Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 692

Once they returned to Summer City, the family of three paid a visit to Merlin. They headed directly to the bedroom. The blinds were shut, making the room seem rather dark. Merlin laid on the bed alone with his eyes shut, and he looked especially worn out. If it weren't for the slight heaving of his chest, he pretty much looked like a corpse.

Eugene was shocked by the sight of this, and he practically ran over. "What happened, Grandpa?" he asked anxiously. Eugene had been worried about the old man. They had video-called each other for the past few days, and Merlin had seemed relatively lively through their calls. How did he end up in that state?

Merlin opened his eyes weakly, and he responded in a weak tone after seeing who his visitors were. "I'm fine." However, it was obvious that Merlin didn't have any energy at all. Even his voice sounded softer than usual. Eugene immediately called for Olivia. "Come over and take a look at Grandpa, Olivia. What happened to him?"

Olivia took a seat and held Merlin's wrist to check his pulse. It was weak and unsteady. She frowned before taking the sphygmometer to measure Merlin's blood pressure. It was 180/100. Judging by how high his blood pressure was, it seemed like he must have experienced something that triggered his emotions.
