Jonathan stood there in stunned silence for a while. "Grandpa was perfectly fine just a month ago. How could this happen..."
"His organ failure has become severe."
"This is all because you prevented me from seeing Grandpa a month ago. This is just swell, isn't it? I won't have many chances to see him anymore!"
"Perhaps if you had taken better care of Grandpa, this wouldn't have happened."
Jonathan's anger surged, his eyes blazing with fury. His teeth clenched tightly as if he wanted to bore a hole through Joseph. "You're so selfish, Joe!"
Joseph's demeanor remained indifferent, his voice calm. "Don't force me to resort to violence."
Goosebumps erupted on Jonathan's arms as he gazed at Joseph's expression which was devoid of joy or worry. There was an air of invincibility about Joseph as if nothing could bring him down. His commanding presence exuded an inherent imperial demeanor, making Jonathan feel like an insignificant ant, perpetually destined to be trampled underfoot.
Jonathan left in despair, determined to use his own abilities to save his father. He silently contemplated, 'Grandpa always favored Joe. Maybe after he passes, I’ll face fewer troubles.'
Meanwhile, the hospital director and several doctors emerged from the operating room. Upon closer examination, the director's forehead glistened with cold sweat, his lips had turned pale, and his previously slightly hunched back was now stiff and straight.
"Mr. Joseph, here’s the amniotic fluid sample you requested," said one of the doctors as he handed the sample to Lucas.
"That was quick.” It had only been about fifteen minutes since they entered.
"Yes, amniocentesis usually takes around ten minutes. I brought some students to observe the procedure, but unfortunately, they were late. I apologize for the delay."
Joseph directed a piercing gaze at the hospital director, who trembled in response. "Yes... A few students were being irresponsible. We’ll inform you of the results one week from now."
