The Pinnacle Of Life

James Coney’s name was well known in California. So when security heard it and saw

how the other doctors in the room weren’t making any moves, they didn’t take any

further action either.

As for James, he suddenly grabbed Alex’s hand. “Alex, this old man’s life won’t last

long, and I will probably die soon.

Before I go, can I ask you for a promise?”

Alex was startled. “Grandpa, you won’t die.”

James ignored his words, clinging onto him. “You have to promise me, otherwise I won’t

be able to go in peace.”

Alex studied his complexion carefully, and was convinced that he hadn’t made any

mistake. He said helplessly, “Grandpa, you really won’t be dying.

I guarantee it.”

Who would have thought that James would ignore him again and shouted, “I won’t go in

peace, if you don’t promise me! I won’t be able to go in peace!”

Cheryl felt her heart break when she watched the scene in front of her. “Alex, just

promise him!”

Alex was dismayed. “I don’t even know what it is!”

James continued to yell, “Promise me, just promise me first. If you don’t, I won’t be able

to go in peace.”

Alex felt a pounding headache coming. “Fine, fine. I promise you. What is it?”
