Chapter 1777 Pregnancy Syndrome (Part One)
The days slipped by so fast. In the blink of an eye, it was summer again. In the meantime, CY Technology slowly but surely got on the right track and Rain's life was now almost complete. However, there was still one small unpleasant thing that played on his mind. He was concerned about his father, Sanford. He worried that his father might become ill due to the unacceptable behavior of his other two ignorant and incompetent sons and might end up in the hospital again. Unfortunately, his fears had come to light. Lawrence had just called and informed him that Sanford was indeed sent to the hospital again.
Rain stood outside of the hospital where Lawrence asked to meet with him. "Mr. Rain," Lawrence greeted him respectfully without hesitation. He had no one else to turn to for help except for Rain.
"What is it this time? What is the reason?" asked Rain with a hint of sarcasm and frustration in his voice. He seemed to be the one who always cleaned up the messy situations for his father.
"Mrs. Ke stole Mr. Ke's house title certificate and gave it to their oldest son. So Mr. Ke has no place to live now," said Lawrence with a big sigh. He wondered What was Mrs. Ke thinking when she stole the certificate. Without a house where did she think the two of them would live? Surely she wasn't that naive to think that her two spendthrift sons would take her in?
"Ha! Ha! I guess this is the so-called karma," said Rain cynically. He was unable to tell what he was feeling at that moment. He didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
"Mr. Rain, I'll leave Mr. Ke to you now," said Lawrence, feeling a little bit of guilt as he turned to leave. Even though he felt that he shouldn't be leaving his old sick master so quickly, he really didn't have another choice, as he too needed to find a way out for himself and to support his family.
"Wait! It's not my responsibility to look after him," said Rain shocked. He was still angry at his father. In the past, his father didn't take him seriously so he thought why should he have to take care of his father now?
"Mr. Rain, please have some mercy on your father! If you don't help him, the rest of his life will certainly be extremely miserable," Lawrence said earnestly, full of pity for his old master. He wondered, 'The hospital cost hasn't been paid and also now that the house is gone, he would need money to pay for house renting. But he is an old man with one foot in the grave and he definitely isn't able to make more money, how could he possibly survive without help?'
"I don't care what the rest of his life will be like, he deserves it! I have nothing to do with his misery," Rain said coldly, thinking of what his father had done to him in the past. If he didn't take over the KD Group, it would have gone bankrupt in the end. He just took it over through acquisition without gaining any benefits from it. Yet, through sheer hard work and effort, he made the old KD Group a brand new successful development.
"But you see, I have to support my own family and there is no way for me to continue to take care of him anymore," said Lawrence anxiously. He would never have turned to Rain for help if he knew there was another way. After all, it was his old master that treated Rain and his mother terribly all those years ago.
"Well, in that case, his monthly living expenses will be paid by me. As for his accommodation, I will also find a suitable house for him as soon as possible. You stay on and continue to take care of him! Your salary will also be paid by me!" Rain said compromised. Rain wasn't a cruel man. He couldn't just leave his father trapped in such a desperate situation with no way out.
"But in that case, I am afraid that his two other sons will continue to cause trouble for Mr. Ke," Lawrence said with deep concern. Judging from Lawrence's concern, Rain felt that he was hoping that he would bring Sanford into his own home.
"If they ever dare to cause any sort of trouble again, you just call the police directly and tell them that they have broken into his house to rob him in broad daylight," Rain said flatly. 'If you expect me to live under the same roof as my father Sanford, please forgive me for not being able to do so. I have already made a big compromise by offering to pay for all of his living expenses. Apart from that, I don't believe that I have any other obligation to him, 'Rain thought agitated.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
"All right then. But I don't know if Mr. Ke will accept such an arrangement," said Lawrence earnestly. He always felt that when people got old, they preferred to live with their family. If people lived on their own like his old master, then they would be miserable and lonely. "If he has another option, I assure you I won't step in," Rain said happily with a tone of sarcasm. He really didn't want to take care of his father's affairs, so he wouldn't have cared at all if Sanford had rejected his offer.
"I'm sure that Mr. Ke will seriously consider the arrangement," said Lawrence quickly. Lawrence dared not say anything more as he was afraid that he might provoke his young master and make him angry. He knew his young master's temperament very well. Although he seemed gentle, if pushed he could be very ruthless indeed.
"You need to be more careful! Keep in touch with me. See you, Lawrence."
Rain said, showing no interest in going into the hospital to visit his father. "Thank you! See you, Mr. Rain," Lawrence replied. He didn't ask his young master to go and see his father because he knew that he was unable to persuade him to do anything that he didn't want to do.
In the face of adversity, Sanford, although once a high-profile businessman had to accept his son's offer and arrangement. Yet, he wasn't discouraged because he felt that his relationship with Rain was slowly getting better.
Although Rain didn't like his father very much, he did call Lawrence regularly to ask about his physical condition. As far as Rain was concerned, he had done all that he could for him.
Sheena turned up at Sanford's new house and begged him for forgiveness. But he didn't want anything to do with her and drove her out of his house by beating her with his crutch. After all, it was because of her that he was reduced to such a degrading position. He could never forgive her.
Seeing that her husband had turned his back on her and not accept her into his home, she went to Tiana to ask for help. "Tiana, for all the years I have been raising you, you must help me. You can't be that cruel to see me live on the streets," said Sheena, pleading with her.0000
