lunch. He ignored his father and his other son as these arguments were common in this house.
Seeing Daniel concerned, Harry said, “These arguments between Jimmy and Grandpa are not new and everyone in the house got used to them since he joined the business.” Further he added, “boys let us have lunch together and cheer up, I came from office to have this lunch with all of you and dad be calm Daniel has come, he will talk to Jimmy don’t worry”.
They went to the dining area.
They were eating food, dad asked Daniel about his work. Daniel told him he completed his rural work and moved to London permanently.
Dad asked about his belongings in the Peebles house, how he is shifting and further plans regarding his practice.
Daniel replied that “I will send servants to Peebles and they will move everything here. Secondly I am planning to set up my own hospital in the next five years. This plan is still in working, for the time being I’ll work in the London hospital from next week, once I submit all the paperwork, I’ll be relieved from Peebles.”
Grandpa said “there is a building which we invested in a few years back, it is going to be completed within a month, you can set up your hospital there why wait for five years”.
Daniel said “grandpa I don’t want to take favour from our family. I want to set it up by myself”.
Harry asked “do you have any proper plan?”
Daniel said “I am planning to set up my hospital along with my few friends, experts in different fields. so patients can come to one place where they get all amenities in one place”.
Grandpa said “then our building will be perfect for your hospital”. Daniel said ” I want to build with my money”.
Grandpa replied “that will take more time. So, I can be your investor and make me a partner. so that you can save time and you can fulfill your wish. Think a while and think, be practical”.
Daniel said, “I will think grandpa” and he regretted discussing his future plans with his family.
Suddenly Jimmy said in a sad voice “see you favour Daniel and always support him in what he does. He is your favorite child after all, you guys don’t care about me at all, he wants to become a doctor. You have allowed him to be a doctor, but what about me?”
Dad and mom were consoling him with their sweet words saying that “we love you very much and do care for you, we support you too. So don’t worry, you are our baby”. Mom came towards him kissing on his forehead.
Grandpa pointed towards his daughter-In-Law and said “because of your pampering he had never grown up”. Grandpa turned towards Jimmy and said “Look at Daniel, he worked hard and got admission in Cambridge university with a scholarship so how can we deny that? Rather It was a pride of us”.
Suddenly Jimmy felt very low, kept his sad face, and bowed his head and continued eating.
Daniel felt guilty for Jimmy, he gave up on managing the business and his brother is facing the repercussions for his actions, he patted Jimmy on the back and said, “I will support you my dear lovely brother, let’s find a solution, don’t worry brother is always with you.’ He then gave him his favorite chocolates.
Jimmy’s mood became normal as he got love and support from his brother. As Jim wanted to talk privately to his brother he said “Bro let us go for a walk , there are many things I want to share” after lunch they both went towards the lawn for a walk.
Their mother watched them go away and seeing them bonding she felt relieved as a few minutes back they were having a tussle.
Daniel’s parents and grandpa were sitting on the sofa having pudding. Catherine started a conversation with grandpa.
Catherine: How is uncle james? Has uncle Michael been there at uncle James house or went away? Have you slept properly or not? You don’t get sleep at new places. Had Rachel reached from a business trip?
She asked multiple questions at once
Anthony: Chill Catherine, you asked me so many questions at once, I am wondering which to answer first. Let me answer all, haha, Richardson is fine. I slept well. Everything is fine. Michael called me and said that Rachel reached on time and they had lunch together. After seeing Rachel obviously my friend is doing much better. Michael was with them for lunch and just left as he wanted to give some privacy to him and Rachel.
Catherine: As Daniel returned now shall we fix a meeting between the two families? As we had to cancel it the last time because Rachel went on a sudden business trip. We should get them married as soon as possible
she asked in an excited tone.
