Chapter 605
Edward sighed helplessly. "It seems like Eugene won't be getting better for a while. What about the company? Dad,
you have to put someone in charge!"
Merlin shot Edward a fierce glance. "What do you mean?"
Edward felt guilty that his thoughts had been interpreted. "What I mean is that the company can't be without a
leader. During the past two days that Eugene was hospitalized, the public was abuzz and the company was in a
state of panic. Stocks have begun to fall, and many business partners seem to be waiting it out. We must look for
someone to revive the Nolan Group!"
A resigned Merlin shook his head. What my grandson said earlier is indeed correct.
His eyes darkened a little before he looked up at his son, who was nearly half a century old. Merlin's voice was full

acquire the Nolan Group. You're his father. Aren't you sad at all?"
Taken aback, Edward explained, "How am I not sad? When I came back from the hospital that day, I didn't sleep
much all night. My son broke his bones and tendons, so how could I not be sad? That company is Eugene's blood,
sweat, and tears. I don't want to see everything he has worked hard for go to waste. Dad, if you have a suitable
candidate in mind, I don't necessarily have to take up the position of president. I know you're distressed about
Eugene, and I'm only thinking about his future. If he gets better, as his father, I will definitely return the position to
him. However, if it were anyone else, there would be a barrier, so it would be hard to tell whether they'll return the
position. I don't think you want to see such an outcome, right, Dad?"
Merlin took a deep breath and suddenly looked several years older as he muttered to himself, "Nothing has
happened to Eugene yet, but you're already so impatient. You didn't even show any effort on the surface. Just how
eager are you?"
The wrinkles between Edward's eyebrows deepened as his face sank. "Dad, I said that you can also introduce a
suitable candidate to be in charge. I didn't say that it has to be me. I'm just worried that the company will end up
suffering serious losses."
Annoyance was clearly written on Merlin's face. "That's enough. If you didn't have those intentions, you wouldn't
have mentioned it at all. You're my son. How can I not know what you're thinking? Let's wait another three days. If
Rocky is still unwell, you can do whatever you like!"
Edward explained, "I really don't desire this position that much. If I wanted it, I wouldn't have given it to Eugene
back then. I'm just thinking for the company's good!"
Merlin raised his hand to motion for Edward to stop talking. Picking up the cane beside him, he got up and went
back to his room.
There was no point in staying here, so Edward also rose to his feet and returned home.

Standing in front of the window, Merlin watched as Edward left, his eyes filled with disappointment. Eugene's
remarks from earlier that Edward would definitely take advantage of his illness to regain the position of president
still rang in Merlin's ears.
However, Eugene had also said many good things as Edward's son since Edward was his father, after all. Although
Eugene felt sorry about what happened to his mother back then, they still had a father-son relationship.
As a result, Merlin received a slap on the face. Edward had actually gone all the way to the hospital and thereafter
followed him to the Nolan Residence, just to ask him for the position of president.
Not to mention, Merlin didn't expect Edward to be so inhumane that he had already started to lay hands on his
great-grandson, which was truly an unforgivable sin.
This was good too!
So be it. They should pay for what they've done! He had been suppressing this matter, and he knew that Eugene
was concerned about him, which was why he didn't confront him.
