Jonas and June's mood were down after hearing about Justin’s incident and they hurried to the hospital.
Justin's assistant and a few senior executives were standing anxiously outside the hospital corridor waiting for Justin’s operation to finish. Justin was sent to the ICU right after the operation for further observation. His current situation was not optimistic, he could not even have another surgery as he was too weak.
"You're finally here, Mr. Li. The doctor said that he is in a critical period." The assistant updated Jonas with a worried face.
Jonas's face froze and he clenched his fists in response to this news. He begged the doctor to let him see Justin.
The doctor allowed him to enter the ICU. June on the other hand was also worried and hoping that Justin could get better soon.
Justin was lying on the hospital bed with tubes connected to his body and his face was pale. His condition was critical and it seemed as if he did not have much time left.
"Justin." Jonas sat beside the bed and held his big brother's hand tightly.
Justin seemed to have heard his voice and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Jonas, you're here." Justin's eyes lit up when he saw Jonas.
"I will find the best doctor for you so you must stay strong for me. Everything will be fine." Jonas's dark eyes were filled with anxiety and concern.
"I'm afraid I can’t wait. Don't waste your time on me." Justin had already lost the will to live.
"No, you will be alright. Nowadays medicine is so advanced, I believe they are capable of treating you." Jonas's eyes were red as he held Justin's hand tightly.
"Skylar has never loved me sincerely. Jonas, you knew about this, didn't you?" Justin asked. He wanted to find out Skylar's true feelings, otherwise he couldn’t pass away peacefully.
Jonas was startled by his question and could not look into his big brother's eyes. He lowered his head and said in a guilty tone, "I'm sorry Justin, for hiding the truth from you."
"I'm too stupid. I could have found out about it but I was busy deceiving myself." Justin mocked himself, his face revealed a hint of bitterness.
"Skylar does not deserve your love. She stayed by your side for your money and also to take revenge on me. She is a very ambitious and sly woman." Jonas could finally tell his big brother Skylar's true colors.
"I knew when I saw how she was so against me distributing my property to you and Penny. Last night, she forced me to change my will, but I didn't agree. This irritated her and she shouted at me. At that very moment, I barely recognised her, she was like a complete stranger." Justin said sadly.
"Is she the reason why you were admitted to the hospital? She must pay for this.'' Jonas gritted his teeth.
"I’m not mad at the fact that she stayed with me for money but it was because she played with my feelings. I've been in the business world for so many years, yet I failed to see her hypocrisy." The more Justin said, the weaker his voice became. In the end, he seemed to have used up all his strength and he closed his eyes gradually.
The doctor next to Jonas said in a hurry manner, "The patient needs to rest now. You can resume your conversation after he wakes up."
"Okay, please do take good care of Justin." Jonas looked at Justin, who had fainted due to exhaustion. His heart ached for him, but there was nothing he could do.
June was waiting nervously outside the ICU. She clenched her fingers and waited patiently.
She knew the situation was pessimistic when she saw Jonas’s face, he was gloomy and down.
"I'm going to get even with Skylar," He took out his phone and dialed Skylar's number as he said this.
Skylar usually ignored other people’s phone calls, except Jonas’s. She picked up instantly when she saw it was Jonas who contacted her. "Jonas, you finally took the initiative to call me. Did your brother say something to you? If yes, has he cooled down yet? As long as he is not angry with me anymore, I will immediately go back to him."
Skylar had turned off her mobile phone and went to another city alone to take a vacation. The last time she ran away from home, Justin sent people to find her within a day and bought her lots of gifts to calm her down.
