“Aunt Arya, Clavin is right. We both want to talk with dad.”, Colton said, and after hearing this, Calvin could imagine a ring on his brother’s head and two white wings behind his back. “Uncle Bruce, please call our dad.”
Bruce reluctantly dialed Brandon’s number.
“Please keep on the phone on speaker! Since we are twins, we both will talk to dad at the same time, and we will surprise him.”, Calvin suggested, on which Bruce looked at Arya and then shifted his gaze back to the kids. “Do it, Uncle.”, Calvin added.
“Hmm,” Bruce agreed and kept the phone on loudspeaker. Meanwhile, he was preparing a perfect lie in his mind, but all of a sudden, his mind was diverted to the voice of the person when he heard a familiar voice calling his name.
“Bruce”
“Sophia?”, He called her name in shock, and more than that, he was shocked by the fact that she was crying. He quickly removed the phone from the loudspeaker to normal and placed it near his ear, seeing the worried face of the kid. “Sophia, why are you crying? And how the hell Brandon’s phone is with you?”
“Brandon…”, She sobbed.
“Yes!! What, Brandon?” he waited impatiently to let her complete the sentence. The more she was taking time, the more he was getting scared. Brandon was already too weak, and he wasn’t in the right situation to travel anywhere. Heck, he couldn’t even walk without support for long.
“He’s … in hospital.”
“WHAT?” he stood on his feet, hearing this, and started leaving Sophia’s apartment to reach whatever hospital to which Brandon was admitted.
Damn it.
‘What the hell that Jake was doing? And why didn’t he inform anything about it.’ Bruce thought.
“Which hospital.”
“Manaus City hospital.”
“I will be reaching there as soon as possible.”, he said before disconnecting the call. However, he wanted to ask a lot of questions that weren’t the right time or the right way. He could get to know how they met AGAIN even after reaching the hospital.
“Uncle Bruce, wait!!”, He turned his head, and both kids ran toward him. It was hard to tell who had called him. And behind him, Arya was also taking big steps to match the speed of the kids. “We are also coming with you.”
“No!! Calvin and Colton. You both…”
“Don’t waste your time talking with them. If you don’t take us, then I will have to book a cab.”, Arya said, cutting Bruce in between.
Bruce sighed before replying, “Fine.”
He opened the back door and, one by one kept both the kids inside it and let Arya settle on her own while he ran to grab the seat beside the driver.
“Where to, Sir?”, The driver asked.
“Manaus City hospital.”, Bruce replied and opened the map on his phone to check the distance and time to reach there. While he was doing this, he couldn’t help but also hear the conversation between the kids.
“Seems like dad is really sick.”
“Yes! That’s why mom was crying like that. I have never seen her cry before.”
“Me too!”

Third Person’s POV
A few hours ago!!
Though Brandon had managed to come out of his room in search of Alcohol, he was having a hard time standing straight with the headache that he had had since morning. Thankfully, the hotel in which he was staying had a bar in front of it, so he didn’t need to go far in search of Alcohol. He grabbed the seat on the bar before ordering.
“One, Spirytus Vodka.”, he said to the bartender, and he looked at Brandon as if he was some beggar who had walked in there out of nowhere.
But the bartender didn’t offend him, thinking he might have come here with some Billionaire boss. He offered him the drink he wanted. After finishing five pegs, he asked for more. That’s when the bartender asked.
“Can you even pay? Or planning to have fun with your boss’s money?”
“Boss’s Money? I’m the boss here.”, Brandon said, chuckling.
“Yes! You are the boss, and I’m the president.”, That Bartender mocked.
“What … what kind of tone is that?”
“The same tone which beggars as you deserve.” Brandon smiled and nodded his head at his words, he would always remember those words of him, and he swore not to let him forget the same thing.
“You aren’t leaving this job anytime soon, are you?” Brandon asked.
“No, why?”
“So that I can make you regret today’s behavior.”, Brandon said, forwarding one of his cards to the bartender.
“Sure, go ahead. After a few pegs, everyone thinks of himself as some billionaire in disguise. You should thank me that I haven’t asked the bouncer not to kick you out of here because people like you don’t belong here. BEGGAR.”, Saying this, the bartender checked the card, but he frowned, seeing the card that Brandon had given was expired. “Nice trick. Now, clear the payment.”, He said, throwing the card at Brandon’s face.
Brandon checked the card and realized it was expired. He cursed mentally for not checking it before. And then he looked at the bartender who was giving him a look that whatever he would say, he wouldn’t buy it because of the look he was giving.
“What? Didn’t you have money in your pocket?” he asked, raising his brow.
“Give me some time. I will clear your payment.”, Brandon said and tried to call Bruce, but it was not getting connected.
“What? Calling your boss, huh?”, The bartender mocked. Brandon gritted his teeth but didn’t say a word because that was the truth of the world. Your outer appearance matters the most. He then thought to call Jake, but at that moment, he realized that he didn’t have Jake’s number.
By that time, that bartender had shared this whole incident with the manager, who also gave him a disgusting look.
“If he isn’t able to pay the amount within a few hours, then call the cops.”, The manager said. “And keep this dirt away from this area so he would scare other of our customers by his look.”, he added. And the very next moment, he called the bouncer.
“Don’t you dare.”, Brandon warned before the bouncer would have dragged him from there. He was paying through a card because he didn’t have the currency of this state, but that didn’t mean he didn’t have a single penny in his pocket.
He slammed two hundred bucks in front of them before speaking, “I know this is not the currency of this country, but this is almost double the bill of the vodka that you offered me. Keep the change.”, he hissed before walking out of the bar with trembling legs. Though his headache had been stopped, he was still feeling the constant pain below the ribcage and the worst thing was it was increasing with each passing minute.
