Ian took a deep breath. “Perhaps there’ve been too many things going on recently. I don’t know how
things turned out when Leah caused havoc at the hospital that day. He wasn’t doing that well when we
met him back then, but I’m sure his health only deteriorated after losing his temper in response to
Leah’s provocation.”
What Ian said made sense—even a young man could get a stroke from losing his temper, let alone an
old man like Bryce. Ian shut his eyes for a while before he spoke. “Alright. Let’s go to bed now. We’ll
see if anything happens tomorrow morning.”
Cindy wasn’t too worried about matters with Bryce, so she fell asleep after a short while and remained
asleep until the following day. When she woke up, Ian was no longer by her side. She sat upright and
pulled the curtains open to glance out the window. It was still early in the morning, and the sun wasn’t
too bright yet. There were barely any residents strolling around the housing area when she looked at
the grounds outside.
Once Cindy walked out of the room, she spotted Ian standing by the balcony and talking on the phone.
She could guess who he was talking to. Although Ian appeared cold and heartless on the outside, and
although he acted as if he didn’t care, he was secretly a soft-hearted individual. When Cindy finished
showering and getting ready, she walked out to find that Ian had gotten off the call.
He was surprised to see her awake when he returned from the balcony. “It’s still early. Why are you up
at this hour?” he asked.
She went over to hug him. “You’re up early too. What is it? Did something happen at the hospital?”
Ian shook his head. “No. I just gave the hospital a call because I was worried.” Apparently, Sean had
woken up earlier that morning and was already in the ward with Bryce. The doctor had gone to check
on Bryce in the morning but highlighted that Bryce’s vital signs weren’t too ideal. Although the doctor
didn’t mention that Bryce was close to death, the doctor did point out that Bryce was probably in a lot of
suffering since he was conscious. “If the family members insist on keeping him alive, all we can do is to
provide him medication and equipment to keep him alive,” the doctor told Sean.
After his conversation with the doctor, Sean called to ask Ian for his opinion. Ian didn’t have much of an
opinion, and he was reluctant to make any comments as well. After all, Ian had never been close to
Bryce, so he felt like it wouldn’t be right for him to come forward and voice his opinions during such
times. So, Ian decided that he would go along with whatever Sean decided on. Ultimately, Sean could
do whatever he wanted, and no one would resent him for his decision.
Cindy looked at Ian with her arms around his waist. “Is Mr. Morgan awake now?”
Ian shook his head. “No. He hasn’t shown any signs of consciousness,” Ian replied. “He seemed to
have woken up some time in the middle of the night, but he didn’t seem too clear-headed then. He
simply opened his eyelids without shifting his pupils, and he shut his eyelids after one minute or less.”
No one had expected Bryce to experience such a huge change in his physical health within such a
short period. Ian thought that Bryce would stop pretending and return to his usual life once he was
done dealing with Leah. However, Bryce’s initial plan to act sick had somehow gone out of hand, and
he had ended up actually being sick. It seemed like everyone who knew Bryce had expected more from
his physical capabilities. But regardless of how strong and powerful he had been, he still had to face
the weakness of the shell he was living in. It didn’t matter how powerful his thoughts and intentions
were—nothing would work if his body didn’t cooperate.
“Should we go to the hospital later?” Cindy asked after a while.
Ian nodded. “We can go before lunch.” Sean had to go to work soon, and he wouldn’t be able to stay at
the hospital. Although Sean hadn’t explicitly told Ian anything, Ian could sense that Sean wanted him to
visit and take care of their father. Regardless of how Ian perceived his relationship with Bryce to be at
this moment, he couldn’t bring himself to reject Sean during such a time.
Cindy nodded. “You should do that. However, I think you should contact the company. It’d be great if
this appearance could be used—it could also be saved and used some other time.”
