"Master!" Nanny Zhang was standing closest to Old Master Gu, so she was the first one rushing toward him.

Qin Zhi'ai had not seen Old Master Gu for more than a month, since the Gu Company's annual party, and he seemed to have aged since then. In fact, his paleness made his face appear transparent, and his breathing was labored. Numerous tubes were coming out of the exposed areas of his body and from under the sheet covering him. 

"Grandpa!" Gu Yusheng called out again. He looked up at Old Master Gu's surgeon.

The surgeon understood without Gu Yusheng asking. He replied, "Mr. Gu is not in good condition right now."

Qin Zhi'ai could clearly feel Gu Yusheng's hand shaking in hers.
