Everyone nodded repeatedly at Chandler Rhodes’ words.
The old man was most concerned about this grandson, always thinking fondly of him, and whenever he talked about him, a wide smile would break across his face, revealing nothing but joy.
Now, upon hearing the old man had an accident, the grandson ca imdiately. If the old man knew, he would truly be very happy.
It’s just...
No one knows if the old man can wake up.
Everyone was worried and uneasy.
Poe Vaughn spoke up, "How long has grandpa been inside?"
Chandler Rhodes heard his words, his expression somber, and he raised his wrist to check his watch, then said, "An hour and a half."
"What did the doctor say?"
Chandler Rhodes’s mood was suddenly heavy. "The doctor said it’s a heart attack."
A heart attack...
Poe Vaughn fell silent.
As people age, it’s either this illness or that, rarely are they completely healthy, without any pain or sickness.
Old Mr. Rhodes had annual physicals, his body was still good, very robust, with no major illnesses, but now, suddenly a heart attack.
This makes the situation serious.
As Poe Vaughn stopped speaking, everyone else fell silent too, the surroundings quieted down.
Chandler Rhodes was silent for a mont, then said, "Don’t worry, your grandpa always had good health, this ti... it will be fine."
These words were just for self-consolation, as a heart attack, considering his age, even if it doesn’t take his life, it can be damaging.
There’s no way everything can be the sa as before.
Poe Vaughn responded with a "Mm," and said no more.
He looked at the ergency room, his eyes deep and silently moving.
He seed to be thinking about sothing, yet also seed as if he wasn’t thinking about anything.
The atmosphere quieted down again, including Hayden Rhodes’ cough.
Hayden Rhodes leaned against the wall, looking at the person standing with his back to him outside the ergency room ahead.
This was his son, the child of him and Mina.
He was taller than him, grew up well, looked a lot like his mother, yet also very distant from him...
Hayden Rhodes lowered his head, a bitter smile on his face.
He bent his body, then supported himself against the wall to walk away, step by step.
He did not think he was right.
He was right.
Yvonne Rhodes had soone co to take Ronia Ackerly away, then she ca to the ergency room.
However, just as she turned around, she saw soone from the corridor ahead co out, supporting themselves against the wall.
The body was hunched, clutching the chest, step by step, as if greatly wounded, each step extrely difficult.
Especially the complexion, pale as paper, completely different from before, as if had beco a different person.
Yvonne Rhodes stood there, watching Hayden Rhodes like this, her expression darkened, then walked straight over.
She walked past Hayden Rhodes.
Without saying a word.
Through decades, mistakes following mistakes, even now, still not knowing repentance.
He deserved to be punished.
Even though he was her younger brother, seeing Hayden Rhodes in this state now, she felt no sympathy at all.
A person needs to pay the price for the mistakes they make.
Hayden Rhodes is no exception.
However, just as Yvonne Rhodes was about to turn past the corner, a strange sound ca from behind.
"Pfft!"
It sounded as if sothing was spat out, making a loud noise in the silent corridor.
Yvonne Rhodes’ footsteps stopped suddenly.
She frowned, then turned around.
Hayden Rhodes was leaning against the wall, standing there, his body more hunched than before.
And at this mont, he looked down at a pool of blood on the ground, dazedly, as if he’d lost his soul.
Yvonne Rhodes looked at the person in front, the scarlet on the ground, her expression changed instantly.
She hurried over, quickly supporting Hayden Rhodes as he fell.
"Nurse, get a doctor!"
At this ti, a nurse happened to be passing by in front, and Yvonne Rhodes imdiately called out.
The nurse heard the voice, looked over imdiately, saw Hayden Rhodes and the blood on the ground, hurriedly ca to look, and then ran to get the doctor.
Soon, the doctor ca and took Hayden Rhodes away.
Outside the ergency room, everyone heard the noise from the corner, and it was clearly Yvonne Rhodes’ voice.
Everyone imdiately looked towards the corner, but couldn’t see anything.
However, two mbers of the Rhodes Family hurried over to see, to make sure nothing happened.
And seeing the blood on the ground and Hayden Rhodes being taken away, they followed Yvonne Rhodes.
Outside the ergency room, everyone heard the commotion from this side, very chaotic, and their expressions beca anxious.
Although they all resented Hayden Rhodes for being so foolish, being completely tricked by a woman, it didn’t change the fact that Hayden was their kin.
Especially since they knew Hayden’s temperant very well; he wasn’t a bad person, just too easily deceived when it ca to relationships.
For decades, he only stumbled at Ronia Ackerly; everything else was good.
If sothing happened to Hayden Rhodes now, they would be just as worried.
However, at this mont, no one spoke, they were all looking at Poe Vaughn.
The one standing outside the ergency room, tall and imposing.
Poe Vaughn kept one hand in his pocket, holding a phone, his gaze fixed on the ergency room, with deep eyes.
And at this mont, there wasn’t a hint of emotion on his face, no sign of any anomaly.
Even with the panic and noise coming from the corner, his expression remained calm.
No change at all.
It’s often said that Poe Vaughn, the most outstanding grandson of the Vaughn Family and the head of Celestial Holdings, is a naturally cold-hearted and emotionless person.
He shows no rcy, acts with swift and decisive asures that make one fearful.
Before, they only heard rumors, but weren’t clear about them.
But now, looking at the person before them, devoid of joy or sorrow, without any emotional fluctuation, they believed it.
Believed those rumors.
The person before them was cold and unfeeling, cold enough to make your heart shiver with fear.
Chandler Rhodes looked at Poe Vaughn in this manner, feeling heavy-hearted.
This child, he hadn’t interacted much with, but because of his mother’s affair, they always felt indebted to him.
If only Mina Vaughn hadn’t died in the car accident, if only she was still here.
But alas, Mina Vaughn is gone, and Hayden Rhodes married Ronia Ackerly, and quickly they had a child, leaving this child who should have had a happy family, without father or mother.
So now, whatever Poe Vaughn’s nature, he could accept it.
Only, at this mont, looking at Poe Vaughn this way, it felt like a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.
This child could have been like any other child, happy and smiling, but because of Ronia Ackerly, he lost everything.
It was Hayden’s fault, it was the Rhodes Family’s fault.
The atmosphere beca tense again, even taut, and heavy.
Chandler Rhodes suppressed the heavy emotions in his heart, instructing the younger ones to check on Hayden Rhodes’s situation, and then continued to wait here.
At tis like this, one mustn’t panic.
The younger ones quickly left, while others were hurrying over to see the old man. Chandler Rhodes gave so instructions, then said to Poe Vaughn, "Child, you go mind your business, we’ll keep watching here, don’t worry."
"I’ll call you when your grandfather cos out."
Chandler Rhodes looked at the ti, knowing they had no obligation to keep Poe Vaughn here, and Poe Vaughn had a lot on his plate, waiting here would only waste his ti.
Poe Vaughn kept his hand in his pocket where there were candies, now ward by his body heat, touching his fingertips as if a gentle hand was holding him.
He parted his lips.
