She listened as Dr. He told them about Sayuri being in a coma and that the twin babies were in NICU. He told them to be prepared for the worst.The words were like a death toll.
Kay held onto Kyle to give him support, trying hard to calm him down by projecting warm feelings. Unfortunately, his pain was too great that it was useless. In fact, she was the one affected by his pain even though she could tell that he was trying to block it.
She felt utterly helpless.
All she could do, was just stay by his side, as he cried and tried hard not to break down. When Kyle left to stay with his children in NICU, everyone else waited in Sayuri"s room.
The mood was sombre.
Kay took charge immediately.
"Sam, I"ll take over Kyle"s position until he"s ready to come back. Please get all the files sorted and brief me tomorrow," Kay said as she turned to Sam.
He nodded, pus.h.i.+ng his gla.s.ses up his nose, "Not a problem. Do you need Beatrice back?"
Kay shook her head, "No, unless she wants to help."
She then turned to her parents, "Mum, Dad, I"m sure Kyle will want to stay here to take care of Sayuri. Could you ask Butler Kim to prepare clothes for Kyle each day?"
They nodded, thinking it was a good idea. As Kay continued giving out orders-slash-request to Sam, while laying out her thoughts and plans to cover Kyle"s absence at the company to ensure that Kyle would be able to stay at the hospital, Delilah couldn"t help but think that Kay was really suited for this.
Patrick was also observing his daughter and thought that she was a perfect partner for Kyle. Partner, in the sense of working partner. Though Kyle had been the one groomed for the CEO position, it was apparent that Kay was also extremely capable.
Perhaps, not at the level of Kyle, but capable nonetheless.
Perhaps there should be a new position at Smith Industries.
Everyone could see that the company was getting to be better and starting to soar up even more since Kyle took over. Perhaps, just having one person to helm the s.h.i.+p is too much - there ought to be someone else by his side to help ease the burden.
The structure of an organisation at the Smith Industries was a bit unique as compared to other companies. This was mainly due to the manner in which the CEO is appointed i.e. the Smith Heir test.
It had not only served to appoint the best, it also eliminated internal strife.
Of course, this did not mean that it was smooth sailing, as what was indicative of what had happened when they tried to oust Patrick from the CEO post and eliminate Kyle"s position. However, by the fact that Kyle had spectacularly defended his position only showed that the Smith Heir Test was impeccable.
Thus, there was only the CEO, or chief executive officer as the top-ranking executive. It was akin to a dictators.h.i.+p, whereby the CEO had the final say and was the top. There was no president or official deputy.
Patrick was thinking that it was high-time the Smith Industries did have one. Something similar to a chief operating officer (COO) but would have almost the same power as the CEO. Whenever the CEO was not present, the COO would be the top and act as the CEO.
However, for now, it was just a thought. Kyle would not be in any condition to think about it so Patrick shelved the idea for now. It was a huge decision and it would have a big impact on the Smith Industries, so it couldn"t be taken lightly nor rushed.
The more he observed his daughter, however, the more he was convinced that it would be a good thing.
While Patrick was deep in thought and Kay continuing to make plans with Sam, Xing Han whispered to Nitocris, "Cookie, any word?"
Nitocris leaned close and replied, "Kyle"s Team has it settled. We don"t need to do anything."
Xing Han nodded in understanding, though he wished he could do something more. But he knew that it was best Kyle handled it himself for he was the one that has the most rights. Still, for the first time, Xing Han saw Kyle being human.
He had always been the perfect guy that could do anything he set his mind to. He had never seen Kyle cry nor look so broken. It tore up at him.
Nitocris, sensing his puppy"s sombre mood, rubbed his puppy"s head. He then held him close, letting him lean on him. Seeing his puppy cry just now made his heart ache. An irrational part of him wanted to tear apart the one responsible for making his puppy cry - and that included Kyle!
Though it wasn"t his fault.
Nitocris sighed deeply.
He knew he could be irrational whenever his puppy was involved but he couldn"t help it. However, at least, he would not act on it and still managed to stop himself from acting stupidly.
Humans feel, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, what makes it not right is when one acts improperly due to those feelings.
Nitocris hugged Xing Han tighter, loving his fluffy puppy. He was just so wonderful to hug and cuddle to.

Author"s Note:
Dear lovely readers,
My apologies but I am unable to finish this chapter today as I am not feeling too well. However, I still need to post this despite that, in order to fulfill the conditions set by Webnovel for some additional benefits (need to post everyday with at least 1500 words) - the agreement is only for four months. Missing a day would mean I miss out on this and it would be quite a waste.
I"ve actually been a bit under the weather the past few days ie hit with a slight migraine and thus, tired out and unable to formulate / arrange my thoughts properly. However, it is only today that I can"t really finish it as I"m just too exhausted.
Rest a.s.sured, this "Author"s Note" will be erased and replaced with proper content tomorrow, at the same time when the new chapter is released. This is simply to explain. Again, apologies and thank you for your understanding.
I know my readers are awesome and would not mind me taking a few days rest. If it wasn"t for the agreement with webnovel, I would not have posted at all today and just have a double release when I"m better (like how I used to do).
So, once again, my apologies, and thank you for your understanding.
