Sir. Lloyd had no strength left in his body. After taking so many painkillers, his body was almost numb. Even so, he still tried his best to hold his hand back. "Now that you have Evelyn and Lucas by your side, I'm relieved. You have to live a good life and treat them well so that they can accompany you for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"
These words were too much like the instructions he had received before his death, causing Huston to feel extremely uncomfortable.
"You have to watch Lucas grow up. Don't say that."
Sir. Lloyd forced a smile and said, "Yes, I still have to watch the child grow up and listen to him call me Great Grandfather for a few more years!"
It was rare for the two of them to meet in the hospital. Sir. Lloyd had told him a lot about the past and present. There were many things that he knew and many things that he did not know. This moment was the closest to the Sir. Lloyd in Huston's life.
He seemed to be able to understand the hardships and sadness of the previous generation and how Sir. Lloyd survived.
Sir. Lloyd was in good spirits when he spoke. At least, his voice was quite stable. Originally, he had thought that he could make it through the night. It did not occur to him that Sir. Lloyd would feel so much pain in his heart when he said those words.
At 2:30 a.m., just as Huston was about to rest on the lounge chair next to the bed, he suddenly heard an ear-piercing beep from the instrument above his head.
He immediately woke up, opened his eyes, and went straight to the instrument. It was an instrument for testing heartbeats and blood pressure. The screen that should have presented a folding pattern slowly walked in a straight line.
He knew very well what it meant. His first reaction was to press the emergency button at the head of the bed.
In less than half a minute, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside, and a group of nurses and doctors in white coats and blue sterile suits rushed in.
