Chapter 540: Pressure...

"How is Mother?" Lu Feng asked.

"She is stable now, but the doctor said she is not responding to medicines as if she doesn't want to get better." Worry took over the calm expressions on Lu Chen's face. He was away for a few days and when he came back, his wife was admitted to the hospital.

Lu Feng couldn't say anything, hearing his father. His mother was not willing to get better, so this time she looked determined. Lu Feng remembered her words- 'If you won't listen to me, you won't be able to see your mother.'

At that time he ignored it but now it worried him. Lu Chen asked Lu Feng to come out with him, and Lu Feng followed his father.

Stopping at some distance, Lu Chen asked, "Did something happen when I was away?"

"No, Father," Lu Feng replied, though it was a lie.

"Then why is she like this? As much as I know, your mother is not a weak woman to act like this without a reason. Your brother didn't tell me anything so I want to know it from you."

"Father, there is nothing....."

"Don't make me repeat myself, Lu Feng." Lu Chen, who was always so calm, looked cold and asked.

Lu Feng always respected his father, and when his father insisted, he couldn't hide anything from him.

"Mother wants me and elder brother to take Lu Qiang's place in the company." Lu Feng told him the fact, and it shocked his father.

"What?"

"Yes,father!"

"This can't be. I always knew she wanted her two sons to be successful and be known in Lu Corporations, but she didn't think to get Lu Qiang's place. You must have made a mistake."

"Getting a powerful position in Lu Corporations, what does it exactly mean father? Who is more powerful than Lu Qiang? Uncle Lu Jinhai is there but his position can't be challenged. I too thought that she just wanted us to be in a nice position but recently she came up with what Lu Qiang has."

"She must have lost her mind," said Lu Chen.

"As I said no, she is torturing herself."

"I see! You did well by not listening to her. Let her get better, and I will try to make her understand." Saying Lu Chen stepped back to go to the room and Lu Han came out. He went straight to Lu Feng.

"Were you drinking last night?" Lu Han asked.

"Hmm!" Lu Feng nodded.

"Did you tell father, the truth?"

"Hmm!" he hummed again.

"If you think, the father can solve this, so let me tell you, he can't," said Lu Han.

"I know!"

"Then what did you think about it?"

"Nothing." Lu Feng was calm and unaffected in front of his brother.

"Think before it would be too late. If something happens to her, I won't forgive you. You are the capable one among both of us so decide and tell mother you will do it. Only then she can be in peace."

"I can't do this." Lu Feng denied again.

Lu Han turned to look at him and said, "Next time I don't want to hear it from you or you better not show your face to me and mother." Saying Lu Han left.

Giving out a deep sigh, not knowing what to do, Lu Feng turned, and he saw Jiang Yang was standing a few steps away from him near the wall. He saw these brothers talking and when he heard a few words, he stopped and stood up on the other side of the wall. When Lu Han left, Jiang Yang came out to face Lu Feng.

"When did you come here?" Startled, Lu Feng asked him.

"Just when brother Lu Han came to talk to you," Jiang Yang replied.

"Did You hear everything?" Lu Feng asked in hope that Jiang Yang didn't hear it.

"Hmm! But I didn't understand what he was talking about, but I got thatit has something to do with your mother's condition."

"Don't even try to understand it. It's already a headache."

"So, this is whatgoing on. Last time you said that your mother is asking you to do something and from her condition, I can guess it's not something easy."

"Hmm!" Lu Feng nodded and asked, "Can her life be in danger if it continues like that?"

"Might be!"

"Jiang Yang?"

"Hmm!"

"Is there an option to leave everything behind and run away forever?" Lu Feng asked as if he was tired of everything.

"There is but it won't solve anything. Those who had left behind might get affected badly," Jiang Yang replied.

"That's what I fear."

"Don't think much and give it time."

Everything was calm when in the evening Su Hui's condition worsened again. Lu Feng, who was worrying about his mother's health and was standing outside of the room, was blaming himself for her condition.

Once her condition was stableand she was awake, Lu Han went to Lu Feng and took him away holding his hand. He was angry. As they came far from the room, Lu Han said, "Go to her and say you will do what she wanted."

"I can't." Lu Feng was firm but the pressure from his brother was breaking him.

"I am not asking you. I am ordering you as your elder brother. Nothing matters more than a person's life, and the person inside is our mother. Even though you have forgotten it, I can't." Lu Han's eyes were red as he didn't get the rest since his mother admitted and looked like he cried too. He continued. "If something happens to her, will you be able to live peacefully? I know nothing. Go to her and say what she wants to hear."

Looking at how desperate his brother looked as he was not worried but scared to lose his mother, Lu Feng couldn't say anything.

"She is awake right now. go to her." Lu Han ordered him.

His brother's watery eyes couldn't let him say a single word and he stepped towards his mother's room.
