The butler, who had served him for so many years, knew him well. He realized that he couldn't fool his master entirely, so he had prepared an excuse. "I've been feeling unwell lately, and I think... I fear that when I pass away, no one will take care of you. I feel guilty. You've been so good to me, but I can't serve you until the end. Given your current situation, I can't leave with a peaceful mind."
Su Dongkun indeed remembered that the butler had been frequently unwell recently.
A wave of sentiment washed over him. They were both growing old, nearing the end of their lives!
"Don't worry so much. I'm more than a decade older than you and still very strong. You'll be fine. I'll give you the day off tomorrow; go get a thorough check-up at the hospital. I'll take care of all the expenses!" Su Dongkun was truly generous towards the butler.
"Thank you, sir." The butler bowed his head, wetness filling his eyes. His master really trusted him, believing everything he said.
