Chapter 10
Rosabella turned away in a daze and walked away. Every step became heavy, tears poured down like rain, and her whole body felt like it had no strength left. When she returned to her room, she lay down on the bed, looking up at the ceiling:
"I wish it was all just a dream, that nothing would happen when I wake up tomorrow morning."
---
In City A, the ambulance siren kept blaring.
"Dad, wake up." Lowa cried and shook him.
In the car, Mr. Usha lay motionless on the oxygen tank, being transferred to the hospital. Lowa hurriedly took out her phone and called her husband:
"Honey, something happened to our dad, come to the hospital now."
Viktor hurriedly informed his three sons and rushed to the hospital.
At the hospital, Viktor and his three sons ran into the emergency room.
"Mom, how is grandpa?" Dominic asked, panting.
"He's been in the emergency room for a while." Lowa cried and pointed to the emergency room.
People were walking back and forth in front of the emergency room. Everyone was anxious and restless. Lowa was also exhausted, she sat face down on the chair in the hallway. More than an hour had passed, but no doctor had come out yet. Cayle occasionally looked at his watch and said,
"Why are they still not out?"
A moment later, the doctor and nurse pushed Mr. Usha's hospital bed out. Dominic rushed over and asked the doctor,
"Doctor Tatum, what's wrong with my grandfather?"
The doctor gently took off his mask, patted Dominic on the shoulder, and replied,
"Your grandfather had a heart attack and high blood pressure, fortunately, he was treated in time, so there's nothing to worry about."
Dominic continued to ask, worried, "So when will he wake up?"
Dr. Tatum slowly instructed, his expression serious:
"Maybe tomorrow or the day after. Let him rest a lot. Don't get too excited, his condition will get worse. I heard that he's been stressed out by your work lately. After he wakes up, you have to pay attention."
"Yes, I know, thank you, Dr. Tatum."
Mr. Usha was fine and had already woken up a long time ago, but he asked the doctor to stage this play to take the opportunity to force his nephew to agree to the marriage. He didn't want to do it, but he had no other choice. Since his health was gradually deteriorating, he was afraid that he couldn't wait any longer.
---
The next day, Mr. Usha slowly opened his eyes. He was quite tired because he had been injected with some sedatives in the emergency room yesterday. He just didn't want anyone to know and let the play go perfectly, so that was the only way left.
Viktor's face was still worried, he helped his father sit up and said: "Dad, you're awake."
His grandsons breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in unison from behind: "How is Grandpa?"
Grandpa Usha said weakly: "I'm fine. You guys go back to work, don't gather here like this."
The three boys quietly left in silence.
That afternoon, after work, Dominic went to the hospital to replace his parents.
"Dominic, help me sit up a bit."
"Okay, Grandpa, be careful."
Grandpa Usha leaned against the headboard, coughed a few times, held his chest, and said weakly:
"My time is almost up. Now, I just want to see you guys get married one by one."
Dominic knew he couldn't avoid it anymore, and was also worried about Grandpa's health, so he answered curtly: "Grandpa, rest well, we'll talk later."
Grandpa kept shaking his head, his violent cough getting longer and longer: "No."
Mr. Usha coughed a few times, then held his chest, pretending to be in pain. Dominic was surprised to see him like that:
"Okay, I agree. Don't get excited. The doctor will be here soon."
Doctor Tatum came in, examined him, and said to Dominic:
"Your grandfather's heart rate has just stabilized, don't get excited, otherwise he won't be able to be saved."
"Thank you, doctor."
Dominic gently helped him lie down, one hand supporting his head, the other supporting his pillow, his heart filled with worry: "The doctor told you not to get excited. I'll help you lie down."
Mr. Usha was overjoyed, his mouth kept smiling, and and his heart was thrilled. He had finally waited for this day. He did not believe it, so he asked his nephew again, "You just agreed to get married, right?"
"Okay, I'll wait until you get better." Dominic nodded helplessly.
He didn't expect that one day he would be forced to agree to something he didn't like from the start in such a situation. It was true that he was reluctant, but for the sake of his grandfather's health, there was no other way.

"What's wrong with everyone today?"
Sharon entered the office with a cheerful expression, but his attitude suddenly changed when he saw everyone bowing their heads to their computers without taking their eyes off them for a second. Although they were usually a bit tense, today was scary. Sharon walked up to a female employee and asked,
"What's wrong with the company today? The atmosphere is like a war is about to break out."
The female employee's gaze kept looking towards the CEO's office, her heart filled with anxiety as she whispered,
"It's even worse than a war. I don't know who angered the boss today, we've all been criticized since this morning. Aylin was still being scolded inside, an hour had passed and she still hadn't come out."
Sharon chuckled a few times:
"What's going on? It's strange. Let me go in and take a look."
The other staff stopped him: "I advise you not to come in at this time, otherwise you, an outsider, will also be implicated."
"Don't worry."
Sharon opened the door and walked in, seeing things scattered everywhere, Aylin was cleaning up. He approached and whispered:
"What happened to make your general manager so angry?"
Aylin shook her head, her face unchanged, her hands clearing the pile of documents on the floor:
"I don't know either, he was on duty at the hospital all night last night. As soon as he arrived early in the morning, he called all the staff into a meeting and criticized them one by one. And now it's like you see."
Sharon approached Dominic's desk and asked:
"What's wrong with you today? As soon as I arrived at the company, I saw that everyone was very tense."
