BXBX NOVEL Chapter 339 Unreasonable
After the press conference and the banquet, Ean was dragged into the hospital by his assistant and other few men who were appointed to get Ean back to the hospital.
Since all the tests related to the physical effects caused by the car accident were completed in the morning, The second series of tests were done by the psychologists to rectify the anxiety, depression, personality, and behavior changes, sleep disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Ean was on good behavior as his stupidity might tag him some effects and Alvin would admit him to the hospital for silly reasons.
When the tests were completed, Ean cursed his cousin and wore the neck collar, and returned to the VIP ward of the hospital following Benson who was reporting to Alvin.
"Mr. Matthews, due to the violent motion of the head during the accident, the impact caused whiplash…" Benson quickly broke down his words imagining the deadly stare of Alvin, "Ean has sustained soft tissue damage. Hence he will have to spend a few weeks with a neck collar to avoid chronic pain and discomfort in the future."
"What the…" Ean shut his mouth when Benson glanced at him. Never make a doctor as an enemy, so he behaved before both these men nailed him to the bed.
Benson knew only Alvin could keep Ean in the neck collar. So he was reporting it to Alvin with details. He continued with further points, "As for the emotional effects, Ean just had counseling. As of now, he found no issues but the doctor has suggested monitoring Ean and reporting to him immediately if there is any change in personality or behavior, sleeping trouble, or PTSD."
Ean snatched the mobile from Benson\'s hand and bleated, "Alvin, don\'t believe him. He is a quack. I am perfectly alright. I will go and prepare for the party."
Benson smugly smiled hearing Ean call him an imposter. So he said loud enough to reach Alvin\'s ear, "No alcohol... During medication."
Ean snorted at his cousin and waited for Alvin to believe him. However, he heard the soft and faint voice of Anya, [Alvin, Alvin… Snowfall…]
Ean went towards the window in the room to look out. Before he could enjoy his view, Alvin spoke so calmly, that he had goosebumps, [You have two choices. In the hospital for a month or do as your cousin says.]
Ean smacked his forehead and shoved the mobile into Benson\'s hand, having no idea it wasn\'t an accident but an attempt to murder.
Shaking his head in resignation, Benson turned to leave the room when Ean\'s father strode inside angrily. "Uncle Watson!?"
Ean flustered. He didn\'t want his father or his family to get to know about the accident. "Err… Dad, how did you…"
Mr. Watson didn\'t let Ean complete his words. He turned to Benson and demanded, "How could you also hide this from us? How is he doing?"
Benson was composed facing an angry Mr. Watson. "Uncle, Ean is doing good. The neck injury could be solved in a few days. Don\'t worry."
How assuring Benson might have sounded, Mr. Watson turned to Ean and announced, "I won\'t allow you to work for Alvin. Enough of playing around. You are coming home with me and working at our company."
Ean was baffled. He couldn\'t understand what was the relation between working with Alvin and the accident. "Dad, I am not a kid." Ean shrugged his father\'s hand from his arm. "Stop being unreasonable."
Mr. Watson\'s eyes grew large and red when he heard Ean. "Unreasonable!?" He bellowed, "How is it outrageous to protect my son?" He sneered, glaring at Ean.
"Ean," Mr. Watson pointed his finger at Ean as he spoke, "Enough is enough. I didn\'t stop you all these years. Now you are listening to me. I don\'t want any more discussion on this."
Ean was irritated at how his father was trying to control him and his life. He got away from his hands and asked, holding down his irritation, "First of all, I am not going to work in the fashion industry. Furthermore, I never agreed to leave Alvin or Skylark."
Money and connections might be Alvin\'s, he had worked hard day and night to bring Skylark to the industries in a short time. He wasn\'t going to give up on it.
Ean didn\'t let his father utter a single word. He knew his father was angry at his behavior but he wasn\'t going to blindly follow his father, "Dad, weren\'t you proud of me at the banquet? It hasn\'t been a f**king hour."
He paused when Benson squeezed his shoulder. He composed his tone, "Dad, if you don\'t tell me the reason behind your actions, I can\'t convince you or even talk to you."
Mr. Watson clenched his teeth and glared at his son. He doesn\'t understand what was so special about Alvin that his son follows him everywhere.
"You want a reason? You are in this position because of Alvin. You were lucky to be safe, do you want us to wait for another accident? Open your eyes before it\'s too late." Mr. Watson reasoned. Nothing was more important than his son\'s life. Not even his friend.
Ean\'s confusion slowly cleared. He exclaimed in shock, "It was an attack on Alvin!!?" He quickly fished his mobile to call Alvin and inform him but his father snatched his mobile and smashed it to the ground.
"I said enough." Mr. Watson snapped at Ean.
Ean stood calmly and breathed slowly. He felt a sharp pain in his neck when he suddenly turned to the mobile on the floor. He decided to send his father first and send him away.
"Alright. I won\'t speak with Alvin." He sounded as if he was going to maintain distance from Alvin. "Dad, how did you get to know about the accident? Who told you that I\'m here?"
Mr. Watson suspiciously looked at Ean. He would be a fool if he believed Ean. Ean and Alvin were friends from kindergarten. How could he break them apart so easily?
Anyway, he sat down on the bed and relaxed first. He patiently tried to make his son understand, "Ean, there are people who want to destroy Skylark and Alvin. And you are a key person for the company development. Alvin wasn\'t in danger. You were attacked to stop the Skylark event.
Fortunately, you were in a well-designed car and you are safe. It won\'t be the case every time. They might try to harm you in different ways. Let Alvin take care of himself and you focus on yourself."
Ean wanted to laugh hearing he was the key person for development. Alvin could run the company better without him or even find a replacement. Anyway, he knew his father was worried about him. But he wasn\'t a coward to run away from trouble and leave his friend alone.
Will somebody kill him for being the CEO of Skylark?
He doubted it as no information about the accident was leaked. So the one who reached his father could be the instigator.
Was the instigator trying to take his support away from Alvin?
\'Gianna!?\' Gianna had several times tried to separate him from Alvin and every time, it failed. So does she have a hand in it?
Ean nodded, pretending to be agreeing with his father, and asked, "Dad, who told you about the accident?" Other than the Matthews family, another enemy is Miles Johnson. So he wanted a clear picture before speaking with Alvin.
