The days slipped by so fast. In the blink of an eye, it was summer again. In the meantime, CY Technology slowly but surely got on the right track and Rain's life was now almost complete. However, there was still one small unpleasant thing that played on his mind. He was concerned about his father, Sanford. He worried that his father might become ill due to the unacceptable behavior of his other two ignorant and incompetent sons and might end up in the hospital again.
Unfortunately, his fears had come to light. Lawrence had just called and informed him that Sanford was indeed sent to the hospital again.
Rain stood outside of the hospital where Lawrence asked to meet with him. "Mr. Rain," Lawrence greeted him respectfully without hesitation. He had no one else to turn to for help except for Rain.
"What is it this time? What is the reason?" asked Rain with a hint of sarcasm and frustration in his voice. He seemed to be the one who always cleaned up the messy situations for his father.
"Mrs. Ke stole Mr. Ke's house title certificate and gave it to their oldest son. So Mr. Ke has no place to live now," said Lawrence with a big sigh. He wondered What was Mrs. Ke thinking when she stole the certificate. Without a house where did she think the two of them would live? Surely she wasn't that naive to think that her two spendthrift sons would take her in?
"Ha! Ha! I guess this is the so-called karma," said Rain cynically. He was unable to tell what he was feeling at that moment. He didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
"Mr. Rain, I'll leave Mr. Ke to you now," said Lawrence, feeling a little bit of guilt as he turned to leave. Even though he felt that he shouldn't be leaving his old sick master so quickly, he really didn't have another choice, as he too needed to find a way out for himself and to support his family.
"Wait! It's not my responsibility to look after him," said Rain shocked. He was still angry at his father. In the past, his father didn't take him seriously so he thought why should he have to take care of his father now?
"Mr. Rain, please have some mercy on your father! If you don't help him, the rest of his life will certainly be extremely miserable," Lawrence said earnestly, full of pity for his old master. He wondered, 'The hospital cost hasn't been paid and also now that the house is gone, he would need money to pay for house renting. But he is an old man with one foot in the grave and he definitely isn't able to make more money, how could he possibly survive without help?'
"I don't care what the rest of his life will be like, he deserves it! I have nothing to do with his misery," Rain said coldly, thinking of what his father had done to him in the past. If he didn't take over the KD Group, it would have gone bankrupt in the end. He just took it over through acquisition without gaining any benefits from it. Yet, through sheer hard work and effort, he made the old KD Group a brand new successful development.
"But you see, I have to support my own family and there is no way for me to continue to take care of him anymore," said Lawrence anxiously. He would never have turned to Rain for help if he knew there was another way. After all, it was his old master that treated Rain and his mother terribly all those years ago.
