Chapter 862
“Both of you, be quiet!” Leaning on his cane, filled with both anger and sadness, Jordan stood between the two, shaking his head helplessly.
“You guys are family, yet each bent on destroying the other.
How did I raise such callous monsters? I can’t believe this is who you’ve become.
Family bond? It’s a total failure!”
Jordan’s fury ignited a bout of violent coughing.
His voice, already hoarse, now rasped like the sound of sawing wood, his entire body quivering with rage.
“You… You are…”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Before completing his sentence, he suddenly collapsed to the floor.
“Grandpa!”
“Dad!”
Later that night, at Morcastle Hospital.
After a long while, the red light of the emergency room went out.
The hospital director emerged, pushing the door wide open.
Domenic, who had been waiting anxiously outside the door, hurriedly approached the hospital director to ask about Jordan’s condition.
The hospital director looked at Domenic, then shifted his gaze to Rupert standing behind him, shaking his head and letting out a heavy sigh.
“The patient, dealing with hypertension and heart disease, must steer clear of stress.
Luckily, we managed to revive him this time, but ignoring his health in the future could have deadly consequences.
As his son and grandson, it’s important for both of you to try to keep him calm, so he doesn’t get more upset.
”
Domenic felt his heart sink with guilt.
He asked again, “Is my grandpa awake yet?”
The hospital director answered, “He’s still unconscious, but we’re hopeful he’ll wake up soon.
For now, he’s out of danger, so please be patient with us.
”
After hearing this, Domenic let out a sigh of relief and thanked him.
Rupert, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, chimed in, “You are really something.
Back for just a few hours and you’ve got Grandpa hospitalized.
Quite the talent you’ve got there.
”
Domenic gave Rupert a cold glare, his expression icy as he said sharply, “Wasn’t this what you wanted all along?”
“Ridiculous!” Rupert was left fuming after hearing his words.
Carole hurried to the hospital when she heard about Jordan’s collapse.
Seeing the tension, she stepped in to calm things down.
“Mr.
Walsh is going to need some time to recover.
I’ll stay here, so you two can head back to what you were doing.
I’ll call you when he wakes up.
”
Carole’s timely arrival gave Rupert an easy way out.
Without wasting any time, he quickly gave Carole some last-minute instructions, then shot Domenic a stern look before storming out.
Seeing Domenic standing still, Carole secretly wished he would stay with her, but she kept a calm manner.
“You’ve only just come back, Domenic.
You must be tired.
Go on, take a rest.
”
With some projects gone, Domenic had a lot to do.
He looked at Carole and whispered, “Take care of my grandpa.
Let me know if anything happens.
