Living a healthy and long life...
What a simple wish it was. However, it wasn't until now that he, who suffered from an incurable disease, realized this point.
Things like money, power, and social status were extraterrestrial.
In the face of health, they were all secondary.
Without health, everything would end up in vain.
I held his hand and said, "Mr.... Dad, I don't want your legacy. Take care of yourself. I believe you will definitely overcome the disease."
"Thank you."
Looking at me, Finn couldn't help but shed tears.
After that, he turned around, intending to leave.
I walked over to his side and said, "Let's send you there."
"Yeah."
Patrick said so behind me.
Finn was a patient. And I was not sure how he got through.
He spat blood from coughing just now. What if something happened to him on the way...
"No need. No need. Just do your work. It's the driver who sent me here."
Only after hearing Finn's words did I no longer insist on sending him home.
Patrick and I saw him off at the door. Only after seeing Finn get in the car were we relieved.
After he left, I saw Patrick get into the car as well. Only after that did I go into the studio.
After that, I didn't care too much about the matter concerning Finn. After all, he was not short of money. Naturally, I didn't have to worry that he couldn't afford any medicine or his treatment.
With advanced medical skills nowadays, leukemia was no longer an incurable disease, leaving the patient no choice but to die.
A week after meeting Finn, unexpectedly, I received a call from Kelsi.
As soon as I picked up the call and found out it was her, I hung up the call directly.
After all, from the words of Finn, I felt more and more strongly that Kelsi was far from what I thought she was.
Based on all the aspects I knew in the latter days, she was very selfish and scheming. Everything she had done was for her own good.
And for this, she could even abandon her
conscience.
She didn't have a bottom line.
Whatever the matter she wanted to talk with me was, I had nothing to say to her.
Unfortunately, I had a fatal shortcoming, that was, I worked in the same working place.
It would be pretty easy for anybody to look for me. All they had to do was to do the same as Finn had done last time.
A few hours after I hung up Kelsi's call, the whole studio was besieged by seven or eight cars.
Then dozens of people got out of the car. They were not like Patrick's bodyguards.
Instead, they were all ruffians dressed in different kinds of outfits.
Most of them got tattoo on their arms.
Everyone in the entire studio was stunned.
No one dared to go out.
Nancy and I chatted for a while, making our mind that whoever they were, we should call the police first!
I called the police first and stood by the window on the second floor with Nancy, seeing how the situation would go on.
Then I heard Paulina shouting downstairs, "Does anyone or you owe someone money without paying back?"
"No!"
"I owe a loan to the bank. And I pay it back every month."
"I don't either..."
The staff downstairs answered one after another.
A few minutes later, I saw another car, a luxury white car, driving towards me from behind the crowd.
I didn't see the license plate number clearly. Even so, judging from the car type, I realized who on earth had hired the ruffians.
It took less than a minute for the car to come over to our studio...
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Open the door!"
My sweat was dripping down.
At this moment, there was the sound of police cars at the door!
Hearing this, all the people in the conference room cheered.
Soon, the sound of someone smashing on the glass and the door stopped.
Everyone of us moved out of the conference room bit by bit.
We stood together by the glass window and watched outside.
A few policemen were here, discussing something with Kelsi.
A while later, someone knocked on the door again.
Soon, a voice came from outside, "Hello, police. Open the door."
Hearing this, I walked out and intended to open the door. Nancy ran down from the second floor and stood in front of me, saying, "I'll open the door. What if something bad happens? You're pregnant."
I looked at her gratefully.
Nancy opened the door with me standing behind her.
There were indeed two policemen at the door. And behind them, there stood Kelsi.
Kelsi looked at me and sneered, "Sister, why don't you go on hiding?"
When she called me sister, her beautiful eyes were full of hatred.
I stood behind Nancy and explained to the police expressionlessly, "I have nothing to do with her."
Hearing this, the policemen said, "Anyway, you two should make it clear at the scene. There may be some misunderstanding between you."
Subconsciously putting my hands on my stomach protectively, I didn't want to see Kelsi. So I said, "I have nothing to say to her."
"Janetta, I used to think that you're a silly person. Unexpectedly, you're quite smart!"
Before I could finish my words, Kelsi had spoken.
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
Her words contained too much information. I didn't know exactly what she was talking about.
Upon hearing this, Kelsi looked annoyed, "Don't pretend to be stupid. The reason why you spend so much money looking for a bone match for my dad is that you are after his wealth, right? Now that he has remade a will. Why are you pretending to be a saint?"
"What? Did he find a bone matcher?" Kelsi's words confused me for a moment. And I denied it, "I don't know about this, okay?"
