Chapter 9: Grateful

As the sun began to set, the door to the hospital room creaked open, admitting the presence of a distinguished physician. He approached us with a contrite countenance, tendering his apologies for the tardiness of his colleague and respectfully requesting that they depart, as visiting hours had come to a close.

"Greetings all, I have noticed that my colleague had admitted you into this room after the designated time, and I extend my sincerest apologies. However, as per hospital protocol, visitors are not permitted to remain beyond six o'clock in the evening. I humbly request that you visit again tomorrow."

"That is quite alright, we were just about to take our leave." Dennis replied.

He stood up right next to me, and it was at that moment I realized how tall and muscular his physique appeared...

"However, before we depart, there is something I would like to share with you all." He said, with a serious tone in his voice.

"Is that permissible, doctor?"

"Of course! I shall return shortly."

...

"My wife and I have been contemplating this for some time, but given that the situation involves two of our employees, we felt it was unavoidable.

It was late in the evening, just about two weeks ago. Our maidens were engaged in cleaning the last remnants of dirt and dishes, overseen by the butlers, as I was savoring my glass of wine, my head butler rushed into my private chambers with a frightened expression on his face.

He informed me that there was someone requesting an audience with me at the door, he nor any of us were familiar with this individual, yet the mere request by this person alone made my head butler stutter in his speech.

I was of course feeling a modicum of hostility, but as soon as I opened the portal, I beheld this effeminate-looking person, I am prone to be petty at times, if I am being honest, but this individual had a visage I'd never encountered before.

Although, the only thing that completely overwhelmed the admiration I had towards his appearance, was the sheer pressure coursing through my veins. As he stood before me, I felt as if I had to kneel down on the ground, never have I ever felt this sensation, but, somehow, I stood my ground.

He was attired in a very form-fitting white suit, that complemented his white hair, as well as his pallid skin, his red eyes appeared darkened due to the moonlight shining on his back, overshadowing his foresight..."

Could he be referring to...The one who approached me?

"I had to know his name, he told me his name was Vincent."

Vincent, is that his name? But, he never divulged this name, he told me that he was the Devil. It might be someone else he is referring to...

"A fancy name, is it not? Anyways, he went straight into business. He related the story of what transpired with the both of you, he explained the situation of the both of you, and ultimately, the state of your families.

I assure you, as soon as he informed me of the state of your families, he turned around and simply walked away, my gates were already open, my head butler is always the one to open and close the gates, but this time, it was I who closed it...

As I retraced my steps back to the mansion, I began to fully comprehend the gravity of Vincent's words.

Subsequently, after conferring with my spouse, we aspired to elevate your existence to a certain degree.

I shall be endowing a scholarship for Thomas, Dante, and Dante's progeny."

A scholarship? Is he serious?!

"A scholarship?!" Thomas exclaimed.

The countenance of all present was suffused with elation, even Father's, this was the first time I had observed Father exhibit a smile.

"I am not yet finished, we have procured a domicile for both households, a superior abode for you to inhabit."

"Oh my... We could never accept such a munificent offer! This is too much, dear...?" My mother said as she was on the verge of tears, Madison fortunately supported her by her shoulders.

"I can't believe this... My children are finally going to school..." Mother exclaimed.

Is this truly happening? Is this a figment of my imagination, correct...?
