BXBX NOVEL Chapter 29 You Are The Bes
\'What is going on?\' Jordan\'s heartbeat skipped a beat thinking something bad had happened. He was about to enter to check but suddenly paused when he heard his father\'s voice.
"Nanny Rong, do not worry. I will be fine. This is why I am hesitating to tell you or not because you will be like this. You know how this old man hates dramas." Senior Choi said while he laughed.
"Old Master, how can you still laugh right now? There\'s nothing funny at all. You should at least tell the kids about it." Nanny Rong was still sobbing while she spoke.
Senior Choi sighed deeply, "I don\'t want the kids to worry. You well know how those two will behave if they found out. Everything will crumble. Jordan was doing well with managing the company right now."
"I want Big Raven to enjoy her adulthood and schooling. She will surely stop studying and take care of me instead. I don\'t want to burden the kids. I don\'t want that to happen. I won\'t be happy like that." Senior Choi continued.
Nanny Rong still insisted and said, "But they still have to know. They will be sad also if they will find about it very late. They will also feel bad."
Senior Choi smiled at the old lady before him. "My only wish and hope is that I at least witness both of them happy together and I would love to play with little grandchildren before that time comes."
"But I guess, I will be too greedy to ask for that. I can\'t force Jordan to marry just anyone. I knew my son well. He had given his heart already. Unfortunately that one was still young and supposed to be enjoying her youth." Senior Choi laughed.
"Why don\'t we tell Raven about it? I am sure she will understand. She will turn eighteen by now and that is a marriageable age already. Before during dynasties, women were betrothed early, as soon as they bleed as a sign of womanhood." Nanny Rong suggested in a serious tone.
This time around, Senior Choi laughed so hard, "Nanny Rong that was before. Now, woman and man are equals. And it was not my character to dictate things on the kids just to satisfy my will."
"Besides, if the operation went well, the doctor said that I can live for five years more the longest. That\'s not bad at all. Who knows, two to three years from now, I will be ushering my daughter or son to walk into the aisle or even had the adorable grandkids on my lap playing." Senior Choi said with enthusiasm just thinking it could happen and he will experience that before he died.
"Old Master, what if your operation doesn\'t go well and will give you one year or less only to live?" Nanny Rong asked him consciously.
Then there\'s only a moment of silence…
Jordan walked like a thief in the night and went back to the car. He can\'t believe what he had heard. He immediately called Lou and instructed him to check this matter pertaining to his father in secret.
Jordan went directly to the hospital. Lou escorted him to his father\'s doctor.
The doctor explained everything to him and all the pros and cons. His father had a Stage IV of colon cancer. He talked to the doctor to keep his visit a secret from his father and that they will go with his father\'s instruction that supposedly no one should know about his condition. The doctor agreed.
After hearing everything, Jordan was out of himself. He immediately sent a message to his father and chose not to talk to him through the phone right now. He was not confident to maintain a clear voice at this situation.
[Dad let\'s grab dinner outside at your favorite resto. I will treat you. Let\'s meet there at 7:00 PM. Lou already made the reservation]
Senior Choi\'s eyebrow creased, he was not used with his son sending him a message like this first so he replied.
[What happened? Did you cause a problem to the company?]
Jordan replied…
[Of course not. Don\'t you know how excellent your son in business?]
Senior Choi laughed and typed a reply…
[You\'re my son so my genes run through you. Excellency should be expected]
Jordan was now crying while he typed the words…
[Yeah and I am so proud and grateful that you are my father. You are the best!]
\'What\'s with this brat?\' Senior Choi thought then replied.
[What\'s with the drama? That\'s not so you. Stop it already and I will be there at 7:00 PM]
[Oh yeah right… I don\'t need to say this because I am sure you know already how proud I am at you son!]
Jordan continued with his sobbing, this time he had cried harder, reading his father\'s message. His heart was aching so hard right now. He knew that all living things were bound to die. But what is harder was that when you knew that your loved one will SOON fade and die but you cannot do anything about it.
