The Despised Son-in-law Is A Mafia Boss

Chapter 6

Mason's mouth hung low in disbelief.

"A thousand dollars for deposit?" He repeated the nurse's words to make sure he got the right answer.

The nurse nodded, an impatient look on her face.

"Sir, I suggest you make the Payment before it's too late to save your sister." She added with distaste. Upon closer look at the man's choice of clothes which were old and obviously overwashed coupled with his reaction upon mentioning the deposit, the nurses attitude towards him changed as she looked at him with disdain.

Just when Mason wanted to open his mouth and clarify the relationship he had with the patient, a voice so cold that it made him shiver resonated in the hallway.

"Since when did a mere nurse of Hope's hospital have the right to dictate when the young miss of the Smith family gets to be treated or not?"

Mason turned to look at the direction of the voice. An old Man accompanied by almost ten bodyguards dressed in black marched to the hospital. The look on their faces was enough to intimidate someone and the nurse was no option. Her eyes widened and she immediately slumped on the floor making Mason wonder how terrifying the man who just approached was.

"It's great to finally meet you, Young master." The man said, bowing slightly to Mason who was wearing a confused look on his face.

Turning around, he tried spotting another person behind him who the old man could be referring to only to be met by nobody else.

"Are you talking to me?" Mason gathered the confidence to ask even when he felt how ridiculous his question was.

I mean like how can he be the Young master the powerful man is talking about?

That was impossible. He's a nobody, a street dog with no home or family just like his in-laws always called him.

"Yes, Young master. We have been looking for you for all those years. Everybody believed that you were dead but your sister, the Young Miss, has always insisted that you are alive. I can't believe the two of you have reunited under such circumstances." The man said, relief and happiness painted on his old and wrinkled face.

"Now, I can face my friend with no regrets." The old man said, looking at Mason with tears which Mason interpreted as tears of happiness.

But whatever tale he was giving Mason was not something he could understand or even relate. Mason could tell that the man must be joking, playing a dirty trick on him or if not, he must have mistaken him for someone else.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand a thing you are saying. I already brought the Young lady to the hospital so I'm leaving." Mason announced, taking his leave.

He wasn't interested in their stupid prank nor did he want to be involved in some rich family drama. The Huttons family was already enough for him. He didn't want another rich family drama in his life.

The men in black were about to stop him but the old man signalled to let him go.

Mason flashed the old man a grateful smile before making his way out of the hospital.

He still had to walk home and do all the chores so he didn't want to waste time lingering around.

Since he had already saved the young lady and brought her to the hospital, the rest would be left upon her family to handle.

There's nothing more he could do for her. He can't afford the money needed for payment even if he exhausted all his savings for the past years. Infact, his savings were barely an eighth of the total amount needed.

He knew that he had to get home early before he got another round of scolding from his wife and mother in-law. Who knows what they'll do to him this time? Who knows what methods they would adopt to torture him if he made a mistake.

After wasting almost an hour with the whole fiasco about the lady, he was already running late.

*********

The men in black watched as the man they had been searching for years walked away and disappeared in the Streets.

They could not believe that their Capo was still alive.

After failing to rescue him, they have lived in the past years looking for him.

They were the trusted elite group tasked with finding the young master of the Smith family, dead or alive. After years of searching, they almost gave up until their young miss reported that he had spotted a wedding picture of who appeared to be the lost Young Master. They had then headed here to Los Angeles to look for him, which happens to be the same City the young master was spotted at during his last mission before he was attacked by their enemies.

"Are we really going to let him go? Just like that, after searching for him all over the world?" One man asked the old man. He was happy and at the same time worried that if they lost sight of the young master, they might never see him again.

"Of Course not but you can't force him to accept that he's truly the person we have been looking at. Five people should follow him secretly. You should ensure that you protect him and report everything to me. Where he is going? Where he is staying? What he is doing? Who he stays with? Guard him with all your life. We don't Know who are after the life of the young miss. They might also try getting rid of the Young master. We just found him and he's yet to reunite with his family. We can't let anything happen to him. I'll report this matter to the leader." The old man Instructed and a group of five men left to carry out the orders.

The old man then proceeded to make a call, informing the other side of the new development before leaving to the emergency ward holding the lady Mason rushed to the hospital.
