Rufus fixed his eyes on the figures behind the curtain. He couldn't make anything out from the vague shadows beneath the cloth.
He could do nothing but guess what they could be doing. As a man who wanted complete control over things, he hated not knowing what was happening inside the room.
As he was restlessly trying to peek past the curtain, his cellphone rang. Victor's name popped up on the screen. "What is it?" Rufus asked.
"Mr. Luo, Mr. Tang was just sent to the hospital. He had an asthma attack," Victor said anxiously.
There was static and noise over Victor's end, and Rufus could hear Jill's worried voice in the background.
"Shit. Okay. I'll be there in a bit. Have someone here to watch over Cassandra. I'll text you the location," Rufus said in an upset voice. It had been an awful day.
Rufus threw his cigarette on the ground and extinguished it with his foot fiercely. He glanced back at the window again, but the light had already beem turned off.
His eyes darkened just as his jaw started to clench. Rufus gripped his phone and quickly texted Victor the location before shoving it back into his pocket. Then he rushed towards the hospital.
Once he reached the hospital, most of the Tang family members were seen waiting outside the emergency room.
Jill was sitting by the bench, trying her hardest to wipe her tears away. Ivy was doting on her, patting her on the back to calm her down. Lionel was pacing the hallway, struggling to keep himself steady.
Rufus approached the family and walked up to Lionel. When their eyes met, Lionel stopped pacing and kept himself still.
"What happened? How is father?"
Rufus's face now looked solemnly grim, which, Lionel falsely thought, was due to his worry for Horace.
"Mother and father were fighting, and that was what triggered the attack," Lionel answered quickly.
While he spoke, his peripheral vision glanced at Jill, who couldn't stop her tears from streaming down.
Rufus held a cold expression and looked towards the direction. Jill seemed to notice the gaze, so she raised her head and met Rufus's eyes.
She hated how he looked at her. She stood up quickly, eyes all red and puffy.
"What are you giving me that look for? Don't think that you're not to blame for this! We wouldn't even be fighting if it weren't for you! It was all your fault! Your father is now in an emergency condition because of you!" the woman yelled hysterically.
