Chapter: 1229
Yet, things didn’t seem to be getting better.
"S-sir, please take care of my wife and daughter. I haven’t done many good acts in my life.
"I can only boast about having an amazing wife and daughter. I just can’t help but worry about. them, s-so please protect them." Nelson’s voice was growing fainter.
"You can tell them after you recover, so hang on!" Sweat beaded on Dustin’s forehead as he released all his true energy.
Suddenly, he threw up a mouthful of black blood. The Septemortis was finally taking effect!
"D-don’t waste any more energy, Sir. I can’t hold on anymore. P-please, promise me you’ll take care of them!"
Suddenly, Nelson reached out and fisted Dustin’s sleeve tightly. The light was beginning to fade from his eyes.
"I will. I promise I’ll treat Haley like she’s my own!" Dustin nodded gravely.
"T-thank you, Sir…" Nelson smiled.
Shakily, he pulled a doll from his shirt and passed it to Dustin.
"I-it’s Haley’s birthday tomorrow. This is the p-present I prepared for her. P-please pass it to her a-and tell her that her father w-was a… hero…"
With that, Nelson’s eyes closed shut, and his arm fell to the floor limply as he drew his last breath.
Dustin roared and slammed his fist onto the floor, creating a dent. He never imagined that he’d watch his friend die right before his eyes.
Despite his strong medical skills, he could do nothing to save Nelson.
Dustin hated how useless he was. He couldn’t even save his friend!
This made his skills seem like nothing but a joke.
"Nelson? Nelson!" A familiar voice cried out at the door.
Dustin turned around to see a pregnant woman and a little girl rushing toward him hand-in- hand.
It was Nelson’s wife and daughter!
Before going on his mission, Nelson had texted his wife. However, Cecilia became worried when he didn’t pick up the phone, so she rushed over with their daughter.
The sight of blood at the door only made her even more uneasy.
"Nelson? Where are you?" Cecilia cried out worriedly.
All Kirin Gang members remained silent, their heads lowered. The entire manor was quiet.
"Nelson?"
When Cecilia finally arrived at the meeting room, she was stunned.
