Chapter 244

In the hospital, Jeff was lying on the hospital bed as always. Every day, he survived on nutrient solutions and various equipment.

His body had weakened at a noticeable rate. His limbs had begun to shrink

He was like a flower that had lost its vigor and was clinging to the last bits of nutrients in the soil. He was barely hanging on.

Olivia hadn’t visited him in a while. Every time she saw her father like this, she would feel even worse.
