Four hours later, Old Master Shaw was wheeled out of the emergency room. Marcus' parents, as well as Marcus and Yvonne, were waiting outside the door. Gloria, Sabrina, and Sebastian were also at the side.
Marcus immediately stepped forward, grabbed the doctor's arm. "What is the situation with my grandfather?" There was a sense of worry in his voice.
The doctor sighed and shook his head. It seemed like he had made a tough decision before he said to Marcus, "Old Master Shaw is already very old and is already considered to be at the end of his journey. He is expected to live for another week at best. All of you . may prepare for his funeral."
"No!" Marcus instantly burst into tears. " Grandpa..."
Dad..."
"Dad, you have always been very healthy..."
Marcus' parents rushed forward and wept. Gloria, who was nearby, bit her lips as she watched everything. To be honest, she was feeling guilty at that moment. She felt she should not have said such provoking words to such an old man.
When she saw the family cry so hard and that the old man was still unconscious, Gloria stepped forward. Tm...sorry."
Marcus immediately got up and looked at Gloria. "Aunt Gloria..."
"I'm sorry," Gloria said again.
At that moment, her brother and his wife also got up to look at Gloria. Gloria raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips miserably, and then said, "I will take responsibility for infuriating the old man to such a state that he can’t continue living anymore. No matter if you were to hit me, curse at me, or take me to court, I will accept it all.
However, don't implicate my daughter in this matter. She has nothing to do with this at all."
"What are you talking about, Aunt Gloria? This has nothing to do with you!" Marcus immediately said.
Gloria's brother looked at her. "Gloria, our father is dying of old age. Even if you don't argue with him, his life is already at its limit...This has nothing to do with you."
"Thank you..." Gloria said.
At that moment, Old Master Shaw slowly woke up. "Where...am I?" Old Master Shaw's voice was very weak.
"Dad!" "Dad, you're awake?"
