Zhuo Zi'ang said cautiously, "It's alright... He fainted once. We rushed him to the hospital and managed to save him. The doctor said... he can't endure any more stress."
Kang Chen asked, "Where is he now?"
"Staying at the hospital, the butler is there taking care of him."
Kang Chen sighed deeply, clutching his chest. It hurt terribly, his heart throbbing with pain from the stress.
He leaned his body entirely against the backrest, trying to ease himself a little.
"Did... did he see Ming Mei?"
Zhuo Zi'ang shook his head. "No, the old man's health... isn't good..."
Kang Chen closed his eyes. The old man was already so advanced in age; he shouldn't have to endure this kind of blow again.
After a while, he said to Zhuo Zi'ang, "Let's go to the hospital first."
"Alright."
As a son, he had never fulfilled his responsibilities.
As a husband, he had failed to protect his wife.
As a father, he was an even bigger failure.
