Within a few minutes, the paramedics shifted her to the ambulance. James Thomson followed it and reached the hospital. His mobile phone had rung again for the fifth time. He looked at the mobile annoyingly.
"This grandfather of mine is going to make my life a hell."He mumbled and switched off his mobile phone and reached near the emergency room of the hospital hurriedly.
"Are you the guardian of the patient?"A nurse came running towards him and asked hurriedly.
"Yes, I am. How is she?"James Thomson replied.
"Is it an accident case? The patient's condition is not good. We have to inform the police. Please provide us the details of the accident. "The nurse said hurriedly.
"Yes, it is an accident case, but you need not inform the police. I am the person here who was involved in the accident. I will take care of the patient. Please start with the procedure of her treatment."James Tomson said in a worried tone.
"Sir, we can not do this. Only we can do the treatment with the consent of her family members because she needs major surgery. Please help us to complete the formalities as soon as possible. Otherwise, the lady would die. She had already lost a lot of blood. We have to contact her family members as well as the police department."The nurse said in a worried tone.
James Thomson knew that if the case goes to the police, then the whole country would know about the accident. The people would make him a murderer if something happens to the girl. The competitors of his company are waiting for a chance like this. They would inform the reporters to troll him.
'No...I can not let this happen. I must protect my reputation anyhow. I can not harm the company for my carelessness.'He thought.
"Sir, what are you thinking? Please come with me, so that we can start with the procedure."The nurse said again.
"Sister. Actually, I can give the required consent. Because, she .....she is my fiancee. I am here to take responsibility. I will bear all the cost of her treatment. You just do the necessary treatments."James Thomson said in a calm tone.
The nurse stunned to hear him.
"Oh I am sorry, I did not know that you are her family member. Please fill in the form. The patient needs a blood transfusion. We have not enough blood of her type. Will you test your blood type?"
"What is her blood group?"
"She is AB positive."The nurse replied.
"Is it? Then I can donate my blood to her. My blood is also the same as her."
"Then it is good. Please submit the form over there and follow me."The nurse said happily.
"Sure. Please wait for a moment."James replied and take out his pen to fill -up the form.
'Name.....what will I write?Ruby....Tina...No, I think Jula is good. Hmmm...age..... what is her age? Might be 30? No.....by looking at her face, she is not that much old. But I even did not look at her face properly. Hmmm.....Let me write 27. Yes....... Done. Address?.....Oh, God! Why there is a lot of information they are asking? But what is this? Why am I doing all these for an unknown woman? For that woman, I even could not attend such an important family meeting. I think my grandfather would kill me. What if he would do as he just threatened me?What if he actually does as he said? No. I can not marry that woman.'James Thomson lost in deep thought.
"Sir, are you done? We are waiting."A nurse called him from the reception desk.
James Thomson came back to the present to hear the voice of the nurse.
"Oh. I am sorry. I was thinking something. Here take this. I have filled up everything."James Tomson said and handed the form to the reception desk and followed a nurse to the blood bank.
In the Vivanta seven-star hotel, Mr. Gerard Thomson was yelling at his son and daughter-in-law.
"Harris, you and your wife, both of you are responsible for all these. You two have always let him do as he wishes. Who told you to give him permission to stay separately in that house? If you two would have taught him some basic rules of the family, he would never be like this. How dare he turn off his mobile? What he is thinking about me? Today I am warning you. Control your son or instead of him I will make Derrick my successor ."
"F.....Father, I....I never disobeyed you in my life. But please let my son live his life as he wishes. He ....he has also some dreams. Please father. Don't be too hard on him. He does not want to marry Helen. So, please let him go."James Thomson's father Harris Thomson said in a worried tone.
"You punk! What did you say? He does not want to marry her? Just tell me what is lacking in her? She is the only daughter of Porter family. It is his luck that they came forward themselves with the marriage proposal. Don't forget that the Porter family is not just anyone that we can reject. Ronald Porter is going to make James his successor after the marriage."The old man yelled in a loud voice.
"But father, I don't want to make my son's life a hell for status or position."Harris Thomson said in a low tone.
"Harris, what do you mean by making his life hell? You too married Catherine for a business deal. Is your life hell now?" Mr. Gerard Thomson was angrier now. But Harris Thomson was determined to express his feelings that day.
"My life is not hell because, even if I married Catherine as a business deal, but I did not care about it much that time. Time has changed now. James is very sensitive about the relationship. He will never agree to marry anyone as a business deal ." He said in a calm tone.
"Harris, don't try to argue with me. I am not going to change my decision."The old man said arrogantly.
"Please father. He is doing good in the business. Although he is just 29 years old, he is known as a successful businessman. Let him do as he wishes. Please trust in him. He will do better in the future, even without the help of the Porter family."Harris Thomson said in a pleaded tone.
" Don't forget that today you, as well as your son, are known as a successful businessman in the world of business only because of me. I can make a person hero to Zero. Tell your son to be careful. Otherwise, I will disown him. Would he be able to be successful without me? Inform him of the date of his marriage. It is good that Helen's parents did not make things hard for us even though he was not here."Gerrard Thomson said in a bold voice.
"But .....father, should not we ask him before....." James Thomson's mother wanted to speak something but stopped by the old man.
"Catherine, you go home and cook good food for your husband. Don't try to step out of the boundary. Your son must marry Helen on that day. It is final. Now leave me alone. I want to take some rest. Your son has already given me a headache. You two leave first. I will go home after some time."The old man said and closed his eyes.
Both Harris Thomson and his wife looked at him worriedly and left the hotel.
"Now what? Would James listen to him?"Mrs. Catherine Thomson asked in a low voice.
"He must follow as father wish. We have to make him agree. I can not let that Derrick take his position. I have sacrificed a lot for this." Mr. Harris Thomson said in a low voice.
"But....."
"Catherine. Don't worry. Everything will be fine. He will be happy with Helen."Harris Thomson stopped his wife and said with a smile.
