Chapter 234 This Guy Must Be Pretending
When Jack got back to his villa that evening, he was all smiles. He had just gotten an idea and this idea would require the military\'s intervention. But, that was something that would be coming up later.
The darkness had already began descending alongside a light drizzle of the rain. It seemed that after a long time of no rain, the rains were planning on coming back soon as autumn zoomed in.
As he sat in front of the dining table, Jack\'s smile never left his face at all. Even as he ate, he maintained this smile. He was simply thinking about the big earnings that he had gotten on that day.
To say the least, he had earned big. He had already began using the system to the maximum limit that he could see. And due to that, he had managed to acquire some important things.
First off, he took out his phone to check his bank balance. He hadn\'t checked his balance for a period of time now. Although he had been spending, he had also been earning a lot due to the system\'s aid by multiplying whatever he had gotten by a hundred.
[Flyers Bank Savings Account Balance is $280,611,974,922.]
Jack took a deep breath. He was now having a lot of money laying in his account. It was finally time for him to spend the money to earn even more. Furthermore, the more that he spent, the more the chances of him getting the first income reward from the system.
In other words, he had to set up several businesses so that he could earn more. There were projects that he could carry out as well. But, everything was supposed to be taken step by step.
Another thing that he had earned during the day\'s trip was the free skill slot that he had received from the system. He now had accumulated three chances that he could use to get any skill that was to his taste.
But, all of this had to wait because Jack had the intention of getting the skills at their most powerful level. And for that to happen, he would have to remain patient and only use the skill slots when it was a must do.
Then the last thing that he had gotten was the military rank. He had joined the military and had gained not only its protection, but also the authority.
The protection that he was mentioning came in from the fact that, he could now stop any police officer from arresting him. In other words, even if he went ahead and beat up a few ruffians that were causing trouble for him, there would be no issue.
This had already made things easy for him as his training schedule for Celine demanded a lot of fights so that she could gain all the required experience.
And although the fights were not the life and death ones, Jack thought that it wasn\'t bad for her to acquire the basic fighting experience where there was a risk of getting injured.
In this way, she could hone her fighting instincts alongside her fighting techniques. So, this was something that made Jack\'s smile not fade away for a good while.
Once he was done with his supper, Jack decided that he would be resting early. So, after taking a shower, he went to bed and slept.
…
Collins was still in the hospital ward. It had been a while since he last saw his parents. They hadn\'t called or done anything as of lately. This had made him frown because this was something that had never happened before.
From the fact that he was their only progeny, his father and mother were always there for him when he needed them. But now, it had already been a week since they last met.
He had already began feeling uneasy at the moment. Although his recovery was progressing well and this was what he had been looking forward to due to the fact that he wanted to get his revenge, he was now hoping that the recovery would take a while longer than this.
He himself had already been in this ward for two weeks already. With the high intensity care from the doctors added with the current level of technology, they had managed to stabilize his condition thereby making sure that he would recover.
But, there was something that would remain, and that was the fact that he would remain a person who cannot have children. After all, the injury that Jack had placed on him was not easy to be healed.
Now, he knew that the moment that the doctor stated that he was in a good condition, he would be taken to court. This was something that he could tell from the fact that the police officers were still present just outside his door.
According to his previous estimations, his parents were supposed to have already dealt with whatever case was filed against him. Since the kidnapping and attempted r*pe were not broadcasted in the news, he didn\'t think that it would be hard for his father to deal with the evidence.
So, he should have been left free the day that his parents were allowed to see him. But now, not only had they disappeared without any information, but they didn\'t do anything at all.
\'What is going on? Could it be that they decided that it was not worth it to continue helping me out of the situation? But, that doesn\'t make any sense at all. After all, I\'m their only child, their future.\' Collins started thinking.
\'Or could it be that they have decided to abandon me because I can no longer have children till a solution is found? If that\'s the case, then I\'m going to make sure that I kill that son of a b*tch and his b*tch! Even if I go to jail after that, I would have already taken my revenge on them.\'
Creak!
At this moment, the door of the ward opened and a doctor wearing the normal white coat entered the room. In her hands was a file that Collins remembered all so well. This was the file that was used to monitor his recovery progress.
The doctor looked at Collins and greeted. "How are you doing today?"
Collins was brought out of his reverie as he looked at the female doctor in front of him. She was a beauty, a mature one. And, of course, Collins\' lustful side kicked in as he ogled at the doctor.
His undisguised gaze made the doctor frown. She gave up on asking about his condition and went straight to the point that had brought her here. She had been trying to keep up with Collins behavior of ogling at her for a few days now, but she couldn\'t take it anymore.
"From your silence, I can tell that you are finally okay and ready to be discharged from the hospital. You don\'t have to worry about the bills and so on because they have already been paid. So, you can be free to leave after you change from the ward clothes. Have a nice trip home." The doctor stated.
Immediately after she was done, she turned away from Collins and headed for the door.
The doctor\'s words brought Collins from his stupor. The moment that he recalled what the doctor had just said, he immediately felt that his world was crumbling.
He rushed to get out of bed but he injured himself in the process. He was still not yet fully healed as he still had to stay here for a while more, about two weeks more to be precise.
He groaned in pain. But, he managed to get a hold of himself as he shouted at the doctor who was already at the door. "Doctor, I\'m not okay at all. I still need more time to recover!"
But, no matter how hard he shouted, the doctor ignored him as she turned towards the two officers that were standing by the door and spoke.
"I have confirmed that the patient is in a good condition. So, I\'m going to discharge him from the hospital today."
The officers turned towards her before they looked into the room where Collins was staggering towards the door. Then, they cast a gaze at the doctor with raised brows.
"Are you sure that he is already in a good condition? From the way that he is walking, he seems not well." One of the police officers spoke.
"Don\'t worry about that. This guy must be pretending that he is not healed yet so that we can delay taking him to face the charges that are placed against him. Do you think that a doctor would make a mistake?" The other officer spoke. He was the one that had chased Collins\' parents the other time a week ago.
"Ah, that should be the case." The other officer also thought that this was the case. So, he nodded at the doctor and said, "Thank you doctor. Just go through the required procedures so that he can be discharged. We will take him away immediately after that."
