CHAPTER 16:
"Her breathing is so low, so low that she needs urgent attention. She's loosing it!" the doctor subconsciously took two steps back.
"What? We talked well last night, she was fine and naturally fell asleep. I looked after her all night, can you explain what you just said?" Yuvan was shocked.
"Sir, this is strange!" the doctor paused for a moment. "so far we only had one patient who has this kind of response. One would look fine suddenly, be active but the next moment they're dead. He actually passed away just like that. One woman named Macy Albert experienced this once. The doctor can't really figure out what is wrong!" After the doctor gave the order and Nova was carefully carried to the stretcher and out of the room, the doctor explained to Yuvan.
Yuvan narrowed his eyes and looked at the doctor in a strange angle. "What do you mean?"
"That the chances of saving her are minimal. She actually wasn't fine all the way." The doctor paused again, "you can say she was actually fooling everyone at her last moment. I don't know how to explain this to you, it's a rare thing to happen and... This is the second patient am attending to with this condition."
"Next time you do this, you'll be dead!" Yuvan thought as he curled his lips and kept quiet. Just then, his phone vibrated. He looked at the message...
It was from Audrey Peters... "When I saw you, my heart skipped a bit and I knew you're the right man for me."
Yuvan kept staring at the phone for a while until another message popped up.
"If you get time, can we please share a drink? I'll wait for your response honey."
"Well," Yuvan stuck the phone back in his pocket and looked up at the doctor. "She must live. I'll leave everything in your hands. I have something to attend to."
The doctor nodded...
After all it was a Monday morning and he had to go, change and plan his day.
... Diamond mansion...
Leo opened the door and Yuvan walked out. He walked into the villa and met Lucas watching the morning news. He was back to his normal self.
When he saw Yuvan, he almost snorted but remembered he was in his villa. So he cursed inwardly.
"Good Morning." Lucas greeted but Yuvan didn't spare him a chance and directly started walking upstairs.
"You don't care how I fair on do you?" Lucas cast the remote on the glass table.
"Am I your father?" Yuvan stopped on the stairs and looked back. "I see you're perfectly in shape. I don't expect men to be so petty. Ooh... I remember, you're one useless rich kids used to being pampered! Not in this house."
"Hey, am not a rich kid." Lucas looked at him with wide eyes.
"Ooh... Well. In that case, I got you something to do. Maybe putting on a more serious face will make you more respected and not look spoilt. After all, those playmates only stepped on your head. Won't you take this chance?" Yuvan asked. He has too many companies to take care of and he will get Lucas to be under one.
Lucas smiled from end to end. His complicated story was starting to change. However said light at the end of the tunnel, come for a hug from this man who's life changed because he called a stranger brother after a bet. So sweet.
"Of course brother!" Lucas jumped up from his seat with a shining face.
"It's not an easy job. You'll have to talk over the oil company. I have more than enough to do. Don't take it negatively, am more than capable of managing all this work. I just thought, the first person who called me brother deserves something."
"Are you? The Ranvier heir?" Lucas still didn't believe even after the maids told him that.
"What do you think?" Yuvan rolled his eyes at him. One guard came in with a box and bowed before him.
"Boss, they have been delivered!" he said respectfully.
"Give it to him." Yuvan motioned it to Lucas.
Lucas widened his eyes as he received the box.
"Change into those!" Yuvan went upstairs without looking back. Lucas ran into his room and changed. When he came out, Yuvan was leaning on the stairs looking at his phone. He had changed into a navy blue well tailored suit and leather shoes. He looked at Lucas without much care.
For the first time, Lucas was in an expensive suit. He really looked like one big shot. He wasn't bad looking either. It was only that Yuvan was outstanding and dominating that's Lucas didn't outshine him.
"How did you know my size?" Lucas fitted perfectly as if he had personally been tailored in them.
"Hmph! You're not any hard to access, with your appearance, how can I struggle?" Yuvan walked down before Lucas cane before him.
"Hey, am not that bad!" Lucas snorted. Did Yuvan really know how to differentiate between an insult and a compliment?
He didn't say anything more. They got into the car and drove to the largest oil company. Yuvan led the way, it wasn't actually leading the way, he just walked forward and didn't give Lucas time to look around. As a matter of fact, Lucas followed running. This Yuvan of a guy was taking extremely long strides.
After the elevator stopped, he headed directly to the company hall where every stuff assembled. Yuvan took the comfortable lead seat. Not knowing what to do, Lucas stood behind him awkwardly. This guys isn't welcoming. He's self centred. How can he not care about someone he brought here?
"As I said the other day I was here, we need new management and changes to be done here for the smooth running of the company. Therefore, Lucas here... Lucas, what's your second name for proper introduction?" Yuvan looked at Lucas.
