Chapter 99 Alex Gets His Certificates
Janet was shocked and went to grab the box from Alex.
Alex put it away from her and said, "haha, not like this, mom. You\'ve to guess it first."
Janet rolled her eyes. "My son has become so stubborn lately. Does my opinion even matter now?"
Janet could pretty much guess it at this point. This guessing game was just an excuse, her son was going to buy the houses either way.
Alex chuckled and gave her the box. There was no need to play the guessing game anymore as he could figure out that his mother already knew everything.
Taking a look at it, Janet felt surprised despite having an idea of what was inside.
In the next instant however, her eyes moistened up as she picked up a certificate properly put within a frame. There were more things in the box, but Janet held the main thing in her hands and took it out.
Her hands trembled and turning to her husband, she said, "J-J-Josh…"
Josh rushed to Janet\'s side to comfort her, but what followed was him tearing up as soon as he saw the frame she was holding.
Tears came out of his eyes even before his wife.
"J-J-Janet… our boy… he… he did it!" Josh wiped his tears and said in a hoarse voice, trying to not break down.
This thing here… this was not just a simple piece of parchment…
This thing… It was a solid proof of the years of hard work their child had put in.
They weren\'t with him when he attended college, but the countless sleepless nights he had spent studying when with them, they knew that he had worked hard.
Really very hard.
They still vividly remembered the days of him preparing for his entrance exams, his high school exams. The amount of coffee he used to consume, the number of hours he would sleep, and the number of pens he finished while studying.
Josh and Janet had watched him closely. While he worked hard, even they did their jobs to support him as much as possible.
They vowed to become his biggest supporters when watching their son\'s diligence.
Josh and Janet took on jobs of alternate timings to ensure they were with Alex and gave him everything he needed to study well.
They didn\'t ask him to do chores, didn\'t ask him to even make coffee for himself. They provided him with everything and helped him study better.
Alex was obviously aware of the sacrifices they made. This couple, even though they looked really happy and carefree as if there was not a problem, only he knew the struggles they went through before he went to med school.
It was for this reason that he never gave up pursuing the medical degree, even if he had to suffer through many hardships.
Countless people bullied him, he was overworked, his legs refused to do fourteen hours of hospital rounds, his body refused the pain, and the mental pressure was quite a lot to bear.
But… all of it was worth it.
The faces of his parents right now, it was the same in his past life as well.
They cried in a similar fashion during the graduation ceremony in his past life and cried some more after they got together with him.
They also…
"Alexxxxxx…" Janet cried out and hugged Alex, showering his face with tons of kisses. "My son… you did it… you really did it…"
Josh tightly hugged Alex and Janet from the side, placing their heads on his chest and rubbing their arms.
He was quite tall and burly, easily being able to?accommodate Alex and Janet in his embrace.
When asked why he still liked to work out, his reason was to stay healthy, but truly, the main reason to have such a big build was to hug his wife and child together.
He wanted to be a major support to them, but whenever Alex accomplished something, he would be the first to start crying.
His emotions and his body didn\'t match each other.
However, he managed to act as a support today, despite still crying together with Janet.
Alex could only smile awkwardly and hug his parents back, putting up with the same shower of kisses like his past life from his mother.
He was a grown up now and such a thing was quite awkward to have.
But he didn\'t voice out his complaints and let his parents pour out their hearts.
Melissa watched from the side with a loving expression on her face. Last time she had seen this from far away, now she had the front row seat to her husband and his family\'s interactions.
"Mel, why are you sitting there alone? Come here." Josh, who could look at Melissa while hugging the two, said while wiping his tears.
…right. It wasn\'t just a front row seat, but she was fully involved in this too.
Melissa went to the three and hugged Alex and Janet from the other side, giggling softly.
The butler Linc, she stood in the kitchen and glared at the Gray family\'s interaction.
Squinting her eyes, Linc thought to herself, \'what\'s with the drama there?\'
If Alex had heard her thoughts, Linc definitely wouldn\'t be able to sit without pain for two days straight.
Ignoring the Jinx as usual, Alex shared the happy moment with his family.
Breaking the hug, Janet wiped her face and with a big smile, said, "I am so proud of you, honey."
Josh ruffled Alex\'s hair and said with a similar smile, "our little champ isn\'t little anymore, huh?"
"What are you saying, dad? I\'m nowhere similar in size as you." Alex joked, making Josh laugh out loud.
Alex didn\'t say anything wrong though. He was probably half the size of his dad.
Puberty had hit him really late and his growing phase wasn\'t over yet. He vividly recalled how many mistook him as a high schooler even in his third year of med school.
Although there were many seniors and teachers who hit on him for being such a cute boy, the fact that his growth occurred late was still present.
On the other hand though, his father was much bigger than an average person in build. If he ever went to the Netherlands, he would easily blend in with the Dutch giants and would still be above average.
That\'s just how tall and big he was.
And just like him, Alex would eventually grow tall like him too.
Not as tall as him though, since his mother\'s height wasn\'t as high and he had her genetics too.
His father was 6\'6 at present and his mother was 5\'8. Last time Alex had checked his height in his previous life, he was around 6\'2, right in the middle of the two.
"We should have a party." Melissa suddenly chimed in and said, making Janet\'s ears perk up.
"Yes, yes! We should, we should," replied Janet with a happy smile.
"Hmm… I say that we…"
His wife, his mother, and his father all got to discussing the party while Alex sorted through the contents of the box.
He hadn\'t seen everything in there before and now was going through all the papers present.
They were congratulatory messages, the actual MD program\'s certificate his mother was holding, the residency certificate, the board\'s license certificate, and hospital\'s privilege certificate.
Alex had not given the board\'s examination to get this certificate since it was optional as well as the exam itself was really rigorous.
But it seems these guys had gone through the lengths of talking to the board and granting him the certificate.
Alex thought it was probably due to Nicole. It was only her who knew that he didn\'t possess a license yet and couldn\'t practice.
In any case, he was happy for getting this and decided to thank Nicole for her help.
Alex then looked through for any remaining contents and found a handwritten letter.
It was of the Dean. He first congratulated him and then requested Alex to come back to the college and have a chat with him on a few things.
As if knowing that Alex wouldn\'t pay him any heed, the Dean also said, "You\'ll get some great rewards if you come and chat."
Then the Dean hinted that the reward was something related to the Blesseds, making Alex feel slightly interested.
He kept the letter in his wallet and decided to meet the Dean later when he was done with his stuff. It wouldn\'t hurt to just chat and reap some rewards anyway.
Putting the wallet back in his back pocket, Alex went to the dining table and conversed with his parents over breakfast.
They all came to a consensus that a party was a must and that it\'ll be held in a five-star hotel, not at their home.
Now all that was left was to organize the party and send invitations. Alex picked up the former job while his parents handled the latter.
Finishing his breakfast, he went out with Linc to do the job given to him.
