Chapter 79: Hospital Director

Adam without much thought climbed back out of the window and held onto the pipe, but he didn't climb down and wanted to hear who it was that was coming into the office.

"What do you mean one of the coma patients suddenly woke up out of nowhere" exclaimed the hospital director as he opened the door of his office.

"Come inside and tell me everything that happened," he said to the nurse that informed him what had happened.

She wanted to refute as her work hours had finished, but she has heard about the hospital director who was tyrannical and could fire her, so did as he said.

They entered the office and he sat on his desk as the nurse sat on the chair opposite him.

"It's quite cold in here," said the hospital director as he stood up to close the window.

"I don't remember opening the window this much" mumbled the director to himself.

Instantly Adam was worried that he would be spotted, but luckily the director closed the window without looking outside, where he would have seen Adam hanging onto the pipe close to his window.

[Damn it] thought Adam to himself as he placed his ear as close to the window as he could and attempted to hear.

They were speaking quite loudly and Adam with his high Intelligence stat, that also enhanced his senses, was still able to hear them talking.

"The woman that was in the coma ward for over 2 years, Jannet Green, was on the verge of death as her body was collapsing. However as her adoptive son was visiting her, she suddenly woke up and was completely healthy without anything wrong with her" stated the nurse.

"Did you see what happened before she awoke from her coma" enquired the hospital director.

"Her adoptive son requested us to leave and we did, then he suddenly came running out and told us that she had woke up" answered the nurse.

"That is unusual, but it is good that she was able to recover. You may take your leave and also take tomorrow off. You have been working hard" allowed the director.

"Thank you very much" she thanked respectfully as she left the directors office.

'The rumours about him being rude and tyrannical must be false' thought the nurse to herself as she left.

Adam was yet to hear anything that proved his suspicions, but as soon as the nurse left, the director's demeanour changed completely.

"Shit. This could get me into a lot of trouble with the boss and I must tell him immediately that one of the coma patients woke up" stated the director to himself angrily.

As soon as he heard that, Adam was intrigued to see who the boss was and was finding that the idea of his aunt being put into a coma by the hospital for him to pay medical bills, was becoming more and more likely.

The director dialled the phone and began speaking on the phone to a person that was unknown to Adam, who couldn't hear well enough to hear the person speaking on the phone.

"Boss there has been a hiccup in our coma-inducing cycle. Usually, after 2 and a half years to 3 years at most, the patient dies and we find new patients to fill up the coma ward with, but this time one of the patients managed to wake up" informed him the director.

Adam couldn't hear what the man replied with and was only going off what the director was saying, but it was more than enough to prove his criminal activities.

[This bastard and his boss was the cause of all my misery and wasted 3 years of not only my aunt's life but mine aswell] thought Adam to himself furiously.

Adam didn't ask for or deserve hardship and even when he was younger was a kind soul, yet wherever he went, he was reminded how cruel the world really was.

"Yes I will look into her identity and her family and if they know anything or are a threat to our organisation, I will get them killed" affirmed the director.

The conversation with his boss lasted a minute and the entire time he was respectful, while Adam who was listening from outside his window was seething with rage.

[I am not sure whether he is a cultivator or not. But he said 'I will get them killed' instead of 'I will kill them', so I can assume his ordinary] thought Adam to himself as he debated whether or not to kill him now.

Adam's anger and desire to kill won over his cautiousness and without thinking about the consequences, Adam broke the window with his fist and jumped into the office.

Before the director could scream or react, Adam covered his mouth forcefully with his hand.

"You scummy bastard. You dared to play with the lives of innocents as if they are worthless. Tell me who is your boss" interrogated Adam, wanting to find out about the boss before killing the hospital director.

The director shook his head and refused to answer, but Adam couldn't help but smile.

"You will die today. But it can either be quick and painless. Or slow and painful painful" stated Adam.

Grabbing a pen from the director's desk, Adam dug it into the director's leg, and with the great force that Adam put behind the attack, he pierced the pen into his leg.

The director tried to scream for help and wail in pain, but Adam covered his mouth and continued pressing on the pen.

"Will you answer my question or not?" asked Adam.

Clenching his teeth to bear with the pain, the director was scared for his life and knew he would die either way.

If he revealed who his boss was, he would be killed and if he didn't he would be tortured.

He decided that if he was going to die anyway, he would take down his boss with him and lower the pain, but he didn't know much about his boss anyway.

"He is the owner of this hospital and a criminal organisation and has many illegal activities through hospitals for human trafficking and selling organs. But I don't know his name or the name of his organisation" informed him the director.

Adam noted everything the director said and after continuously stabbing his leg, he believed that the director had nothing else to offer.

After gaining all the information he could from the director, Adam couldn't help but laugh.

"Did you really think I was going to let you off?" asked Adam rhetorically as he burst out into evil laughter.
