It was already the next day, and Raymond slowly began to regain consciousness from the severe beating that he had endured at David's hands in the VIP lounge of the exclusive building.As awareness gradually returned to his battered body, the first thing Raymond could hear was the steady, rhythmic beeping of medical monitoring equipment that indicated he was in a hospital setting rather than the luxurious lounge where his last memories had taken place.Raymond's vision was still blurry and his head was pounding with intense pain, but he managed to look around the sterile hospital room with growing confusion and disorientation about how he had ended up in this medical facility.As his eyes slowly adjusted and began to focus properly, Raymond could make out familiar figures sitting near his hospital bed, and he realized with some relief that his family had been notified about his condition and had come to be with him during his recovery.There was his father, looking stern and angry as h

At that moment, just as Raymond was opening his mouth to say something in response to his father's promise of revenge against his attacker, his father immediately held up a hand to stop him from speaking.“Son, you need to focus on your recovery right now,” Raymond's father said firmly, his voice carrying the kind of paternal authority that brooked no argument. “The doctor specifically said that you need as much rest as possible to help your body heal from these severe injuries.”His tone became more insistent as he continued directing Raymond to prioritize his medical recovery over any discussions about revenge or justice. “You should take that rest immediately and not worry yourself about this situation, because I'm going to handle everything by myself.”Raymond's father's voice carried complete confidence in his ability to resolve the matter without requiring any input or assistance from his injured son. “This is not something you need to concern yourself with while you're in th

At that moment, recognizing that he now had everything he needed to begin his pursuit of justice for his son, Raymond's father wasted no time in securing the evidence Benjamin had provided.“Send this picture to me immediately,” Raymond's father commanded, his voice carrying the urgency of someone who was ready to take swift action against David.Benjamin literally complied with the request without any hesitation, quickly accessing his phone's sharing options and transferring the photograph of David directly to Raymond's father's device.The transfer completed within seconds, ensuring that Raymond's father now had permanent access to David's image and could share it with whoever he planned to involve in his revenge operation.Without saying another word or offering any further explanation to Benjamin about his next steps, Raymond's father literally turned and walked away with determined purpose, his entire demeanor showing that he was transitioning from planning mode into active execu

Hearing Nikki's explanation about bringing food to help the recovering patient and his family, David's expression softened slightly, though he didn't allow himself to smile too broadly at her thoughtful gesture.“I wasn't exactly expecting to see you here at the hospital today,” David said, his voice carrying a note of pleasant surprise at the coincidence of their meeting. “But seeing you here definitely shows that you really wanted to go the extra mile to make sure that you literally helped them during their recovery.”His tone became more appreciative as he acknowledged her kindness. “So I want to tell you thank you for being so thoughtful and caring toward people who really needed that kind of support.”At that moment, before Nikki could respond to David's words of appreciation, the old man suddenly stood up from his chair with deliberate purpose and literally bowed his head at a full 90-degree angle toward David.The elderly gentleman's posture demonstrated the kind of deep rever

At that moment, upon hearing David's definitive statement that he would not require any repayment for the substantial medical expenses, the old man was so overwhelmed with gratitude and relief that he literally dropped to his knees on the hospital floor.With his forehead pressed nearly to the ground in the deepest possible gesture of thankfulness, the elderly gentleman's voice trembled with emotion as he expressed his profound appreciation.“Thank you, thank you so much,” the old man said, his words coming out in a rush of grateful emotion. “I never knew how I was going to manage to pay back such an enormous amount of money, I never knew how I was possibly going to raise those kinds of funds given my limited means.”His voice broke slightly as he continued. “But you have lifted this terrible burden from my shoulders, and I cannot express how grateful I am. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”The old man remained kneeling on the floor, his posture showing the kind of
