Chapter 1235: Chapter 1235: Emily, Will You Come Back?_1 Chapter 1235: Chapter 1235: Emily, Will You Come Back?_1 Hearing the beep sound on the phone, Ethan Smith's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He wasn't too surprised, as Mike Taylor was already reaching the end of his life, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

“Life is too short for ordinary people; it's just a few decades in a hurry,” Ethan sighed slightly.

His feelings for Mike Taylor were extremely complicated.

As the saying goes, love me, love my dog. The more Ethan loved Emily Taylor, the more he would love her family.

Moreover, when Ethan first set foot on the path of cultivation, Mike Taylor also provided him with a lot of help.

“Return to Pyro.” Ethan got up and said coldly.

As Mike Taylor's life was nearing its end, he probably couldn't last much longer, so Ethan didn't dare waste a single moment.

That day, Ethan hurried back to Capital City from Deer Emperor Island.

Taylor family's Estate.

It was a lively day.

Many luxury cars were parked at the entrance, and nearly all the prominent figures in Capital City had arrived.

They were gathered in the Great Hall, seemingly waiting for Mike Taylor's funeral.

Seeing Ethan entering, everyone in the hall stood up.

Their gazes towards Ethan were strange, filled with both worry and fear, and even some deep-seated terror.

Among them was none other than Kylan Taylor.

He slowly stood up and gestured for everyone to sit down.

He then walked in front of Ethan.

“You arrived quite fast.” Kylan's voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuations.

Ethan said with a faint smile: “With Mike Taylor's death, you should be the happiest, right?”

Kylan snorted lightly and said nothing.

“Which room is Mike Taylor in?” Ethan asked.

Kylan said, “Follow me.”

Ethan followed Kylan to a room on the second floor.

At this moment, Mike Taylor was lying on the bed, on the verge of death, looking extremely old.

Even the young body that Ethan had found for him was now showing signs of aging.

Mike Taylor's brothers were gathered around him.

Some covered their faces, some cried out in pain, while others held Mike Taylor's hand, reluctant to let go.

“Mike Taylor.” Ethan quickly walked in front of Mike Taylor.

Mike Taylor smiled and said, “Ethan, you're here…”

Ethan nodded and said, “Mike Taylor, how are you feeling now?”

Apparently not wanting to continue the topic, Mike Taylor waved his hand and said, “Since everyone is here, I should give my last words.”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room became more nervous.

Kylan's face visibly changed, and lighting a cigarette, he took heavy drags, seemingly trying to ease his tension inside.

Ethan knew that what they were nervous about was the position of the head of the Taylor family.

Naturally, Mike Taylor was even more aware of this. His eyes, which were like ancient wells, swept over everyone, finally resting on Ethan.

“I know you all want to know who will inherit the position of the head of the Taylor family after I'm gone…” Mike Taylor said slowly.

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room became even more nervous.

Mike Taylor sighed and said, “To be honest, I initially wanted to leave the position of the head to Emily, but I didn't expect her to go missing…”

Kylan's face changed drastically, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

He opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but ultimately held back.

“Since Emily is not here, the position of the head should be given to Ethan…” Mike Taylor said quietly.

“Mike Taylor, I'm not interested in the position of the head,” Ethan said with a frown.

Mike Taylor waved his hand and said, “Don't be in a hurry, I haven't finished talking…”

“In my imagination, the position of the head of the Taylor family should indeed be given to Emily or Ethan… but plans can't keep up with changes, and I think wealth already means nothing to Ethan.”

Kylan patted his chest, obviously relieved.

“I know my body better than anyone, I knew I wouldn't live long, so lately, I've been thinking about the issue of the successor,” Mike Taylor continued.

At that point, his gaze fell on Kylan.

“After much consideration, I finally decided that the best candidate for this position… is Kylan,” Mike Taylor declared.

Upon hearing this, Kylan was overjoyed!

He rushed to Mike Taylor and excitedly said, “Dad, you finally got it straight. The position of the head of the Taylor family should be mine!”

At this point, Ethan coldly glanced at Kylan.

Only then did Kylan realize his slip, and he quickly retreated to the side.

“Kylan, I hope you'll treat your brothers well. They are your own flesh and blood,” Mike Taylor said, waving his hand.

Kylan excitedly said, “Dad, rest assured! I promise them a lifetime of wealth and glory!”

Mike Taylor didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and said, “All of you, leave first. Ethan, you stay.”

With everyone gone, only Ethan and Mike Taylor were left in the room.

“Mike Taylor, if you have anything to explain, just say it,” Ethan said as he knelt in front of Mike Taylor.

Mike Taylor waved his hand and said, “My greatest concern is Emily. You…”

“You don't need to worry.” Ethan took a deep breath.

“I will take care of her.”

It seemed as though Mike Taylor had a lot to say, but in the end, he said nothing. He just waved his hand and said, “You go first, I want to be alone.”

Ethan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Mike Taylor's wave.

Seeing this, Ethan could only sigh slightly and leave the room.

Everyone was gathered outside Mike Taylor's room.

And the visiting socialites from Capital City were waiting in the Great Hall on the first floor.

“It's strange, just now my dad looked like he was in critical condition, but now it seems like he recovered a bit,” Kylan muttered.

Ethan glanced at him and said, “What, you can't wait?”

“Not really, to be honest, after all the terrible things I've done, I never thought my dad would give me the position,” Kylan sighed.

Ethan snorted lightly and didn't bother to engage with Kylan.

Everyone waited from day until night, but Mike Taylor, who was in critical condition, showed no signs of passing away.

Ethan knew that Mike Taylor still had a breath in his heart and something weighing on his mind.

That concern was Emily Taylor.

“Emily, will you come back?” Ethan gazed out of the window at the sky and murmured softly.
