Chapter 3

Damien walked to the lady at the front desk. "I'm here to make payments; I have the money now!" "what!! Are you still here? Are you here to plead for more time? You shameless scumbag!" Damien remembers the voice; it was the doctor who had been abusing him. He quickly turned to face him. "No. I'm here to— "oh! You're here to plead with us to treat your mother for free! You are more shameless than I thought; you come every day to plead for more time; now you want to ask for free treatment; do you think we do charity work here?" "No!, I—" "No what!" He looks at Damien, disgusted. "I have said it all this time; you're only after your mother's life insurance!. What a useless son you are. We kicked your mom from the care unit; she's currently in the floor unit; maybe she is already dead; I know you don't care anyway. You're probably happy now!" Everybody in the hospital was looking at Damien; some of them whispered among themselves. "He's such a useless son." "What kind of son is this?" "He and his mother should be kicked out this minute. I hate seeing poor people." Damien didn't care about their words; he couldn't believe what the doctor said, but they said she would be moved tomorrow. What happened to that plan? He quickly ran to the floor unit, his heart pounding along the way. "What if she is..." With a relief look on his face, he knew she was still alive. He screamed as he came closer. "mother!! Please hold on; I'm going to pay for your surgery and treatment now; just hold on a little longer!" He runs to the cashier. "Take! This is my card; I want to make a full payment and upgrade her unit to the best VIP room you have." Everybody looked at him with surprise; they couldn't believe what he was saying. Doctor Patrick couldn't hold his laughter; he couldn't believe these stupid boy's words. "You must be stupid; you are very stupid! So you really want your mom to die—are you even human? Playing with your mom's life like it's a game" Damien didn't listen to Patrick's words; he faced the cashier and said "I will handle the bills now!" The cashier was shocked by Damien's words: Someone who couldn't afford a million dollars wants to book the best Unit. Can he even afford the normal unit? She looks at Damien in disbelief. "Our best unit is the VIP Luxurious Room, which will cost you One million dollars." Patrick's cheeks moved; he wanted to say something, but Damien's words shocked him. "Too cheap, but I will make payments; my mom will have to manage it." Damien handed the card to her; she slotted the card in, and to her greatest surprise, the payment was successful. With a surprising look, she faces Doctor Patrick. "The payment was successful, Doctor Patrick." Everyone, including Patrick, froze; they couldn't believe the worthless boy had just paid one million dollars. Where did he get such money? Patrick voiced out "How are we so certain this card wasn't stolen?" Damien wanted to utter something when the chief director of Bliss Angel entered the scene. He bows 90 degrees immediately. Sorry, Sir Damien, for the inconveniences this fool might have cost you." He quickly ordered the nurses around. "What!! Are you still doing here? Take Sir Damien's mother to the VIP unit this minute!" Doctor Patrick is dumbfounded; he can't believe the director was here and he was talking to the useless boy. Is this a dream? "Sir… Damien, please forgive me for coming late. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me; please don't be offended; I deserve to be punished; please give me any punishment that befits me." Director Billy was shocked when he got a call from Benjamin informing him that Lord Barron's son was on his way, and he told him to keep his identity safe. Doctor Patrick couldn't believe his eyes; if director Billy is begging this man to punish him, he must be the bigshot, but how is that even possible? He tries to understand the scene, but it is getting more complicated. He rushed to Damien and went on his knees. His voice was quavering. "please… Sir Damien, please... I don't know what came over me; I wasn't thinking straight. Please forgive me." Damian was angry for the insult and humiliation he got from Dr. Patrick. He clenched his fists and landed a heavy slap on Patrick's face. "slap" "Why are you sorry?" "I'm sorry for insulting you... Sir" Damian slapped another slap on Patrick's face. "Slap" "Slap" Patrick's face turned red. "I will ask you again why you are sorry!" This time Patrick was feeling the heavy slap on his face, and tears were dropping from his eyes. "please… Forgive me, my lord. I'm sorry for looking down on you. Please forgive me just this once." "slap!" "slap!" "slap" "slap" Blood burst out from his nose, and as he fell to the floor, "I will ask you for the very last time, why are you sorry?" "I'm sorry for calling you a thief; I'm sorry for all those insults; I'm sorry for kicking your mother out of the room; I'm sorry!" director Billy was shocked when he heard Patrick kick Damien's mother out of the care unit. He quickly pounded on him. "I will kill you today, Sir Damien. Please don't waste your strength on this dead man; let me kill him myself." Damien was satisfied; his mind was at peace now. He turned to director Billy. "Bad Eggs like Patrick can't work in a big organization like this." Billy nods his head; he clearly understands what Damien is saying, and he knows exactly what to do. "Go get your stuff, you bastard; you're dismissed, and I will make sure no other hospital employs you. Billy ordered the security guard to kick him out. The cashier was still in shock; she couldn't get her head around what just happened. Who is this man? She thanks her stars she didn't look down on him. Damien's mind was at ease; his mother was receiving treatment, and Mr. Patrick was gone. He faced Billy. He decided not to go home that day. Megan and her family might be waiting for him because of the scene he created at the ceremony, but this time he won't take nonsense from anybody. "Lead the way to the VIP unit; I want to see my mom." Billy quickly pointed in the VIP elevator's direction. "This way, Sir, please follow me." Billy was thanking his stars, he didn't get any punishment for coming late.
