One Night With The Billionaire

Adrian Delmark is a two time senator of Z-City. He is an honest and sincere man but highly Private. After his second tenure elapsed as a senator, he left Z-City and went for holiday for three years in Spain.

His only son was then rounding up his medical school and went to work as a housemaster in X-City. He was through with his program and immediately got hired by the hospital.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

It was only when Adrian and his wife Jane decided to return to Z-City did Richard resign and came to join them working as a consultant in general medicine at the Hudson’s hospital.

“My son,” Adrian called, standing at the penultimate stair and beaming with a megawatt smile. His hands in his pants pocket and he glared at his beautiful wife and son.

Adrian Delmark is a 52 years old man with a huge physique. He had a mix of gray and black hair on his head but looked strong and fitted like a man who had at a time been a great sportsman.

He has twinkling eyes and faint dimples when he smiles. He grew beards and his pointed nose complimented his grey hooded eye set.

“Hello Dad” Richard, standing up and going over to give a warm embrace to his father. The two men next descended the stairs and came to join Jane in the sitting room.

Jane had been involved in an accident a few months earlier and it greatly affected her spinal cord. She couldn’t stand upright herself nor could she walk without being supported by a Walker.

At the time, everyone thought she would be confined to a wheelchair but then after a series of examinations and consultations, she was able to walk little by little with the aid of a walker.

Thanks to Richard who insisted that his mother would not be confined to a wheelchair. He had consulted with his colleagues home and abroad and the positive feedback of his consultation is his mother’s present improved condition.

“How have you been lately, Richard? We couldn’t wait for you before having dinner. Are you working 12 hours now” Adrian Delmark asked.

It was at Jane’s tucking that he decided to stay awake to have a discussion with his son. It is important that he knows his intentions first before others would know.

“I’m sorry dad, it wasn’t intentional. I am not working 12 hours either. It’s my friend, she got shot wlin place of CEO Jace. She was dying and I needed to join other doctors to save her life” Richard explained.

“Oh yeah. Forgive me. I shouldn’t have asked how your boss and that woman are doing now. I saw the broadcast and I felt pity for the poor woman. Was she able to survive the gunshots?” Adrian asked, glaring at his son.

He saw the coverage of that incident. She shoved Jace Hudson aside and got shot in his place. Her level of humanitarian service had surpassed any that he’s ever known and witnessed.

She might lose her life and then her memories will be forever remembered by the Hudson’s family.

“She did, by a breath. Her life was hanging by a thread when she arrived at the hospital. But thanks, she’s not in harm’s way anymore but still unconscious”: Richard explained.

“But I hope she’s not the same friend of yours that almost died a week ago or thereabouts?” Adrian asked, staring at his son.

“She is. That’s what makes me go emotional the most. She’d been escaping death narrowly. I hope nothing happens to her. I feel obligated to protect her and it seems to me that her happiness is my responsibility” Richard declared.

He doesn’t seem to understand how his emotions are playing hard to understand with him. He must find out about Arianna and know if he had grown up with her in the past or they had been friends in childhood.

Adrian Delmark was dazed. He shook his head in pity for the poor woman. Leaving the hospital after escaping death and returning back to it. He wished that she finds rest and a purpose to living after this last narrow escape from death.

“You’re like me, Richard. That’s what makes you my son. Keep helping people and giving many a shoulder to lean on. All the kindness you offer to the needy, will eventually come back to you someday..”Adrian Delmark said.

“Thanks Dad” Richard appreciated. He learnt to be good from his dad. He hopes that one day, he would become a great man like his dad.

Adrian nodded. He smiled and asked “How is Genesis, when are you bringing her home to us?” He asked. His son should be thinking of settling down in marriage at his age now. And Jane told him he has a girlfriend and her name is Genesis.

“She’s fine, dad. I’ll bring her when Arianna is alright and discharged” Richard replied.

“Is she Arianna’s friend?” Jabe asked. “Yes, she is. She’s Arianna’s childhood friend and I met her through Arianna” Richard explained.

Adrian chuckled aloud “You see what I said earlier. The good and kindness you show towards others, will eventually come back to you. See now son, you are already basking in the euphoria of your kindness”

Richard smiled and nodded. “You are absolutely right, dad,” the family of three laughed, the parents teasing their son that he had already got two female friends, one a lover and the other simply a friend.

Richard laughed and said didn’t his parents meet each other through a friend as well? He was only finding himself in the pattern his parents walked in.

Soon Adrian said “Richard I want to discuss something very important with you..”
