Chapter 120
That day, Samuel went straight to th
to the hospital where Jonas was staying. He searched all over the old VIP ward, but Jonas was nowhere to be found. In the end, he found him lying in the hallway of a regular ward.
Jonas was all alone, stretched out on a flimsy hospital cot in the corridor, calling out that he was thirsty. Nurses kept passing by, but not a single one paid him any attention.
Samuel’s eyes burned with anger. He stormed over, grabbed a male nurse by the collar, and starred him against the wall, gritting his teeth. Can’t you see my dad’s asking for water? Are you all deaf or what!
“You call yourself a nurse? Where’s your sense of responsibility? What’s your employee number? I’m reporting you” Samuel was furing. He out his phone and dialed Sebastian.
But no one picked up. Samuel’s face grew even darker as he realized what was going on,

“You want to report met Go ahead, see if Mr. Lawrence even ca customers. Do you even have the money!”
With that, the nurse shoved Samuel away and straightened out his wrinkled uniform.
Samuel’s face was grim, but he didn’t say another word. He quickly went to get some water and helped Jonas drink.
Afterwards, Samuel paid off all of Jonas’s surgery and hospital bills, then angrily transferred him to a regular ward at another hospital. To make it caster to look after Jonas, Samuel bought a folding cot and started sleeping at the hospital himself.
Two weeks went by, and not a single person from the Spence family came to see Jonas. He knew his health was failing, and the closer he got to the end, the more be missed his grandchildren, but no one showed up.
Jonas felt a wave of bitterness, as if he’d aged a decade overnight. He looked weakly at Samuel and asked in a low voice, “Samuel, do Norah and
Stella just not care about me anymore**
Samuel was caught off guard. Norals had flat–out refused to come to the hospital half a month ago, telling him to hire a nurse for Jonas and insisting she wouldn’t visit. Stella had always been afraid of Jonas, so she didn’t want to come either.
It was only now that Samuel realized the family he thought was so happy was actually falling apart. He didn’t even know how to explain it to Jonas.
When Samuel stayed silent, Jonas already knew the answer. For some reason, his thoughts drifted to Simone
Simone had never missed a single werk coming back to visit Jonas. Hack when Samuel was busy with work, it was always Simone who stayed by side. But all these years, just because she wasn’t Samuel’s biological daughter, he’d treated her with cold indifference.
But Stella, his own granddaughter, hardly ever came to keep him company. She wouldn’t even visit w so good to lan

The next day, Sunne got a call from Samuel When she found out Jonas wanted to see her before he passed, she was a little surprised. After all, Jonas had always looked down on her
She didn’t know why Jonas suddenly wanted to see her, but the thought of witnessing his lonely state before the end made her feel it was worth the trip Half an hour later, Simone followed the location Samuel sent and headed to the hospital
“Simone Sarmael had been waiting outside the hospital since early morning. The moment he spotted her, he waved.
Simone walked over, her face blank, not even bothering to look Samuel in the eye. “Lead the way,” she said, her tone flat
