Chapter 55: Chapter 55
Miranda Alvan couldn't help but wear a broad smile. To hide her excitement, she crashed into Louis' chest and buried her head there.
So this is how to deal with terrible women like Leah Hayden. This is sweet. She willingly agreed to her accusations simply because she is trying to protect her son from going mad.
This sweetens her belly. Yeah, this is what she wanted. Leah Hayden is now at her call and beckon. She's now the one to decide whatever happens on the deal.
She's taking the shot now and she's in charge of the wheel. Wherever she drives Leah Hayden towards, she would simply follow and nod sheepishly.
"How can you not think about my happiness mom? You want to separate me from the woman that I love. If Miranda hadn't held on, what would have been the case now?
Please stop it. Henceforth I don't want you anywhere close to my pregnant fiancée before and after the child is born. Stay away from us" Louis declared.
"Louis, she said she would hurt my baby, don't let her come anywhere close to our house again" Miranda spoke, still hiding her face in Louis' chest. She can't help but grin broadly there.
"Sure. I don't want to see you here again. Don't bring your feet into our home. I will also get a restraining order against you. Stay very far away from us" Louis bellowed.
An hour later, Louis dashed into the conference room. He was supposed to be presiding over it but he was nowhere to be found.
From the moment he learnt that Miranda was pregnant, he was gradually descending deeper into truancy. Everyone glared at him as he sat down and crossed his legs on the desk.
"President Hayden, are you alright?" Ellis asked politely. He is Louis' father and he felt embarrassed at his son's nonchalant attitude.
But if he had known what actions Louis would put up, he wouldn't have asked him. He would have looked away and pretended not to see him.
"I am not alright dad. I cannot be alright until you learn to tame your wife. Tell your wife to stay away from Miranda and I.
How can Mom order Miranda to have an abortion. In the past I realised that she wouldn't let us be happy together. She resisted us from getting married.
And now that I'm going to be a father, she came again with her evilness and demanded that Miranda have an abortion…" Louis was saying when Ellis shut him up.
"Shut the hell up, Louis," he thundered. They were before two investors. One was going to sign a multi million contract with them and the other was going to invest in the new edition of the robotic machine.
"Why should I shut up? Huh, why should I be quiet? My first child is going to be aborted and you expect me to shut up? I will not be quiet. I will ruin everyone who tries to stand on my way of being a father" Louis thundered and hit his fist on the large desk.
Romeo just walked over and forced Louis off his feet and took him out. It's obvious that he was becoming a Maniac gradually.
"Is this Louis Hayden, the President of Hayden's cooperation?" The first investor asked. He had met him a few times in the past and he was impressed with his personality.
But this fellow here doesn't seem to be him. He has the looks but the words oozing out of those lips are those from a man at the final stage of depression.
"I apologise on his behalf. He is undergoing an unpleasant experience in his relationship at the moment. Kindly accept my apologies" Ellis Hayden said, clasping his hands together.
There was a grave silence in the conference hall. Everyone knew the meeting had ended without arriving at any sensible decision.
Romeo just pushed Louis into his own office and shut the door. He tried to calm Louis but the latter was struggling hard, trying to get off his grip and go to find his father.
He wasn't done talking to him. He needed to give his dad a piece of his mind. His Mom cannot be interfering in matters where her opinion is unwanted.
Seeing it was getting out of hand, Romeo knocked him down and Louis just sank into the sofa and passed out.
Romeo stood, towering over him. What is happening to Louis? Will he end up in a mental home? Will he deteriorate to the point where he now resides in an asylum?
He can't remember the past, which is not the same as losing his mind. They aren't the same. Louis is losing his mind already. They might end up losing a multimillion dollar contract.
An hour later, Louis gradually opened his eyes. He tried to sit up, but couldn't. He felt weak. He glanced around and saw that he was on an intravenous drip.
This is the President's lounge. When did he get in there, was he brought in there? Has his case gotten so complex that he is being treated like a crazy person?
Then he heard his father's voice yelling at the doctor. From what he was saying, it only means he was talking to a doctor.
"... Shouldn't my son be recovering, why is he getting more confused? Louis is descending farther and farther into the pit of confused darkness.
Aren't you a specialist, at least that's what you called yourself. A simple case of managing a concussion is gradually developed into something else.
I will take my son out of the country. And if I discovered that you are deliberate in keeping him in this state, I will ruin you completely.
I will see that you lose your practicing license and you rot in jail for the rest of your life. Just take a look at what my son had become…"Ellis Hayden bellowed.
Louis heard everything his dad said and a lone tear dropped down from the sides of his eyes. It's a pity. What is wrong with him, is he going mad already?
He can't remember his past and he can't act rationally. He cannot behave himself and control the unprovoked temper that surges within him like a volcano.
"No, Mr Ellis, there was a mix up in his medication this morning. He won't be acting that way again. I will personally monitor his medication every two days.
I apologize for any embarrassment this might have caused you. I would want whoever is helping him with his medication take proper care before letting him have it" The doctor apologized.
"Are you saying this sudden behaviour will cease, that he would be alright henceforth?" Romeo asked.
"You can have my words on that. This is the last time such an outburst will happen" The doctor assured them.
Romeo and Ellis exchanged glances and sighed. Ellis wanted to ask him another question when Louis stepped out of the lounge in long strides.
"Am I going crazy now, dad?" He asked.
