The Tide of Fortune novel Chapter 4

Reginaldo woke up in Lagoon City's famous General Hospital. After his car flipped over, he blacked out and couldn't remember anything else.

Now, when he opens his eyes, he finds himself wearing his blue hospital gown and quite comfortable in a hospital bed.

Very comfortable is the right word. Reginaldo wasn't on one of those hard gurneys or with those uncomfortable pillows. The blankets were warm and the room he was in was squeaky clean and smelled pleasantly of disinfectant.

It was then that the penny dropped.

Reginaldo was in the private wing!

But how did this happen? Did Mr. and Mrs. Ferreira feel sorry for their son-in-law and decided to give him the best treatment? Didn't they want journalists to discover their son-in-law among the poor patients?

Reginaldo didn't know. He just smiled and closed his eyes, wanting to rest as much as possible.

A few hours later, Reginaldo reopened his eyes when he heard footsteps. He thought a good-looking female nurse was coming to bring lunch.

However, it was such Reggie's surprise when he realized that, instead of a blonde, busty nurse, the visitor was a gray-haired gentleman in a black suit and tie!

The gentleman smiled when he saw Reginaldo awake, "Master, you're awake. You're safe and sound, finally!"

"What are you doing here, Anestor?" Reginaldo questions sharply.

"Master, please don't get carried away."

There was a multi-parameter monitor plugged into Reginaldo registering an increase in heart rate.

Reginaldo gets even more irritated, "What do you mean, not getting excited? I already got what's happening, how I ended up here."

"The news got around that you had an accident and of course, my boss ordered us to save your life," Anestor responds by sitting in the visitors' seat.

"I thought my in-laws took pity on me," Reginaldo grumbles, pouting.

As such, Anestor replies, "Not exactly. My lord ordered them to look for you a year ago. Later, I was informed of what they discovered."

Reginaldo starts to get embarrassed, "I can say that they didn't have much to report to my father. I'm fine, my life is satisfactory. I'm married to the heiress of the Ferreira Hotel and I live in a big house with a nice swimming pool."

"Do you LIVE or CLEAN the mansion? How many domestic servants does this house have?" Anestor smiles sarcastically.

"We don't need servants," Reginaldo responds against his will.

"So the house isn't very big, it's not the size of a mansion, and it's your wife who does the housework."

Reginaldo heaves a sigh, "OK! Since you know, why deny it? I'm the one who does the cleaning. I didn't even come back to make Laura breakfast."

Anestor bursts out laughing. At other times he would be fired, but now... he's enjoying it!
