Kapitel 3: Acknowledgment

"I came uninvited today because there's an urgent matter. Can you make an exception and let us see Mr. Bai?"
Perhaps it was because his attitude was too humble but the old butler hesitated for a moment before telling him, "It's not that I don't want to let you in, but there's something wrong with the old man's health. Sir and Madam have already gone to the hospital. He's indeed not at home."
After Hu Lai received the useful information, he did not pester him anymore. He politely bade farewell and drove to the City Hospital.
He had long heard that Old Master Bai's heart was not good. Since he did not call the Bai family's private doctor to come and see him, he could only be at the city hospital where the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were best handled.
"When we reach the hospital later, you'll go up with me. Just stand by the side. Don't cause trouble and don't run around. Otherwise, you know the consequences!" On the way, Hu Lai didn't forget to threaten Hu Ke.
Hu Ke only lowered her head and did not reply.
At this moment, other than Bai Wen and his wife, Yu Wei, standing at the entrance of the operating theater, there was also a young man who was panting heavily. It was Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao had obviously rushed over from the company. His suit was slightly wrinkled. He walked straight to Yu Wei and asked, "What's wrong with Grandpa?"
Yu Wei frowned and looked worriedly at the flashing signboard that read "Surgery in Progress". She shook her head gently at Bai Xiao. "He's still being resuscitated. The old man suddenly fainted."
Hu Lai drove the car over in a flash. As soon as he parked the car at the hospital, he pulled Hu Ke in. After asking about the Bai family's current location, he hurriedly walked towards the operating theater.
At this moment, at the entrance of the operating theater, the doctor was conversing with Bai Wen.
"I'm sorry, we tried our best. The patient is conscious now, but he won't be able to hold on for long. If you have anything else to say, go in and talk."
The doctor's words were the final verdict. Bai Wen barely composed himself and thanked the doctor with red eyes.
Bai Xiao stood on the spot expressionlessly, but upon closer inspection, his hands were trembling uncontrollably.
The nurse pushed the bed out. The old man lying on it had clearly reached the point of exhaustion and was only relying on his last breath to hold on.
"Grandpa…" Bai Xiao did not expect his grandfather's condition to be so bad. He walked to the bed and squatted down, burying his face in the old man's withered palm.
"Little brat, you're here…" Bai Zheng smiled weakly.
"Grandpa might be dying soon. Don't be sad…" The old man was interrupted by Bai Xiao halfway through his sentence.
The young CEO, who was the boss of the company, no longer looked so mature. Instead, his eyes were red as he shook his head in a panic like a child.
He held the old man's hand tightly. "Grandpa, don't spout nonsense. The doctor just said that you'll get better."
Bai Zheng sighed slightly and gestured for Bai Xiao to listen to him. "Don't lie to me. I know my body very well. Don't be sad. Grandpa doesn't have any regrets in this life. I just didn't see you get married and have children. If you have someone you like in the future, you must bring her to Grandpa to take a look, okay?"
The old man on the bed only said a few words before he began to pant heavily. He had experienced too many storms and knew that he did not have many days left.
During this period of time in the hospital, President Bai Zheng recalled the past and suddenly realized that he had long let go of those things that he had thought he would never be able to forget in his life. He only wanted to see his family safe and happy.
Hu Lai rushed upstairs with Hu Ke and happened to see this scene. When he heard Bai Zheng's last sentence, he suddenly realized that this was an opportunity. He rushed straight over.
"Mr. Bai Zheng, you'll definitely be able to see Bai Xiao get married and have a great-grandson! Actually, Bai Xiao has good news for you today. His girlfriend is already pregnant!"
Hu Lai's appearance was so sudden that no one could react.
On the other hand, Bai Xiao seemed to have suddenly realized something. He looked up in the direction of the elevator and met Hu Ke's gaze.
Bai Zheng was obviously shocked. He looked at his grandson as if seeking confirmation.
Bai Xiao did not deny what Hu Lai said and only nodded at him.
