Ron was pushed back two steps. He stared at the emergency room door, his expression blank. Though he opened his mouth several times, no words came out.Kerry pushed him again. "What are you standing here for? Quickly go see your father. He won't be able to rest in peace knowing he has an unfilial son like you."Kerry's words hurt Ron deeply, leaving him feeling suffocated.After a while, Ron came back to his senses and staggered toward the emergency room.Donald lay on the emergency operating table, his eyes closed, his face pallid.Rebekah was half-kneeling by the bedside, tightly holding Donald's hand as she cried hysterically.Approaching Donald, Ron was vividly reminded of Gary, whose face suddenly flashed in his mind.A year ago, Ron received news that Gary had passed away and was also lying on a similar operating table, his face so pale it was almost distorted.That face he knew so well suddenly seemed so foreign to him, so unfamiliar that he could barely recognize it.T

Anthony said with a serious expression, "Ms. Blue is Ron's fiancée, chosen by Dad, and Donald also agreed with it. Quickly have her change her clothes and join Ron to greet and thank the visitors."Jake replied, "Okay. Ms. Blue, come with me."Emma followed Jake.Regina followed them and, after taking two steps, turned her head to smile at Anthony. "Thank you, Anthony."Anthony simply smiled, offering no response.In a faint voice, Audrey asked, "What does Regina want?"Anthony replied, "She's trying to please me."Audrey responded, "Such a cheap woman."Anthony said, "The Blue family is trying to cause trouble, but there's no need to bother about them."Audrey glanced at Ron, who was talking to the visitors, after briefly watching Emma's back. "You do know that Ron doesn't want to marry Emma, yet you still arrange for her to join him. Aren't you afraid he'll cause a scene?"Anthony replied with a cold smile, "I know, that's why I arranged it this way. I want him to cause a s

Emma did not respond but thought, 'I can't fully empathize with Ron's pain, but I believe he has known care and love. Unlike me, I've never felt loved by anyone.'Ron continued saying, "It hasn't been long since I lost both my brother and father. And now, my mother is so traumatized she's confined to her bed."Although Ron's tone was indifferent, Emma felt heartbroken when she heard his words.She subconsciously reached out to put her hand on top of the back of Ron's hand. "Ron, even if I might not be of much help, I want to be your friend. Together, maybe we can change our fate."Ron turned his head to stare at Emma coldly, meeting her foolish but determined gaze.Emma felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. "If you don't want that, just pretend I didn't say it."Ron replied, "You want to be my friend and work with me, but do you know what I'm about to face?"Emma asked, "Does it matter what you're about to face?"Ron responded, "You could end up like my brother and fathe

Philip waved his hand and said, "It's been a few busy days, and everyone is tired. Let's all go back and rest. We'll deal with whatever needs to be done tomorrow. My health is much better than you all imagine."Prompted by Philip's words, everyone realized there was no further need to stay. Consequently, they all stood up and prepared to leave.As Emma and Ron stood up to leave, Philip's voice halted their movement. "Emma, why don't you stay and have a meal with me? I'll have the driver take you home later," he said.Emma glanced at Ron, but he did not say anything and just walked away.Other people's gazes toward Emma carried a hint of curiosity.Emma just ignored them and turned around to walk to Philip. "Grandpa," she said.Philip patted the spot beside him, signaling Emma to sit down. He then looked at the others who all had ulterior motives and asked, "Do you all want to stay and eat with me too?"No one wanted to dine with Philip; they merely wanted to know why he asked Em

"Grandpa, I know which path to take; you don't need to worry about me. Right now, the most important thing for you is to take care of your health and not let those people get under your skin anymore."Ron suddenly spoke up, interrupting Emma and Philip's conversation.Emma spun around, surprised by Ron in the living room—he was supposed to have left. "Why are you still here?"With light and graceful steps, Ron approached Emma and Philip, his eyes bright and devoid of the desolation evident just moments before.Philip frowned disapprovingly. "What do you know? If you really knew, you wouldn't need me, an old man, to worry about you."Ron sat beside Philip. "Grandpa, I appreciate everything you've done to help me. I know that by keeping Emma here, you're sending a message to those people that I can't take over Hagrid Corporation. But I'm your grandson, and I know you won't just abandon me. But have you considered the implications for her, this scaredy-cat?"Philip responded, "With
