Thaddeus‘ head sunk in despair, his hands falling limply to his sides before clenching into fists.
In the end, it was his fault.
If only he hadn’t brought that medication for Chairman Emeric, none of this would have happened.
“Chasel, are you saying that my dad is going to…” Evadne’s voice choked up as her chest filled with a tumultuous dread, as if it was filled with countless steel marbles dropping down, pitter–patter, causing her unbearable anxiety.
“Disease progression to a later stage can affect cognitive functions, leading to a decline in cognitive abilities and intelligence, Even if the muscles that control urination work fine, cognitive impairments may prevent voluntary control, leading to incontinence.”
Chasel’s eyes fell, shadowing the glimmer of sorrow within. “I’ve reviewed Chairman Emeric’s medical history from Dylan and fully understood his condition over the years. His cerebral thrombosis is already at an intermediate stage; he has been concealing it from his family and the public, refusing to retire early, enduring the pain.
There was a chance for a cure in the early stages, but now we can only rely on the latest equipment and medication to alleviate and delay the progression.”
Evadne stared at Chasel’s moving l*ps, unable to contain the overwhelming grief any longer as tears cascaded down her cheeks.
In other words, it can no longer be cured.
The devastating news struck the Ashbourne family like a thunderclap.
The titan of Skyrim, the business tycoon, the king of K Group whose empire never saw sunset.

Seeing Chasel, the other members of the Ashbourne family were quite surprised.
Suri’s eyes widened as she rushed towards him. “Chasel, what on earth brings you here?”
“Cassius‘ father is in trouble; I’d crawl here if I had to, Aunt Suri,” Chasel said, his handsome face glistening with a sheen of sweat, a faint smile touching his l*ps.
Suri lowered her gaze. Her heart twisted with a mix of emotions.
It was she who had sent him away, causing a scene with the Brights and embarrassing Chasel in front of everyone in the Ashbourne family.
Yet, now that the Ashbournes were in trouble, this young man didn’t hesitate to rush over to help, even risking the wrath of the Bright family.
This showed that his feelings for Cassius were genuine.
But if this genuine sentiment would lead them both into an abyss from which there was no return, Suri wished it was nothing more than a fleeting fling.
“Chasel! How’s my dad?”
Evadne, along with the rest of the Ashbourne family, gathered around him, their eyes filled with urgent concern.
“Brace yourselves for what I’m about to say.”
Chasel’s complex gaze paused on Cassius‘ stern face before sweeping over the other family members. “Chairman Emeric’s condition is critical. My advice is to halt all his work and come with me to a state–of–the–art clinic abroad for further treatment. From now on, he must prioritize recuperation; there might still be a chance for improvement.”
“What do you mean by ‘critical‘?” Evadne’s heart felt like it was crashing down around her.
The Ashbourne family was thrown into panic; Myra, Nydia, and Aviana were already on the brink of tears.
“Chairman Emeric’s incontinence can be attributed to the side effects of the medication he was taking.”
“Emeric has only used that medication twice. Even if there are side effects, how could they be so severe?” Suri was infuriated, but thankfully her son Aaron was keeping her steady as her legs threatened to give out.
Chasel hesitated, then decided to lay it all out. “Everyone’s b*dy has different tolerance to medication. A young man might withstand such a dosage, but Chairman Emeric’s age and physical condition no longer allow for such aggressive treatment..
The previous time was to save his life, as the alternative, a lifelong paralysis or brain death, was far worse. But now, we should have proceeded with conventional treatments–even if they’re slower in effect, they’re gradual. Then the reaction we see today might not have emerged so soon.”
Thaddeus‘ head sunk in despair, his hands falling limply to his sides before clenching into fists.
In the end, it was his fault.
If only he hadn’t brought that medication for Chairman Emeric, none of this would have happened.
“Chasel, are you saying that my dad is going to…“, Evadne’s voice choked up as her chest filled with a tumultuous dread, as if it was filled with countless steel marbles dropping down, pitter–patter, causing her unbearable anxiety.
“Disease progression to a later stage can affect cognitive functions, leading to a decline in cognitive abilities and intelligence. Even if the muscles that control urination work fine, cognitive impairments may prevent voluntary control, leading to

l*ps,
Evadne stared at Chasel’s moving l*ps, unable to contain the overwhelming grief any longer as tears cascaded down her cheeks.
In other words, it can no longer be cured.
The devastating news struck the Ashbourne family like a thunderclap.
The titan of Skyrim, the business tycoon, the king of K Group whose empire never saw sunset.

Chapter 662
Was it truly his twilight hour?
Thaddeus‘ phone rang at that moment. It was Jareth. He turned away to answer in a low voice, “Jareth.”
“Thad, I’ve seen the news. Chairman Emeric’s illness is making quite the stir; it looks serious.”
Jareth’s voice was full of concern. “Bro, if there’s anything troubling you, tell me first. You and Evadne are more than friends to me; you’re like family. Whatever it is, I’ll do everything in my power for you.”
“Thanks, Jareth.”
Thaddeus‘ voice was hoarse with emotion, a bitter taste rising in his throat. “If you can, when you have a moment, could you look for some leading experts on cerebral thrombosis, domestically or internationally? I want to do everything I can to help Chairman Emeric and Evadne a little more.”
“Your concerns, no matter how small, are paramount to me. I’ll order our Fairhaven Group to utilize all its resources and contacts to assist you.”
Jareth could hear Thaddeus‘ dejected tone and it pained him. “Thad, don’t wilt on me now. Can you perk up a bit? When I’m at the helm of the Fairhaven Group, facing off against those old geezers, not knowing what to do, I follow your example to letter, man. You’re my role model. You better hold on to that image for me, or who the hell am I supposed to copy?”
Having lost his father early, Thaddeus held a special place in Jareth’s heart; not only as a dear friend but as a brother who guided him through personal growth and progress.
Thaddeus‘ features softened slightly, like the melting ice under the morning sun; his l*ps curled up, but it did little to ease the weight on his heart.
As soon as the call ended, everyone’s phones seemed to synchronize, ringing and vibrating.
”
President Ashbourne! We’ve got a situation!” Jason, who had gone out to handle business for Evadne and Cassius, returned in panic.
As soon as he spoke and saw that the entire Ashbourne family was present, his face paled as if struck by a slow, freezing in place!
At that moment, Evadne and Thaddeus, among others, were already pulling out their phones to check the pushed notifications.
“Shock! High–powered CEO Revealed to Be Gay, Pictures and Truths Inside!”
Next headline:
“K Group’s CEO Secret Late–night Rendezvous with Young Lover Revealed!”
And another:
“K Group’s CEO Cassius‘ Passionate Photos Exposed, Coming Out Confirmed!”
Evadne’s mind went blank, her b*dy shivering as though being plucked from the ground, an overwhelming coldness engulfing her. Her trembling fingers clicked on the headline.
Picture after picture, there was her brother locked in a k*ss with Chasel inside a sports car!
Had these photos been of a man and a woman, they might have been dismissed as nothing scandalous.
But in their case, it was a bombshell that rocked the very foundations of their conservative society!
The text accompanying the images was highly sensational, lascivious, and led to all sorts of wild speculations.
Not just her.
Thaddeus, Arnold, Aaron, every member of the Ashbourne family fell into a suffocating silence upon seeing the news.
Including Chasel, the person in the photos/
His phone dropped to the floor with a clatter, his already pale and haggard face turning ghostly white, his ears buzzing as if next
to a bellows.
Only Cassius stood still, firm as a mountain, his hawk–like eyes unwavering and resolute.
Chasel could hardly breathe. He looked up with blurry eyes at the man he loved, his l*ps pale as he silently mouthed an apology.
“I’m sorry. Cassius, I’m so sorry.”
He was filled with regret.
Regretting approaching to him that night, regretting not keeping his emotions in check, regretting confessing his love.

In the midst of Chasel’s confusion and fear, Suri, her eyes bloodshot with rage, stormed up to him.
“Are you satisfied now?”
Her glare was like a knife, piercing through Chasel with uncontainable fury, “You finally got what you wanted. Your selfish desires have destroyed the man you love. How glorious, how noble your love is, Chasel? Are you happy now? Are you content?”
“Aunt Suri, I…”
Chasel’s eyes lost all light, unable to say anything more.
Suri gritted her teeth, raising her arm and slapping him across the face.
With a resounding sound.
The sharp smack echoed down the hallway.
But it landed on Cassius‘ cheek.
