After a while, Benjamin's breathing stabilized as he stopped coughing out blood. But he was still barely able to speak. "Stop… Stop it… That's enough… I can't take it anymore…"Everyone in the room was visibly in anguish.Simon and the doctors had already predicted that Benjamin wouldn't make it out alive when they wheeled him into the emergency room. No one could survive against cancer in its final stages.When Simon called Belle early in the morning, it was just a last resort as well as to hope for a miracle to happen. But to be realistic, Simon and the doctors already knew that Benjamin could no longer be saved.Belle sniffed and replied, "Let me try again."Benjamin shook his head as his voice grew weaker and weaker. "Please don't perform surgery on me… I'm scared of the pain…"She tried her best not to burst into tears right this very moment. "Should I call Hunter over? He's just waiting outside.""I… I'd like to speak to you first…""Of course. What is it?"Simon told al

Benjamin responded, "You must remain an upright citizen and use your talents for good! My biggest regret is not being able to contribute to my country. "I may look like this now, but I was quite the patriotic young fella back then. I even wanted to join the military, but I was held back by various responsibilities. It's a pity…"Hunter sniffled. "I know.""I buried a bankbook under your mother's tomb. Once I'm gone, you should retrieve it and withdraw the money from the bank. It was passed down by your grandpa, and I never found the need for them. I'll be leaving you all by yourself soon. "And you're still a student. You won't have much spare time to work. You'll need the money for tuition, for your daily use, and when you're going to form your own family… So don't feel bad about using the money, okay?""I will, Dad."Benjamin let out a long sigh of relief as his face gradually turned pale. His health had made a short comeback so that he could relay his final words to his son. But no

Gabriel closed the door and handed a cup of milkshake to Belle and Ginger each. "Here you go."Ginger accepted the milkshake and asked, "When did you go get milkshakes?""There wasn't much for me to help with, so I went for a walk and came by a café."It was from the café next to the boxing gym. It was also extremely far away from the clinic. But Gabriel knew that the milkshake from that café was Belle's favorite.Belle realized Gabriel's efforts as she accepted the milkshake. She didn't even bother to thank him before taking a huge sip of her favorite drink.It was probably a response better than saying "thank you" to Gabriel."Have you seen Hunter?" asked Ginger."Yeah. He's currently talking to Mr. Grayson about the funeral. I think he seemed okay."Belle and Ginger frowned at the same time. They realized that Hunter was probably just forcefully holding himself up.Sometimes, it would be better to just let it all out and cry to one's heart's content.　　As a gesture of appr

Belle approached their car and leaned on the window as if about to ask something. Immediately, she frowned and chided, "What's with the smell of smoke? Have you guys been smoking in the car?"Gabriel hurriedly explained, "Mr. Grayson was smoking…"Ginger replied, "What are you so nervous about? I know you don't smoke."Gabriel averted his gaze to hide the blush on his face as he felt guilty.Grayson threw a glance at Gabriel but decided not to expose him. "I was just bored."Belle was furious. "Gabriel's in the car with you. Can't you at least be a little considerate with him getting second-hand smoke from you?"Gabriel was afraid that Grayson might expose him, so he quickly replied, "I'm fine, Ms. Belle.""You're not! Second-hand smoke is even worse than just smoking a cigarette directly. He's hurting you!"Belle then turned to Grayson and continued, "Never smoke in front of Gabriel again!"Gabriel felt a little guilty about the situation, so he decided to change the topic. "

There was a budding market for houses in rural towns. Potential buyers include residents from the same town, many of whom watched their children grow up and form their own families. However, some potential buyers were rich folks from the city seeking to retire at a more peaceful location. As a result, the property market value had significantly increased.Some had even attributed the rise of the value of the Sanders family's old home to Hunter's prestige as a model student.Penny might seem like a silly woman from the outside, but she was quite the marketing genius. She had constantly advertised the Sanders family's old home as a blessed property that would guarantee any family moving in to give birth to a prodigy.Plenty of folks were also convinced enough to offer high prices for the house.The property eventually reached a market value of millions. The most recent increase came from a business owner for the city believing that purchasing it would help turn his son's life around.
