Chapter 9 - A SUDDEN VISITOR (1/2)

TODAY was Xiao Yan's first day of physical therapy. Luo Wei Tian wanted to go straight to the hospital but he was still at his office finishing important paperworks. He was on the last page of the last paper when his assistant knocked on the door and came in.

”What is it?” he asked not removing his gaze from the paper he was reading.

”President Luo, President Bai is here,” assistant Wen said.

Luo Wei Tian stopped his movements and raised his head, slightly surprised. ”Bai Chen?”

` ”Yes, President.”

”Let him come in.”

When assistant Wen walked out of the office, Luo Wei Tian stood up and walked towards the floor to ceiling window. He already knew the reason for Bai Chen's sudden visit.

A moment later, a man in his 50s entered the room. Just like Luo Wei Tian, the man was also well maintained. Although he had more strands of white hair and the laugh lines on the side of his eyes were more prominent. His face was the type that was bright and honest. But only people who dealth with him, especially those in the same business, knew that he was anything but.

This was Bai Chen - the current head of the Bai Family and also the older brother of Luo Wei Tian's deceased wife.

”You came much faster than I thought,” Luo Wei Tian started, not bothering in any formalities. There's no need for that between the two because even before they became brothers-in-law, they were friends first.

Bai Chen raised one of his brows. Luo Wei Tian was still the type who would go straight to the point. He sat down comfortable on one of the couches in the office.

”I would have come much sooner if my schedule wasn't quite so hectic,” Bai Chen said. When he received the news that his second nephew woke up after his long coma, he wanted to visit immediately. But he was finishing an important deal that he couldn't put off so he couldn't just leave B City even if he wanted to. ”How is Xiao Yan? Are there any negative sequelaes from the coma?”

”Fortunately, there are none. His brain is working properly, all his organs are functioning well. There is even no problem in walking again as long as he undergoes proper physical therapy. Although he is currently suffering from amnesia. But the doctor said it was already quite the miracle that he only suffered from that.” Yes, a miracle that he, Luo Wei Tian, wouldn't waste and take for granted.

Bai Chen was slightly surprised upon hearing that. But yes, the doctor was right. Having amnesia was definitely better than being permanently paralyzed. At least this way, he could still have a normal life.

”How's Father-in-law?” Luo Wei Tian asked.

It was only for a moment, but sadness flashed in Bai Chen's eyes when he heard the question. ”Still the same. There are days that his mind is clear, but those are far and few between.”

The patriarch of the Bai family had been suffering from dementia for years now. Losing his daughter right after losing his wife certainly attributed to that. The former strong man just wilted like a dry plant. If Bai Chen still hadn't established himself as the president of the Bai Group, many people would have surely taken advantage of the situation.

”We'll go and visit on Mid-Autumn Festival,” Luo Wei Tian simply said.

”That would be good. My sons haven't seen their cousin for quite a while now. I'm sure they'll be glad for their visit.”
