Vengeful Hero - Chapter 14 50 Years Of Salary?
Getting thrashed by his father George went to look for Martha but as if fate was playing a game with him whenever he asked any of the nurses or doctors about her they would point him towards a certain destination and when he reach there will be a new destination waiting for him.
After circling the hospital countless times finally, he found her in her office treating the patients.
Just as he was about to enter her chambers he was stopped by the nurse in charge.
“Sir, the doctor is in consultation if you are here for a consultation please join the queue and if not then please wait for the doctor to end her shift” the nurse recited what she was told by Martha word by word.
“Do you know how long I have been searching for her? I don’t have time for this” pissed by the events for the past hour George grumbled, he was not able to even see his son after surgery because of this fiasco.
“Sir,…” the nurse tried to explain but was interrupted.
“Claire, what’s going on? Who is daring enough to cause trouble in my consultation?” an icy cold voice came from inside.
“Maam, he is the patient whom doctor James treated” replied the nurse Claire. Even she was a bit afraid of Martha right now she has never seen the doctor talking to anyone like that. Even with the nurses, she was always polite and caring.
“So what is he doing here? Doesn’t he know this is the cardiac department?”
“Well,…” the nurse was on the verge of a mental breakdown right now she can only hope that one of the parties back down.
Listening to the unyielding tone of the doctor George knew that he can’t just forcefully enter her chambers. Going to the reception he took a number and waited for his turn. If it was known among his peers that he stood in line to get meet someone that too a doctor he will turn into a laughing stock but after listening to his father’s grave expression on the phone he patiently waited.
After about half an hour which was like a century for George, his turn came as soon he entered the room he was about to say something but was stopped by Martha.
Martha stood up, drew the curtain and sat beside Alex.
for visiting.
“Alex wake up” there was no previous coldness in her voice just tenderness showing love for his son.
“Hmmm… mom 5 minutes more” Alex replied in a lazy tone.
“Wake up sleepy head it’s not morning anymore” Martha chuckled looking at the cute antics of his son, the polite and cute son she has known was back she felt happy.
“Huh…” listening to her mother Alex woke up reluctantly but seeing himself sleeping in his mother’s office he was dumb folded and asked his mother “Mom what am I doing in the hospital?”.
“You don’t remember you came to meet me and slept in my office,” asked his mother teasingly on the surface but was worried that Alex might have lost some parts of memories and it might turn out to be severe.
“Oh no!! mom what time is it?” suddenly remembering everything Alex was reminded of the party.
“It’s 3’o clock why?” seeing that her son was suddenly panicking she asked curiously.
“Mom I am getting late I have an office party in the evening. I will be going now, see you at home and don’t wait for me for dinner” saying that he started tidying himself.
“At least tell me the reason you came to see me.” while chuckling while looking at Alex who was tidying himself in a very funny manner. First, he was combing his hairs with his hands then he wore one of his shoes then he tidied his clothes and then wore the other shoe, he was clumsy to the very end.
“We will talk about it home bye mom” Alex dashed out after kissing his mom’s cheeks and Martha was left laughing seeing his son.
After Alex left Martha shifted her focus on George and the smiling face turned to a nonchalant one.
“Now how can I be of assistance to you sir of the esteem Cornell family,” Martha asked in a very calm tone devoid of any respect to the latter.
“Doctor I was blind to not know Mt. Tai please be generous and forgive this foolish one” seeing that the lady was still angry at him George went on his knees and started to flatter her.
“Who am I to forgive you? I am just some lowly doctor in front of the Cornell family” Martha replied sarcastically.
“Please madam I am willing to compensate for the disturbance I have caused you. Initially, I came to thank your son to save my son’s life I never came with any ill-feeling at all but one thing led to the other and… ” George tried to explain the situation to Martha but was cut short by her.
“So you are saying it was my son’s fault?” Martha asked raising her eyebrows immediately intimidating George.
“No! No! how can that be it was my fault from the beginning” saying so George took out a cheque of 1 million dollars and gave it to Martha. His father was very adamant in solving this issue by any means, seeing that the someone was able to shake his father in fear he didn’t think that 1 million was a very big amount, he was even willing to pay a higher amount.
“You know I was not at all angry with you and even was willing to settle this matter with you peacefully but you dare to call my son a bastard you might be tired of living” while taking the cheque from his hands Martha explained, well explained less and threatened more.
“Yes Yes it was all my fault and I am willing to beg young master for forgiveness” seeing that the doctor has taken the cheque and was slowly returning to her calm nature George sighed in relief.
“Don’t bring my son into this and keep yourself away from him” suddenly Martha erupted once again. They have been trying to keep Alex away from any kind of bad influence and if someone like this guy makes friend with their innocent Alex what will happen, no it was unimaginable.
“Yes! Yes as you say” seeing the sudden outburst of this lady George had a breakdown. The moods of this lady swing like a table fan changing every second.
“You can go now I won’t pursue this matter any more” happy to see the obedient nature of this guy Martha thought of cutting him some slack.
These words were like a melody to his ears as soon he heard them George stood up and almost ran out of the office.
“Wait, take this money and deposit it into this account” just as George was about to exit the chamber she stopped him and after writing an account number on a paper gave it to George.
Nodding his head in acknowledgement George took the paper and without turning back ran out of the chamber.
Here Alex took a taxi and reached his home after changing into comfortable clothes he started preparing for dinner for his parents. By around 5’o clock Alex was done preparing dinner and after arranging it on the dining table he left a note for his parents.
In his bedroom, Alex was going through all the clothes he had and soon chose a black full sleeves T-shirt and blue jeans. Alex was not the type to waste time on the way he dressed, it was evident from the fact that despite being fairly above average in terms of looks he felt inferior to James whom he met in Jessica’s office.
While thinking about James soon his thoughts jumped to the moment he was kissed by Jessica, the soft touch of those rosy lips and that lingering scent from her body it made him blush even while thinking about it.
Suddenly his phone rang bringing him out of his fantasy. Looking at the message he just received his eyes almost popped out from the sockets, there were 1 million dollars just deposited into his account. Was there some sort of mistake? Did the company give him his pay in advance? but his annual salary was just 20000 dollars. Did they just fu**ing gave him 50 years of advance pay?
What the hell is going on…
