Chapter 129

" Half a million !? "

The parents was suprised by the price that the doctor told them but Of course I knew it was a flat out lie by reading his heartbeats. What is this doctor up to I wonder?

" Where are we going to get that kind of money ?"

The mother ask

" I'll have to get an extra job or ask my boss for a raise but I don't think that we would be able to get that kind of money in such a short time "

Seeing the parents stressing it remind me of what I went through with my past life .

" If you can't pay, then we can't treat her "

The doctor said.

" I'll pay for it "

I said as I leaned up off the wall.

" I have the money, I'll pay for it "

I said.

" Who is this girl? "

The father ask.

" She's my friend, Roselina "

Regina introduce me to her parent as she walk up to me.

" roselina, I can't allow you, I'll quit school and get a job "

Regina said.

" But if you quit school, I wouldn't have a friend to talk to "

I said with a smile.

" But "

" No buts, I'll help you as a friend, Please let me do this just this once "

I took up the phone and called Kelly.

" Kelly, Can you send over a driver with some money ?"

<< Okay, send me your location and I'll send it to you >>

" Thank you "

I hanged up the phone.

" It's done "

I said.

The parents was happy.

" Young lady we can't thank you enough, How will we ever repay you ?"

The mother ask.

" Dont worry, even it takes my entire life, I'll pay you back "

The father said.

" I'll help pay you back as well "

Regina said.

" It's okay, there is no need. I've invited regina to spend the weekend with me, if you can let her stay over with me that will be your payment "

I said.

The all looked at each other.

" Sure, if that's what you need, She can stay as long as she likes "

The father said

Soon, Diane came with two female body gaurds.

" miss Valentine, I've the money as you requested "

Diane said.

One of the body gaurds opened the brief case filled with Pounds . Regina and her parents was suprised and the doctor drool as he looked at so much money.

" Can you treat her ?"

I ask.

" Yes, nurse prepare for the operation "

The doctor said.

I took up five rack of money which is around 50,000

" good, here's the fee "

I said with a smile.

The doctors was shocked.

" Is this a joke? "

He ask.

" No, This is the actual fee for doing the surgery, You think I was stupid to see that you were scamming these people "

I said.

" What ? how dare you make such an accusation, I'm the best doctors in this hospital, I make millions a year , what does that have to compare to a measly half of a million"

He shout at me.

" What's going on here? "

An old man walked with others doctor with him.

" Chief, these people are belittling our hospital ! "

Washfield shout. Honestly he sounds like a child whining to their parents saying " Mommy ! daddy ! this kid is bullying me !"

" is that true? "

The chief doctor ask.

" What kind of hospitals overcharges their patients, is this a hospital or a hotel. I'm sure the surgery isn't being performed by Jesus "

I ask

" arrogant child, how dare you !? "

Shout Washfield

I took out the phone and played the recording of him charging the patient half of a million for the operation and when I paid the actual fee he starts barking like an unfed dog.

" If I take this recording to court, tell me, how will your hospital fear to explain. I can already see you sweating like hogs in the summer before the judge "

I said with a ominous smile.

Soon the room fall silent.

" Damn, brat, you think you have authority of us ? "

Shout the greedy doctor Washfield.

" Of course she does "

Suddenly Diane walked forward.

" Have you forgotten who is sponsoring this hospital? "

She ask the chief.

" Wait, your.. "

The chief was silent and his expression turn to fear as he look at Diane's face before he turned to me.

" Little girl, what's your name? "

" Roselina Lambrosa De Valentine, why ? "

The chief was even more suprised by my name.

" What, I never heard of you, you can't........"

As Washfield shout at me he recieved a slap to the face from the chief. He walked up to Diane and started apologizing to her .

" Miss Diane, I'm so sorry for my subordinate rudeness "

" Don't apologize to me, apologize to me Valentine, "

" Yes, Sorry, Miss Valentine "

" Yes, no problem, I just wanted my friend sister to get better "

" Don't worry, I'll have my best doctors in it. In fact I'll head the surgery myself"

Damn, everywhere I turn places are owned or sponsored by Kelly and her subordinate, at this rate she might as well own all of London.

" Chief, what going on ? why are you apologizing to them? "

Washfield ask he hold his red cheek in confusion. The chief looked at him with murderous gaze and started beating Washfield with his cane.

" You dimwit, have you forgotten that the which family sponsors this hospital and you just offend a member of that family, your fired. Fired I tell you ! "

" What, no chief you can't do this to me.. I have a contract "

" You and the contract can kiss this hospital's ass goodbye security "

And so Washfield wad dragged out of the hospital by security.

I turned to Regina parents

" Don't worry, you daughter is in good hands now "

Regina sister was prepared for operation and we all stood in the waiting area. Her parents seem to be nervous.

" Roselina, just who are you? "

Regina ask.

" Don't worry, you know soon enough "

I said.

" Your different "

" What do you mean? "

" I've seen many rich kids who were thought they could get anything they wanted, they didn't want to be friends with us poor people, but your different, your not spoiled "

Regina said.

" Have you ever heard the saying " What's wealth and power if you don't have someone to share it with "...Even thought it's been a week since I went to school but your the first person who acknowledge me as a friend "

I said.

Soon after the doctor came out.

" Doctor how is she? "

Ask Regina's mother.

" The operation was a success, your daughter is now safe "

The doctor said.

They were glad, watching the parents cried tear of joy for their daughters recovery, Maybe it could make up for the guilt I had when I died leaving my mother in so much pain and grief.

" Let's go Diane "

I turned and walked away.

" Wait, Young lady, thank you so much for everything you've done for us "

Said the father, I turned my head to him and smiled.

" It was my pleasure "

We left and returned to the car.

" I'm sorry but I have to return to the office lady Roselina "

Diane said.

" Sure, no problem "

Later that night I sat on a stool at the kitchen counter reading all the letters that were piled up in my locker.

" Roses are red, violets are blue , Rose is your name, This rose is my love for you... Awe that's so sweet....LIKE HELL IT IS !"

I crush the letter and throw in the bin of the kitchen.

" These love letters are so dumb "

I took a sip of win as I read the next one.

[Dear roselina,

It's been a week but my feelings for you have grown as large as the world, words can't express how much I am in love with you, from your long silky white hair to the tip of your toes.. I want you to be mine, let's bask in the glory of our love

Richardo James, class 3 B ]

I instantly set the letter on fire that burned nothing by my crimson flames. I'm don't know if I should be angry at the *ssholes who wrote it or feel dumb because I'm reading them.

" Viper "

" Yes "

She appeared in the room out often shadow near the table.

" Have you found out anything about that stalker? "

I ask.

" It was a teacher at the school, He teaches math to the second years, there have been complaints been made against him for stalking and sexual harassing students "

Viper said.

" What did you do to him? "

" I planted incriminating evidence against him, he was arrested at his house by the police a few minutes ago. "

" Okay, that's good "

Suddenly Kelly and Diane arrived in the kitchen

" Are these love letters? "

Kelly ask as she took up one and looked at it.

" So many "

Diane and Kelly looked through them.

" I knew this would happen, It's a good thing I ask the principal to keep you safe "

Kelly said.

" Tch, as if I need saving.. By the way, I invited a friend over "

I said.

" Is it a girl ?"

" Uhm yes "

Kelly's expression changed from a serious to a smile .

"Then she's more than welcome to come over . is it the friend you help today "

She ask.

I nod.

" It's good you made a friend, you can blend in human society even more "

Kelly wrapped her hand around my shoulder.

" I want you to have the best life you ever dreamed of, that's why I started the company, to give you everything you need "

She said.

" Thanks but what I wanted is already in my possession."

" And what's that?

" Immortality "

I clenched my fist.

" the power to live forever, "

I said.

" But living forever isn't a good thing, even I thought about killing myself when you and silvia left"

Kelly said.

" I know, but that's if you don't have someone to live for. I live for you guys and that's all that matters "

I said as I got off the stool.

" I'm going to bed, "

" Right "

The next day was Friday, the last school day for this week.

I stood in the bathroom washing my hands. Regina didn't come to school today because she wanted to stay at the hospital with her sister. I stopped washing my hand and looked in the mirror as Debra was standing behind me, her hair covered her face again and the hairpin I gave her is missing. I was suprised to see her hand was bruised so I turned to her.

" What happened to her hand and where is the hair pin I have you? "

I ask.

" I...i lost it and bruised myself looking for it, are you mad? "

Debra ask.

I smile and lift up my hand to pat her head.

" Don't worry about that pin "

She was silent, I know she has been abused. I can see the swelling her body.

" Why don't you spend the weekend at my house, sounds good ?"

I said.

" Your house ? "

" Yes, as I said before, I'm interest in you. Your precious, it would be a waste if I let someone like you go...I'll pick you up near the school okay "

She nods to me

I smiled.

" Good, I'll see you there "
