Chapter 44 All Wanting To The Old Man Die Samuelâs brothers, Albert and Christopher, shouted again. Even if itâs a physical examination, canât we take a look? Thatâs our brother in there!â
Gilderoy said helplessly, âMaster Albert, Master Christopher, itâs not that I donât want you to see Master Samuel, but itâs really not good to disturb him when heâs sleeping! You all know that Master Samuel hasnât been sleeping well He finally fell asleep. If heâs disturbed, itâll be difficult for him to fall asleep againâ Letâs just watch and not disturb him! Both Albert and Christopher said in unison They had each arranged for someone to stay in the Parksâ residence At eight in the morning, they saw Gilderoy get someone to help the old man into the car. They suspected that something was wrong with Samuelâs body.
They saw no reason for Samuel to wobble his way into the car otherwise. Moreover, Dr. Suller was with thern. Dr. Sullerâs medical skills were very good. He could no doubt treat small problems. Now that Dr.
Suller was going out with Samuel, there must be a huge problem with the latterâs body.
Therefore, they discussed for a while and waited for two hours before rushing to Metropolis Hospital, pretending that they had met by chance in the hospital.
After all, it would be too obvious if they came over as soon as Gilderoy arrived at the hospital.
âHow long has Samuel been asleep?â Julian asked Gilderoy.
âMaster Samuel has only slept for 15 minutes. He must be tired after checking his body, so he went straight to sleep.â Gilderoy said.
Julian nodded and looked at Albert and Christopher, and said, âAlbert, Christopher, grandpa has always been a light sleeper. Itâs easy to wake him up even when he had just fallen asleep. He wasnât even able to take a nap for long. You can see him in an hour. By the way, why did you two come to the hospital?
Are you feeling unwell? Or are you two doing physical examinations here?â
Julian had always been silent and aloof in front of outsiders, giving off an oppressive feeling.
Even Albert and Christopher only dared to complain behind his back when they were dissatisfied with him. After all, Julian was Samuelâs designated successor. He was now taking over the Parks familyâs businesses one after another.
âAh, we both agreed to come over for a physical examination. Coincidentally, we bumped into Samuel here. We were afraid that Samuel might have any health problems, so we came over to take a look.
Since Samuel is taking a nap, weâll come back in an hour. It just so happens that we can go for a physical examination now,â Albert said with a smile.
As if he had just seen Annalise, he asked curiously, âJulian, who is this girl? Your new secretary?â âMy wife, Annalise!â Julian did not hide anything.
He then reached out to hold Annaliseâs hand and interlocked his fingers with hers to show how much he valued his wife. Then, he introduced to Annalise, âThis is Albert, and this is Christopher. Both of them are grandpaâs brothers.â
Annalise felt like he was being forced into a corner. She still smiled politely and said, âGood day, Albert, Christopher.â
She immediately comforted herself in her heart that it was fine and she only had to act for three months. âThis young lady looks unfamiliar. Which family is she from?â Christopher looked at Annaliseâs T-shirt and jeans and how she looked bare-faced. He recalled the recent rumors that Julian had gone to a godforsaken place like Horington to marry a country bumpkin. He could not hide his contempt for Annalise and deliberately asked her which family she was from.
âThe Barton family, thank you for your concern!â Annalise said with a smile.
She had already considered Julianâs face when she came over.
So, although she was wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, her outfit really wasnât cheap.
The T-shirt cost more than 1300 dollars, her jeans cost more than 4500 dollars, and the shoes cost more than 3000 dollars.
Even Jadeboroughâs socialites wore clothes of about the same prices. They couldnât possibly wear clothes costing millions after all.
It turned out that there were also people from wealthy families who did not know what was good for them. They could not tell the international brands from the tags.
That was true. Everyone is prejudiced in one way or another.
Ordinary people would carry Hermes and people would gossip behind their backs that said Hermes was a replica.
When rich people wore something cheap, no one would doubt that it was not real.
However, she was used to keeping a low profile. Now, she was already dressed in a more high-profile manner. As for what others thought, she could not control and she did not care.
âThe Barton family? Which Barton family, if I may? When did Jadeborough have the Barton family?â
Albert looked at his brother, Christopher, Both of them were in their seventies, but they were not kind at all. They were very mean.
Christopher shook his head. âThe Barton family? Never heard of it!â
Annalise smiled and said, âThe Barton family in Horington!â
Actually, what she wanted to say was not the family that Uncle Kent was from, but that her surname just happened to be Barton, and she alone could support the Barton family.
âHorington? Julian? You went to Horington to marry a woman and your grandfather was okay with it?â
Albert looked shocked.
Gilderoy couldnât stand it anymore. He said, âSir, it must have been hard on you and Mrs. Parks to catch the plane, right? Why donât you rest in the ward next door first? Iâll call you when Master Samuel wakes up?â âAlright!â Julian replied. Then, he said to Albert, Christopher, âGo and check your bodies first.â âAlright, alright. Weâll come back later to look at Samuel. The two old men exchanged glances and left. After turning the corner, they lowered their voices and discussed.
âSomething must have happened to that old thing. Otherwise, Julian wouldnât have rushed over so quickly.â
âYes, I think so too.â
âIf that old thing really canât make it, Christopher, Iâm afraid we still need to join forces.â
âDonât worry. Weâll do as we agreed previously. Weâll push Timothy to the top. Heâs the most suitable.
Heâs only half a year younger than Julian, and heâs also capable. Heâs married and has children. He has a good reputation, and he married the daughter of the Xander family.
âWhen the time comes, weâll gather all our people and support Timothy together. If the old thing dies, he wonât be able to crawl out of the coffin. Tony has been developing overseas for so many years and has long been marginalized. Julian canât beat us all alone, so he can only obediently give up his position.â
âYes, no matter what, we invested with the old thing back then. Weâre all original shareholders. We all have rights in the matter.â
âThatâs right. Letâs go. Letâs put on a show and do a simple physical examination first so that Julian wonât pick on us.â
Gilderoy had originally said that he would bring Julian and the others to the ward next door to rest.
When he saw those two leave, he immediately brought Julian and Annalise into Samuelâs ward.
As soon as he closed the door, Gilderoyâs expression turned solemn. âSir, Master Samuel has done a physical examination. Some of the results said that he was fine. There are others that we have to wait for. The experts are currently discussing Master Samuelâs illness and the reason why Master is unconscious. I donât know⦠Sigh.â
Gilderoy wanted to say that he did not know if Samuel would wake up, but he felt that these words were too disrespectful and inauspicious. He swallowed them and only let out a long sigh.
When people were old, they would believe in fate, There were certain ages that men and women alike feared. Samuel happened to be 79 years old this year, one of the critical and feared ages.
Gilderoy really wanted to kill Tony now, but it wasnât like he could do so. He was just a butler and did not dare to say anything harsh to Tony. He only scolded him for being unfilial in his heart.
âAnnie, help me take a look. Donât feel pressured. No matter what the outcome is, it doesnât matter!â
Julian was afraid that Annalise would feel pressured.
