The Consortium's Heir

The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 114

Chapter 114 When Emily, the nurse who was speaking to Vera, turned around and saw the middle– aged woman, her eyes widened in surprise. “Director Yul!” Emily exclaimed in surprise. The middle aged woman with a haughty demeanor was none other than the Director of Serene Hospital. Of course, as the Director of the hospital, she had a very high status in the hospital.

“Emily, what is the issue?” Director Yul asked with a frown on her face.

Emily hesitated to respond to the Director, but Director Yul glared at her. Emily had no choice but to recount the events that had led up to this situation. She did, however, leave out several details about when she paid for the treatments with her own allowance fees. She was aware of how difficult Director Yul could be, and she didn‘t want to make things more difficult for Vera.

As Emily narrated the incidents, the frown on her face grew increasingly prominent. By the time Emily was done, she was sporting a very huge frown on her face.

She turned to Vera who was slumped weakly on the ground and walked over to her.

“Miss Vera, if you are unable to pay the medical bills in the next five minutes, then we will discharge your mother immediately.” Director Yul stated mercilessly.

Vera eyes widened in panic at her statement and rushed to hold her arm.

“Please no. You can‘t do that.” Vera pleaded with merciful eyes.

However, Yul pushed Vera‘s hand that was holding on to her arm and stated cruelly with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

“Yes I can.”

Darius frowned at Director Yul‘s harsh tone. From what he heard, Vera‘s medical bills were long overdue, and she needed to pay the rest of the medical bills otherwise her mother would be discharged from the hospital without fail. Darius knew that her mother was not yet healed from her illness, and discharging her from the hospital now would only aggravate her illness. Even though the hospital was right to discharge her after three months of treatment without complete payment, there was no need for Director Yul to be extremely harsh to Vera.

Vera was dejected at Director Yul‘s harsh response. She knew more than anyone how impossible it was for her to come up with the medical bills for her mother‘s treatment in just five minutes. It was as good as discharging her mother five minutes earlier. Just as Vera thought that all hope was lost, a clear voice rang out in the hospital.

“How much are her medical expenses?” Vera looked up in surprise to see a young man in his twenties, like her, walking towards Director Yul. When he came into her line of sight, she was rendered speechless.

The young man was incredibly attractive, tall and also very well built. As he spoke, there was an undertone of authority in his voice.

Director Yul was taken aback at Darius question, but soon recovered her senses. She then sneered at Darius and asked in a disdainful tone.

“Why? Do you think you can afford it?” Director Yul asked.

Even though she didn‘t know who Darius was, she was sure that he had no idea how things worked at Serene Hospital. In fact, she believed that he only made that statement out of the sentiment he felt for Vera. This was because the medical bills for three months worth of treatment were nowhere cheap, especially at a renowned hospital like Serene Hospital.

Moreover, Darius was dressed very casually. This threw the Director off, and made her look down on him considerably.

Vera turned to Darius and spoke in a weak tone. “Thank you mister for your kindness; I‘m truly grateful. However, this is my problem to solve. Please don‘t be bothered about it.” Vera said weakly. After looking at Darius casual outfit, she had the same line of thought as Director Yul. She strongly believed that there was no way Darius could afford her mother‘s medical bills, so she didn‘t want to burden him at all.

It was then that Darius got a clear look of the lady‘s face, as he had been at her back the whole time. He was pleasantly surprised at her facial features. Although she had black circles underneath her eyes, which was probably because of lack of proper sleep, her facial features were still incredibly pretty. Instead of being repulsed, it made Darius want to help her out the more. He then turned to Director Yul and asked coldly. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Are you going to show me the medical bills or not?” Director Yul‘s eyes widened at his cold tone, before sneering at him. She then turned to Emily and asked harshly.

“Where are the medical bills?”

Emily brought out the medical bills and handed it over to her. She stretched and snatched it from Emily‘s hands before handing them over to Darius. Darius collected them and took a brief glance at the medical bills. When he was done, he smirked at Director Yul before stating in a calm tone. “If I‘m able to pay the medical bills, you‘ll have to apologize to Vera and nurse Emily.”

Director Yul scowled and looked at Darius warily. Darius noticed her skeptical look and spoke in a taunting tone. “What? Are you afraid that I‘ll actually be able to afford the bills?” Darius taunted while

staring at Director Yul straight in the eyes. Director Yul flared up right at that moment, and anger overcame her rationality. “Yes! I‘ll apologize to both of them.” She agreed angrily. “However if you‘re not able to do so, you will leave this hospital this moment and never come back here in your life again.” Director Yul added angrily. “Sure.” Darius answered indifferently. Vera panicked when she saw Darius so easily agreeing to Director Yul‘s condition. She knew Darius had someone who needed to be treated here, or perhaps he needed to be treated himself, which was why he was here. If he was barred from entering the hospital, he would be in big trouble! Meanwhile, Director Yul and the other onlookers looked at Darius as if he were a moron. He clearly had no idea how valuable the Serene Hospital was, or he would not have agreed to such an unfavorable condition. After all, what was an apology compared to being barred from the district‘s best hospital? Darius didn‘t bother with them. Instead he walked to the counter where the payments were being made. He then brought out his black card and swiped it on the payment machine. While everyone expected to see his transaction declined, a loud robotic voice echoed in the lobby.
