Chapter: 6124
This also means that his articulation and pronunciation when speaking will be affected.
This is a standard case of hemiparesis.
Fortunately, Howard's brain hasn't been greatly affected, and his cognitive abilities remain normal.
"Wait until he regains consciousness, then brain experts comfort him by saying: 'Mr. Rockefeller, your body has already escaped life-threatening danger, but some symptoms of hemiparesis have occurred. But don't worry too much, we have the world's best rehabilitation system. As long as you actively participate in rehabilitation training, I believe you can recover your ability to engage in independent activities soon.'"
"Howard's emotions are still somewhat overwrought, and he scowls and grits his teeth, shouting: 'Damn it! Get my top-notch lawyer team here... I want to sue the country of flames... I'll get back our four-sided treasures!'"
"The doctor sees his blood pressure suddenly skyrocketing again, and quickly soothes him by saying: 'Mr. Rockefeller, what you should avoid most right now is emotional overreaction. If your cardiovascular system has a problem, the situation will only become more severe, and even put your life at risk. I advise you to let go of all the things that were unbearable before, regardless of how much loss you suffered... you must remind yourself in your heart that preserving one's life is crucial, and cannot be allowed to continue to worsen...'"
"As he spoke, the doctor said seriously: 'Mr. Rockefeller, you already have more money than you can spend, but you don't have unlimited time! In front of death, everything else is like clouds... there's a comedian in the country of flames who says it well: the greatest tragedy in life is that one dies and hasn't spent all their money. Think about it, isn't this just a matter of common sense?'"
"Howard didn't expect the doctor to speak so directly and harshly, his first reaction was an instinctive desire to blow up with anger, but then he subconsciously started thinking about what the doctor had just said..."
"It's easy to get angry, but given my current physical condition, getting angry might be even easier... I've enjoyed a lifetime of wealth and honor, so naturally I know that life is the most precious thing in this world."
"The four-sided treasures may concern the future of the Rockefeller family, but if I were to die, what would it matter even if the Rockefeller family were to rule the entire world or dominate the universe afterwards?"
"However, if I could live on, and live for a longer time, even if the Rockefeller family declines by 90%, its assets shrink from tens of billions to mere hundreds of billions... wouldn't that still be fine? I would still have money to spend, and still enjoy my blessings?"
The doctor's words made Howard reevaluate his four-sided treasures.
To be honest, he had indeed suffered a tremendous loss due to the four-sided treasures and even jeopardized his health. However, if he still refused to let go, objectively speaking, it would only lead to further losses, with no chance of recovering any losses.
Therefore, the most reasonable thing to do now is to cut one's losses, treat all previous investments as sunk costs, and accept the reality. As long as he can prevent further losses from this point on, that would be the best solution for the current situation.
After all, he was a top-notch family manager who was well-versed in investment strategies. Howard realized that things couldn't be helped, and his mind immediately solidified the concept of cutting one's losses.
So, he summoned his eldest son David and instructed him to say goodbye to everyone and put an end to all dealings with Gottman, and from now on, no one would mention anything about the four-sided treasures.
"Alright, father." David nodded and hurriedly notified everyone.
The comprehensive blockade imposed by North Federation against Gottman at various departments had been lifted after David made a single phone call.
This also meant that the Rockefeller family had completely given up on the four-sided treasures."
Two hours later, Steve brought his son Royce back to the Rockefeller estate, dusty and tired from their flight.
The father-son duo got off the helicopter and hurriedly made their way to the medical center's special care ward to visit their old grandfather.
At this moment, most members of the Rockefeller family had already returned to Gottman from various parts of the world, while others were on their way back.
They were all gathered in the living room outside the ward, sitting on sofas, standing by the windows, or pacing back and forth, but no one was speaking a word.
They all shared the same despondent mood despite their differences in rights and responsibilities within the Rockefeller family.
As Steve's sons and grandsons, none of them wanted to see any major changes in Steve's physical condition. JrNovels.com
