[Chairman Lancaster's Residence]
"Grandpa…" Lola exhaled a long, heavy sigh as she reached the backyard of the residence, only to find the chairman already working inside his little barn.
The head butler beside her mirrored her sigh. "Miss Lola, he wouldn't listen to us."
The butler had contacted every possible person who might convince the chairman to stay in the hospital last night. Yet no one could change the old man's mind. Even when the doctor warned that his survival rate would be higher if he remained under hospital care, the chairman was stubborn as ever.
Lola offered the butler an apologetic look, knowing she wouldn't have much luck either. Still, she said softly,
"I'll try."
"Thank you, Miss Lola." He bowed his head while she made her way toward the barn.
When she reached him, Lola stopped a few steps away. "Grandpa…"
Her exhausted, worried tone made the old man pause, though only briefly. "The head butler called me and told me what happened last night," she said.
