After Noah Coldson went downstairs and saw that Sunny Coldson wasn’t there, he let Isabella Ross go upstairs first.
He asked Cooper Coldson, "Has auntie not co back either?"
Cooper Coldson shook his head, "She left with uncle."
"Sigh!" Noah Coldson sighed deeply.
However, Cooper Coldson clearly knew and said, "For such a long ti, did you really think she had forgiven grandfather?"
Noah Coldson understood that Cooper was referring to the old incident when Old Master Coldson had sent Sunny Coldson abroad. He just felt tired and said wearily with his eyes closed, "Who could have thought that, no matter how much love there was before, in the end, it could all turn into debts."
Upstairs, Isabella Ross sat beside the bed and gently called out, "Dad, I’m here."
A clear expression of joy appeared on Old Master Coldson’s face. He looked at Isabella Ross approvingly, "The best decision I made in my life was letting you into the Coldson Family."
"Dad, all these years, following you has been the luckiest thing for your daughter-in-law." Isabella Ross’s nose turned sour, but she still controlled her emotions and didn’t let a single tear fall.
Old Master Coldson thought back to those days, "Kun died early. If it wasn’t for you, the Coldson Family wouldn’t be what it is today."
"Dad, don’t say that. The Coldson Family today was built by you. As long as you are here, it will always be a miracle." Isabella Ross tenderly straightened the covers for Old Master Coldson, "So, you have to live a long life and not indulge in wild thoughts, alright?"
"The Coldson Group we built together has beco a thing of the past." Old Master Coldson said with a sense of pride, "Now, the Coldson Family belongs to Cooper."
"Cooper was also brought up by you." Isabella Ross was slightly moved, "Dad, don’t worry anymore, the Coldson Family can’t do without you."
"Isabella," Old Master Coldson suddenly grabbed Isabella Ross’s hand, "there is sothing that I know you can’t make sense of, and I fear you might regret it."
Isabella Ross paused, then confidently said, "Dad, I know you are talking about Yolanda."
"Isabella, listen to your father for the last ti, whether it’s Yolanda or her unborn child, you must not harm them, understand?"
Isabella Ross didn’t respond.
"Isabella, you must not act impulsively, or else, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Old Master Coldson beca a bit agitated.
"Dad, I understand what you an. Now, both Noah and Cooper have feelings for Yolanda," Isabella Ross chuckled bitterly, "As a mother, I am aware of it. Don’t worry."
"That’s good, that’s very good." Old Master Coldson visibly relaxed.
Isabella Ross hesitated before speaking, "Dad, about Sunny..."
"I know." Old Master Coldson smiled, "Even if I’m gone in the future, Sunny will always be part of the Coldson Family. Don’t treat her poorly."
"Dad, rest assured, we will treat her well."
"Good, you can go now, let Cooper co here." Old Master Coldson forced a smile.
Soon, Cooper Coldson arrived.
"Grandfather, how are you feeling?" Cooper Coldson’s voice was clearly choked up; his affection for Old Master Coldson was the deepest.
He regarded Old Master Coldson not only as a grandfather but also as a father and a ntor, the person who had the most significant influence on his life.
"Grandfather is fine." Old Master Coldson looked steadily at him and slowly asked, "When is the court case with Yolanda?"
Cooper Coldson hadn’t expected Old Master Coldson to ask about this, "Grandfather, you don’t need to worry about our affairs."
"When is it?" Old Master Coldson’s tone beca noticeably urgent.
Cooper Coldson had no choice but to answer, "Tomorrow."
Old Master Coldson sighed deeply, "This ti, you can’t avoid going, can you?"
Cooper Coldson lowered his head and said nothing.
"Cooper, tell grandfather the truth, do you still want to divorce Yolanda?" Old Master Coldson asked sowhat excitedly.
"..." Cooper Coldson paused before slowly speaking, "Grandfather, it’s too late to talk about this now."
"So you don’t want to." Old Master Coldson withdrew his gaze and quietly looked at the ceiling, then after a while, he added, "In my life, grandfather regrets two people, one is your uncle, and the other is you."
"Grandfather..." Cooper Coldson tried to interrupt Old Master Coldson.
Old Master Coldson continued to speak, "Your uncle, grandfather indulged him all his life and provided him a lifeti of riches as a compensation, but you..."
Old Master, visibly agitated, looked back at him, "The debt grandfather owes you, can never be repaid in a lifeti."
"Grandfather, don’t say that. I have never felt that you owe anything. You are the most important person to ." Cooper Coldson firmly grasped Old Master Coldson’s hand, "Grandfather, you need to live on, because your grandson couldn’t bear it if you were gone."
"Silly boy, you have already surpassed the teacher." Old Master Coldson smiled and said, "Handing over the Coldson Group and the Coldson Family people to you, grandfather is completely at ease, yet still can’t help but worry."
He struggled to sit up, touched Cooper Coldson’s head, and added, "Cooper, grandfather will help you one last ti."
"Help with what?" Cooper Coldson asked puzzled.
"Don’t ask anymore." Old Master Coldson lovingly wiped away Cooper Coldson’s tears, "Silly child, don’t cry. This ti, you must seize the opportunity."
"Grandfather..." Cooper Coldson wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Old Master Coldson.
"Alright, grandfather is tired, I need to rest." Old Master Coldson slowly lay down.
Cooper Coldson stood up but hesitated and did not leave imdiately, "Grandfather, are you sure you don’t need to call Yolanda here?"
"No need." Old Master Coldson’s tone was definite, "Grandfather knows the limits."
Cooper Coldson wanted to speak again, but seeing that Old Master Coldson had closed his eyes, he hesitated for a mont and then turned to leave.
Once the door was closed, Old Master Coldson reopened his eyes, and from the bedside table, he reached for his phone and sent a ssage to Yolanda Greenwood.
However, the sending ti was set for noon the next day.
After that, Old Master Coldson lay back down and slowly closed his eyes again.
Isabella Ross, Cooper Coldson, and others stayed awake in the living room all night. Every hour, the caregiver would check on Old Master Coldson’s condition, and to everyone’s surprise, he really continued to breathe as if he were genuinely asleep.
The next morning, Old Master Coldson even drank a bowl of porridge, but he looked sowhat listless and dazed, not responding to anyone who spoke to him.
The caregiver suggested imdiately taking him to the hospital, but Old Master Coldson did not want to go at any cost.
Having no other choice, Cooper Coldson called the hospital to bring an ergency room doctor and so ergency equipnt.
A group of them stayed close to the sickbed.
anwhile, ten minutes before the court session was to start, Yolanda Greenwood tried to call Cooper Coldson and Isabella Ross when neither had appeared, but couldn’t get through either.
Just as she was about to try calling Isabella Ross again, Noah Coldson’s call ca through.
"Are you at the court?" Noah Coldson’s tone sounded strange.
"Yes." Yolanda Greenwood felt an inexplicable unease in her heart, as if sothing very important was slowly vanishing.
"Wait there, I’m coming to find you right away," Noah Coldson said before hanging up.
