My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Her Spirit is Terrifyingly Strong

"President Grant is in the hospital? What happened to him?"

"President Grant hasn’t been well recently. He’s been drinking and staying up late every night. Then with what happened today, he got an earful from leaders at every level. He collapsed right after the press conference. The doctor said he has low blood pressure, erosive gastritis, a duodenal ulcer... All in all, he’s in very bad shape right now."

Zeke Walton rushed to the hospital.

Seeing Shane Grant lying unconscious on the hospital bed, his face pale, Zeke’s heart shattered into a million pieces.

They hadn’t seen each other in two months. How had he gotten so thin!

Zeke Walton waited by the bed for over an hour, but Shane Grant didn’t wake up.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving anytime soon, the assistant spoke up hesitantly.

"Mr. Walton, since you’re here to stay with him, would you mind if I stepped out to handle something else?"

"The doctor said President Grant needs to be hospitalized for a while to rest. I was thinking of going back to his place to get him a change of clothes."

Having just cared for him in the hospital recently, Zeke Walton was all too familiar with the routine.

’This is a good chance to atone for my sins and ease my guilt,’ he thought, standing up.

"You’ve had a tough time recently, too. You sit here and rest. I’ll go."

Soon, Zeke Walton drove to the Grant family home.

Inside the Grant home, Cecelia Archer, oblivious to the goings-on of the world, was building blocks with her two innocent children.

When she saw him come in, pale and dejected, Cecelia Archer immediately knew something was wrong.

"Zeke, what are you doing here? What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?"

"No."

Zeke Walton glanced at the two children and spoke softly to Cecelia Archer.

"It’s Shane. He’s sick. The doctor said he needs to be hospitalized for a few days to rest. I came to get him a change of clothes."

’He’s sick? What’s wrong with him?’

’No wonder he’s barely called since he left on his business trip. So he was sick!’

Zeke Walton didn’t want to tell Cecelia Archer the truth, but on second thought, with the Grant Group in such dire straits, her plans to take the children abroad would probably have to be postponed. She would have to find out sooner or later.

The two of them went upstairs.

After listening to Zeke Walton’s explanation, the color drained from Cecelia Archer’s face.

"So that’s it? Is there any way to salvage this?"

Zeke Walton shook his head. "No. I heard from the assistant that the Grant Group’s funds are extremely tight right now. Five billion was sunk into that worthless plot of land. The pressure from the daily bank loan payments alone is immense, not to mention the Vaughn Group is already in the process of acquiring those 500 acres. Even if the Grant Group had the money to fight for it, we couldn’t win."

Cecelia Archer looked at his face intently. After he finished speaking, she pressed him.

"Why couldn’t we win? To your knowledge, did the Vaughn Group offer them some kind of uniquely exclusive terms?"

Zeke Walton was surprised that Cecelia Archer could even ask such a question after hearing his pessimistic description.

He didn’t know whether to call her naive or bold.

"Why are you asking that?"

Cecelia Archer said, "I just want to understand the situation clearly. Can you explain it to me in detail? Why couldn’t we beat the Vaughn Group even if we had the funds? They haven’t signed the final contract yet, have they? If we offered a higher price or more generous terms in other areas, how can you be so sure we definitely couldn’t win?"
