Chapter 2005 Dying Words
Meanwhile, at the security post outside the manor, Grant woke up and suddenly started vomiting, spitting out a mix of sour gastric fluid and traces of blood.
The bodyguard was shocked to see that. Mr. Farwell told me to keep on eye on this man, but looking at his condition, he must be severely ill. He's even puking out blood.
Hence, the bodyguard hastily informed the butler. After considering the situation, the latter decided to report that to Lucian.
Noticing Lucian and Roxanne sitting in the living room, the butler immediately approached them and reported, “That man outside seems to be suffering from a serious illness because he just vomited blood.”
Roxanne's right hand, holding the coffee mug, trembled after she heard that. She turned to look at her husband.
Lucian got to his feet at once and said to Roxanne, “Let's go take a look. If his condition is grave, we have to save him first.”
Pulling herself together, she nodded and quickly followed Lucian out of the house.
Less than half an hour had passed since they last saw Grant. However, taking in his appearance now, Roxanne was startled.
His face was extremely pale and waxen, his eyes were murky, and even his breathing seemed labored. It was as if he was on the verge of death.
As a doctor, Roxanne wasn't repulsed by the vomitus on the ground. Instead, she stepped forward and examined it.
“Roxanne. Is that you, Roxanne? I'm sorry. I've hurt you and your mother deeply...” At that moment, Grant struggled to prop himself up with assistance from the bodyguard next to him.
A faint smile of relief spread across his face when he saw her daughter. Then, he shifted his attention to Lucian. “Lucian, I'm indeed a failure."
