"I know, but if you disobey my reminder and take good care of yourself, your life will be shortened. Probably, you would have a sudden death one day," Elias pushed up his glasses and said expressionlessly.
He looked indifferent when talking about such a topic that mattered life and death. It showed how heartless he was.
Upon hearing Elias's words, Ben panicked. He instantly looked at Jared and said, "Mr. Farrell, you've heard that. If you don't treasure your health, you..."
"All right, Ben," Jared raised his hand to interrupt him, "I know my health well."
"But..."
Ben still wanted to retort but Jared squinted at him coldly.
Ben parted his mouth, unable to utter any word.
Elias snorted. "Your subordinate just cares about you. You don't even appreciate him."
Jared glanced at him indifferently, ignoring his remark.
Since he was silent, Elias couldn't continue talking. He shrugged and went to check Jared's status.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Farrell." Ben pulled over a chair.
Jared sat down. Then he looked down, lost in thought.
A while later, Elias came over with the checkup report. He handed it to Jared. "Your medical report."
Jared took it over and read it through.
Ben approached to read it as well.
When Ben saw the comment "accelerated cardiac damage", his expression changed instantly. "How could Mr. Farrell's heart fail so fast?"
Jared also creased his eyebrows.
Elias put his hands in the pockets of his white gown and said flatly, "As I said just now, he didn't take care of himself, according to my reminder. Instead, he worked overtime. His heart couldn't bear the load, so the cardiac damage sped up. Hence, I said his life would be shortened."
"I see." Ben clenched his fists tightly and asked, "Would it be better if he started to take care now?"
"Sort of." Elias shrugged.
Ben looked over at Jared. "Mr. Farrell, I know you don't like me to nag about you, but I still want to remind you. For the sake of Master Logan and Ms. Reed, please take care of yourself. Master Logan is still young. He can't do anything. Farrell Group still needs you. You also need to teach Master Logan. Otherwise, how can he deal with those cunning men in the company? Besides, didn't you say you would like to help Ms. Reed in her career so she could be worry-free in the future?"
The more he spoke, the more reddened his eyes were and the more excited he became. "You haven't helped Ms. Reed yet. If you still don't take care of yourself, in case... What should Master Logan and Ms. Reed do?"
Upon hearing his words, Jared's thin lips parted a bit. Then he heaved a sigh and said solemnly, "I know. I'll be careful."
He had to admit Ben's words had poked the sore spot in his heart.
Ben finally smiled.
Right then, Elias chimed in, "All right. You've got the report. Now you can go to the pharmacy to get pills. After leaving the hospital, you didn't rest, so your cardiac damage sped up. You need new medicine. You can't take the previous pills anymore."
Jared hummed. "Go ahead, Ben."
"Yes, Mr. Farrell." Ben nodded. He took over the new prescription from Elias, turned around, and left the examination room.
When Ben got the medicine, they left the hospital.
In the car, Jared suddenly recalled something. Pressing his lips, he said, "Inform Amber not to go to the party tomorrow."
"OK, Mr. Farrell," Ben answered while driving.
