RISING FROM THE ASHES

THE DECISION

Mr. Collins sighed, overwhelmed by sadness. This was a company he had struggled to build and now he was going to lose everything just like that all because of his callousness.

If he had known Davis knew Solomon, he would not have dared to fire him, let alone withhold his salary. He would be more than happy to welcome him as Davis could make Solomon's patronize his company but alas, it was too late.

After taking a deep breath, he spoke, "You can buy it for a dollar." As he said that, he felt like all his strength had been drained.

"Good choice." Davis said with a smile and immediately sent a text message on his phone.

"Solomon will be here to handle things." Davis said as he left the office. Since the company was his now, he didn't return the delivery bike. He simply rode it directly to a hospital.

The moment he arrived, he immediately walk into a particular ward, but to his surprise, it was empty. A surge of panic immediately entered his body as he hurriedly rushed to the doctor's office.

Without hesitation, he pushed the door open. Anger filling his bones as he roared.

"Doctor, where is my my aunt? I said I would find the money needed and yet you still kicked her out."

Most people in the Logan family did not know that Scarlet's great aunt saving his life was not the main reason Davis married Scarlet.

Scarlet's great aunt wanted Davis to marry Scarlet but he refused. Even though, he was grateful for her saving his life, he had no intention of just getting married.

However, when he was younger, there was a woman who had taken care of him, he usually called her Aunt Rebecca, she had no children and took him like her own child, she was not wealthy but she did her best to provide for Davis, even to the extent of starving herself so he could eat and Davis never forgot this.

Three years ago, Aunt Rebecca fell seriously sick and Davis struggled to find the money for her treatment but he couldn't, so he had no choice but to turn to Scarlet's great aunt who proposed a condition to him which was getting married to Scarlet and in return she would handle the hospital bills. Having no other option, Davis agreed without hesitation.

But few months later when Scarlet's great aunt died, the Logan family immediately stopped their assistance towards Aunt Rebecca. Davis had seriously begged for their help but they refused to.

The doctor, a chubby man with glasses immediately got angry seeing Davis barge into his office and shout at him. Even though, he was not from a top family, he was a well respected doctor and only a few people had the right to shout at him.

"How dare you barge into my office, young man? Are you looking for death?"

The doctor wasted no time in calling the security guards. The hospital was a top hospital and few people dared to cause trouble making the security guards free from their jobs. Hearing that a nobody was causing trouble made them angry and disturbed their peace. They came in full momentum to the doctor's office.

Seeing the doctor and just a young man there, they immediately deduced that the young man was the troublemaker and surrounded him.

Davis frowned, "Doctor, if anything happens to my aunt or even a hair of my head is touched. I, Davis Gardner, will make sure this hospital is shut down"

Davis was already sending a text to Solomon and just as the security guards were about to deal with him, the doctor as if he had just realized something immediately shouted with a look of fear, "Let him go quickly!"

The security guards paused, confused and unsure of what was happening.

Seeing, it wasn't too late, the doctor let out a sigh of relief as he said to the security guards, "Don't worry, there's no issue, I was thinking this young man was someone who had troubled me before, I just looked at him and he's not the one."

Although, the security guards didn't fully believe it but they were not needed here anymore so they left.

Once they left the office, the Doctor couldn't help but thank his stars, his back had been covered with sweat and he was very lucky the security guards had not already acted.

The doctor immediately bowed to Davis and said humbly, "I'm really sorry Mr. Gardner. I had no idea it was you. Please forgive my impudence."

Although, the Doctor didn't know Davis real identity, his superior had personally come to the hospital and transferred Aunt Rebecca to a VIP ward and also instructed him to treat any young man with the name Davis Gardner with the utmost respect.

Someone whom his own superior respected was someone he dared not offend.

"So, you're saying my Aunt is in the VIP ward?" Davis, asked.

The doctor nodded hurriedly, "Yes, she's there. We made sure to upgrade everything related to her, she has constant and 24/7 care, a private chef. She's in good hands, sir. I can take you there right away."

Hearing all this, Davis immediately thought of Solomon, he must have definitely arranged this. He had also paid the bills and advance payments.

Previously, the bills Davis had been paying was to take care of her and some medicines to prevent her illness from getting worse but with everything handled now, she would be getting surgery directly and won't need to stay in the hospital for too long again.

Davis was not too surprised that Solomon had known about her because the Gardner family had been watching and even if they had not bee watching him, with their power, there was no information they couldn't find.

Davis was led by the doctor to the VIP ward, however, Aunt Rebecca was asleep. After making sure, she was okay, he left the hospital.

He wanted to go see Solomon but he decided to return home first. Last night, he had slept at Aunt Rebecca's place which was outside the city.

Afterall the twist and turns for that day, Davis began to reminisce on the incidence that had started it all. Scarlet cheating on him.
