Chapter 48 Hospital
Xavier had now hung up the call, that was awkward, he barely knew what all these things are about, but then, what more can he do about it? nothing at all. He now relaxed his bones, he was kind of tired from the day’s journey, and the more he even thought about those things, his mind was now kind of unsettled.
Deep down in Xavier’s mind, he was tired, the stress from the evening was getting the best out of him, but then, what more can he do?
Right now, the man’s face was a hue of colors.
The meeting was a fantastic one, and he is now done for the day. He knew that the only thing he has to do now is to go to the hospital and meet Collins. He is not quite happy with the fact that he had wasted a lot of time at the conference room, but them, the people in charge of controlling the election were there. For the president’s post, if was a five years term of ruling and renewable one, and thus, the former president no longer was eligible to attain for the next ruling session. This is more of Xavier’s strength, to reach where the former president did not.
His personal bodyguard now guarded him to his car as he entered and sat there relaxing. There is nothing more precious than being the priority, naturally, Xavier is rich, and more to that, is from a wealthy background. His family has gotten his back, and that is his priority, they helped in raising part of the money used for the campaign, and more to that, he is well-known for his good deeds.
That is the most important thing, there is nothing that could happen more than what is already being there. Resting his back in the car,
Xavier focused his mind of the road. His driver is aware of the fact that Collins had being hospitalized since he drove him to the scene lady night. So far, everything was good, and even though he doubted where he was going to, Xavier was there to direct him right now.
“Nicholas?” Xavier called out nicely.
His eyes were glued to the outside, as he looked at the beauty of the world.
“Yes, Mr. Xavier,” Nicholas replied with with calmness as he pulled out of the parking lot. Making sure that the road was clear, he was kind of attentive. His attention was on the road, he slided his eyes towards the rearview as he spied at Mr. Xavier sitting behind the car comfortably.
At this moment, Xavier knew it was time to push on with his words especially when he wanted to be heard, he wanted his mind to relax for a little bit, but then what more can he even do right now. As he braced his mind about it, he looked at her and said the words that were evident.
“Can we pass at any food point, I want to buy some food for the guys at the hospital right now,” Xavier blurted out lightly.
His eyes glared at Nick for a while, his breathe was normal, and he smiled brightly.
“Yes, Sir,” Nicholas answered quickly.
He kind of replied positively to what the man had to say, it pleased him, and as well, the moment he watched the direction Nick had taken, he smiled brightly beachse he was really haply about the occurrances.
It was at exactly nine p. m. when Xavier entered Collin’s hospital ward. He was in Doaula’s general hospital, where he had secured an entire room for him. He had the money to pay for the V. I. P section of the hospital, at least, for the fact that he wanted Collins should have his own space and treatment which was special. There air condition in the room was more that moderate, it gave the room a freshness that was required, and more to that, the service in the clinic was a special one which she knows about it so well. Xavier had not come alone, behind him, Nicholas trotted lightly, he had a big plastic in his arm as food was inside. The aroma from it waffled their nostrils.
“Thank you, Nick, you can leave us now,” Xavier said lightly as the man deposited the things on a small table beside the bed.
Even though Collins felt pain all over his body, and had only a drip on his hand, there was no way he could leave the hospital because he was bandaged almost everywhere, because he had several sprained bones. His right leg and left arm suffered the most, and he could barely resist the constant pain.
Even though such things have happen to him, Collins sense of humor was still top-notch, he knew how to make everyone around him laugh as much as possible, and thus, it helped him relieve the pain he felt that was just so horrible.
“You are welcome, bro,” Collins called out as he tried his best to push out a light smile around his lips. In the room, Michael was there so, he greeted as well. He sat on a stool, and woke up immediate to offer one to Xavier. Well, he had a lot of respect for the man in front of him, he considered Xavier as his senior brother from another mother just like the man consider him as a kid bro too. Therefore, of was mutual, and the status was good enough, especially as he looksd up to Xavier with so much admiration in her eyes.
“Good evening guys, and Collins, my bad, I am coming in just now, please, forgive me. By the way, I couldn’t bring any alcoholic drink for you because of your condition, but Mike, you are lucky enough to drink whatever you want. This, your favorite can beer was bought. The meal are in the plastic, so, we can help ourselves from it then,” Xavier muttered out.
Her voice was gentle, and even though Collins had a slight frown on his face, he Immediately deleted it from his face, this is what matters, more than anything on earth.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“What did I ever do to you in order for you to truncate my appetite for beer this evening, huh? talk to me now, Xavier,” Collins spat out angrily.
Even though he was mad, he could not possible through his anged on Xavier because he will definitely beat the tell out of her, and that is the truth about it. Making that the others wouldn’t take this his ingrateful attitude serious, he decided to chuckle, at least, his elder brother was simply being good at him, and talkind back at him will be disrespectful, and also on the fact that things aren’t working quite well for her.
“Please, Mike, can you check on what is there? I am famished,” Collins said calmly.
Instantly as he said those words, Michael nodded his head and walked towards the food bag immediately wanting to help him out.
Since the drip was put on his left hand, he found it much easier for him to eat with the right hand, that was awesome, and as he kept his eyes glued on his friend’s own, he expected the food with immidiate effect. Since all of the food was fast food, a packet of food was handed to the man whereby he was expected to eat.
Opening it for him, Michael now handed the meal to him. It was fried rice and the smell of well cooked rice waffled Collins nostrils whereby he liked the way the lady had done things right now, it was awesome, not only that, a very big slice of chicken rested about the plate.
This is something Collins was familiar with, he had seen it more than a million time, yet, he acted like Xavier had done him the beat favor on earth. Well, actually, that might be one of the things he likes, but now, it is exaggerated, he loves such situations to a fault and it made him extremely glad.
“Thank you so much, Xavier, I think theeat I am just so going to enjoy myself. Thank you,” he murmured gently.
The way he sounded made Xavier smile brightly as he nodded his head lightly. It was really awesome, he knew that such things would ever happen, but then, what more can he even do? nothing at all.
Michael was now arranging the second bowl of food, and when he was done, he handed it to Xavier.
“Here, Mr. Xavier, you can have this,” Nike said calmly.
He has always being the good boy, and the bond between them was strong, and he kind of liked it. There is nothing more he can do about it, and the fact that he admires their family, it wass awesome for him to be a part of their team, help with Xavier’s campaign and do things right like everything was cool.
“Thank you so much, Michael,” Xavier said cooly.
His tone was light, and he meant the words that left his mouth. The stress from the man’s side was too much, and he was hungry as well. Michael scooped out the last packet containing the meal that was meant for him as he hurriedly ate. It was okay by him, especially when he had to do little things like this that help so much.
Collins’s family had helped Mike and his own family over the years, he is here today, healthy, and rich is because they all helped him so much. The young man has being such a great help to him, that is awesome, and the way it is right now, all what she wants to do right now is to help them so fast.
For a very long time, Mike had being too sick especially when they were in school, their standard of living at home wasn’t the best, they weren’t too rich nor poor, but then, he just wanted to make things work out the way they wanted it, by just elevating their standards of living.
Sighing, Michael had learnt life the hard way, and the manner in which the Barley’s had helped him in his life, he doesn’t think he will ever have the money to repay them again. Firstly, they paid for his health when he had a chronic chest pain, that was awkward, but then, Collins had found out and had paid for the drugs from his own pocket money. Being friends with them, Collins had never being disrespectful towards Mike because he knew that not everyone was born with a golden spoon in the mouth. The number of times Mile had got to spend in the Barley’s house, one would think that he was another of their son.
So far, he was good, and that is the most important thing right now. Sighing, the young man’s mind was now in place, he took a sit, and as he looked at the his family that he had gotten himself not by birth, but then, he needs to be faithful to them in every possible. This is quite important, he loves everything that is going on now, it makes him want to pop up a light smile from across his face, it was natural, and sincere.
As they all ate, Xavier loved the view that was in front of him, Collins and Mike didn’t make quite a sound as the savored their meal, he was more than pleased over the fact that his babygrothwr was actually doing better than the way he had seen him last night.
He thought he was going to die, his bloody body, his swollen face, and more, almost lifeless. Even though Xavier had panicked, he learnt how to keep his blood pressure low, especially as he moaned almost every bit of the journey. Right now, the flesh around his left eye is slowly turning purple, he looks like he needs help, and several questions popped into Xavier’s head, especially when he did not know those who had done this to him. Truth be told, it was going to be a big problem for him now.
