Chapter 1033 The Condition Of Nelson
- “Just now, the caregiver messaged me, informing me that Dad is experiencing high blood pressure and even lost consciousness. The doctor figured it's highly likely to be a stroke...” Lily shared. Upon hearing this, Finnick's irritation flared, and he exclaimed, “Why didn't you mention this earlier?” If a minor stroke was promptly treated, it had the potential to make a significant impact. With proper medical intervention, the recovery process could be swift, leading to minimal differences compared to a healthy individual.
- However, in the case of a severe stroke where timely treatment is not received, the consequences could be unimaginable. Even if the patient managed to recover from such a severe stroke, it could still result in a decline in cognitive abilities, the onset of dementia, or even paralysis. The Oates family's presence and influence in Jadeborough stemmed from Nelson Oates's involvement as one of the founding fathers many years ago. While he might not wield significant authority in recent times, his longstanding prestige had endured. The younger generation of the Oates family might not have stood out significantly on their own, but they had enjoyed favorable circumstances under the protection of the patriarch.
- The past few years had been relatively prosperous for them. However, there was one specific incident that occurred, causing deep resentment within the Oates family. On the night of Nelson's fiftieth birthday, he became involved with a maid. To everyone's surprise, the woman became pregnant and gave birth to Sienna, his illegitimate daughter. Fortunately, Finnick held a somewhat significant position in Nelson's affections, which allowed him to arrange for Sienna to be sold to the Haddock family under the pretense of bringing them good fortune. This decision was made to prevent Sienna from continuously appearing before the Oates family and causing further discontent.
