Female Novel
Chapter 1777
The doctor had used a bunch of medical terms that Sean barely understood. All Sean knew was thatBryce wasn’t doing too well. When they looked back at Bryce’s condition during his time at the hospital,it seemed like Bryce had been pretty healthy. If there had to be a reason for Bryce’s suddendeterioration in health, it was probably due to the recent issues he faced with Leah. It was possible thatBryce’s body couldn’t handle the rage he felt toward the woman.
Bryce was no longer a young man—with his increasing age came weaker health and lower capacitiesto handle stress. Sean couldn’t exactly find it in him to pity the old man—Bryce was partiallyresponsible for the situation he was in, after all. The only thing Sean could do was to provide as muchmedical attention as he could. Everything else would depend on the doctors.
Right then, Aurora lowered her gaze to look at Bryce. He had already seemed old and weak when shelast saw him, but he looked even paler and frailer with the oxygen mask covering his face. After theprevious talk she had with Bryce, Aurora had actually moved past all the things that had happenedbetween them. However, after she heard what Leah said, she realized that she still felt someresentment toward Bryce. However, her resentment had nothing to do with herself —it had more to dowith Ian. So, Aurora didn’t feel too sorry for Bryce even when she saw him in such a state. She simplyshook her head while sighing. “Did something trigger his temper just now? Why did this happen sosuddenly?”
Sean shook his head—he didn’t know what had happened. When Sean got off work, he had received acall from Bryce. Bryce told Sean that he wasn’t feeling too well and asked Sean to visit him, but Brycegot a seizure before the call even ended.
Sean checked with the nurses earlier, but the nurses explained that no one had visited Bryce that day.It had been an uneventful day for Bryce, so the only possible explanation Sean could think of was thatnovelbin
Bryce must have been ruminating about the recent incidents. Perhaps he got mad after thinking aboutthose things over and over again. I can’t think of any other possibility, Sean thought.
Throughout their conversation, Cindy kept her mouth shut. She had no comment on this matter. TheMorgan Family was a complicated mess, and she had never been exposed to such matters, so shedecided that she shouldn’t talk much.
Sean spoke up after a while. “The doctor said that he should be able to wake up tomorrow. Why don’tyou drop by again tomorrow? I’m sure he has some stuff to say to you.” Bryce had mentioned Ian’sname twice during his call with Sean earlier. Although Bryce hadn’t made any direct requests, Seanknew that Bryce wished to see Ian.
Ian nodded. “I haven’t booked my flight, so I can stay for a few more days if needed.”
“We’ll see how it goes,” Sean said with a sigh. “If things look good, then you can go on with your usualschedule. If things look bad, then…” Sean paused for a moment before he went on. “You might have tostay for a while longer.”
Ian completely understood what Sean was implying—Sean was saying that Bryce might pass away ifhe encountered any further health complications. The Morgan Family was a reputable household—even though they weren’t the most respected people at that point in time, they would still have to host agrand funeral if anything were to happen to Bryce. Even though Ian wasn’t close to his father, he wouldstill have to show up. “Okay. I got it. We’ll see how it goes,” Ian said with a nod.
After a short while, Ian decided that Bryce wasn’t going to wake up anytime soon. Out of courtesy, Ianstayed for a while more before he left. Ian figured that Sean would stay the night at the hospital, so hereminded Sean to call him if anything happened in the middle of the night.
Sean hesitated for a while after he sent his visitors to the door. “Did the two of them contact you?”
Ian knew who Sean was referring to. “Sally came to see me previously, but I never heard from Simon.”
“Tsk, tsk. Both of them disappeared after that fight. I asked the housekeeper about it, but thehousekeeper said that neither one of them has returned. I don’t know what the two of them arethinking,” Sean uttered.
