When Martha heard his words, her eyes turned red as tears welled up in them.
Finally...
There was finally hope.
But she didn't know if Jimmy could pull through tonight.
Martha looked at the door of the emergency room. 'Jimmy, you have to pull through. Someone's here to help...'
Rhys turned to look at Stefan and regained his indifference. The mixed feelings in his eyes just now had disappeared.
Rhys said without any emotion, "I have no interest in your money and properties of the Harrison family. As for your life..."
If he wanted it, he would've had someone assassin Stefan long ago. He didn't need to wait until now.

'The man I hate the most is the one I am most grateful to.'
Stefan frowned.
He had mixed feelings. The man he hated was going to become his son's savior.
