The Taylors were astonished to find Julien at the hospital. Mandy's eyes widened in surprise as she dashed over
to him. "Why are you here?"
"Jonah's dad is in trouble. | have to show up to help, no matter what it takes, Aunt Mandy." Julien grinned, his
lovely face covered in sweat.
Feeling horrible, Mandy stared at her feet. She was the one who chased Julien out of Heightsnew Villa, alerted
the Lovelaces about it, and the reason Julien was humiliated in front of the Taylors.
She hadn't expected Julien to have dropped everything to help the Taylors when they were in trouble, which
would put him at risk of getting punished by the Lovelaces. This showed that he was serious about Jonah.
Nevertheless, if the true love between Julien and Jonah would only land them in hot water, she'd rather Julien
treat Jonah as one of his many flings.
"Julien, how's Dad doing?" Alyssa and the rest of her family surrounded Julien, casting worried looks at him.
"Please brace yourself before listening to what | have to say." Julien directed a complicated look at Jonah's face
before scanning the others. "Mr. Winston's condition is not optimistic at all.
"| suggest keeping him away from work and followingto Mosgravia for follow-up treatments. From now on, he

"Not optimistic? What's that supposed to mean?" Alyssa had a sinking feeling in her gut while the other family
members spiraled into chaos.
Lyla, Tatiana, and Colene teared up when they heard the medical update.
"We've diagnosed Mr. Winston's incontinence as a side effect of drugs."
"But Winston has just taken the drug twice. Even if there were side effects, they couldn't be this serious!" Mandy
was badly shaken. Cyrus had to hold her to stop her from collapsing.
After shesitation, Julien decided to be upfront. "Every patient has a different tolerance to drugs. A younger
man could have handled the side effects better, but given Mr. Winston's age, his health does not allow him to
undergo such extrtreatment.
"What happened last twas to save his life. After all, we don't want him permanently paralyzed or brain dead,
do we? But this time, things are different.
"After he is resuscitated, we should perform conventional treatments on him. The results will take tto show,
but at least he will be making slow and steady progress instead of experiencing the horrible side effects like
what happened today."
Jasper hung his head dejectedly. His arms went limp, and his fists tightened. He assumed the blbecause all
this wouldn't have happened if he hadn't provided Winston with the medicine.
"Julien, do you mean that Dad would sooner or later..." Alyssa's voice trailed off. She choked up, feeling like she
was on pins and needles.
"This illness, in its advanced phase, will affect the patient's cognitive functions, leading to a decrease in
cognitive abilities and 1Q. The patient's bladder muscles might work as usual, but the patient will experience
incontinence due to losing muscle control from cognitive impairment," explained Julien.
He stared at the floor to conceal his emotions. "I obtained Mr. Winston's medical records from Mr. Benton to get
an overview of his health over the past few years.
"He's been suffering from a moderate stroke, which he kept a secret from his family and the public. He has been
desperately hanging on to his work and refusing to retire early.
"It would have been easier to treat a minor stroke. Now, all we can do is use the most advanced equipment and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmedication to alleviate his symptoms and slow down the disease's progression."
Alyssa never once moved her eyes from Julien's lips. Overwhelmed by sadness, she wept, knowing that Winston
would never recover.
The upsetting news struck the Taylor family like thunder. Would this spell the end for the Belbanks tycoon and
the King of KS Group?
Jasper received a call from Landon at that time. He quickly answered the call with his back turned toward the
others. "Landon."
"Jasper, | saw the news. Mr. Winston's illness is the talk of the town. It sounds serious." Landon's voice was filled
with concern. "Bro, tellimmediately if you need help. You and Lyse are more than friends to me; you're
family. I will try my best to help you no matter what happens."
"Thank you, Landon." Jasper, in a bitter and hoarse tone, replied, "If you have the time, please look for experts in
treating stroke in Cyrris and abroad. I'd like to help Mr. Winston and Lyse to the best of my ability."
"Your problem is of utmost importance to me. I'll utilize all resources in the Harper Group to get you the medical
expert."
