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.

Jeff’s face was already sunken. Olivia’s tears dripped onto the back of his dry hand.

“Dad…”

She wished that a miracle would happen one day, and Jeff would wake up and look at her. She yearned for just a glance from him, and maybe a few words too.

“Sorry for the trouble.”
