In Kathy's opinion, it would be a big deal if Joseph took over the Joseph’s Group for her.
"My brother is really infatuated." Veronica said helplessly.
"Veronica, look at me. How long have I been after you?" Quinn turned Veronica's head.
Veronica stuck out her tongue and teased him, "Only three years. Don’t you feel shame?"
Seeing that they were flirting with each other, Kathy couldn’t help laughing.
Not long after, Joseph rejected many guests and came to sit down beside Kathy.
"Grandpa is very happy tonight." Kathy saw Grandpa was brightly smiling. He was more energetic than
some time ago.
"Well, he likes these lively occasions where his he familiar friends were there."
"Veronica, the exam is coming. How is your review?" Joseph asked her.
In one month, Veronica would take the adult college entrance examination. Quinn has been counseling
her during this time.
"Of course no problem, I have confidence in myself." Veronica confidently said.
"You are worthy of being a member of Joseph family."
When the party came to an end, surprisingly, Julian came in.
Mathew did not invite Julian.
Seeing the rebellious grandson, Mathew turned gloomy.
"Grandpa, I'm here to congratulate you on your birthday." Mathew came in with a gift box in a modest
manner.
Mathew didn't even look at it, "Go out."
Of course Julian didn't leave. He opened the gift box. It was Mathew's favorite liquor.
"Grandpa, I wish you a long life..."
"You want me to die soon!" Mathew interrupted Julian angrily before he finishing speaking.
Guests around them left one after another. Since Mathew was in the middle of the hall, the movement
naturally caused many people to stop.
Recently, Julian started his own company. It was clear that he was working against the Joseph’s family.
And the development momentum of this new company was very good, which made Mathew even more
angry.
"Grandpa, of course I didn't mean that. Even if you don't value me and favor my younger brother, you
are still the most respectable Grandpa in my mind."
Julian said diplomatically. He handed the gift to the waiter and intended to support Mathew.
"My new company recently launches a drug which is conducive to calm down. Grandpa, I think you
really need it." With that, Joseph ordered his assistant to bring the medicine up.
Mathew looked at him indifferently and threw the drug as soon as he took it.
"It’s you make me angry! You go out. I would calm down!"
With his face gradually paling, Mathew gasped for breath and his hands on crutches were trembling.
Julian turned a deaf ear to that and mocked, "Grandpa, I am your grandson. How could you..."
Before he finished speaking, Mathew had fainted on the ground. Joseph and Kathy rushed over. There
was chaos in the banquet hall. Someone immediately called an ambulance.
Joseph quickly gave Mathew first aid. But Mathew had suffered heart failure early. He couldn’t be
stimulated.
Julian was also a little panicked. He didn't expect his grandfather... to fall in a faint.
Kneeling down to check Grandpa's situation, he was kicked away by Joseph.
"Julian, if something happens to Grandpa, I immediately smash your new company!" Joseph's voice
was cold as if it came from hell.
Julian couldn't help trembling. His new company... couldn't be destroyed.
"Joseph, unless you can do that!" Julian said angrily.
Joseph ignored him, but his fierce look still made Julian scare.
He knew that this younger brother was a man of the means.
Half an hour later in the hospital.
Joseph put on a white coat to participate in the first aid. Kathy was blocked outside.
Quinn and Veronica rushed to the hospital quickly. Veronica kept muttering, "How dare Julian speak to
Grandpa like this. If something happens to Grandpa, I will kill him!"
Quinn hugged Veronica to comfort her. Even though Veronica cursed like this, she was very worried.
In a few moments, her eyes turned red and tears began to shed.
Quinn felt even more distressed, so he patted Veronica's shoulder lightly. He was also scared.
In the past few years, Mathew had suffered a few serious illnesses. His body has long been worse than
before. If something really happened...
No one dared to think about the results.
Time passed by. The red light in the emergency room didn’t go out until one hour later.
Joseph came out last. Kathy and Veronica walked to him immediately and asked, "How is Grandpa?"
"Already out of danger." Joseph replied gravely.
But Mathew's physical condition was not good.
Kathy walked to him, interdigitated with Joseph's big palm and comforted him, "Grandpa will be fine."
"Yes." Joseph took off the mask, revealing pale face.
Kathy had never seen him like this. Worry and fear made him look like a different person.
He has always been calm, but in the face of birth, old age, sickness and death, he was just an ordinary
person as well.
Holding Kathy tightly, Joseph muttered unsteadily, "Grandpa's heart stopped for a second just now."
With tears shed, Kathy could understand Joseph.
"Well, now Grandpa is fine, Joseph..."
Outside the ward, Kathy and Joseph were standing in the corridor. Veronica was sitting by the bed and
couldn't help crying all the time. Quinn's comfort didn't help.
After a long while, Joseph entered the room.
Veronica looked at him through a mist of tears. Joseph drew a tissue to wipe away tears for her.
"Quinn, take Veronica back. I will be here tonight."
"I’m not going. When will Grandpa wake up?" Veronica asked nervously.
"Tonight. Now that Grandpa is over the hump, he is fine." Joseph frowned, tired and tense.
Veronica didn't want to leave. She eagerly looked at her brother, "I’m not going."
"You have been exhausted by staying up late to review. I will take care of Grandpa."
Veronica looked down, and at this moment, Quinn had pushed her wheelchair out.
"Joseph, inform us immediately if anything happens." He said.
Joseph nodded. The ward became quiet. He sat down beside his grandfather.
Kathy looked at Joseph from a distance. She also planned to stay in the hospital tonight.
But Joseph didn't give her this opportunity.
"John is here. You go back to school."
"No, I want to stay." Kathy said stubbornly, and sat down on the sofa.
Joseph walked towards her and said in a deep voice, "It's fine for me to stay with Grandpa. Go back to
have a rest. Be good."
"No. I want to be with Grandpa and you." Kathy got her back up. No one could persuade her.
"Joseph, we will stay here with Grandpa, unless you go to rest with me." Kathy resolutely said.
