"Crash—"
The teacup on the coffee table slid off, and Gordon hit the ground hard.
When Rick walked in, he saw Gordon sprawled on the floor and rushed over, saying, "Sir! You know you have trouble walking; you shouldn't be moving around like that!"
Rick reached out to help Gordon, but Gordon blocked him with a raised hand.
Sweat dotted Gordon's forehead as he took a few labored breaths. Leaning against the coffee table, he managed to get back on his feet.
"I know my legs aren't great, no need to remind me," Gordon said coolly.
"Sir, that's not what I meant," Rick replied, looking concerned.
Gordon glanced down at his legs. It wasn't that he couldn't walk at all; he just couldn't walk normally.
As the head of Aldridge Global, he couldn't let people see him in such a vulnerable state.
So, he chose to stay in a wheelchair, presenting the image of a disabled man.
"Sophie and Colby are getting married. I need you to have someone draft a new list of wedding gifts based on what I mentioned earlier. Also, bring back the rehabilitation equipment."
Gordon's tone was casual, as if he was talking about the weather.
Rick frowned. "Sir, your legs aren't suitable for rehab anymore."
After over ten years in a wheelchair, Gordon's legs couldn't function like a normal person's. Even standing was a struggle, despite his efforts to exercise his leg muscles over the years. Expecting to walk normally in just half a month was unrealistic.
"Having a disabled person at the wedding would bring bad luck," Gordon said bluntly.
"Sir, I disagree," Rick responded.
