Tanya knelt in front of the bed, crying soundlessly. Her head was buried in the arms of an old man with weak breathing who was hooked up to an IV drip and ventilator.

The old man was none other than Pearce Gilson.

Pearce was leaning on the bed frame at this time. When he saw Philip appear at the door, his eyes cleared and a bolt of energy surged in his body. He reached out for Philip and shouted with all his strength, “Y-Young Master Clarke…”

While shouting, he tried to get out of the bed and salute Philip.

Philip hurried forward, grabbed Pearce, and said, “Old Master, there’s no need to do so.”

Pearce coughed violently, took off his breathing mask, and said, “Young Master Clarke, I can’t salute you anymore. Please forgive me.”
