Actually, it was not because he did not want to say something, it was he did not have the energy to deal with those things. In fact, he felt that he walked as if he was floating. If he did not leave as soon as possible, he might fall to the ground.

It was a bit reluctant for him to come here today; his condition was even worse after drinking three glasses of wine.

Not long ago, he was sent to the hospital because of stomach bleeding. He had just left there several days ago. He should have taken a good rest at home, but he did not take it seriously. He suffered from bearing the physical discomfort in order to repay the sponsor of the forum. It was estimated that he would go back to the hospital for a while.

Neil felt worried when he saw Owen nearly falling down. He wanted to follow him and help him, but Ethan grabbed his arm, “You have not recovered yet. If you fell down with him, how do I explain it to Uncle Jiang?”

“…”

“Ethan…” Owen had gone downstairs by himself and quickly disappeared in their sight by the time they argued.

Ethan would not admit that he felt a bit relieved indeed; he just said lightly, “You could see, as I said, how serious it could be?”

Owen met Ethan’s father, Kern, when he crossed through the banquet and was about to leave. So he had to stop to pretend that he was fine and greeted him.

“Why do you look so haggard? Are you not feeling well?”

“Thanks for your concern, President Wen. I just drank too much wine.”

“…” Kern watched him silently for a while, but he did not see any sign of drunkenness. However, he did not want to say, so Kern was embarrassed to ask him more. He had to change their topic, “Did my son give you any trouble just now?”

“Nope, he was very modest and polite. He also has a decent manner. You have taught him well.”

“Is that real? I just saw him…” could Kern not know what virtue his son had? He just hoped that Ethan did not offend Owen Han.

“Well, excuse me, President Wen. I heard that you seemed to have an idea of letting me to be his teacher?”

“Yes, I have. Did he tell you? Ah ha, it seemed that he really became thoughtful. By the way, wouldn’t you dislike him?”

“I wouldn’t. I heard that with my pleasure. But I have a lot of things to deal with recently, I’m afraid I do not have much time…”

“No, it won’t take you much time. You just need to guide him a little. If you are really inconvenient, do you think... how about letting him work as an assistant in your company?” Kern knew that his request really constrained him to do things that were beyond his power, but he could not help with it. How could Ethan in his present state take the charge of his company and to be the CEO of Promise Pharmaceuticals? Besides, he was getting old, he could not teach him a lot in person…

He was ready for Owen’s refusal, but he just hesitated for a moment and then nodded. It seemed that he agreed but his face looked even paler.

Kern could not help but asked him more worried, “Are you really fine, President Han?”

“I’m fine. I still have some business to deal with, so I’ll leave first.”

“Well, it’s okay. Go ahead, President Han. Come to my house when you have time.”

Owen did not even reply at this moment, he quickly walked out of the door a little embarrassed. He was stimulated by a cold wind and he could not help shivering after going outside, he strained his coat then.

His driver was waiting outside in his car then he got off and opened the back door for him.

Owen got into his car and then felt that he was still alive.

“Boss, shall we come back to your apartment?”

“…” Owen would have intended to say ‘Yes’. He thought for a while but the words turned to be ‘Go to the hospital’.

The driver felt a bit strange so he looked at his boss in the rearview mirror, he found him not well. He was nervous about it so he immediately responded with ‘OK’ and then started the car.

The black car went away at once and soon disappeared into the darkness.
