Read The Consortium’s Heir Chapter 145 – Of course, Darius had no idea that
the mysterious person was the one who rescued Michael from the police and
was now plotting against him with Michael’s aid. He was still in the hospital, but
was rapidly recovering due to the effects of the self healing trait the golden
liquid gave him.
He had been in Serene Hospital for two days now, and according to the doctor,
he would be discharged from the hospital in the next two days; and he was
recommended to do some light exercises before his discharge. As such, Darius
decided to walk around the hospital to heed the doctor’s instruction.
The atmosphere in the hospital was serene and tranquil, with the sounds of
machines beeping echoing in the hallway.
Darius walked unhurriedly, and a melancholic feeling slowly came over him as
he walked. He could see the different people suffering from various illnesses
restrained to their hospital rooms as he walked
He could hear them speak in sad voices to their loved ones. He was well aware
that some of them were having what would be their last conversations as the
minutes went by.
It was during such moments that Darius heard a low s*b from the other side of
the hallway. He ignored it and turned the other way, thinking it was a person
whose relative was on his deathbed and therefore was mourning his loss; after
all there were no shortage of such people in the hospital.
He had barely taken three steps forward—————————–r—-..—-when he
heard a harsh tone right behind him, and a frown crept unto his face.
“I have paid the money for my grandmother’s treatment. Why won’t you give her
a room?!” a person sobbed angrily.
“Oh shut up! If I say your grandmother can’t have a room then she can’t have a
room. Do you know who Mr. Joseph is?” another person Darius guessed to be
the doctor replied mockingly.
“This is very unfair! My grandmother is suffering from Pneumonia, and if she
doesn’t get a room soon her illness will worsen!” The person pleaded in a weak
voice with tears running down his eyes.
“Young man, I don’t care if your grandmother has pneumonia or whatever
illness. This room has been reserved for
Mr. Joseph, and no one can take it away from him. Do you understand?” the
doctor retorted in a scathing voice.
Darius who heard the whole conversation felt rage bubble up in his chest at the
doctor’s statements. It seemed that the staff in Serene Hospital had a habit of
blatantly looking down on people.
He then turned back and started walking towards the direction the doctor was
and soon came into their line of sight.
There was a young man who looked to be a little above twenty, probably twenty
two years of age, with a dejected expression on his face, and a thin middle aged
man in a white lab coat with a mocking expression on his face.
As Darius wasn’t walking silently, his footsteps could be heard clearly by the two
people. The two of them ceased their conversation and turned to Darius with
inquisitiveness on their faces.
“What is going on here? Why wouldn’t you give his grandmother a room?”.
Darius asked angrily the moment he was within hearing range of the doctor.
“And who do you think you are to question my decisions?” The doctor retorted
angrily.
From what he could see, Darius was barely above twenty. How could he allow
someone of that age to question his decision?
“You don’t need to know who I am; what you are doing is wrong by all means.
