SWNOVELS Chapter 494
Chapter 494 Putting an End to All This
To be precise, it was a diagnosis report
A diagnosis report was obtained, which confirmed that Mr. Morris had cancer
Moreover, I saw the words "cancer cell metastasis" and "advanced stage of the disease" in it
That is to say, old Morris didn't have many days left to live in this world
"My whole life could be considered extremely lucky, but to be honest, I never expected that in my later years, I would lose the favor of the goddess of luck so quickly. In fact, ever since the doctor suspected that I had a tumor in my brain, I had been preparing for this day. Aaron,
did you really think all along that I kept you in New York just so you and your brother could compete for the position of heir?"
Mr. Morris sat back in his chair, and I couldn't tell if it was just my imagination, but at that moment, a glimmer of moisture flickered 1n his cloudy eyes
"T admit that I had a gambling mindset, and initially, I refused to believe that I had truly contracted an incurable disease. I thought..
what if that tumor 1s benign, what if I still have many years to live? Of course, I didn't want to give up all my power so soon. But when I arranged for you to join the headquarters of the company, it was not only to hide the fact that I was ill but also because I genuinely wanted you to come back. You will never know how proud I am when others mention Jeff Morris' son and call him a wolf on Wall Street."
And you, Joe, I am very grateful for your dedication to your younger brother over the years, and I also appreciate everything you have done for Morris Group. You are like a son to me, but as you just said, you have a lot more conscience than I do
Now, I beseech you, my children, please forgive that father who once had no conscience. I have lost everything overnight, and even my life is about to be lost. The doctor said that if I continue working, I may not even last a year
But if I can rest well at home, perhaps there are still five years left for me to live
Joe's body stiffened involuntarily for a moment because of these words, and Aaron also looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief
When the time a person can spend with their loved ones is clearly quantified, even the
deepest grudges will slowly shatter at this moment
Moreover, Mr. Morris repeatedly apologized to his two sons, Aaron and Joe, today. Both Aaron and Joe are not too heartless individuals, and anyone would feel uncomfortable seeing their usually stubborn and authoritative father humbly begging for their forgiveness
Just as I was immersed in a melancholic mood, old Morris suddenly called out my name
To be honest, our previous interactions have always been fine

But it wasn't until I found out about everything he had done in the past, along with Aaron being away from New York during that time, that my conversation with old Morris in the hospital room was not pleasant. So, when he called out
to me at this moment, I might still have a hint of regret
I regretted not being able to end the conversation calmly at that time, so at this moment, I also instinctively avoided making eye contact with him
However, old Morris didn't seem to care. At that moment, he had nothing to hide from us anymore, so he remained calm as if he was really entrusting matters behind him as if he wouldn't see us tomorrow
He waved at me, and I went over as he instructed. Then I heard him laugh and praise me
"Thank you for teaching Molly and Jasmin so well. Honestly, at first, 1 couldn't decide whether to tightly hold onto everything I had and end my
life on the high throne in the company within less than a year, or to tell you all everything and exchange it for a simple five years, heading towards the end of life."
Until this morning, I received a call from Cinder. You know what, Molly has started speaking, and she called me grandpa! Although her speech was not clear, I was truly touched
When Aaron and Joe were young, I was completely absorbed in my business empire, wanting everyone to recognize me as a genius, but I neglected my responsibilities as a father
However, after so many years, Molly and Jasmin have finally deepened the bond of blood in my heart
After I hung up the phone this morning, I suddenly became afraid, afraid that I wouldn't be able to see these two children grow up. Even if
it's just for five years, I want to see what adorable little girls Molly and Jasmin will become in five years."
When he mentioned that Molly called him grandpa on the phone, I almost shed tears
Mr. Morris just thanked me for teaching the children so well, but in fact, I haven't visited them at Cinder's place for many days
I didn't know that Molly had already started saying some words. I almost missed her most important moment of growth!
It's all because of this damn family dispute, I think we had to put an end to all of this
