Since She Met Lucian

"Something distressed him?" Since Nicholas had a hard time moving around, Darren had to constantly be by his side.

When the doctor finished the treatment and had given him prescriptions, Nicholas was immediately relieved. Lucian then headed downstairs to ask Darren about what had happened.

"Mr. Lucian, I think it must have something to do with Mrs. Fannie." Darren was so nervous that his hands were trembling. He then told Lucian what had happened. "This morning when Mrs. Fannie got up, she left with a suitcase. Mr. Nicholas began to cough nonstop that he fell on the ground. His forehead was swollen..."

Angrily, Lucian questioned, "I can't believe you didn't tell me right away when that sounded like an emergency to me!"

Darren began to panic upon seeing that Lucian had gotten angry. Hurriedly, he explained, "Mr. Nicholas told me not to tell you because you were preoccupied with Mrs. Amelia. He didn't want to add to your problems..."

After that, Lucian calmed himself down and ordered, "Cook some porridge and send someone to find out where Mrs. Fannie is."

"I have already sent out several of my men to look for Mrs. Fannie. I assure you, Mr. Lucian, that we are doing something about this," Darren replied respectfully.

When Lucian returned upstairs, the attending doctor had just finished Nicholas's infusion. He then reported to Lucian about Nicholas's current condition.

As Lucian stood in front of the bed, an array of mixed feelings surged inside him.

Since he took control over the Zhan Group, he rarely came back home mostly for two reasons: the first one was that he already had his hands full with the business and the second one was to avoid his mother's nagging about him getting married.

"Lucian, what are you doing here?" Nicholas asked hoarsely when he opened his eyes.

"Dad, I asked the servant to cook porridge for you. Would you like some?"

Seeing his son's nervous look, Nicholas consoled him, "Don't worry. I'm fine. I'm just getting old. My blood pressure tends to act up when I'm stressed or worried."

This didn't help with Lucian's concerns—he only grew more worried for Nicholas. When the servant came up to serve the porridge, Lucian fed Nicholas.

Lucian had never done this before which was why Nicholas was happy that his son was taking care of him.

"Has Amelia been discharged from the hospital?" Nicholas asked in concern after he had finished eating.

"Yes, she's already out of the hospital." With that, Lucian finally told his father about the pregnancy. "Dad, congratulations. You're going to be a grandpa!"
