Felix Hale suffered from a coughing fit that was enough to alarm the medical on standby right outside his ward. As they got in, he slipped the photograph under his pillow.
"Mr. Chairman…" called his assistant, watching the doctors and nurse do their job, while he stood on the side.
The chairman's health was already on the decline for years. But this year, his health continuously deteriorated with his age. Everyone was already expecting the worst, but everyone also knew this was a bad time for Hale Construction.
Currently, Vincent Hale is under scrutiny, and the board wasn't happy with it. Many of their big clients left the company because of the allegations thrown at Vincent. If the chairman fell, their loyal clients would most likely leave as well.
When the medical staff finished, they told the chairman's assistant that Felix was stable. After sending them away, the assistant sat beside the bed.
