Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 576: I just want to protect you and see you happy...
This way, Neal Galan can receive a lesson without actually getting hurt.
As the whip came down, the Old Master Galan angrily questioned, "Hmph, not married? Then what about the girl you got engaged to half a year ago? Didn’t you say you were getting married soon? You didn’t let this old man know about the marriage and still hide from me claiming you’re not married. Is this how you deceive me? You unfilial son..."
After speaking, Old Master Galan raised the whip in his hand fiercely again.
Just when the whip was raised, Old Master Galan suddenly felt a bout of dizziness, followed by staggering backward, unable to stand steadily.
Neal Galan saw this and immediately stood up.
He quickly supported the unsteady old man, worriedly asking, "Grandfather, what’s wrong?"
Grandfather Galan glared at Neal Galan, "What’s wrong with me? I’m almost angered to death by you!..."
After calming down a bit, he looked at Neal Galan again and chided, "You rascal, who told you to stand up? Go back and kneel properly!"
"Alright, I’ll kneel." Neal Galan agreed readily, looking toward the wheelchair, "Grandfather, please sit down first, don’t let my actions upset your health..."
"I don’t need... your unfilial self to control!" Old Master Galan shouted angrily, forcefully pushing away Neal Galan’s supporting hand.
Melody Parker saw this scene from afar.
She quickly stepped forward and supported the old man’s other arm, soothing him, "Grandfather, Neal made a mistake, you can punish him and let him kneel here, but please don’t upset your health!"
Seeing Melody Parker, Old Master Galan immediately perked up, "Granddaughter-in-law, you’re here."
Before Melody Parker could speak, the old man turned and angrily glared at Neal Galan, saying with an angry face, "This unfilial son actually said he’s broken up with you, saying you two are not married?"
Saying this, the old man turned again to look at Melody Parker, grasping her hand, suppressing his anger, and kindly inquired, "Good granddaughter-in-law, tell Grandfather, is this rascal lying to me, did you two secretly get married?"
Upon hearing the old man’s inquiry, Melody Parker finally understood why Neal Galan was being punished.
Half a year ago, she had told Neal not to deceive the elderly.
Now, look, he got beaten for nothing.
Melody Parker didn’t speak, Old Master Galan looked at her expectantly, continuing to ask, "Girl, this rascal must be lying to me, right? Grandfather can tell, this rascal loves you, how could he possibly break up with you?"
Although she didn’t want to hurt Grandfather Galan’s heart, the truth is the truth.
Moreover, Neal had already spoken, she was even less inclined to hide it now.
Melody Parker feared seeing disappointment in the old man’s eyes, she lowered her head and nodded, "Yes, Grandfather, Neal and I are not together."
As soon as Melody Parker’s words fell, Old Master Galan rolled his eyes and fainted instantly.
"Grandfather!" Neal Galan called out urgently.
Then, he swiftly picked up Old Master Galan, striding towards the old man’s room, while ordering in a deep voice, "Auntie Red, call the family doctor!"
"Alright, alright, I’ll call the family doctor right away!" Auntie Red responded hastily, then quickly ran off.
Neal Galan, carrying Old Master Galan, quickly reached the old man’s room.
Melody Parker pulled back the silk quilt, and Neal Galan laid the old man on the bed.
Looking at the unconscious old man, Neal Galan’s eyes were filled with deep pain, "Grandfather, please don’t let anything happen!"
Shortly after, the family doctor hurried in.
Seeing the family doctor, Neal Galan spoke in a deep voice, "Please check on my grandfather quickly."
"Yes, Mr. Neal." The family doctor moved forward with the medical kit to examine Old Master Galan.
The family doctor quickly finished examining Old Master Galan.
He looked at Neal Galan and asked, "Mr. Neal, did Old Master Galan suffer some kind of emotional upset?"
Neal Galan nodded, looking worriedly at the family doctor, "Is my grandfather alright?"
The family doctor placed the stethoscope back into the medical kit, looking at Neal Galan, and said, "Mr. Neal, rest assured, there’s not much wrong this time, but..."
He paused, then continued, "Mr. Neal, it’s better to talk outside."
"Alright." Neal Galan agreed, escorting the family doctor out.
At the door, the family doctor looked at Mr. Neal, speaking gravely, "Mr. Neal, Old Master Galan is already over seventy. You know that he has serious heart disease and high blood pressure, and his health is deteriorating. This time, Old Master Galan was lucky, but if there’s further emotional upset, next time it might..."
Everyone is smart here, no need to finish the sentence as they understood each other implicitly.
Neal Galan nodded, his face filled with gravity, "I understand."
The family doctor looked at Neal Galan and said goodbye, "Then Mr. Neal, I’ll take my leave first. Old Master Galan is fine this time, I’ll go prepare some medication, he should wake up soon."
"Okay." Neal Galan responded, instructing a servant to get the medication, then turned back into the room.
He looked at Auntie Red standing by, and ordered in a deep voice, "Auntie Red, contact Mike, have him end his vacation and come back immediately."
"Alright, I’ll call Doctor Mike." Auntie Red said, hurrying out.
As the family doctor and Auntie Red left one after the other, the room was left with only the unconscious Old Master Galan, Neal Galan, and Melody Parker.
Melody Parker drew closer to Neal Galan and seriously suggested, "Neal, find a girl to marry. Grandfather is old now, he can’t wait."
Neal Galan felt very uncomfortable inside.
His grandfather had always been very good to him since he was young, their bond was much closer compared to his father.
Now, because of his own issue, he had caused his grandfather to faint!
He knew his grandfather was aging.
He knew his grandfather’s health wasn’t good.
His grandfather’s greatest wish was to see him married with children in his lifetime, this Neal Galan knew all too well.
Neal Galan also wanted to fulfill this wish for his grandfather, but...
Neal Galan looked at Melody Parker, eyes heavy with sorrow as he slowly said, "Melody, you know, all these years, my heart has only been for you. If I am to marry, my bride will only be you, Melody Parker."
Melody Parker’s heart trembled.
She knew of Neal’s feelings for her.
Regarding Neal’s feelings, she had never responded, always clearly rejecting them.
Even now, it was still the same.
Melody Parker looked at Neal Galan, ready to reject and advise again, "Neal, but I..."
"Melody, I know what you want to say." Neal Galan interrupted Melody, speaking in a deep voice, "Melody, apart from you, I don’t wish to marry anyone else. You can refuse, you have the right to reject my feelings for you, but I also have the right to protect you, to see you happy."
