My Novel-like Story

Chapter 5: No Other Place Beats Home...



Stuck in a room with no mobility, anyone will be bored but not Wei because he has two companions: a pretty nurse and a cute little one.

With his young and healthy body, together with right nutrition and care, the healing of the fracture bones which is just a minor case only took less than six weeks.

The rehabilitation was still covered by the Villiar family for Wei to spend nothing but his effort.

He has a cheering team composed of Queennie and the young nurse named Nichloe for him to be more motivated.

A week of observation, the hospital finally let him go and advice him to rest for a few months before doing what he normally does.

Of course a follow up check-up was set in order for a perfect recovery: a thorough X-ray and nothing more.

On the exact day the man will be discharge, Mr. Villiar was there to congratulate.

Mrs. Reyes is also there with Queennie in her arms.

Nichloe is absent but Wei got her number so they can still communicate in the furure.

After Queennie reluctantly let him go, head to his cheap apartment to pack all his things.

With a simple notice to the university where he's studying that he's going to drop out, didn't even inform anyone in the boxing world that he's not going back and left the capital city, headed to his hometown.

Of course he didn't forget to update Saamantha even thought he never get any replies.

And so as Queennie who keeps on texting him.

In the rented Van that he booked in advance, the memory of him when he start boxing flashes as he close his eyes and fall asleep.

The man is like watching his life in a dream and when he open his eyes again, they already arrived at place where commercial buses and vans usually stop for everyone's personal necessities.

Because it's time for dinner, Wei generously treat the driver for a big meal.

The whole stop over thing lasted for fourty five minutes before they continue their travel.

There's still more than four hours left but it's like an hour when Wei fell asleep.

When he woke up again, already arrived at his hometown capital.

Because the family house is still a few minutes drive from where they are right now, went to instruct the driver not to be lost his way.

Soon, finally came in front a two story house which is obviously a newly constructed building.

Two elderly and a teenage boy came out from the house to welcome and also to help carry the things.

Went to give the full payment of the van's rent with a tip to the driver before leading the three relatives inside the house for a proper reunion after being away for more than six months.

Because it's already late at night, the conversation only lasted for ten minutes and everyone went to rest.

The night is just a matter of closing your eyes for a few hours as a new day to come.

As a muscle memory, Wei woke early together with his adoptive parents: his parents.

Because he can't do what he usually do as he wake up early in the morning, decided to have a morning walk.

Compare to the city's polluted air, the breeze in the province is the best.

What's more, their family home is located in an agricultural land and still a few miles away from the municipal capital that is undergoing such fast development so the air is really fresh and relaxing: full of trees and plants

The man plans to walk for just a half mile and return home when he saw a poster saying lot for sale.

All the information about the land is already there and the price is very clear which is surprisingly three million.

A shortsighted person will say it's too expensive but an eighteen years old openminded like Wei, he immediately saw an opportunity.

So without thinking about it, went to remove the poster and head straight to the one in charge.

On his way to the municipal capital, saw several posters and didn't hesitate to take all of them.

He's confuse to see a lot of people selling their lands in a reasonable price, even considered as low; but how can he miss such thing and have the guts to bet all his savings.

On the way, met some people he knows for them to chat.

There are those friends: real and fake but still reliable in normal times.

He can be considered as a celebrity: especially in boxing; but still act like a normal teenage boy that they knew since childhood.

Also a young millionaire even before he received the five million compensation from the Villiar family yet chose to live an ordinary lifestyle.

Because he's afraid to strain his still recovering legs, went to ride with one of his friend in his motorcycle who's heading to the municipal capital.

Upon arriving at the central area, immediately noticed those new establishment.

He even saw an advertisment in a big tarpauline saying;

"Do you want to earn fast? Instead of leaving your money in a vault to rot, deposit everything to us and we will make sure to earn as high as the same amount in just a week. If you don't know us, we are the 'Wealth Corporation', the most trusted money making organization that helps you beat the system and become rich.
