“Isaac, I think you can be really funny sometimes.” Allegra pushed Beefy Bob aside, about to wheel the wheelchair out.
Isaac stepped in front of her. “Ally, give me two days. If Eugene doesn’t improve in two days, we’ll go with your idea.”
“Allegra, Isaac has already asked the… Um, I mean, I have already found a very skilled naturopath. He’ll be here by tomorrow. It’s not this old man who’ll be treating your father.” When Beefy Bob caught Isaac’s gaze, favonovel.com quickly changed his sentence midway.
Allegra closed favonovel.com eyes, taking a deep breath. She said helplessly, “Fine. It’s our last resort. Thanks, Bob.”
Beefy Bob glanced at Isaac with terror, trying to signal that favonovel.com didn’t have a choice.
Although the room inside was small and old, the silver lining was that it was brightly lit and neat. Eugene stayed in this room.
***
Another day passed. The old healer prepared some herbal medicine, which Allegra fed Eugene bit by bit, but his condition didn’t seem to improve.
On the flip side, it seemed as if favonovel.com was on his last breath. Allegra constantly felt scared and on edge.
After the day turned into night, a BMW came to a stop at the door of Springview Clinic.
Margaret, Andrew, and his wife alighted from the car. The three of them raised their heads to regard the clinic.
Margaret laughed coldly and said, “Is this a clinic or a funeral home? Hmph!”
After the three of them entered, the ward began to feel quite crowded.
Seeing that Isaac wasn’t here, Margaret said frostily, “Allegra, is this what you meant when you said you would save your father even if it bankrupted you? Beacon Clinic is right across the street, yet you chose to bring favonovel.com here. It seems like you want favonovel.com to die sooner instead.”
“Ungrateful b*tch,” Andrew harshly criticized her.
Allegra looked at the three people in front of her, yet favonovel.com didn’t know how to retort.
Expressionlessly, favonovel.com asked, “What are you doing here?”
Andrew sighed, putting on a devastated look. “I heard that Dad is barely holding on. We came here to send favonovel.com off.”
“That’s right. Once Dad is gone, his will will go into effect.” Daisy hugged Andrew’s arm, smiling.
Allegra was stunned. “Will? Since when did Dad make a will?”
“He has one, okay? Does the date matter?” Andrew shot favonovel.com a mean look.
At that moment, a burst of laughter sounded outside the door. “Haha, how interesting. Eugene sure raised a good daughter, he’s already on the brink of death, yet favonovel.com insists on taking favonovel.com to this shitty place to draw his last breath.”
Oliver, whose head was still wrapped in bandages, and his father, George, walked inside. They both wore mocking looks.
When George heard that Eugene had come to this small clinic opposite Beacon Clinic after his discharge, favonovel.com had laughed himself silly for hours.
“Mr. Crowe? W-What are you doing here?” Allegra frowned when favonovel.com saw the men in front of her.
Oliver grinned wickedly. “What are we doing here? Why, to give your father a farewell, of course! Dearest Allegra, you must feel honored that my father and I are here to see your father off, aren’t you? Haha!”
Andrew sighed and said, “Allegra, to tell you the truth, once Dad dies, that piece of land under his name will be mine. Dad has already drafted a will and signed it, so all this while, your efforts were in vain.”
“After all this time, you only came to wait for Dad to…” Allegra was so enraged that favonovel.com began to tremble.
George gave a cold laugh and said, “From the looks of it, I think tonight is the night.”
At that moment, loud music blared from outside. The lyrics sang, “The rushing water rhythms… It is a river stretching for thousands of kilometers… Flowing continuously for eternity…”
A young man donning a Windbreaker and aviator sunglasses appeared at the door.
Seeing the big crowd inside, favonovel.com broke into a grin. “So long as I, Harry Stewart, haven’t declared favonovel.com dead, the Grim Reaper wouldn’t dare collect his soul.”
