“This…” Christian stammered. “Mom… Things haven’t reached that point yet, so you shouldn’t be thinking about them.”The old lady shook her head, wiped away her tears, and said expressionlessly, “We’ve already tried all the methods that could be used, and we also tried the methods that normally can’t be used. I even invited Master Howton, who your father has always been disgusted with, to come over. I really don’t know what else to do…”Christian knew his father didn’t believe in religion in his life, let alone metaphysics. Regardless of whether it was Master Howton from Golden Taoism, or Old Master Lennard from the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams, they were all no different from charlatans to Keith.His mother would never invite Master Howton to their house if it wasn’t a last resort. Christian, who had been comforting his younger siblings and mother, felt even more desperate.He feared his father really wouldn’t be able to survive this time.…At the same time…In mid-
This staff member of the Acker family did not know who Charlie was, but he froze when he heard Ashley’s name, as if he had been hit by lightning.As soon as he heard Quinn saying that Charlie was Ashley’s son, he was instantly appalled.He immediately thought of how the main family had been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the son that Ashley had left behind for so many years, yet failed to find a single clue at all.Could this be an important clue delivered to his doorstep?!As he thought of this, he approved the plane’s request to land immediately. At the same time, he also picked up the phone to report to his superiors.The words, ‘Ashley Acker’s son’ were like a shocking thunderbolt which caused the Acker family’s butler to rush into the medical center.At this time, Christian was still trying his best to comfort his mother as he forced himself to endure the pain.For the old lady, her eldest son was at this moment her spiritual support.The butler hurriedly ran
In fact, he was eager to go out with everyone to see if it was Charlie who returned or not.Although all of the siblings in the Acker family had deep affection for Ashley, Kaeden had the closest and deepest relationship with Ashley among his siblings.Even though he had always been resolute and extremely strong, this strength was something he gained after Ashley’s death.When Ashely was still alive, he was her most devout follower and was always around Ashley. It was only after Ashley’s death that he began to subconsciously imitate his sister’s behavior and gradually accomplish his current achievements. Deep in his heart, he always felt that he wasn’t as good as his sister’s.Meanwhile…A plane gradually approached from the sky and landed at the end of the runway. The Acker family felt more and more nervous.Lady Acker couldn’t help but ask the children around her, “Do you think…that Charlie will be on the plane?!”Everyone dared not answer. After all, Charlie had been mis
“I…”When Quinn heard Lady Acker’s question, she pursed her lips, feeling extremely embarrassed.However, she recalled what Charlie had instructed her. She could only bite the bullet and lie, “Sorry, Grandma… I haven’t been able to find Brother Charlie… Yet.”As Quinn said this, she saw clearly the glimmer in the old lady’s eyes dimming instantly.She suddenly felt that it was too cruel for her to say this to this old lady with such a kind face. Christian, standing nearby, sighed and asked her, “Miss Golding, have you been looking for Charlie as well?”“Yes…” Quinn said seriously. “My father’s been looking for Brother Charlie for almost twenty years. He’s searched almost everywhere in the world.”Lady Acker said softly with a grateful expression, “The Golding family is affectionate and righteous. You guys haven’t forgotten about Charlie, even after so many years! Thank you… I thought we were the only ones who were still looking for Charlie’s whereabouts. I didn’t expect you peo
Kaeden quickly said, “Good, good. You haven’t had dinner yet after coming all the way here, right? Let your aunt arrange for you to have something to eat first.”Quinn rejected her, saying, “No need, Uncle Kaeden. I already ate on the plane on the way here.”Quinn asked again, “Can I go in and see Grandpa?”Lady Acker said, “Come, Quinn. I’ll take you in.”She was about to take Quinn’s hand to lead her to the ICU.Unexpectedly, at this moment, a doctor suddenly exclaimed, “The patient’s blood pressure and heart rate are dropping too fast! Quickly prepare the defibrillator!”Everyone was immediately startled by this shout. They quickly gathered around the hospital bed.Keith’s attending doctor said, “We can’t use the defibrillator. In his current condition, the defibrillator will only cause him to suffer more harm for no reason before he passes. His body has already reached its limit…”When the doctor saw that the electrocardiogram was almost close to a straight line, he asked I
Yule’s affair was known to everyone in Oskia’s circle of elites.Despite the fact the Golding family held a large influence in Oskia, it was somewhat lacking compared to the Acker family.Therefore, Lady Acker did not have much of an impression of Yule. Naturally, she knew nothing about his illness and subsequent recovery. But upon seeing Quinn speaking with so much certainty, coupled with the fact that she was already fond of Quinn because Quinn was engaged to her grandson, she couldn’t help but believe in Quinn. Still, some of her uncertainty remained. She glanced at Master Howton, who had been pinching his fingers and chanting incessantly, and asked sincerely, “What do you think, Master Howton?”Master Howton opened his eyes and sighed. “Lord Acker’s qi has already been exhausted. Even my Life-Sustaining Pill can’t do anything to save him. In my opinion, there’s no longer any pill in this world that can save him…”When Quinn heard this, she immediately rebutted and exclaime
The medicinal pill might not be effective. Even so, she would not blame her son or Quinn.Everyone in the family yearned for the family’s prosperity and good health. It was their first time meeting Quinn, but they treated her the same. The Acker family owed their gratitude to Quinn, therefore, she was willing to accept the result calmly.At this point, most had already given up. Only Quinn and Christian were still nervous.Master Howton sighed and shook his head. He continued to keep his eyes shut and recited some chant related to the Heavenly Venerate.The Healing Pill rapidly melted in Keith’s mouth, and soon, the medicine quickly spread to all parts of his body and took effect. However, his weak heartbeat stopped.A sharp alarm sound from the ECG machine soon rang out as the pulse line on the ECG monitor instantly became a straight line. At last, the Acker family’s hope was completely dashed.Holly lost control of her emotions, and she covered her eyes and burst into tears.
The continuous loud and piercing alarm suddenly disappeared, and everyone involuntarily turned their attention to the monitor.Master Howton’s impassioned chanting also came to an abrupt end. He had originally wanted to use his sutra to send Keith off, but he had never expected things to change so unexpectedly!The Acker family too could not understand what had just happened. Immediately after that, they saw the doctor pointing at the ECG pulse line that was moving up and down as he said in excitement, “His heartbeat has returned! His heart is beating again!!!”Everyone finally saw that the straight pulse line had begun to rise and fall once more with bigger and bigger movements!The Acker family immediately burst into tears of happiness, and Holly wept in joy. She hurriedly rushed forward to see her husband begin to breathe again, and she was astounded to see his chest begin to rise and fall.She stepped forward, grabbed her husband’s hand, and cried. “Keith! Can you hear me?”
