I tried my best to control my tears. After that, I got someone to arrange for a car to send my parents back.

My mom started to panic when she saw the security guards getting the car ready for them. “We are not leaving. Anna, we won't leave until you agree to help Steven.”

“Mom, how many times do I have to tell you? There's nothing I can do about this issue. Even if you continue to stay here, it won't change a thing. Stop forcing me, will you?”

I was beginning to get annoyed. It was apparent that they were trying to force me to do what they wanted.

“Anna, if anything happens to Steven, your mom and I...”

Before my dad could finish what he was saying, he collapsed.

I was in shock and quickly supported my dad. His face was so pale that he looked frightening.

I was so freaked out that I quickly phoned Michael. Just then, the chauffeur drove to the gate.

Without any further delay, I told the chauffeur to send us to the hospital immediately.


When I was speaking to Michael, my voice was quavering. My dad had heart problems, and I did not think he was able to accept my rejection.

Michael had no wish to see me, but when he heard that my dad had collapsed, he was equally worried. He knew how important my family was to me.

Upon arriving at the hospital, my dad was taken to the emergency room. While waiting outside the door, I was really worried that the doctor would give me bad news.

Michael came up to me and pulled me into his arms. He consoled me in a soft voice, “Don't worry. Nothing untoward will happen. Believe me.”

Michael's voice seemed to have a calming effect on me. My mom was badly affected by what had happened, and she was praying fervently for her husband.

The door of the operating theatre finally opened after a long time. Both my mom and I rushed up and inquired, “Doctor, how is he?”

The doctor removed his mask, sighed, and said, “The patient had a heart attack because he was getting too emotional. You know that he suffers from heart disease. How can you allow him to be upset?”
I tried my best to control my tears. After that, I got someone to arrange for a car to send my parents back.

The doctor seemed to be blaming us for my dad's condition.

“Is my dad out of danger yet?”

The reprimand from the doctor did not bother me at all. Right now, my dad's health was of utmost concern.

The doctor advised, “At the moment, he's fine. But, he is still unconscious. Once he wakes up, please don't agitate him any further. Do you understand?”

The doctor cast an accusatory glance at me.

“I understand, Doctor. Thank you.”

I knew the doctor meant well, so I did not take his accusation to heart. The most important thing right now was to make sure my dad got well.
