Female Novel
Chapter 1779
Ian took a deep breath. “Perhaps there’ve been too many things going on recently. I don’t know howthings turned out when Leah caused havoc at the hospital that day. He wasn’t doing that well when wemet him back then, but I’m sure his health only deteriorated after losing his temper in response toLeah’s provocation.”
What Ian said made sense—even a young man could get a stroke from losing his temper, let alone anold man like Bryce. Ian shut his eyes for a while before he spoke. “Alright. Let’s go to bed now. We’llsee if anything happens tomorrow morning.”
Cindy wasn’t too worried about matters with Bryce, so she fell asleep after a short while and remainedasleep until the following day. When she woke up, Ian was no longer by her side. She sat upright andpulled the curtains open to glance out the window. It was still early in the morning, and the sun wasn’ttoo bright yet. There were barely any residents strolling around the housing area when she looked atthe 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, andalthough he acted as if he didn’t care, he was secretly a soft-hearted individual. When Cindy finishedshowering 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 upat 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 checkon Bryce in the morning but highlighted that Bryce’s vital signs weren’t too ideal. Although the doctordidn’t mention that Bryce was close to death, the doctor did point out that Bryce was probably in a lot ofsuffering since he was conscious. “If the family members insist on keeping him alive, all we can do is toprovide him medication and equipment to keep him alive,” the doctor told Sean. novelbin
After his conversation with the doctor, Sean called to ask Ian for his opinion. Ian didn’t have much of anopinion, and he was reluctant to make any comments as well. After all, Ian had never been close toBryce, so he felt like it wouldn’t be right for him to come forward and voice his opinions during suchtimes. So, Ian decided that he would go along with whatever Sean decided on. Ultimately, Sean coulddo 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 tohave woken up some time in the middle of the night, but he didn’t seem too clear-headed then. Hesimply 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 ashort period. Ian thought that Bryce would stop pretending and return to his usual life once he wasdone dealing with Leah. However, Bryce’s initial plan to act sick had somehow gone out of hand, andhe had ended up actually being sick. It seemed like everyone who knew Bryce had expected more fromhis physical capabilities. But regardless of how strong and powerful he had been, he still had to facethe weakness of the shell he was living in. It didn’t matter how powerful his thoughts and intentionswere—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 atthe hospital. Although Sean hadn’t explicitly told Ian anything, Ian could sense that Sean wanted him tovisit and take care of their father. Regardless of how Ian perceived his relationship with Bryce to be atthis 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 ifthis appearance could be used—it could also be saved and used some other time.”
