CHAPTER 3: She had lived all her life to please them

For the past two months, he has been planning with his men on going back and has even created a branch of his company in Chicago there and has asked one of his men to handle it till he comes back.

Today, he had wanted to finish his work over here which was why he was working on the files and that was because he wanted to head back to country Z on the first flight by tomorrow morning. But that wouldn't be possible again due to the current state of his health. Just as his doctor said, he needed to have some rest. He wondered what had brought up the sickness this time around and it was at times like this that he so much dislikes himself for having such an illness like that.

He would just get some rest, then check his health for some time before he embarks on his journey of revenge.

With this, he laid down on the bed and slept off.

After graduating from the university, all the medical students of the YS university were to go for a one-year internship in any hospital of their choice which of course, is willing to take them in.

They were to leave in a month and regarding that, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred started to make plans for their daughter Ava Claire, to get accepted into Golden life's medical hospital for her internship.

They had connections everywhere and because of that, it wouldn't be hard to get their daughter into there.

" Ava, your father had put in some good words about you to Mr. Desmond so you would be going there with me tomorrow to submit your credentials" Mrs . Alfred announced to Ava as they were eating at the dining.

"Dad did what? And I am going with you tomorrow?" Ava asked, clenching her fist.

" I bet you wouldn't want me to repeat myself, would you? When you heard me well?" Mrs. Alfred asked.

"But mum, isn't it time for you and dad to stop interfering in my life? Haven't you guys done enough?" Ava asked, tearing up.

" We have, and will continue to do so till we get what it is that we so desire from you" Mrs. Alfred replied as she chewed her food.

Ava dropped her chopsticks as she quickly stood up from the table.

"Where to? You're not done yet" Mrs. Alfred inquired.

" Sorry, I lost my appetite," Ava replied as she walked out there to her room upstairs.

She laid down on her bed and started to sob.

Would it have been good if she was born into a poor family? At least she would have had a dream unlike now when everything about her was dictated by her parents.

Her life from childhood till now. She has just come back from the university after graduation a few days back, which was also where they had sent her to study against the other medical university she had wanted to go to.

The only thing that they didn't change was her profession although they would have preferred it if she had become a businesswoman and of course, taken over from them.

At times she wonders if the power-hungry of thing was so for every other rich family or if it was just her parents. They seem to be pursuing it too much even when they already had more than enough.

What will she do now? She had wanted to do her internship in a small clinic where there were many people to attend to, and fewer doctors available for them.

She wanted to experience caring for and saving human lives rather than just working for the money and the fame and that wouldn't be possible if she should get taken by Golden life's medical hospital. Whenever her parents planned things for her, they always do it behind her back and come letting her know after it has already been concluded and by doing so, it will be hard and impossible for her to escape from it.

One thing was certain now, she isn't the little girl of yesterday. She is 22 years old now, and a grown-up. And because of that, she will find her way out of her parent's snares and find her own life.

She is not going to let them win again. Not in this one especially.

She quickly wiped off her tears and got up from the bed into her study room as she carried her laptop to search for any clinic that needed an intern.

She is going to apply to work there by herself, and get there herself too.

The next day as Mrs. Alfred got ready to take her daughter to the hospital as planned, she expected to see her sulking and in low spirits but that was the opposite of what she saw.

She had already gotten dressed in corporate attire and with her credentials in her hands as she walked in her direction.

"How do I look, mum? I hope they would love my appearance 'cause it is one of the ways to get appointed" Ava said beaming with a smile.

" You seem so happy today unlike when I told you about it yesterday. What could be the reason?" Mrs. Alfred asked.

" That's simple, I thought about it, and I found out it was all for good. A very rare opportunity that other doctors are on the lookout for" Ava replied.

" Wow! I'm glad you gave it a good thought. And about your appearance, you have no worries. Just by being my daughter, you have all the glow already" Mrs. Alfred replied.

" Well, I need mine too. I don't always have to depend on you and dad's" Ava replied.

" That's right dear, which is why you are at your best now" Mrs. Alfred replied as they entered the car and the driver zoomed off.

Reaching the hospital, there were a lot of people waiting but that wasn't for them since her mum had already booked an appointment with the owner and so they were let through the interview room.
