The Billionaire's Daughter
Chapter 21: Complications
When everything was all set and the following day we will be travelling to San Francisco, something happened.
“Franco Briones. You are wanted at the Principal’s Office.”
I could have asked Saphira to join me but she was presenting her report in front of the class when I was called by one of the faculty.
“Good morning Sir, you called me?”
“Yes, well, I don’t know how to tell you this but someone from your mother’s work called in just a few minutes ago. Your mother collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. She did not say anything else but to inform you to go to Saint Therese Hospital near your area.”
If I was not at the Principal’s office I could have ran and rushed to the hospital.
“Franco, please tell me that you will still go to the Conference tomorrow?”
“Sir, I don’t think leaving my mother will be a good idea. If possible, can you still look for a replacement?”
“I was afraid you will tell that, but yes, I think I can find someone on a short notice. But I will still keep your ticket and hotel accommodation just in case you changed your mind. Just inform me immediately so we can compromise.”
“Thank you Sir for your consideration. May I please be excused? I need to go see my mother.”
“Yes yes of course. I hope nothing serious happened.”
“Thank you Sir. I hope so too.”
And so I rushed to the hospital to find my mother sleeping with some IV and some equipment to check her oxygen and heart rate.
“Sir, the doctor wants to speak to you at his office.”
“Thank you Nurse.”
When I got to the Doctor’s office I was very nervous, I was praying that everything will be alright and that my mom’s condition is not serious.”
“Mr. Briones, have a seat.”
“Thank you Sir”
