Chapter 54: Dasky

Even with her bloodshot eyes, she still looked extremely adorable, tears rolled down Diana's eyes, as she watched her grandfather lay motionlessly on the bed, Regan patted her back.

Mr. Henson and Mrs. Henson realized Diana has gone to do a surgical operation, the both of them frowned, knowing she will be a stumbling block to their smooth take-over of the company

“Diana, you are such unfilial child, how can you get rid of the only thing that reminds you of your parents, why?” she decried.

Diana ignored what she said, and faced her grandfather, she stepped forward and close in on the body of the Old Westley lay on the bed.

Olivier regaining her senses “Diana, didn't you hear my mother,

you don't have any shame at all, you got rid of the only thing that held the memory of your parents, for this gigolo” she also joined her mother and reprimanded Diana.

Regan acted like she wasn't referring to him, their action of ignoring them infuriated the family of four “Dad, the presence of this gigolo here is insulting to my late father's corpse, I will have to kick him out, only family is allowed in here”

Mikael spoke righteously, Mr. Henson was pleased with his son, from differentiating what is right and wrong on his terms.

He patted his back “of course, you are right son, but make it as quiet as possible so that we won't trouble your grandfather” he permitted his son, to go ahead.

Diana, after mumbling to his father's corpse, turned around with bloodshot eyes, and shot them a glare, the family of four shuddered from the intense gaze.

Even Philip felt pressure, but he maintained a big smile on his face, and tried as much to disassociate himself from the family of four.

Mr. Henson spoke up as the self-appointed helmsman of the family, “Diana, you left the mansion without being permitted,

that is against our family rules, well, if the Old Westley is magnanimous not to punish you, I won't also, come home with us, we are all family, we belong together” he coaxed her.

Olivier was unsettled when he heard his father proposing that Diana should return home, but when her mother winked at her, she maintained her cool.

Mrs. Henson commented “Diana, your uncle is right, we are family, our home won't be happy if we lose anyone again” she said.

Mikael spoke tougher “we shouldn't be begging her, she is a Westley, and she belongs to the Westley, Diana, quick, come home with us, we will be burying grandfather soon”

Diana silently walked out of the room, without saying a word, Regan followed her out.

“Mother, I think Diana will not willingly give in, why don't we force her, we can't take chances” he revealed their worries.

Mr. Henson became tense when her son revealed the secret, “what nonsense are you spouting? Keep shut, if you don't know how to speak about this matter, don't you know Diana is the first daughter of the Westley?”

Mikael felt wrong and wanted to speak, but got pinch by his sister, he closed his mouth, and scratched his head ruefully.

Philip looked at them knowingly, and realized something is wrong, and the family is concealing it from him “Mother, you shouldn't use harsh words on him, we are family”

Mrs. Henson smiled warily “of course we are family” she asserted, but in regard to the status of Philip as a son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Henson with their daughter Olivier are all wary of his antics, except Mikael who is just loudmouthed.

Regan and Diana returned to her ward, a nurse came in carrying a folder “Miss Westley, the doctor said I should inform you that you can go home, if you want to” she informed her.

Diana nodded, but she has many things in her mind that she doesn't want to think about, her uncle and her family especially, and all the shares that the Old Westley gave to her.

She is automatically the owner of the family chains of commerce “I will be leaving, Diana” he heard Regan said, her heart raced and beat wildly, worry creased her face “where?” she asked holding her breath.

Regan saw that she is tense over what he said, he held her palms into his, and looked at her longingly “I will come back for you, I can't stay on Earth for long” he replied.

Diana knew this day will come, but she wasn't expecting it to be soon, even before she could face her family “when are you leaving?” she inquired tentatively.

He brought out a mechanical watch from his pocket, “midnight” he responded, and Diana felt like all the airs in her lungs evaporated.

She embraced him tightly, the urge to enmesh and make him part of her intensified, she is very intensified of loosing him.

“Let's go out, you will feel better, I am not leaving now” he told her, to get rid of her fear, she nodded.

Regan stepped out, and waited for her, she came out later looking extremely gorgeous, almost knocking the breath out of him.

He smiled gently “you are beautiful” he complimented, she clutched her gown and replied smilingly “thank you.”

He took her hand and the both of them headed out of the hospital lobby, “Oh, my God, Dasky!" someone in the hospital lobby gasped in shock.

Her uproar alerted some few people in the hospital lobby, soon they gathered around her “Dasky, I am your fan, please sign an autograph”

Diana cringed inwardly, she wasn't expecting her presence to 'cause such an uproar in public after staying out of the limelight for long.

“My daughter is sick, she is a big fan of yours, can you sign an autograph too, she will feel better if you can visit her” a lady requested?

After handling the few enthusiastic fans with the hospital management, she exhaled in relief “you can't go out like this" Regan pointed out, the City will boil if she goes out in the open without concealing herself.

Some paparazzi were already lurking in the hospital premises, to get some hot scoops from her.
