BXBX NOVEL Chapter 276: Just paper
276 Just paper
One hour passed.
Two hours passed.
Three hours passed.
Sebastian had gotten all impatient not to see any movement in Raymond's body even after three hours. So he immediately went out to check with the doctor. But while he was gone, Raymond slowly twitched his hand.
Then his fingers moved and upon seeing it the nurse immediately paged the doctor.
David rushed to his side, his eyes all eager to see him wake up, his ears all eager to hear him say his name.
Slowly opening his eyes, he looked at everyone and everything around. Sebastian stayed behind the doctor, afraid that his face might anger him in some way
He scanned the entire room, with his weak eyes, which were barely able to open up and uttered one word, before succumbing to sleep again,
"Akira !!!".
Hearing that David looked at Sebastian as if he was asking him for justification, but Sebastian decided to ignore it and he moved away from his bed.
"I think now you have understood that more than she needs Raymond, he needs her", saying that David took out his phone to call Akira up, but Sebastian took the phone away from his hands and said,
"I will try as long as it is possible for me", saying that Sebastian disconnected the call.

After completing all the work at the office, Akira went to Katherine's place as promised.
"You are here on time".
"What am I in for?"
"Shawn has a day off and he spent it preparing some exquisite Mediterranean dishes for us".
"Wao, Shawn, is there anything else that we should know about you?"
"Well, it's not much", saying that Shwan kept a large bowl of Mediterranean Grilled Chicken with Dill Greek Yogurt Sauce and Fattoush Salad in the dining area.
"Damn it looks so good".
"Then dig in, what are you waiting for?"
The trio started hogging the chicken and salad while engaging themselves in friendly banter.
"By the way what was it that you wanted to show me?", Akira asked looking at Katherine.
Hearing that Katherine's face became all serious and she looked at Shawn, who covered her hand with his own and mouthed,
"It's ok".
Katherine nodded and went upstairs.
"What is going on guys. You are freaking me out".
"It's nothing serious Akira. Don't panic. It's something that we had been meaning to do since long", Shawn said and took a sip of the Chardonnay.
Katherine came down with a file and a small box in her hand.
"I know its hard on you and I know its rude of me, but I think now it belongs to you", saying that Katherine handed Akira a file.
It was not just any file. It was a file that transferred the ownership of the remaining 49% shares of Delphie to Akira which was enlisted under Raymond's name.
"Why are you doing this?", Akira asked with her hands almost trembling while flipping the pages of the file.
"I should have done it sooner, but somehow deep down, I didn't want to lose any hope. But now I think it's unfair of me to be guarding the 49% of the shares when I haven't even made a dime. It's all your and Raymond's hard work. It's wrong on my part to inherit it just because he was my brother".
"But it's more than 40 million USD, Katherine. Are you out of your wits?"
"You and I, we both know by now that money doesn't matter. It can't buy the happiness you desire. I want you to take my brother's dream and transform it into the way you would like to."
"But I can't accept it. It's way too much".
"For me, it's just paper Akira. Just paper".
