235 Collins' Despair
The doctor who was about to regret what she had done finally calmed down. From the way that the two officers were behaving, it was obvious that they didn't care about Collins' condition at all.
This put her at ease. So, she smiled at them before she nodded and left. She had to get rid of Collins as fast as possible.
Collins on the other hand was despairing. What did he just see? He was still not healed but they were claiming that he was good to go? He was pretending? This was not how it was!
"I really am still not yet in a good condition! I still need a month, no, I mean a year before I can finally get back into a good condition!" Collins shouted in a panicked voice.
But, his words earned him a glare from the two officers. Now, they were sure that Collins was pretending. After all, according to the doctor, there were supposed to be only two weeks at most that remained for Collins to recover enough to be taken to court.
But it seemed that they had underestimated Collins' recovery speed as he had recovered earlier than the time that he was supposed to. And now that he was claiming that he still needed a year more, it was obvious that he was trying to dodge the case that was upon him.
Collins was trying to get out of the room to chase after the doctor. He still had to make sure that the doctor said that he wasn't healed yet. Otherwise, he was going to have to leave the hospital in pain and at the same time, he would have to go to court without even meeting his parents.
And without his parents' support, he would be sent to prison, that was for sure. But, he wasn't willing to go there without even doing his own revenge. That was just unacceptable to him.
But the moment that he stepped out of the room, the two officers blocked his way. "You are not allowed to leave this ward. Otherwise, the moment that you try doing so, we will consider you trying to escape." One of the officers spoke.
The two of them had been here for a whole two weeks. Although they were only there during the day shift, they also got bored by staying there for a long time. They were people who were used to venturing around the city during their time of duty.
But now that they had been given a single place to take care of for whole two weeks, they couldn't let go of a chance that would allow them to get out of here. They would rather be given the duty of going after the ruffians in the streets, rather than standing idle at the door.
Yes, they had been standing out there for several hours, just to keep watch over Collins. This had bored them to a bigger extent that they wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. To say the least, they were tired.
Collins on the other hand couldn't accept the results that was before him. He waved his arms around wildly as he shouted, "This is not acceptable. I am not in a good condition to go out yet!"
"Aren't you the one who's forcing himself out of the ward?" An officer asked in return.
"But they want to discharge me out of the hospital!" Collins roared back.
"But you are trying to get out of the ward earlier than your supposed to. This in itself shows that the doctor's decision is correct. So, young man, better get back into the room before we force you. And don't try pretending that you're still not healed after 2 weeks." The officer retorted with a sharp tone.
In the end, Collins was forced to remain inside until he was finally discharged after about 30 minutes. And the moment that the doctor gave the documents that showed that Collins had been discharged from the hospital, the two officers smiled widely as they carried Collins like a sack of lifesaving potatoes.
Since the guy was 'pretending' to be injured, the two officers didn't mind and carried him out of the hospital. They thought that this was a small price for them to pay as long as they were going to be freed from the duty that had been placed on them.
When they got out of the hospital, they got into a car that was waiting there for them already. They had previously contacted their superiors to inform them that the suspect had already been discharged from the hospital and was ready to be taken away.
Without wasting much time, they shoved Collins into the back of the car and followed him in. The car was immediately driven away a moment later.
Although Collins was still resisting, there was nothing that he could do to compete against the two police officers. And soon, he was inside the police station where he was detained to await for his court hearing.
…
The following day, he finally got someone to visit him. This person who was the lawyer that had been handling his family cases all this while. He was hired by his father to take care of his cases in case there was one.
"It is a good thing that you are here Raphael. I have been waiting for a long time now. Get me out of this cell. And where the heck is my father and mother?" Collins began shouting frantically as he looked at the lawyer who had just arrived outside his cell.
Raphael was currently wearing a suit. But from the looks of it, the suit was quite dirty. It seems that he had been wearing the same suit for at least 2 days. His hair was messed up. His eyes had dark spots below them.
This was another indication that he had not gotten enough rest for a long period of time. In other words, he was currently worn out.
The moment that he heard Collins' words, his frustrations welled up. He slammed his fist on the bars of the cell as he shouted at Collins. "Who the f*ck do you think you are? Do you think that I'm here because I like it? Humph, you better not try talking to me as if I'm your subordinate anymore.
I'm only here to inform you that your parents have been arrested. And they should be up in court at the same time as you. All the businesses under your father have been either sold off or have gone bankrupt. In other words, you are completely poor, even a beggar is better than you.
This is the last thing that I'm going to do, I am informing you about your parents current situation because I'm grateful to whatever your family did for me. But that ends now because I have already done enough.
This should be enough to repay for whatever you did for me. So don't come looking for me in the future because we are done." Raphael finished his ranting, completely ignoring the pain that he was feeling due to how hard he had punched the cell's bar.
The moment that he finished saying whatever he had in mind, he turned away and left. He completely ignored Collins whose eyes were currently almost lifeless.
And true, Collins cared nonetheless that the lawyer had left. He was just thinking about what he had been informed. He was wondering what really happened when he was in the hospital. His family had gone bankrupt? Several businesses under his father had been sold?
This was completely illogical to him. Even though he was not that serious with the family business, that didn't mean that he was completely clueless about it. He knew the situation of the family business before he was hospitalized.
Instead of going bankrupt, the businesses that were under his father were supposed to be blooming right now. After all, his father had many connections that he could utilize to continue making sure that he soared at greater heights than the ones that he was currently in.
But now, he had just been informed that all the businesses under his father were gone. Either sold or gone bankrupt. His father and mother were supposed to be in court at the same time as him.
And to make matters worse, there was a fact that his family was currently poor. And knowing the information about bankruptcy, this was a situation where a business brought heavy debts on the person who was owning the business.
That meant that his family currently had several debts that were supposed to be paid off. It was no wonder that Raphael had said that even a beggar was better than them.
At this moment, Collins was experiencing more than just despair. He didn't know what to do or what to say. He could only sit on the floor as he stared at the entrance of the cell that he was locked in blankly.
But what he didn't know was the fact that he was the real cause behind whatever his family had undergone. Had he not made his moves towards Celine, and incurred Jack's anger, perhaps his family might have been prospering the way that it usually was.
At the end of the day, he had nobody to blame other than himself and the lust that he had. He failed to control it and it had cost him a lot. A price that he was going to pay for the rest of his life.
Perhaps in his reincarnation if there was, perhaps he would remember not to dare to do whatever he did on that specific night.
