Chapter 478
I tried my best to control my tears. After that, I got someone to arrange for a car to send my parents
back.
My mom started to panic when she saw the security guards getting the car ready for them. “We are not
leaving. Anna, we won''t leave until you agree to help Steven.”
“Mom, how many times do I have to tell you? There''s nothing I can do about this issue. Even if you
continue to stay here, it won''t change a thing. Stop forcing me, will you?”

I was beginning to get annoyed. It was apparent that they were trying to force me to do what they
wanted.
“Anna, if anything happens to Steven, your mom and I...”
Before my dad could finish what he was saying, he copsed.
I was in shock and quickly supported my dad. His face was so pale that he looked frightening.
I was so freaked out that I quickly phoned Michael. Just then, the chauffeur drove to the gate.
Without any further dy, I told the chauffeur to send us to the hospital immediately.
When I was speaking to Michael, my voice was quavering. My dad had heart problems, and I did not
think he was able to ept my rejection.
Michael had no wish to see me, but when he heard that my dad had copsed, he was equally worried.
He knew how important my family was to me.
Upon arriving at the hospital, my dad was taken to the emergency room. While waiting outside the
door, I was really worried that the doctor would give me bad news.
Michael came up to me and pulled me into his arms. He consoled me in a soft voice, “Don''t worry.
Nothing untoward will happen. Believe me.”
Michael''s voice seemed to have a calming effect on me. My mom was badly affected by what had
happened, and she was praying fervently for her husband.
The door of the operating theatre finally opened after a long time. Both my mom and I rushed up and
inquired, “Doctor, how is he?”
The doctor removed his mask, sighed, and said, “The patient had a heart attack because he was
getting too emotional. You know that he suffers from heart disease. How can you allow him to be
upset?”
I tried my best to control my tears. After that, I got someone to arrange for a car to send my parents
back.
The doctor seemed to be ming us for my dad''s condition.
“Is my dad out of danger yet?”
The reprimand from the doctor did not bother me at all. Right now, my dad''s health was of utmost
concern.
The doctor advised, “At the moment, he''s fine. But, he is still unconscious. Once he wakes up, please
don''t agitate him any further. Do you understand?”
The doctor cast an usatory nce at me.
“I understand, Doctor. Thank you.”
I knew the doctor meant well, so I did not take his usation to heart. The most important thing right
now was to make sure my dad got well.
Very soon, my dad was transferred to the regr ward. He was still unconscious. Looking at his
haggard face, an inexplicable feeling came over me.
I was partly responsible for his current condition, and I felt guilty about it.
I came to the corridor and took a deep breath to suppress the urge to cry. I knew that it would be best
not to get involved, but I was worried that his condition might worsen if I refused to help them out.
I did not know when Michael showed up behind me. He put his arms around me, and for some strange
reason, I felt like crying.
“Don''t be upset. Didn''t the doctor say he will be fine?”
“Michael, do you think that I''m very selfish? My dad is in this condition because of me. If I didn''t turn
him down, he wouldn''t have ended up in the hospital.”
I could no longer control my tears. I turned around and hugged Michael tightly.
“There''s no such thing. You didn''t do anything wrong. Stop ming yourself. They forced you to do
this.”
Michael tightened his hug around me. He sounded a little angry. I supposed it was because I was about
to give in to my parents again.
I looked at him with brimming eyes and said, “But I really feel bad seeing that my family has turned out
this way. Michael, is there no other way? Can you not forgive Steven this one time?”
