On one hand, these patriarchs wanted to pass on the position of the head of the family to their heirs in the future. Still, on the other hand, they tried to delay the inheritance as long as possible so that the heirs took the position early enough.
Moreover, they didn't want their heirs to show any excitement and expectation about inheriting the position, nor did they expect any usurpation before the inheritance.
If Julien had shown any sign of passion when his brothers flattered him, albeit a little bit, Harrison would have been furious, filled with anger and resentment toward him.
However, Julien's reaction exceeded his expectations, and in his view, it was nothing short of perfect.
Thanks to Charlie's advice, Julien composed himself, and the minute he entered the ward and saw Harrison on the bed, he immediately curled his lips down and donned a sad grimace.
With teary eyes, he walked quickly to the bed, knelt on one knee, looked at Harrison, and asked in a choking voice, "Dad! How are you? I'm so worried!"
"G-Good son..." Harrison stammered, touched. "I-I'm fine. D-Don't wor-r-ry."
After that, he sighed and muttered, "T-The doctor said that I-I am paralyzed on one side. H-He e-even said that i-it may be hard to fully recover."
"Impossible!" snapped Julien sorrowfully, albeit the fact that he was overjoyed. He turned to the doctor and asked anxiously, "Doctor! Can't you do anything about it?"
The doctor instantly explained, "Mr. Julien, no one in the world can fully recover from a stroke. Even a young and healthy athlete in his 20s can't fully recover from an injury, let alone an 80-year-old man from a severe stroke."
