Billionaire For The Holidays のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Clive looked down where he saw David Storm kneeling on his knees for him. Clive had the urge to kick him from holding his leg but his boss was there. His boss and his boss' girlfriend. He couldn't make himself seem like an uncultured person like the one that was kneeling down for him now. "Get up". Clive spoke in a whisper. "Get up. " He repeated when David refused to listen to him. David shook his head. Tears running out of his eyes as he apologized numerously. "Please forgive me. Forgive me first and I promise you that I'll make sure that I never try what I did again. I won't! " Clive had no mood to do this. He had just learned how to get back to his normal ways of life now this man was here to ruin everything for him. "Clive?" Andrew had a question mark on his face. "Who's this?" Clive shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know." He wasn't lying. He didn't really know who this man was. And he never wanted to know. "Clive I promise you I'll give you anything

Clive turned to look at David. " What the hell do you want?" "Right now I want us to try to do something. I don't know what but at least try." Clive took a deep breath. " I'm gonna regret this but I'm so tired of standing here and having an endless conversation with you. So okay, fine... Whatever." He turned to leave again but the same thing happened David stopped him this time with his hand intertwining itself with his. Clive glanced at their hands. "And what's this?" "What do you mean?" "David... Oh gosh! You know what I don't care! Do whatever you want." They both walked back to the car where June and Andrew were waiting for them. They both were staring at them. At their hands too. Question marks written on their faces. But no answers were given by neither Clive or David. They just both got into the car. Silence was in the air as the car drove off to the mansion. Before they could get to their destination though June decided to break the silence.

"Sorry sir". The nurse said apologetically. " You didn't get hers with anything but your wife. I'm sure maybe the phone got lost in the crash. I'm sorry. " Clive sighed. He knew that the nurse was right. He hadn't had his phone with him when the car had crashed. He had been so focused on getting Sarah to the hospital that he hadn't thought about his own things. "How's the baby?" He asked. "Is it okay?" He felt scared. "What if something's wrong?"The nurse smiled at him. "The doctors are taking good care of your wife and the baby." She reassured him. "I don't have any more information for you right now. But I'll make sure to keep you updated as soon as I know anything." Clive nodded. He breathed deeply trying to get himself stable. He didn't want to be an unruly patient. The nurse noticed that he was trying to calm himself down. "That's good." She said. "Just try to breathe and focus on your breathing." She watched him for a moment to make sure he was okay. "If you need a

"But this isn't your child. I understand that this is hard for you to accept, but it's the hospital's mix-up and we'll be the ones to pay a sum to you and the other father for this horrible event that just happened. " The doctor waved to the elderly nurse. " Take the baby to her rightful father please." Clive gasped in pain as he saw the child that he had just accepted as his own get walked out of the door. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Maxwell." The doctor said again. "We're going to do everything we can to make this right. But for now, I need to ask you some questions about your wife. I need to know what happened to her. If you don't mind." He gestured to a chair in the corner of the room. "Please, have a seat."Clive numbly walked over to the chair and sat down. He felt like he was in a daze. How could this be happening? He had been so happy just moments ago. He had thought that he had a daughter. But he had nothing. He had no wife and no child. He saw that the doctor was talking but he

Doctor Jeffrey wasn't sure if he could trust David's promises. He had already shown that he was willing to use violence to get what he wanted. But he had to play along, at least for now. "I understand that you're concerned for the man's well-being." He said. "But I can't give you any more information. I'm bound by patient confidentiality." He hoped he sounded convincing. "I hope you understand."David glared at him. "You're not making things easy for me." He said. "Do you know what I can do to you for this continuous disregard for me? I can make your life a living hell. Now tell me what I want to hear!" Doctor Jeffrey felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that David was serious. He was in a very dangerous situation. He had to think of something, fast. "I'm sorry, Mr. Storm." He said. "But I can't give you any information. I'm bound by the law." He was terrified, but he had to keep his cool. He had to stay calm. "I know you're upset, but I can't help you. I hope you understand."
