The Spoiled Girl - Chapter 1555 Pacified
With food still in his mouth, Scott stared blankly at Taylor. Feeling embarrassed, he quickly switched his gaze to Louis. Slowly, he said, “Brother, you and Taylor shouldn’t stay with me all the time… Ahem…”
Louis noticed that Scott was having a hard time swallowing his food, so he handed him a glass of water. Right after that, he replied, “Slow down. Let’s talk about that after dinner.” Taylor also handed a glass of water to Scott, but he just ignored her. When Louis took notice of his brother’s reaction, he became worried.
“Scott, did someone say something to you?” Louis asked while thinking of the people his brother could’ve possibly encountered. He quickly realized that, apart from him and Taylor, the only one that interacted with Scott was the nurse.
“No, I saw something on TV,” Scott uttered while pouting like a little squirrel. A few seconds later, he cautiously added, “The nurse even told me the same thing I watched.”
“What? Don’t believe those people. “Scott, you’re my brother and I’ll gladly take care of you for the rest of my life. That is what it means to be a family. If you’re worried about me, you don’t have to be. I have this wonderful woman, Taylor, to help me,” Louis wholeheartedly promised in hopes that his brother would stop worrying.
A few moments later, Taylor placed her hand on Scott’s shoulder and gently patted him. She looked into his eyes and sincerely said, “Scott, don’t worry about what other people say. Your brother is right. We’ll take care of you no matter what happens.”
The couple’s kindness caused Scott to ponder. While looking at their caring gaze, he realized that the couple’s kindness towards him was the only reason he could trust others again. After a while, he came to a decision. He nodded in agreement and let out a sigh of relief.
When Scott finally settled down, they continued eating their lunch with happy faces and laughter. When the couple decided to leave, it was already late in the evening. The weather was quite pleasant compared with the past days. And the cool breeze made everyone want to enjoy the outside air. With that in mind, the two of them decided to walk home, just like they were coming home from the park.
“Stop worrying about it. I promise you that Scott will be back to normal in no time,”
Taylor uttered when she noticed the concerned look on Louis’s face. Louis’s frown quickly turned to a smile when he heard her words. He truly believed in her promise and tried to look forward to their better future.
“When are you going to start the second part of Scott’s treatment? I would like to know, so I can free up my schedule that day and join you.”
Taylor didn’t need to think about his question since she had been planning it for a long tim
do any harm to the foundation of the Ke Group, you can do whatever you want! I believe in your abilities and who you are! I only ask that you believe in me and my judgment of you.”
“Father…” Louis didn’t know how to describe his feelings at the moment. He was so overwhelmed with every word that had just come out of his father’s mouth.
Hunk, who had a kind and confident expression on his face, knew that he had made the right decision. The Ke Family must be handed over to a trustworthy person, and that person was none other than Louis!
A few minutes later, Hunk started speaking in a soft, mellow voice. “Louis, don’t forget about Emily. She’s my only daughter, so I’m trusting you to keep her safe. I hope you can help me take good care of her for the rest of her life, even when I’m no longer here.”
Hunk’s foreboding words brought a subtle frown on Louis’s face. He replied, “Father, what are you talking about? Don’t talk like you’re going to die. I’m sure you’ll live a very long life!”
Even if Louis was enthusiastic when he spoke, Hunk had no words to respond. He could only smile in front of his son and hope for the best.
He knew he was old. It was normal for people to get old and die of illness. He knew it was better to accept reality rather than run from it.
A long silence followed after the father’s and son’s heartfelt conversation. They couldn’t think of anything else to say. Finally, Hunk realized that Louis would probably be tired from work. As a result, they ended the night with Hunk telling Louis to rest.
After returning to his room, Louis contacted Hunk’s private doctor. After making sure that Hunk was in good health, he let out a sigh of relief. Until then, he had had a worrisome thought that Hunk was hiding something from him…
Luckily, it seemed that he was just thinking about it too much. After rubbing his eyes, he went straight to bed.
