Chapter: 6126

Meanwhile, David looked dejected, knowing that this result was inevitable, and he wouldn't lift a finger to praise this big brother.

Soon, Steve walked into the ward, saw his father on the bed, who looked similar to Hawking.

Howard had just been lying down when he heard the commotion outside, pleased with Steve's performance in his heart.

In this world, almost all top-tier family leaders have complex emotions when facing their designated successors.

On one hand, they genuinely want to pass the family leadership position to him, but on the other hand, they don't want it to happen too early and hope to delay it as much as possible.

Furthermore, they also don't want him to show any excitement or expectation about inheriting the leadership position, nor do they want him to behave in a presumptuous manner before he has inherited the position.

If Steve had dared to flatter his siblings outside with even just one casual phrase, Howard would undoubtedly be filled with anger and discontent towards him.

Steve had someone behind him, so when he entered the hospital room and saw Howard lying in bed, his expression was extremely sorrowful.

His eyes brimmed with tears, and he quickly walked up to the bedside, kneeling down on one knee before Howard's father, looking at his father with a painful cry: "Father, how are you feeling? I was worried about it all the way here..."

Howard was deeply moved and stuttered: "I... I'm okay, good son, don't worry..."

After that, Howard let out a sigh and lamented: "The doctor said... said I may have suffered half-body paralysis... possibly... possibly difficult to recover completely in the future..."

As soon as Steve heard this, his heart was overjoyed, but his face was filled with grief. He turned around and looked at the doctor loudly questioning: "Can you do anything to help my father recover?"

The doctor hastened to explain: "Young master, brain stroke cases like this are not recoverable anywhere in the world, let alone Mr.'s age is over 80. Even if it's a 20-year-old football player who has just suffered an injury, he would not be able to recover completely..."

Steve shouted: "I don't care what methods you use, I'll do my best to help my father recover! The Rockefeller family cannot be separated from his guidance!"

Howard heard him say this and felt extremely relieved, as if someone had put a warm hot water bottle in his chest.

Therefore, he opened his mouth to say to Steve: "Steve, don't... don't bother the doctor anymore... I... I may really have to..."

Steve didn't wait for his father to finish speaking, but quickly grasped his hand and said with red eyes: "Father, please be at ease. You will definitely live a hundred years old! I'll invite all the world's brain stroke experts to come to Gotham to see you, and one day, you can recover your youthful vigor!"

Howard nodded slightly with a trembling smile.

Then, he took a deep breath and continued: "I... I plan to retire... Steve... from now on... the future of Rockefeller will all be entrusted to you."

Steve was overjoyed and his mouth almost uncontrollably curved upwards before he thought of Ye Chen's words and quickly lowered his head, not wanting Howard to see his expression. He said with a sorrowful tone: "Father, I'm not prepared yet, nor can the Rockefeller family immediately lose your guidance. Please focus on recovering and all else will wait until you're recovered."

Howard shook his head: "I... don't want outsiders to see my current condition, so... you come take over, lead the Rockefellers forward..."

As he spoke, Howard added: "My decision is made... you don't need to persuade me anymore..."

Steve hadn't finished speaking when he continued: "Father, then we'll wait until you recover. For this period, I won't do anything else and will stay in Gotham beside you, focusing on your rehabilitation training!"

Howard said with a relieved tone: "You have such a selfless heart... I'm very pleased... that's it... go prepare now, others may still be on their way back... wait until tomorrow, I'll hold a family meeting... then I'll announce my decision to everyone..."

At this moment, Ye Chen exclaimed: "You're truly clairvoyant!" JrNovels.com
