Chapter 8 - Jonathan Whitworth Receives Disquieting News From His Doctor
In his private office overlooking Central Park, Jonathan Whitworth rubbed his chest as a sharp pain flared up.
His family doctor, Dr. Alan Sterling, sat across the desk closing a leather medical chart with a grave expression.
“Your stress levels are dangerously high, Jonathan, and your heart is showing signs of severe strain,” Dr. Sterling warned.
“I need you to slow down and delegate more operational control to your executive board.”
Jonathan shook his head, looking at a framed photograph of Elizabeth smiling in their old Chicago kitchen.
“I can't slow down now, Alan; I spent years letting the wrong people corrupt everything she built,” Jonathan replied firmly.
“I have to fix the foundation before I can rest.”

Dr. Sterling sighed softly, knowing stubborn determination ran deep in the Whitworth family.
“Fixing the foundation won't matter much if you collapse beneath the rubble first,” the doctor cautioned before leaving.
