From the room came the closing song of the program, the crisp and tender voice of the child singing off-key every word, yet somehow, it sounded beautiful.
Before the song finished, the butler came out, only to turn and see Kang Chen leaning against the wall. Startled, he exclaimed, "Young Master… What…?"
Kang Chen raised a hand to stop him, not allowing him to speak.
"Who… is Kang Chen here?" The old man heard the butler call out "Young Master" and asked.
With effort, Kang Chen straightened himself. "You go on with your work!"
The butler blocked Kang Chen, "Young Master, you don't look well."
Sweat dotted Kang Chen's forehead, his face pale, appearing weak and exhausted.
Kang Chen exhaled heavily and rubbed his cheeks firmly, finally bringing some color back to his face. "I'm fine, you go ahead."
Gathering his composure, Kang Chen walked in, smiling: "Dad, I came to check on you. How's your health?"
