Chapter 30: The Proposal

Diana and Olivier watched her sister and her assistant scurried away, towards the back door.

The receptionist at the counter, quickly sneaked out of her position, to avoid getting fired by the senior doctor.

The senior doctor arrived at the waiting room area, and saw the crowd, he was called by the hospital management to handle the issues, because of his reputation with the Westley.

He arrived at the receptionist arena, and saw Diana with Regan, he was the one who tried Diana, but she refused surgery, just to mourn her parents.

“Diana, what happened here? Why is there a crowd?” he asked, feigning ignorance of the report texted to him.

Diana exhaled in relief “Doctor Luke, your receptionist is very rude, I wanted to see my father, but she refused to grant me my request” she responded.

Doctor Luke was surprise to hear that from Diana, he looked towards and find no one there, “where is she?” he asked.

Diana all these while didn't notice, she opened and closed her mouth without saying a word “I will look into that Diana, she will be disciplined, come, let me take your grandfather” he volunteered.

He led Diana, and Regan who is with her, towards the private elevator “is he your boyfriend” Doctor Luke asked, Diana blushed without saying a word.

The crowds were doubting Diana's high status, the conversation and how Doctor Luke humbly addressed her clear their doubts, it 'caused an uproar because the rumor that went round then, was that, Diana was a very rude lady.

They arrived at the private ward of Old Westley, Doctor Luke led them in, the Old Westley was on drip, and his face pale.

Diana's heart moved at the sight of her father “Dad, what happened to you?” she asked, her eyes teared up, the sick man had a big smile on his face, the moment he saw his grandchild.

“Diana, is that you, I am so happy you came to see, papa” he said, and embraced his daughter.

Regan stepped out of the ward, and headed out, giving the father and daughter privacy, he went after Olivier and her assistant.

The trios were stuck in the underground parking lot, the press have heard of the commotion, and were at the hospital premises, at the gate, to have more scooping headlines.

Olivier stiffened when her phone started ringing, she looked at the screen and had a bad premonition “Olivier, pick it up, it is your father” her assistant told her.

She shot her a glare, she immediately shut her mouth, afraid of upsetting Olivier, she picked the call.

They didn't notice, Regan was close to the car “Hello, Olivier, what have you done? Come home quickly” she heard her father said from the phone's speaker.

The call ended abruptly, Olivier pursed her lips tightly, sensing danger, “I think this car is moving” Olivier's assistant said.

Olivier stared at the car dashboard, and then, her legs, she stared at her assistant confused, and felt the push as well.

“Someone is trying to push us out of the hospital basement” Olivier's assistant said.

“What the fuck!” she lamented, and tried to get down, but the car door refused to give away, the car started moving faster, Regan pushed them out of the underneath parking lot.

The media team, lurking around, sighted Olivier's car, and they quickly pounced on her “quick, start the car” Olivier yelled at her assistant.

She turned the ignition, but the car refused to start, Regan returned to the ward, Diana face was stain with tears, and she was crouching to a file.

He came to her side, and Diana embraced him warmly “he is dying, Regan, my grandpa is dying” she said, feeling sad.

Regan patted her back without saying a word, the doctor emerged from the ward “Diana, I think it is time, you have to go under the knife” he told her.

Diana broke the embrace and stared at the doctor, before turning to Regan who nodded in approval, she clenched her fist, and a glint flashed in her eyes.

“I will” she muttered two words, Doctor Luke smile.

“Great, I will book an appointment for you, tomorrow” he informed her.

Regan and the two of them took the elevator leading to the underground parking lot, he drove her out of the hospital.

The two of them could see the media teams gathered around a car, to Diana's surprise, “what is happening there?” she asked.

Regan shrugged his shoulders “never mind” he said, and drove her home, he went to where Manager Duke was, he has been screaming non-stop, frightened by the snake.

He has lost his voice, and he looked pathetic, his face pale, and his entire body covered in cold sweat, his pant was soaking with his urine.

Regan regarded all these with a big smile on his face, he took the snake, and put it back in his dimension pocket, he released Manager Duke, who slump and fell on the floor.

He shook his head, and left him there, “how is he doing?” Diana asked, her face, creased with worry.

Regan simply smiled and answered, “not bad”, Diana raised an eyebrow, Regan smiled" come with me, I want to show you something” he told her, and took her hand.

The two of them left the house, and arrived at a place where they were playing tennis.

They watched from the stand, looking at the competitors going at one another “Hey, dude, come play with us” someone requested.

The losing team on white shirt, “I would rather not play” Regan responded with a loud voice.

The team on black started mocking him, “hey dude, don't you like to join the losing team?"

“Regan, let's leave here” Diana said, and the both of them stood, and were about leaving, when one of the team player of the team wearing black, came to stand before them.

“Why are you running? It is just a game, and it doesn't matter, if you lose pretty boy” he chirped in.

His team started laughing mockery, making a joke out of nothing.
