Clayton frowned slightly. His arm around her shoulder tightened, and his voice was firm and low.
"It's okay. It'll be okay.’’
Clayton did not forget to take Nicole's phone before they left. He had never seen her so frazzled before. Her eyes were blank, which made his heart tighten.
Nicole's body was stiff and trembling.
She really hoped that it was a false alarm.
However, she also knew that Kai would never joke about Floyd's health.
Nicole trembled and wanted to call Kai to ask about the specifics, but Kai was also in a hurry. There was a lot of background noise, so she simply could not hear him clearly.
Clayton comforted her with his deep voice.
"Don't be scared, Nicole. We'll be there soon."
He noticed her subconsciously tightened hands and immediately held them.
The driver drove very fast, and they arrived at the hospital in just ten minutes.
Grant's people were downstairs to pick them up.
Nicole followed with an unpleasant expression and saw Grant and Kai standing there, talking to Director Sven with a glum expression on their faces. Aida also looked sorrowful.
Floyd was still hale and hearty when Nicole last saw him. He even wanted to go fishing every day.
Nicole quickly ran over. "Uncle Sven, how's my dad?"
She was in a trance, but she could feel the bad premonition in her heart.
Director Sven sighed, looked at Grant, and then at Nicole.
"Ms. Stanton, you should be mentally prepared. Your father's heart surgery fifteen years ago was successful, but recently, his health has been deteriorating day by day. Last night, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. When he was taken to the hospital, he had another cardiac arrest. That's not a good sign. All of his vitals are within the normal range, but heart problems aren't a minor issue.”
Nicole pursed her lips. Her face was completely pale.
For so many years, Floyd had been living so simply and easily that she forgot that he had only come off the operating table after a narrow escape from death.
