Useless?! Ha! I Get $10,000,000 For Face-Slapping!

001: Hopeless

"Get lost! We can't save your daughter if you won't pay up the money!" The harsh voice of the male doctor echoed through the hospital's hallway.

Dylan was kneeling down shameless before the doctor, begging. His 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was battling for her life.

She needed immediate operation to get better. But because Dylan was too poor to make the payment for the treatment, the doctor has strictly refused to attend to him.

"Please save her" Dylan cried "I'll work hard to get the money and pay! I'll even pay double with interest! I just don't have that amount now. So please save my daughter before she dies!"

But the doctor didn't care "Get lost! I know the ways of you poor useless people!" He kicked Dylan who clung to his feet.

"You just waste our time and energy and end up not paying! If you can't afford this, why bring her to a hospital?! Just let her die since you're poor!"

"Please.. save her, please" Dylan could only get up on his knees and continue begging. He couldn't argue over the insults he got.

He was poor. At the bottom of the power pyramid. So this was his fate. He needed his daughter saved.

But the doctor continued raining insults on him. Dylan didn't know how to face his mother and sister who were in the hospital room with her sick daughter.

He didn't know how to survive if he lost his only daughter!

Be begged endlessly in tears as the doctor kicked him off again, disgusted "I've already told you! Get lost!"

"I'll give you a last warning! If you can't pay up before tomorrow morning, I'll send your daughter out of my hospital!" He said firmly as he turned and walked off.

Dylan sat down on the floor there, looking shattered and dejected.

He knew he had to do something to save his daughter. So he got up and left to speak to his wife about this urgent matter; He believed she would be instantly worried sick and find a solution for them.

******

Dylan was married to Emily Thorn. They've been married for 7 years now and had a daughter who was 5 years old.

Emily was from a middle class family while he was from a lower class family. Both her and Emily Thorn worked for one of the most powerful families in this Province - The Maxwell Family.

After the Governor Family, The Walter Family, The Maxwell Family were the second in rank. But it's clear that these two families could rival in terms of power.

While Emily worked as a staff in the Maxwell's Family's company, Dylan worked as a mere cleaner for their family.

That night, The Maxwell Family was hosting a Grand Event where all high profile people attended - Including the Governor's Family - The Walters.

And Emily had attended this grand event as a staff invited by her Boss, The Maxwell's Son - Oliver Maxwell.

Dylan had arrived at the venue but the security men forbade him from entering. He was looking so shabby and unkept that they threw him away from the entrance.

They didn't even let him in when he said he was a cleaner there.

"Get lost! Does this look like a place for poor beggars?! Go beg somewhere else!"

It was urgent for Dylan. He was desperate. So he found a way to sneak in through the back door.

The hall was truly filled with high profile men and women in suits and classy expensive clothes. Compared to them, Dylan looked like a beggar in rags.

But he didn't care. Dylan made his way through and found his boss, Mr Maxwell. He rushed up to Mr Maxwell and began pleading with him.

He explained his situation to him and cried "... please I've worked for you for years. Cleaning diligently. Please help save my dying daughter, I promise I'll pay back in double and continue working for you for years!"

But Mr Maxwell and his rich colleagues gave Dylan a disgusted look.

"And who the hell are you? Who let this beggar in here??" Mr Maxwell questioned as his friends scuffed, covering their noses.

Dylan continued to beg as Mr Maxwell said "I don't care about your stupid life. I'm not your poor lazy useless parents who didn't give you money"

He added "So get lost from my sight and deal with your stupid issue. I don't care if your daughter dies! Get lost, your sight is disgusting to me!"

"Please..." Dylan persisted, begging as he went down to his knees and held onto Mr Maxwell's leg. But he kicked him off.

Some people were watching and laughing at this scene. But not everyone.

"You're ruining my expensive clothes! Do you even know how much it is?! I can't even buy a portion of it if I sell you!"

Mr Maxwell added "Someone get this trash out of my way. I hate dirty poor beggars"

Dylan was devastated. He couldn't believe after years of working for Mr Maxwell even though he paid him so low, Mr Maxwell didn't even give him a listening ear.

Before the security men could come, Dylan got up and took off to look for his wife.

Mr Maxwell and his friends laughed at the pathetic sight and continued enjoying their drinks while chatting.

Dylan believed his wife would definitely find some solution or at least have some money. She was working at a better spot after all. And she would definitely be worried about their only daughter.

Dylan looked and asked around for where his wife, Emily could be. And he was directed to a bedroom.

And as Dylan stormed into the room, he was baffled at the sight.

He saw his wife, Emily and her boss, Oliver Maxwell in bed together, half naked and engaged in a steamy moment of sex.

The two of them were moaning their names out loud while enjoying themselves in bed. And for a minute, Dylan stood there watching them.

He felt betrayed in all possible ways and was utterly shattered. His wife whom he had loved for years was here in bed with another man making out while their daughter was dying in the hospital!

"Emily..." Dylan said as the two of them stopped and turned to stare at the shocked expression on Dylan's face.
