Chapter 1303 A Sealed Fate
Harry had suddenly collapsed, and that incident occurred so abruptly that it landed a huge impact on the Lores. They could not help feeling stricken by that.
They were well aware that the strong pillar that could support the entire Lore Family did not lie among any of them, but Harry was the very key in all this.
His role as a professor at the university allowed him to build up a lot of connections in the academic world. These older generations in the field also had connections in every industry.
That was why each time the Lore Family needed help in any matter, the problem would be resolved easily once Harry made a move to contact any of his close friends in the academic world. Most importantly, he held the position of Toby’s mentor.
There were some things that his friends in the academic world could not quite achieve, but Toby was an exception. Therefore, it was fair to say that the Lores were able to continue surviving and stand tall because Harry was still around.
If he suddenly passed away, then the older generations in the academic world would no longer care about the Lores. Even Toby would gradually cut ties with their family.
Although he had already severed ties with the Lores, there was a chance that they could rebuild the connection if Harry survived.
However, if he passed away, then their hopes would be dashed entirely.
As such, none of them wished to see Harry ill. As soon as they heard that he had collapsed from the shock upon seeing Toby’s statement, they were frightened out of their wits. Subsequently, they hastily took leave from their jobs and rushed to the hospital to care for Harry.
However, they did not expect the hospital to diagnose him as having symptoms of a moderate stroke. Once he regained consciousness, his health would be worse than before.
For example, in the past, he was able to walk without a cane, but from now on, he would need a cane to support his movement. If his condition was more severe than expected, then he might even need to be in a wheelchair.
Another example would be that in the past, he could articulate and gesture smoothly, but from now on, his speech might become slurred, or perhaps even stutter. His moves would become slower than before, and it might be tough for him to grip something in his hands.
Ultimately, Harry would no longer be as sprightly as he was; he would end up as a frail old man needing constant care. This came as a significant impact on the Lores.
Though they all heaved a sigh of relief because he remained alive, his body was considered destroyed, and they were unsure how long he was able to keep going.
As soon as the diagnosis was made known, the Lores were dejected. The mood in the room turned somber. Even Amelia burst into tears more than once.
Although Grayson did not tear up, he looked extremely downcast. Meanwhile, Lynette stood expressionlessly by the windowsill. No one knew what she was currently thinking of.
As for the other members of the Lore Family, they had received word as well and scrambled to get back to the country from abroad. Those who were out of town also made plans to return to Seafield.
After all, Harry was in such a state, so they had to return to visit him. There was a chance that they might not get to see him again.
“Sob. Honey, why did everything end up in such a state?” Amelia sat next to Grayson and continued to whimper softly. “Why did Dad suddenly collapse?”
He was significantly annoyed by her cries. “That’s enough! Stop crying. Why are you asking me? I have no idea at all. I only knew Dad attended a dinner party with Lynette and somehow angered Toby again. That resulted in him releasing a statement that he would sever ties with our family.”
As they spoke, they glanced in unison at Lynette, who was standing by the window.
