In the white room, an elderly figure was lying on a large bed. His face was pale, and he seemed extremely weak.
"Brother... Brother Lin, you're here. Ahem... Ahem..."
A weak voice came from the bed.
Robert stepped forward and looked at the person lying on the bed. He was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. The Master Qin he had known years ago was energetic and high- spirited, but now he looked weak and sickly.
"I really didn't want you to see me like this." The man lying on the bed showed a wry smile. He looked like he was in his eighties, his face was wrinkled like a raisin.
Robert pulled a chair from the side and sat down by the bed, asking, "What did the doctor say?"
"I've only got a few days left in me." Master Qin, who lay feebly on the bed, spoke in a weak voice. "I've lived long enough to be prepared for this. However, there's one last thing that's still on my mind."
"Master Qin, if there's anything I can do for you, I, Robert, will definitely do it for you."
"Haha," Master Qin said with a bitter smile, "it was fate that brought us together. Back then, you were still just a nobody, but your ambitious attitude shocked even me. At that moment, I knew that choosing you would be the right choice. We were about the same age. Although at that time, you didn't accomplish much, I was sure that in the future, you would definitely surpass me. Thinking of it now it seems that I was right. I still remember that little girl that followed by your side, she's the current head of the Lin Family, isn't she?"
"Yes." Robert nodded. "That's my granddaughter, Sylvia."
"That girl is good." There was a look of satisfaction in Master Qin's eyes. "At that time, I even thought about how nice it would be if both our grandchildren could marry each other. Unfortunately, your granddaughter is already married. Otherwise, it might turn out to be a good thing for us. Your granddaughter is an outstanding woman, your grandson-in-law is probably suited for her, right?"
"Henry is a very good lad." Robert replied.
In Robert's heart, there were two important people he was grateful for in his life.
The first was Master Qin who lay in front of him. Without him, the Lin's would never have risen. The second was Henry. Henry helped him get rid of life in the wheelchair and led the Lins to a whole new level, blessing all the descendants of the Lins with a beautiful and prosperous life.
"Haha." Master Qin chuckled. "Robert, I'm truly envious of you. Your descendants are all elites of their generation. Yet mine are constantly fighting over my wealth. They think that I'm old and don't know anything, but even though my sight is fuzzy, I can see clearer than anyone else. The entire Qin Family will be torn apart after my death."
"Thanks to you, the Qin Family can thrive for at least three generations."
"Forget it." Master Qin smiled bitterly. "I know the situation of my family best. You don't need to comfort me anymore. Robert, you really have to help me this time."
"Master Qin, I'm listening."
"Robert, to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed to ask you for help this time." Master Qin got up from the bed with difficulty.
Robert hurriedly got up to support him so that Master Qin could lean against the bed frame and said, "Master Qin, please tell me about it. I, Robert Lin, will never forget your kindness until the day I die!"
Old Master Qin's face was filled with bitterness. "Since you've said so, I will take your word seriously. I'm a dead man anyway, so even if you chose to refuse me today, I would just take it as a joke. I could not care any less."
