The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 6214

Charlie entered the room, and the minute he saw the wide grin on Julien's face, he knew that something must have happened to Harrison, so he asked, "Oh, why are you so happy? Is it about your dad?"

"W-What?" Julien stammered. "D-Do I look happy?"

Pointing to his lips while nodding, Charlie teased, "You are literally grinning from ear to ear, and it seems impossible to uncurl it."

Julien hastily rubbed the corners of his mouth and mumbled, "I just couldn't help it..."

Then, he resisted a smile, feigned a sad grimace, and said, "I received news from the family. M-My father had a stroke."

Charlie nodded calmly, feeling no surprise. Harrison was in his eighties, after all. His golden age combined with the devastation of the loss of the Four-Sided Treasure Tower that he treasured so much had definitely taken a huge blow to his body and soul. He should count his blessing that he hadn't died right away.

The Rothschild family's medical team must have played an indispensable role because he was able to withstand the terrible news and remain alive at the age of 84. Maybe the stem cell injection they regularly received came into play at this moment.

With a mocking smile, Charlie said in a rather serious tone, "It's still too early to tell. An illness like a stroke can be cured with effort. When I say cured, I don't mean out of danger, but recover."

Since there were only the two of them in the room, Julien stripped off all pretense and lamented, "To be honest, I don't know much about his current condition. I heard that he's still in emergency care. In our family, any sudden illness ensures that there won't be any issues with the timeliness and methods of rescue, so my father will receive the best care in the world ASAP. If he really makes it through, I'll have no choice but to wait for my turn..."

He paused for a short while and sighed. "If something really happens in the future, I'm afraid that I'll be powerless to do anything about it. I can only hope for the best."

"Yes, this!" Charlie chuckled and affirmed, "This is what you're supposed to look like now. Keep this feeling of despair and disappointment so that when you go home and stand by your father's bedside, you won't give yourself away. You must know that your brothers must be genuinely heartbroken because of your father's sudden stroke. If you're pretending, it's easy to slip up. If your father catches even the slightest hint of a smile on your lips, he might just decide to disown you on the spot."

"Oh! I see!" Julien stared at Charlie with wide eyes, surprised and gratified. "Thanks for your advice. I understand!"
