Louie was confused by the expression in Ryan's eyes. She then heaved a sigh, and tears began to shed tears from the rims of her eyes.
She said, "The test result is coming out tomorrow in the hospital, and I will go and take it. I don't want to get dad and mom shocked anymore."
Staring at the houses set far ahead for a while, Ryan sighed,"Indeed, they still need more time to go over this. After all, they are old, and people who get old fear losing their young loved ones."
Raising her hand and wiping off the tears on her face, Louie nodded, "It's still hard to believe that Jakub would ever resort to extremity. He must have been going through a hard time, and things would be different if we had ever noticed that."
Remaining silent for a while, Ryan answered, "He is too weak to bear what makes a successful man. In a big family like that of ours, the greater wealth we own, the bigger pain we have to take. No one has ever been easy, after all. Even your own father used to lead a highly stressful lifestyle when he was a child, with which that of Jakub could never compare. However, he made it, and changed his life — just look the prosperity that our company has gained for these years in his hand."
Hearing the words of Ryan, Louie'd got nothing to say.
Looking at the mason not far away with an absent-minded look on his face, Ryan sighed, "If only Jakub could be like you. I know that you've been hard for these years, but you made it through, just like your father."
Louie turned around and casted a glance at Ryan, "But I…"
Somehow, something forced her to bite back the rest of her words.
She was tired and shattered as well, and felt being suffocated by nearly every day of her life.
However, she knew that Tomas didn't really put all his expectations on her, and thus she would be able to get rid of all this sooner or later in the future.
It gave her hope to strive forwards, and the hope had helped her get through everything.
Maybe, it was just something that Jakub failed to see, and thus he chose to end his life with the bottle of pesticide after the car accident.
Last night, she had sent her men to check out the spot where the car accident happened, and found that there was a recently dropped empty bottle of pesticide, which looked quite new.
Louie was not exactly in the mood to move forwards on this topic, so she turned to Ryan and lifted him up, "Let's go inside, grandpa. I don't feel easy about leaving you here alone."
Without saying anything, the old man went back into the mason together with Louie.
Louie supported Ryan back to his own room, and the old man just sat by the bedside with a sour look on his face.
Looking around for a while, Louie then asked, "Have you got any pills with you, grandpa? If you don't, please make sure that you've brought some standing drugs just in case. I'm worried about you honestly."
The old man waved his hand, "No, I'm fine. Just go and check your father, and see if he's getting better. The case has been settled, and life still goes on."
Louie nodded, "OK, I'm on my way. Just call me if you need us."
No response was heard from the old man. Then, Louie stood up and left.
As the door was closed, she leant by the doorway, with the bitterness and grievance on her face disappeared completely.
She didn't head to the room of Tomas. Instead, she went back to that of hers.
Marshall gave Katherine a call before he was off duty, and Katherine told him that she was at Kyle's club currently instead of their own house.
In haste, he asked whom she was hanging around with there. He thought that Frances was there accompanying her, but it didn't seem to be the fact.
And then, he could not help asking what she was doing around there.
Without being secretive and defensive, she simply told him that since Hector was about to leave here and head back for his training, she and Kyle were planning to get together with Hector before he left.
Hearing that, Marshall muttered, "Haven't you guys already seen each other last time?"
Katherine answered with a cold voice, "I don't know how you have the nerve to mention that, but I remembered that you had staged an incident before me that time."
Marshall tutted, "But I was not the only one! You know you should never exclude my father and Nicolas Dixon from that thing!"
