Chapter 72 It is still a cage (1/2)

——

Outside of Imperial's Union Hospital, a white Rolls Royce parks in front of the private hospital.

An old man coughs and gets inside the car with the help of his old driver.

The car starts and drives away.

From the front seat the driver glance at the mirror. His eyes held countless emotions. He felt timid inside, but he spoke anyways, ”Chairman...”

”There's no need to inform them about this.”

”But Chairman. Shouldn't the young—.”

Before the driver could finish, the old man interrupted him.

”Zhang Yong, you've been my assistant for three decades. Just this once I ask you not to tell them.”

The old man took a deep breath and lean his head back. He shut his eyes for a little rest. Silence entered the car, until the old man finally spoke.

”Do you know why I don't want them to know?”

Zhang Yong shook his head while driving. He has been the chairman's assistant for more than thirty years. What he's seen and heard are things that can wake up the dead.

Watching the once proud and strong man become old, even he couldn't understand why the old man would hide this.

”This subordinate does not know. I think, Chairman should let the children know. They will be heartbroken if they find out.”

The old man opens his eyes and looks out the window. Buildings passing one by one.

”That girl may look tough and strong, but that's her way of protecting herself. Her way of protecting me and the boy.”

Zhang Yong continued to listen quietly as the car moves through the streets of Imperial.

”Ever since both her parents passed away, that girl withdrew from the outside world. To her, living was just living.

Shi Yan and I asked her to come live us, we hoped to protect her, but she wanted to stay with her paternal Grandfather.
