The First Heir

That day, Philip was ready to find Anne at the hospital.

He had promised to take a look at her brother’s condition.

On the way, Philip pondered about it before buying some fruits. It would be rude to visit empty-handed.

When he arrived at the hospital, it was about three in the afternoon. Seeing Philip, Anne was a little bashful as she said, “Mr. Philip, you really don’t have to. I feel bad for you having to come all the way.”

Philip smiled and said, “It’s nothing. However, it’s a secret between you and me. Don’t tell Miss Wynn. Let’s go. Take me to see your brother.”

Anne was a whole head shorter than Philip. Even though the young woman was pretty, her face was a little waxy. She had most probably overworked herself.

Such a young woman like that often made people feel sorry for her.

Anne led Philip to the sixth floor of the inpatient department. The floor was exclusively reserved for patients with leukemia. There were both adults and children.

Philip looked around and saw a lot of family members who looked miserable. Some of them were even sobbing into their phones in the corners of their respective wards.

Sigh, what a harsh reality.

When the two arrived at the ward that belonged to Anne’s brother, they were unable to find him even after looking around.
