The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Lulu took Christian with her as they rushed all the way to the Acker family's medical center.

This medical center was not only staffed with the top experts from various departments, but it was also equipped with multiple ICU intensive care units, delivery rooms, and operating rooms.

The hardware facilities here were also fully capable of handling the world's most complex organ transplant surgery.

At this time, Keith, the head of the Acker family, was lying in the largest ICU ward in the medical center.

His body was plugged with various equipment and tubes, and his entire face was covered with an oxygen mask. He was

relying on the ventilator to barely maintain a faint breathing.

His wife, who was also Charlie's grandmother, was sitting next to him as she rubbed his right hand gently with both her hands. She was already in tears.

Although there were several doctors on standby, there was nothing they could do.

In their opinion, Keith's life was coming to an end. It was just like a wick that had burned its last drop of oil. The flame was already too small to be seen and it was shrinking irregularly, as if it might go out at any time.

At this time, the only thing that they could do was to wait for the flame to extinguish completely. It wasn't that they didn't want to intervene. But in this situation, even if Keith's breathing rate became slightly higher, it would be possible for them to

blow out the last flame. The best way to deal with the situation was not to leave the wick alone and let it burn the last few traces of vapor left.

The rest of the children and grandchildren of the Acker family were all staying in the lounge outside the ICU.

Charlie's second and third uncles were both sitting side by side on a modular sofa. In addition, there was also a skinny old man with white hair and beard sitting opposite them. He was holding onto a seal with one hand while chanting something unintelligible.

The other grandchildren, as well as several female members of the Acker family, were all sitting on the benches on both sides of the sofa. Their faces were the epitome of sorrow.

When Lulu and Christian entered, everyone present stood up immediately.

Kaeden rushed to them with red eyes. He grabbed Christian's arm, his voice choking as he said, "Bro... You're finally back..."

Jaxson couldn't help but sniffle as he said in a trembling voice, "Bro, Dad has been in a coma and hasn't woken up yet. Mom is inside with him. You should go in and take a look."

Christian nodded heavily and spoke in a firm tone, "Don't be too pessimistic. Dad has experienced all kinds of hardships and tribulations in his life. This trivial matter is nothing to him. He'll definitely be able to pull through."

Everyone nodded, but there was no confidence in their expressions.

When Christian saw that everyone was despondent, he felt a little flustered. He hurriedly said, "You guys should wait outside first. I'll go in and check on Dad!

After saying that, Christian pushed the door open and walked in alone.

When the old lady saw him coming in, she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and burst into tears. "Christian-Christian... Your dad doesn't seem like he can pull through anymore, Christian...What should I do, Christian...?" As the old lady spoke, her body shook so badly that she almost fell over to the side.

Christian hurriedly stepped forward and supported her with both hands. He suppressed his urge to cry and said, "Mom... It's alright... Dad will be fine... He's just too tired lately, and needs to take a good rest. He might take a little longer to wake up..." The old lady kept shaking her head slowly as she looked at Keith, who was on the hospital bed, sorrow and despair in her eyes.

She was also highly educated, and had made great strides in the changing world over the past few decades. How could she not be aware of her husband's current situation?

She took her husband's hand in one hand and her Christian's hand in the other as she whispered softly, "Your dad...misses your sister too much. This time. His daily condition is- much worse compared to every previous day. He couldn't sleep at all at night, because all he can think of is his daughter. Even if his body is strong, he wouldn't be able to hold it any longer after being tormented like this."

When Christian heard this, he couldn't control his emotions any longer and cried silently.

The old lady looked up at Christian and said seriously, "Christian... If your father can't survive and make it through this hurdle, you should go to the Wade family in Eastcliff." Christian asked in surprise, "Mom... You're

The old lady continued, "You should go to the Wade family mansion and apologize to your brother-in-law's father. Find a way to beg him and let him agree to move your sister back here from the Wade family's ancestral grave. I want her. back to accompany your father..."
