Henry still wanted to ask more questions when Jasper waved his hand and said, “Come on, let’s go
eat. What about your team of players, should we get them something?”
Henry replied nonchalantly, “No need. I already told the hotel staff to send three meals a day to the
room. Their diets are even more balanced than ours.”
Jasper chuckled and replied, “Alright, then. Let’s go.”
…
At the same time, in the Gardner family’s villa.
An old doctor walked out of the room with his assistant in tow. He sighed and turned to Lisa, who
looked worried, “Miss Gardner, Mr. Gardner’s condition isn’t looking very good…”
“Our initial diagnosis of Mr. Gardner’s stroke today pins the cause as large emotional fluctuations as
well as a long period of irregular diet and rest.”
Lisa’s heart sank when she heard him. She clenched her fists and asked, “Will my dad recover from
this, Dr. Tingey?”
The doctor shook his head and replied, “There’s no cure for stroke as of now.”
“Especially when it comes to elders. After having a stroke once, there will likely be multiple relapses
and the situation will only become more severe. Please be prepared for the worst, Miss Gardner.”
Lisa’s expression paled as she asked, “What’s the worst possible outcome?”
The doctor sighed again and replied, “Severe and later stage strokes can lead to Parkinson’s disease.
This is also known as dementia.”
“Another possibility would be for the stroke to worsen whereby the patient will no longer becomes able
to take care of themselves…”
Lisa’s expression darkened and the doctor did not dare to say more. All he could do was comfort her
softly, “These things have already happened, and we cannot go back in time to change it. Please don’t
think plague your mind with negative thoughts, Miss Gardner.”
“With appropriate treatment and rehabilitation, there should be no major issue. He’s not in any life-
threatening danger, so we just have to prevent the situation from getting worse.”
“It would be best to bring him to the hospital for a systematic full-body check-up. I’ll contact the best
team and have them come up with a treatment plan for Mr. Gardner.”
Lisa smiled wryly. “Alright. Thank you, Dr. Tingey.”
The doctor left with his assistant as Lisa opened the room door and entered the ward.
Norman was currently lying in bed. His complexion was horrible, like he was half-dead.
Lisa felt her heart clench at the sight. She walked over to the bed to take Norman’s hand as she
greeted him, “Dad.”
“Did the doctor leave?” Norman asked weakly.
“Yeah,” Lisa nodded.
“Has there been contact with Harbor City?” Norman asked again.
Lisa’s gaze darkened and she replied softly, “Don’t worry about that now, Dad. What you need to do
most is rest.”
Norman opened his eyes to look at Lisa and said slowly, “Did Mr. Atticus… ignore you?”
Lisa knew she could not hide the truth from Norman, and she bit her lip. “I haven’t contacted them yet.
Maybe Mr. Atticus is busy, I’ll call again later…”
Before Lisa could finish speaking, Norman waved her off. “There’s no need. Gale’s already thrown us
aside, so why wouldn’t Mr. Atticus? To them, we’re already discarded pawns.”
Lisa replied hatefully, “Dad! I won’t just give up so easily!”
“I’m already useless, and all I can do is lie in bed. What can you do to Jasper?” Norman asked.
“We couldn’t even win against Jasper when I could still move around. He still managed to force the
Waterhoof City branch to dissolve, and we’ve already lost our biggest form of support.”
“Instead of thinking about how we should take revenge on Jasper, we need to think about how to stay
alive now.”
