Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 491 Time is Running Out

"If

you shouldn't "Uh... Yes!"

I say it, then don't," Micah cut him off sharply. "Andrew, see him out!"

Andrew appeared a bit awkward. Micah had forcefully made it clear he wanted Nelson gone.

Nelson didn't say another word, simply sighing in resignation and turning to leave.

"Micah, Mr. Luminex means no harm," Silas whispered, glancing at Nelson's retreating figure. "I think you should consider Mr. Luminex's advice. Maybe he just has something important he wants to warn you about."

"I don't think Sadie can influence me in any way," Micah said with a hint of annoyance whenever someone mentioned Sadie with malice, including Nelson.

"Mr. Luminex is a decent and kind person. He's generally fair-minded. Although he's not too fond of other women because of Miss Amelia, that doesn't mean he would slander someone. Perhaps he truly has a secret he needs to share with you

"Silas!" Micah interrupted, frowning in displeasure. "You're overthinking this!"

"Alright then." Silas lowered his head, choosing not to say any more.

Micah changed into his isolation suit and stepped into the ward.

Micah's grandfather was in a state of unconsciousness at the moment, with the doctor performing a check-up next to him. Seeing Micah arriving, the doctor quickly greeted him with a nod.

"How's he doing?" Micah asked quietly.

"In and out of consciousness," the doctor replied softly. "Strokes followed by falls are the worst for the elderly. He took a bad one, hitting his head hard. I'm afraid he's going to be in this condition for a while." "How long is a while?" Micah asked, this time with a crease in his brow.

"It's hard to say. Could be a week, a month, or even longer," the doctor speculated. "But now he's just sleeping, thankfully with no other pain."

Micah didn't respond, his gaze heavy with complexity as he looked at his grandfather.

He always found his grandfather's temper and domineering ways annoying, but Micah felt a deep sense of guilt seeing him lying there.....

He knew his grandfather was getting on in years and that the day would come when he would leave this world.

But he truly wished that day could be delayed, just a little longer...

"Stay with him. I'll leave you two alone," said the doctor, giving another respectful nod before quietly leaving the room.

Micah sat by the bedside, silently keeping his grandfather company.

A nurse came in with a warm towel, ready to bathe the old man.

Micah gestured. "I'll do it."

"Sure," the nurse replied, handing him the warm towel.

Micah wasn't sure how to care for someone, but he wanted to show his respect and love.

As he gently wiped his grandfather's wrinkled skin with the damp towel, it dawned on Micah that his grandfather had truly aged.

The man who once adeptly navigated the business world and commanded the elements with his will now was succumbing to the passage of time, quietly stepping toward the end of his life. Micah's emotions were a tangled mess, having just confirmed his paternity of three children, and now watching his ailing grandfather. The beginnings and endings of life seemed like intertwining paths. "Micah!" Silas called out softly, interrupting Micah's thoughts.

Micah snapped back to reality and turned toward him. "Yes?"

"It's time for your grandfather to take his medicine," Silas said, presenting a glass of warm water and the finely crushed medicine.

"Let me," Micah offered, taking the medicine and carefully feeding it to his grandfather.

"Every time your grandfather comes to, he's been calling out your name," Silas whispered gently. "Of all the people he worries about, you're always the one he can't seem to let go."

Micah didn't respond. his gaze merely trembled slightly.

"The doctor just told me." Silas whispered in Micah's ear, "Even if your grandfather wakes up, he doesn't have much time left. Please, don't upset him anymore."

"I know..." Micah looked at his grandfather, a smile forming on his lips. "When he wakes up, I've got some great news to tell him."
