Chapter 113 Darius drove as fast as he could, paying little heed to the traffic rules as he drove. He couldn‘t care less about the traffic rules now, especially now that he had the injured old man with him.
After driving speedily for more than thirty minutes, Darius finally got to the hospital. He should have gotten to the hospital much later as the distance was quite far, but because of his high speed, he was able to get there earlier.
The moment he got to the hospital, he called the paramedics over, after which they put the injured old man on a stretcher.
Darius walked with them as they wheeled the injured old man into the hospital. It was then he took a closer look at the old man.
Even though there was a significant amount of blood on the old man, Darius could see his body clearly. The old man looked to be in his mid sixties, and had a very developed body. He seemed very fit with a muscular body for an old man. It made Darius wonder how the old man was unable to avoid being hit by his vehicle.
Some minutes later, a doctor appeared and took charge of the injured old man. He then sent Darius out of the room after booking a private room to treat him.
Darius was anxious about the condition of the old man, and pleaded with the doctor to be present as he was treated, but the doctor strictly refused. In the end, Darius could only sit down and wait till the treatment procedure was over.
While he was waiting for the doctor to exit the theatre, his phone rang. He checked the caller ID and saw that it was his grandfather who was calling. He answered the phone call and placed the phone to his ear.
“Hello.” Darius said.
“I heard what happened. Are you okay?” Darius grandfather asked.
Darius eyebrows twitched at that. There was truly nothing that could be hidden from his grandfather. The accident happened not less than an hour ago, yet his grandfather already knew about it. “I‘m fine.” Darius replied. “Good. What about the victim?” His grandfather asked. “He‘s receiving treatment right now.” Darius replied. “. You‘re at fault so make sure to compensate him properly.” His grandfather added and then disconnected the phone call without giving Darius a chance to
reply. Darius put his phone back into his pocket and sat down on the chaise longue and continued waiting for the doctor to be done with the treatment.
After forty five minutes of waiting, the doctor finally exited the theatre. Darius quickly got to his feet and walked over to the doctor.
“How is his condition?” Darius asked anxiously. “His condition has been stabilized now.” The doctor answered.
Darius exhaled an audible sigh of relief at the doctor‘s words. He had been incredibly worried about the old man all these while, and was relieved to know his condition had been stabilized.
The doctor looked strangely at Darius. He looked like he had something to say to Darius, but changed his mind at the last moment.
