Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 90

"The elders have been waiting. You expect them to wait even longer? What if they die before then?"

Onai glares at him. "Well then at least we didn't have the misfortune of watching them do it."

My mouth falls open. What a horrible thing to say. I turn to the old man. "We can see the elders first."

His wrinkly face glowers at me. "What? Do you want a gold star for offering to do the shit you came here to do?"

My mouth falls open. Onai gives me a look. Point taken.

"We'll be eating first," Onai says again. "Come on." He looks at me.

"Wait." Why are we eating? "We're almost done right? I'll eat dinner when I get home."

Onai doesn't even wait for me to finish. "We still have a few places to go before the day is done."

I cock my head back. "What could possibly be left?"

He gives me a look. "According to Axel's schedule, some hospitals are expecting us next."

My mouth can't even form the words. "Some hospitals? As in more than one?"

He nods. "You'll quickly learn that Axel is a slave driver."

I stare in horror.

He sighs, irritatedly. "I can't tell if that means you'd like some food or not. Just give an answer already."

"Yes please." I try not to cry. I just want to go home.

I follow his lead through a large room with groups of old people seeming to... be having the time of their lives? The place looks more like a resort than a nursing home. An old man with a simultaneously toned but wrinkly body walks past me in a speedo heading for the pool area.

I snap my head towards Onai. "Where are the dying people?"

He glares at me. "This is a nursing home, not a hospice. These people are only like 180."

I blink a few times. "As in 180 years old?"

He nods.

I blink again. "Years old?"

"Why do I have to keep repeating myself with you?"

I'm shook. "So if they're 180, how old are you? 120?" I smirk. That's what he gets for being so rude.
