POSSESSION: The Hidden Omega In All Alphas' Academy [BL]-Chapter 150: You’ll be fine right?
Chapter 150: Chapter 150: You’ll be fine right?
"Mom? I have been waiting for your call since yesterday, but I could never reach you...do you realize how much you had me scared? I couldn’t reach Granny Elma’s phone either...and I felt like I was weighing a huge block of fear on my chest all this time! Didn’t you tell her to inform me first? How could you scare me like that, Mom?"
Kylian’s loud excited shriek flinched Zenith too, as he lifted his gaze up from the porridge bowl and watched Kylian standing up from the chair to stroll back and forth inside the dining hall. Speaking over the phone, he looked too excited to smile and complain anxiously at the same time, but his ocean eyes which seemed a bit grim until now had lit up radiantly after receiving Marita’s call.
"Oh my baby, I am really sorry, but I was too exhausted from the surgery yesterday...and maybe that’s why, Granny Elma also forgot to let you know as she was busy tending me." Marita let out a small heartfelt chuckle as if she was truly grateful to hear Kylian’s voice when she spoke in a soft voice.
"You don’t have to apologize, Mom. How are you feeling now? Do you want me to come over there—"
"I am really okay now, Kyle. The operation was a huge success and I am almost on my way of recovering completely. I am admitted to a very good hospital, and they tend their patients very carefully. That’s why, I regained my strength a little today to talk to you. I missed you a lot, my baby..."
Even though Marita tried to pretend cheerful over the phone call, somehow a part of his heart made Kylian feel an intuition that her voice had a hint of sadness in it.
But putting his overthinking aside as he was finally able to speak to her, Kylian’s eyes curved with joy when he mumbled, "I missed you too, Mom! I am so glad to hear that you’re in a good hospital and they’re giving you great care. You don’t understand how grateful I feel to our Holy Moon Goddesses for making the surgery successful... Mom, you’ll be completely fine, right?"
Keenly watching Kylian speak in such a jovial tone stirred a feeling of guilt inside Zenith with which he lowered his gaze down from him. As he had given his word to Marita, he was bound to keep everything a secret from Kylian, but right now watching him talk so happily to his mother made him realize once again how much she must’ve meant to him...
But Zenith was also very aware, that the dark truth about Marita’s way of sending Kylian to the Elite Academy would brutally crush his innocent heart to the point he would blame everything upon himself, falling into the pit of despair.
DING!
At that very moment, a text notification flashed on his screen and Zenith saw it was from an unknown number. Upon checking it, he realized it was from one of the men he had planted in that Hospital to keep a watch over Marita. As per his instruction, the text was a summary of the report they had received from the doctor.
> "Hello, Young Master. The doctor has given us the complete prescription and we have fetched all the necessary medications required for Ms. Marita, but...as per the final report we have received, it concluded her heart was still in a poor condition, and excessive blood loss during the surgery made it worse for her.
"The doctor tried to persuade her to opt for a better treatment after she recovered from the post-surgery effect, but she was reluctant. The doctor is afraid that he has done everything he could do for her, but...her life span might have been cut short a lot. If she’s lucky, she would be able to live at least a year or two without the treatment, otherwise..."
The text struck him deeply in his heart like a turbulent jolt of thunder, rendering Zenith speechless as he stayed still like a statue. His dark onyx eyes could only see the bright smile flashing on Kylian’s face with just one phone call, but in contrast to the report he received, he knew what would be the terrible aftermath if he didn’t take drastic measures.
He quickly texted back in a rigid and domineering to his men without a delay of one second. "Hurry up and bring the best overseas cardiologist for her checkup, today. Arrange a private jet for his arrival and make sure to take care of all his fees and bills, without letting none of those two women about it. They won’t accept the help if they know the amount of cash we are pouring in. Do not late any second and make sure the doctor convinces her to accept the treatment, okay? I will take your head if you fail to bring in the doctor by today!"
His threatening message did the wonder as the person couldn’t text him back for a few minutes, as if he was already petrified. However, after a brief contemplation, a text came right back asking Zenith, "But Sir...how are we supposed to bring the doctor by today? We need to make an appointment at least a month ago..."
> "Bribe them. Tell them, that if they arrive by today, I will give up a few stocks I had under my name for our company, and I will do it right instant. Bribe them with anything they want...but...I can’t afford to let something happen to her, do you fuckin’ understand?"
Giving up on a few of those big shares that he had obtained as Dolemort’s heir for the most successful Pharmaceutical company in the country was a huge deal and the person seemed to have been shocked by Zenith’s desperate step which he didn’t even think of a second before he opted.
Flipping his phone down on the table after clearing those messages, Zenith lifted his dark intense eyes on Kylian’s miling radiant face under the warm sunlight when he mumbled to himself, ’I won’t let your smile fade away.
’I am prepared to give up on everything and anything I have now to keep that smile on your face intact. I will not let you break like me, Kyle. I am sorry for keeping away everything from you for now, but...you’ll understand me someday...right?’
