My Rich Medical System

System Awakening

As his eyes closed, Daven finally realized that no one would love him, just because he loved them in return. Only money could elevate a person’s status and make one respected. If he had money, Gerald and Maya would never have looked down on him.

If he had money, he could get wherever he wanted and even trample on those who bully him.

If he had money, he could get whoever he wanted… Just if…

With that thought, Daven finally lost consciousness on the hard floor, his breathing turned shallow as well. With no one to help him, he lay almost lifeless on the bare floor for hours.

Three hours later, Daven’s eyes fluttered open due to the sound of the phone ringing endlessly in his pocket.

He groaned, feeling his head was about to split open while the bones in his body felt like they were about to pull apart. Still, he managed to take out his phone, and while he squinted his eyes, he saw that it was his father calling.

Quickly, he connected the call, “Father, I am sorry, I will be home soon…”

He looked out the window to see that it was dark and his father must have been very worried.

“Daven…” Contrary to his expectations, his father’s voice came out very weak and fragile. “I need you here at the hospital. The bills… they need to be sorted.”

“What?” Daven gasped, sitting upright while holding onto his back in pain. “You are at the hospital? How?”

Even though his father’s health wasn't that great, when he left home, his father was healthy.

“Yes, I fell…” Suddenly, his father’s voice was cut short with a nurse’s angry voice, demanding Daven to come to the hospital immediately to sort out the bills.

In the next second, the call ended and Daven stared at the blank and cracked phone in his hand with despair. He knew the bills were going to be a lot of money and he only had a couple of hundreds of dollars to give out.

It would never be enough.

His body was now gripped with fear and hopelessness. Where was he to get money?

He needed all the money he could scrunch up and he quickly searched his pockets, hoping he would find the bills that were thrown at him earlier. However, he quickly realized that he left them on the football pitch earlier.

Slowly, he stood up to his feet, enduring his painful joints and his almost fractured back as he wobbled back to the pitch. He reached the spot he was in earlier, only to find that the money was gone.

“What are you looking for?” A voice resounded from behind and Daven turned to see one of the players.

He quickly asked, “I left some money given to me here. Did you see them by chance?”

“Oh, that…” The player chuckled. “Gerald gave it out to another cleaner. He said you didn’t need them–”

“What?” Daven gasped, not believing his eyes. He had worked hard for that money and Gerald just took it like that?

“Where is Gerald?” He asked, already feeling very annoyed.

“At the parking lot. About to leave…”

Daven didn't even wait for the player to finish his sentence before dashing away, ignoring the searing pain in his body. He didn't care whether Gerald was going to beat him up again, all he knew was that he needed to get his money back.

His father was lying sick in the hospital and he wanted to show up. He also didn't want to bother his sister for money because he had made sure his sister didn't work much and only focused on her studies.

Daven couldn't afford to fail in his breadwinner duties. One little setback wouldn't deter him.

A few minutes later, he reached the parking lot, only to see Gerald smooching Maya by the side of his car. But he didn't care about their relationship anymore, he just wanted his money.

“Why are you here again?” Maya snarled, letting go of Gerald and stomping toward Daven.

However, Daven quickly avoided her by taking a detour, shocking Maya to the core. Did he not notice her?

Daven stood before Gerald, staring at him with bloodshot eyes, and he demanded, “I heard you took my money, give it back!”

“Tch! What money?” Gerald snickered, mockingly. “$300? Is that what you call money?”

“I don’t care! My father is dying and I need to pay the bills! You wouldn't like what I would do to you if you took that money from me!” Daven warned his mind dead set on causing Gerald harm.

However, Gerald wasn't one bit scared by his threat, “Too bad...” He chuckled.

“…I already gave it out.”

At the same time, Maya chipped in, “Since your father is dying, you might as well go with him. You can take your scrawny sister along with you both too.”

“What did you just say?” Daven stared at Maya angrily and desperately holding himself back from lunging at her.

They laughed in his face, seeing his restrained body movements and as they had nothing else to say to him, Gerald slowly led Maya to his car, kick-started it, and started to drive away slowly.

However, Daven couldn't let them leave that way. He needed the money and didn't care how he was going to get it. So, he quickly ran straight and stood before the car, spreading his hands wide open to stop them.

But then, Gerald suddenly let out a sick smile, his eyes shining with wickedness.

“Do you want to watch a bloody show?” Gerald smiled at Maya and she nodded, enthusiastically.

As soon as she nodded her head, he stepped on the accelerator and drove speedily toward Daven.

Daven’s eyes widened in shock seeing Gerald’s car speeding toward him. He immediately tried to dodge but he was too slow…

Bang!

Daven’s body flew in the air and landed on the hard floor as Gerald drove out of the parking lot.

Daven coughed up blood, with his head dripping with blood and his eyes were already blurred with blood. He saw death before him and his heart clenched in anger and thirst for revenge.

However, his body had given up, his life slowly slipping away and he might never be able to get back at Gerald. He wished he could have another chance to drill a hole into that quarterback’s head. Another chance to take care of his family fully, instead of thinking about an ungrateful girl like Maya.

But at the same time, a robotic voice resounded in his head.

[System Awakening! Daven King, do you want to turn your fate around and get a new life? You have five seconds to accept the System!]

[1…2…3…]

All Daven could understand was getting a new life and that was all that mattered to him at that point.

“Yes!” He responded.
