Kern, that old man is not afraid of me dying. He still has a grandson who can inherit his throne.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kern sneered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you think I want to go back to that filthy place of the Shaws?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t want the Shaw Group?\u201d Caden said coldly, \u201cI\u2019m afraid you\u2019ll be disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kern\u2019s gaze swept past Caden as he looked out of the window. \u201cThe Shaw Group is a good thing. I want it. But will you give it to me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll snatch it even if I don\u2019t give it to you, won\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes I will, from you. But if you die, I won\u2019t snatch it from her.\u201d Kern demonstrated his ambition.<\/p>\n<p>Caden narrowed his eyes and looked at Kern. \u201cYou have a deep affection for her. Should I entrust her to you before I die?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSave it. You\u2019re sick to death. Aren\u2019t you divorced?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen you have nothing to do with her matters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEntrust?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat depends on whether you have the qualifications now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kern finished speaking and stood up. \u201cI\u2019m done visiting you. I should go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou came only to visit me? I didn\u2019t know you were so kind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m here to see if you\u2019re dying. After all, we share the same bloodline. Do you think I\u2019m willing to visit you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kern retorted mockingly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut don\u2019t worry. When you die, I won\u2019t snatch the Shaw Group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearing that, Caden, who was lying in the bed, fell silent for a moment. Then he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, remember what you said today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBye.\u201d The visitor waved one hand casually, put the other hand in his pocket, and left.<\/p>\n<p>Ladd came in. \u201cBoss, Mr. White is here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs he out?\u201d Caden raised his head. \u201cThen Payne is out of the aseptic room. That\u2019s right, it\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humbert, who was at the door, had changed into a white coat. \u201cYou\u2019re too sick to care about that loser.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was holding Caden\u2019s medical record.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tumor in your brain has pressed on the optic and central nerve \u2026 Are you having an surgery?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He wasn\u2019t in a good mood. As soon as he went out of the aseptic room, he learned Caden was seriously sick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack then, you pretended to be mad and said there was blood congestion in your brain. Now something has really grown in your brain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t laugh. Do you know how terrible your condition is?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humbert looked serious. \u201cThe failure rate of this surgery is very high. Even if we succeed, you\u2019re faced with the risk of paralysis and blindness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe surgery is a must,\u201d the man said calmly as if it wasn\u2019t him who was seriously sick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve enjoyed my life. The only regret \u2026\u201d he said, pausing slightly, \u201cForget it, it\u2019s all over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humbert sneered, \u201cNow you say it\u2019s all over. Why didn\u2019t you say so back then?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re a weird guy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack then, you used all your means to keep her by your side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that you\u2019re sick, you\u2019re eager to drive her away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humbert felt a little bitter. \u201cNow I believe that you love her badly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man remained silent.<\/p>\n<p>Humbert had to switch to another topic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard she\u2019s going back to Erhai Lake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, the man\u2019s body stiffened slightly. After a while, he said hoarsely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe likes it there. It\u2019s a good place. Good for her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re not seeing her again?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerhaps it\u2019ll be your last time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a friend, he hated to say such gloomy words. But as a doctor, he knew how bad his friend\u2019s condition was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo \u2026 I\u2019m not.\u201d The man looked out of the window. \u201cShe\u2019s tired of me. I always knew it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1533","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
