Chapter 225 – Sue
Violet was getting impatient waiting for her uncle John to come out. When Violet saw that her uncle had not come out of the ward yet, she slipped off the chair and went in search of her favorite uncle, Ian. But even after searching for a while, she did not see him anywhere. A little dejected, she stopped one of the nurses who was walking by her.
"Yes, sweetie?" The nurse kneeled on one knee in front of the little girl to see what she wanted of her. "Are you lost? Where are your parents?"
"I am searching for someone. Do you know where Uncle Ian is?"
"Is he your uncle?" The nurse did not know who the girl was addressing. She assumed her to be speaking about a relative of hers.
"Yes. He is my uncle. Do you know where he is? He works here."
"Is it?" The nurse asked in surprise. "Does he work here? Is he a doctor?"
Violet nodded.
"What is his name again?"
"Ian."
Ian. The name rang a bell in the nurse's head. She realized the girl was talking about Dr. Davis. She wondered how the little girl knew Dr. Davis, but she did not ponder about it much. The girl was waiting for her answer with her big eyes. "I am sorry sweetheart. Your uncle is on leave today. He has not come to the hospital."
"Oh." The little girl looked at the nurse, her eyes tearing up a little. The nurse panicked seeing the girl cry.
"Don't cry, sweetie. Tell me where your parents are. I'll take you to them."
"I don't have any parents."
The nurse stared at the little girl flabbergasted. "Who did you come with today then?"
"My uncle."
"Which uncle? Where is he?"
"He is with my grandfather."
"Is it? Let me take you there."
The nurse held Violet's hand and stood up but before she could take another step further, she heard a commotion taking place at the reception. It was so loud that she could hear it from where she was. Though she wanted to go take a look at what was happening, she could not leave the little girl alone. She was in a fix.
"Violet," John shouted seeing her standing beside a nurse. He had been scared of not finding her when he had come out after talking to Norman. He had searched all possible places when he had found her talking to a nurse. He dashed towards her. "You scared me, dear."
"Do you know him, sweetie?" The nurse asked in caution.
Violet nodded. "He is my uncle."
"Okay then. Off you go little lady. Don't go wandering around alone okay?" The nurse scolded her strictly and Violet nodded again. "Good. Take care, dear."
The nurse then hurried to see what was happening at the reception while John took Violet with him to her grandfather's ward to say goodbye.
A huge commotion was taking place at the reception as the hospital staff was trying to curb it. Few people were shouting and hurling curses at the hospital staff as they tried to throw things around them. But the guards who were holding them were too strong. So, they could not break free from their iron stronghold. These people had no idea that they were not mere security guards but they were the people who were trained along with Noah's and Joshua's other guards.
Ian did not want some normal guards to be in charge of hospital safety. He knew how chaotic it would become sometimes when things went out of hand. Hence, he had chosen some of the people who worked for the underground to safeguard the place. The mad people tried to pry themselves out of the burly looking men. But they could not move even a finger of theirs.
The hospital administration had come to see what was happening. One of the senior-most staff stepped forward to look into the matter. "What is happening here?" He shouted. His authoritative voice boomed over the place and everything became silent at once. Everybody's gaze fell on the man who had stopped the ruckus. He was the man in charge of the hospital and it's working, Jordan Blake. To the outside world, it was he who took all the important decisions in the hospital when in reality, all the decisions would be made by Ian and he would be the one to pass it to the others. He was the only one who knew about Ian's true identity of being the owner of the hospital.
Jordan summoned one the guards towards him and enquired what the matter was. It did not take long for him to find out what had happened. A few days ago a little boy had died of a brain hemorrhage in the school bus accident incident. However, even after many days had passed nobody had come to take his body with them. After a lot of thinking, the management had decided to hand over the case to the police and they had taken the boy's dead body with them.
Now, not even a day had passed and the boy's family had come forward to claim the body. But when they had found out the truth, they had started to create a mess in the hospital. Seeing the man's posture and confident stance, the boy's family cowered a little. There was only one man among them who did not fear him. He went towards Jordan and took a thorough look at him.
"Where is our child?"
"Who are you talking about?" Jordan questioned back without blinking though he knew the answer.
"The boy who died in the school bus accident. He is our kid. Where is his body?" Seeing the man boldly question the management, the other family members too raised their voices.
"Yes, where is our boy? Give his body to us."
"Yes, yes. Where is he?"
Jordan glared at all the foolish people who had spoken blatantly. "We do not have his body. Contact the police for more information and stop creating a mess here."
"How dare you!" The man, who had started the attack again, seethed. "How dare you give away our kid's body just like that? Why didn't you ask us? You have no right to do it. I am going to sue you and this hospital."
Jordan did not even flinch on hearing the man threaten him. He was a man Ian trusted and he knew how to get things done. He folded his hands and narrowed his eyes. For a second, the man in front of him felt his heart jump out of his chest. Jordan looked scary as though he would beat the crap out of him if he did not stop his act. But the next second, he composed himself. However, Jordan's next words made him lose his composure again.
"Oh really? Then, I'll wait for orders from the court. Now get lost."
