Taken aback, Carlos moved to embrace the rushing figure of Nina. However, Nina was quick to dodge him, immediately twisting open the door and darting inside. 

Meanwhile, the sound from within reached their cars. 

“Sarah, this is my final request,” Benett said weakly. “My parents aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, they don’t understand the complexities of the situation. Only by doing this can they be reassured, and I can leave this world with peace of mind. After all, everything will eventually belong to our Nina. Consider this my last act of willfulness. Get a lawyer, I don’t have much time left. Surely, you don’t want me to die discontented, do you?” 

“But…t–this doesn’t make any sense!” Sarah choked out in agony. 

“I…” Cough, cough, cough… “Please, just agree to it, consider it as me begging you!” Cough, cough, cough… 

“Don’t do this… All right, all right, I agree. I will call the lawyer right now.” Sarah’s crying abruptly stopped as Nina embraced her. “Mom, don’t!” 

The trio were elated that they had finally managed to persuade Sarah when Nina butted in. They were instantly taken aback and furious. At such a critical moment, the last thing they needed was a sudden setback. 

“Nina?” Sarah was feeling upset. 

After all, her husband was on his deathbed, and he wanted a divorce just before his impending demise. It was a situation most people would find unbearable. She could only assume that his impending death had filled him with fear and confusion. Perhaps, in his misguided devotion, he had been swayed by his parents‘ persuasive words, wanting to provide them with some sense of stability. That was the only explanation for such an irrational act. 

Although Sarah was certain that she would never stoop to seizing her husband’s inheritance, her in–laws remained unconvinced. Their continued fussing was nothing short of tormenting her husband in his final hours. 

“Whatever,” she thought, “it’s all a mere formality in the end. If they insist on doing this, I don’t really care. To us, we are still husband and wife. This so–called divorce is nothing more than a legal assurance for their 

assets.” 

Faced with her husband of over a decade on the verge of death, even a strong–willed woman like Sarah couldn’t question his final request. 

However, seeing her daughter’s reaction, Sarah assumed that Nina had accidentally overheard their talk of divorce and had misunderstood. She quickly comforted, “Nina, don’t cry. Your dad and I aren’t really getting a divorce. We’re still your parents who love you the most.” 

Benett also huffed, “Nina, don’t be stubborn. Your mom and I have discussed this. Don’t waste any more time.” 

However, Nina was shaking uncontrollably. She was practically speechless, words teetering on the edge of her lips, yet she found herself unable to utter them due to her overwhelming emotions. She turned to look at the frail man on the hospital bed. Despite his struggle to even speak, he was still painstakingly using his last moments to manipulate her and her mother, paving the way for his mistress and their illegitimate 

children

Nina, being part of an affluent family, naturally witnessed more of such a scenario than her peers of the 

same age. 

Moreover, those people had clearly outlined the pros and cons during their conversation. Even though she didn’t fully comprehend, she understood that if she allowed her parents to divorce, it would be equivalent to her and her mother being ruthlessly bullied by bad people. 

“I don’t agree, Dad. Are you really divorcing Mom? And you’re asking her to leave without anything?” Nina’s eyes were blurred with tears as she looked at Benett.
