Chapter 2 2

Surely the onlookers around thought I had run over him, so they left him like that. The young man was tall, strong, with almond-shaped eyes, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.

- Call my father, I prefer to be treated at his hospital, lady - The young man opened his mouth for the first time

Luísa - Of course - It turns out that I didn't find a cell phone, just the wallet with the documents, but as soon as the ambulance arrived, they took him away and then I handed his belongings to the SAMU guy, informing him that he wanted to go to his father's hospital

- Madam, SAMU services take care of taking it to the nearest hospital in the region, for the documents we will look for those responsible and then yes if they want to transfer to another hospital - the super rude paramedic replied

I was kneeling there watching the ambulance drive away and automatically the onlookers scattered too, so to avoid problems I told the police present that the person who hit him had fled the scene of the accident. Since I was nearby and I am a doctor, I decided to help

⚜ Christopher Bustamante⚜

When my grandparents died, they left the Hospital Imperial ClinBustamante in the division of my father and my two uncles Henrique and Guilherme. My father was very interested in being the best plastic surgeon, my uncle Guilherme, after Anaíra was born, did not want to get involved with anything at the hospital, while Henrique was always interested in the presidency, even because he was the most ambitious

Henrique wanted to leave Alessandro in the presidency, it turns out that my grandfather made it clear in his will that the hospital would only have a new president if it was one of the three children, if it was not one of the children, the grandson or granddaughter who gave him a great-grandchild first even in death , that was the main clause in the will

I confess I had no interest in competing for the presidency of the hospital, my only intention is to work at my grandfather's hospital and honor his name. I graduated in medicine very early, right after I finished doing Neurosurgery and today I can proudly say that I am the best and biggest Neurosurgeon in the region, you can only open a skull when you have a very great command over this anatomy and my future is to continue offering what I have best for my patients

Alexandra – I think you should run for president too, you have as much right as Alessandro

Christopher – Mom, grandpa didn't want that and you know it!

Alexandra – Of course it was, the will was open and the clause was very clear that the first grandchild to have children would have the presidency

Christopher – Mom please! I'm content with just being Chief Surgeon, I love what I do

Alexandra – You also need to think about Ana Heloísa, my son, this hospital will later become hers too

Christopher – Mom, Ana is only seven years old and regardless of what she wants, I'm doing very well professionally and financially too. Now good morning, I need to take Ana Heloísa to school and go to work

Ana Heloísa is my princess, she is only seven years old, but a little adult, I was very afraid to raise her without her mother, because she left three months after she was born. At first I was desperate, I even took her to college just to not leave her with any stranger, when we become parents it's rare to leave our offspring with anyone, even if they are known

Ana Heloísa – Dad, can I go with you?

Christopher – No princess, you go to school and I go to work

Ana Heloísa – All right, I'll ask Aunt Anaíra to take me to work with her

Christopher – Anaíra will not disobey me Ana, go to school yes! In the afternoon, when I pick you up, we'll have lunch and I'll buy you an ice cream. What do you think?

It was difficult to say no to Ana, however, a child doesn't just live on YES, but on limits. I went to the meeting to meet my father, he wants to retire and become president even though I said I didn't want to

Victor – My son, understand that I don't trust Alessandro. I know the hospital would go downhill in his hands, he's ambitious and will do anything for money

Christopher – Father, you have always supported me in this regard! Always been for and against what mommy wanted

Victor – Regardless, my son. Your mother only wants you to accept this presidency for the sake of money and ego. Her ego is bigger than seeing Alessandro sitting in a chair that in her eyes should be his

Christopher – And you, what are your motives?

Victor – I don't want this hospital to go bankrupt! I know your cousin, if it were for Henrique to stay I would still ignore it because I know he would not end up with our assets, not least because our father suspended this hospital, but your cousin is ambitious

Christopher – Dad, I live in this hospital and I have Ana Heloísa! I don't want to interfere with the time I have with my daughter, Alessandro has more time because he has no obligations

Victor – Your cousin is going to be a father, he also got married a few years ago and is now going to be a father. He also wouldn't have time since he's going to be newborn

I didn't know much about Alessandro, we're cousins, but we were never close, because he was mean since he was little. I remember perfectly when he put my bicycle on the train tracks out of sheer malice, whenever our grandfather gave us money he kept looking to see if I received the same amount as he did, otherwise he tore up the money I earned

When he got married, he didn't invite me. Even if I had been invited, I couldn't go, because I was traveling because of my studies, there were congresses and more congresses. In our adolescence, he dated my first girlfriend and it was a real deliverance, not least because what she was beautiful, she was a gold digger, since she betrayed me to travel out of state with him

It will truly be unpleasant to have to live with Alessandro again, I imagine what the poor wife must not pass into his hands. The badness there is already installed

Victor – And then, promise to think?

Christopher – Dad, it's out of my plans! I'm not going to put the little time I have with Ana Heloísa at stake

Victor – That being the case, I don't see any other way for us to discuss this thoughtfully. It will be necessary to do a raffle with the three of you, Anaíra and Alessandro with all the investors and shareholders, both give their versions of why they want to and then yes, if you don't get voted that's fine, but I don't want you giving it away like that

It was nothing I expected, however, it would do no good for me to go against my father. He's too stubborn and even more so after he asked my mother for a divorce.

Christopher – Whatever you want, then, I've already declared that I don't want the presidency. I'm going to see how my patients who need revision are doing and then I'll pick up Ana Heloísa at school

And so I did, I checked the status of all the patients who underwent surgery and were under observation and I went towards the school, as there was no parking space in front of the school so I stopped on the other side of the street and went towards the school, the light was closed so I decided to cross

It turns out that as soon as I crossed, there was a car running at high speed that had pierced the light, I even tried to go back, but I believe the driver threw the car to the same side to which I returned and I only felt my legs weaken

– Hello young man, how are you? Be still, the ambulance will arrive soon – I felt it put something under my head
