The Thompson family was quite surprised to see Arnold. Mila’s eyes widened, and she rushed to him. “Why are you here?!”
“Uncle Wyatt is in trouble. I would be here even if I had to crawl, Aunt Mila.” Arnold’s delicate face was covered in sweat as he raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Mila felt a pang of guilt and lowered her eyes. She had been the one to drive him away, causing a scene with the Larson family and making Arnold feel humiliated in front of the Thompson family.
However, seeing the Thompson family in trouble, Arnold had come to help immediately, risking severe punishment from the Larson family. Clearly, his feelings for Asher were sincere.
But—
If his true feelings would drag them both into a pit of no return, she would rather Arnold’s interest in Asher be temporary.
“Arnold! How is my father?!” Bella and the rest of the Thompson family gathered around, their eyes full of anxiety.
“My next words may be hard to hear,” Arnold said, his complex gaze pausing on Asher’s stern face before turning to the others. “Chairman Thompson’s condition is not optimistic. My suggestion is to stop all his work and take him overseas for further treatment. He should focus on recovery, and there may still be a chance for improvement.”
“Not optimistic... What do you mean by that?” Bella’s heart felt like it was collapsing.
The Thompson family was in a panic. Celeste, Amelia, and Sasha were already in tears.
“Chairman Thompson’s incontinence is a side effect of the medication.”
“Wyatt only took the medication twice. How could the side effects be so severe?!” Mila, gripped by anxiety, was barely standing with Ralph’s support.
