Chapter 142

Read The Consortium’s Heir Chapter 142 – The moment the doctor exited the operation theatre; Alice, Darius’ grandfather and Bruce all rushed forward to meet him. They were very anxious about the outcome of the surgery, and the last few hours of wait was very torturous to them.

“How is my grandson?! Is he okay?!” Darius’ grandfather asked in a voice that left no room for a negative response.

The doctor gulped when faced with Darius’ grandfather’s questioning. He didn’t know much about the old man in front of him, but from his regal demeanor, he could tell that he was not someone he could offend. His years of experience as a surgeon told him that.

“Your grandson is very alright sir. The surgery was a 100% success; and it’s only a matter of time before he is back to full health.”

The doctor said carefully, afraid that any of his words would anger the old man in front of him.

Luckily; the old man didn’t get angry at his words, and only breathed out a sigh of relief. Alice also made use of this opportunity to slip away from Darius’ grandfather. This was the first time she was meeting a relative of Darius, and his grandfather at that.

Alice didn’t want to engage in a conversation with him so soon, and since she had already confirmed that Darius was out of danger, she decided to take her leave now. She would visit him later when he was awake. Besides, she was really dirty and needed to take a shower.

“That’s good. You did well.” Darius ‘grandfather said in a relieved tone.

“Bruce, make sure to reward him.” Darius’ grandfather added after a second.

The doctor didn’t know the significance of James Reid’s reward was, so he only smiled dumbly in response to his words.

“Another thing kind sir,” the doctor said carefully, gently attracting James’ attention to himself once again.

James turned to him and arched one of his eyebrows, while waiting for the doctor to speak.

“Ahem.” The doctor cleared his нспп. не чистил ссаси 110 throat and spoke up.

“Even though the surgery is a 100 percent success, the patient still needs to be monitored carefully, and is in need of some treatment procedures for faster recovery.” The doctor said in a low tone.

“And?” Darius grandfather asked impatiently.

“The equipments at this hospital are not enough to speed up his recovery. He will need to be transferred to a world class hospital where all the equipments are present.” The doctor said.

Darius’ grandfather frowned, and made a mental note to make a hefty donation to this hospital. After all they were the reason his grandson was still alive now.

“Okay.” Darius’ grandfather acquiesced.

“Then if you’ll excuse me,” The doctor bowed and walked towards the restroom. He was tired after the long surgery and needed to wash up. After that, he would take a well deserved nap.

James Reid looked at the theatre room where his grandson currently laid and let out a sigh, before a sharp and ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.

“Get me everything there is to know about this Finn conglomerate. I would like to see what made them so bold.” James Reid ordered in an icy tone, and even Bruce felt a shiver run down his spine.

The rest of the days went as planned. Darius was transferred the next day to a surprising yet familiar hospital, Serene Hospital.

The hospital was one of the best in the district, with a lot of state of the art medical facilities and equipments, so it wasn’t a surprising thought that Darius was transferred to the hospital.

News of Alice kidnap couldn’t be kept under wraps, especially when a huge entourage of police officers was on the road leading to Ophen Hills. Their movements certainly generated a lot of fanfare, and it only took a little investigation to find out the reason behind the police appearance.

Darius and Alice then entered the spotlight, especially in Kingston University. Alice was greatly envied wherever she went as Darius; a well known wealthy student had placed himself right on the forefront of danger to save Alice.

There was also the fact that Darius was handsome, and therefore he was the perfect example of a heart throb. Many students began wondering if he was now in a relationship with Alice.

On the other hand, the moment Darius’ ex roommates and friends heard of his admission to Serene Hospital, they rushed over to the hospital immediately.

As Darius was a very important figure, he was naturally admitted to the best room in the hospital, with three pretty nurses attending to him at every moment. There were also two policemen stationed outside his hospital room, as they had to protect him since his statement hadn’t been taken yet.

Even though it had been days since his surgery, none of the policemen dared to question Darius during his recovery period, especially after they had been scolded severely by their superiors for not being able to apprehend the culprit, Michael Finn. They had been instructed to wait until Darius was fully healed before taking his statement.

When Darius’ closest friends, Marcus, Greg and Rudd arrived at the hospital, they were denied access to Darius’ hospital room;

but after learning that they were in fact Darius’ close friends, the receptionist didn’t dare hold them back anymore and granted them access to his room immediately.

“Darius!” Greg hollered the moment he entered the room.

“Hey Greg.” Darius greeted back in a low voice. It was really a close shave this time. He didn’t expect that Michael would suddenly pull out a pistol and shoot him. He was incredibly lucky that he survived this ordeal.

“How are you doing man?” Rudd asked; worry evident in his voice and expression.

“I’ve been better.” Darius replied with a small smile on his face.

“That’s great news. I was so worried when I heard what happened.” Greg started.

The four of them then engaged in small talk, keeping the conversation light as they didn’t want to stress Darius more than he already was.

They were just in the middle of a conversation when the door abruptly opened. They ceased their conversation and turned to the door, but the moment the four of them laid their eyes on the person who walked in, astonishment was written all on their faces!
