Violet looked at the determination in the man's eyes and smiled all at once, "Remember what you said."
"I will." Stanley hugged her tightly.
Violet raised her hand and wrapped it around the man's waist.
The corners of Steven's mouth twitched as he looked at his sister and brother-in-law who were showing their love in front of him.
It didn't take long for the doctor to come out of Eason's hospital room.
Violet let go of Stanley and stepped forward to ask, "Doctor, how is he?"
"The patient has suffered a lot of stimulation and is not doing well. The patient had the will to live, but I just diagnosed it and found that the patient's will to live is not so strong anymore." The doctor replied with a sigh.
Violet wasn't much surprised to hear that.
She informed Eason of those things, and if Eason still wanted to live, he was heatless.
It was only normal to not want to live.
After all, Eason already knew that he had utter failure, and with Eason's strong self-esteem, he had would not want to live.
"I got it, thank you, doctor." Violet gave a slight bow to the doctor.
The doctor waved his hand and then walked away.
Stanley looked at Violet, "Since Eason will be dying, do you want to stay in the country for some time? If you want to wait until after he dies, I can negotiate with the organizer to suspend the competition."
"Is that okay?" Violet was somewhat intent.
She had said that Eason had brought them into the world and that they, as sons and daughters, would send Eason away.
Because, after all, he is their father.
She didn't want to go back on her word either.
"Yes, it just so happens that the annual Fashion Week is about to start, and many designers should be eager to participate in it. If the competition is suspended, they could attend the Fashion Week, I'm sure they would be willing to do so." Stanley said with a nod.
Violet squeezed the corners of her mouth, "Well then, thank you, Stanley."
"Never mind, what about you?" Stanley looked again at Steven.
Steven smiled, "I'm planning to stay in the country to keep Eason company, I'll ask my teacher for leave."
Stanley nodded and asked no more questions.
After that, the three of them left the hospital and went back to home.
In the evening, after dinner, Violet received a call from the hospital.
To be precise, it was Eason who called.
But when Eason woke up in the afternoon, he had a stroke and became a paralytic, unable to move his entire body.
So Eason called the nurse on duty and called Violet for him.
"Violet." Eason's voice came out, even weaker than during the day, gasping for air after a word.
At this moment, Violet was really aware that he was old and dying.
"Is there something wrong?" Violet asked, suppressing the sourness in her heart and trying to make her voice sound cold.
Eason closed his eyes, "I was trying to say sorry to you and Steven."
"Sorry?" Violet narrowed her eyes.
Eason sighed, "Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm not a good father, I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for your mother."
"So you called tonight to say you know you were wrong before and apologize to us? Unfortunately, my mother is already dead, your apology can't be heard by her!" Violet said mockingly.
Eason was silent for two seconds, "No, I'm not just apologizing, I want to tell you something else."
