This school was no longer in use and had moved to another place.
However, the old campus had been transformed into an activity center for the elderly. The elderly from nearby communities would always come here for leisure.
Many retired teachers still lived in dormitories on campus.
Cars could not enter the compound, so the three of them went on foot. It did not take long before they arrived at the dormitory building.
It was a very old, five-story building with rows of rooms, just like the classrooms in those days.
Judging from the laundry drying outside, there were not many teachers living here anymore.
Chloe made a phone call. Then, the old principal's daughter, a plain-looking, middle-aged woman, came out to greet her.
"Hello, my dad has just woken up, so he can chat with you," There were unmistakable traces of tears in her eyes.
It was apparent that she had just cried bitterly.
Chloe walked in front with Rosalie following her. Byron was at the very back.
He asked the principal's daughter, "Do you have any medical records? What did the hospital say?"
"President Lawrence, thank you for your visit. However, my father's illness… I don’t think there’s any hope of recovery." The principal's daughter's face was filled with sadness again as she said that.
Byron and Chloe entered the room and saw the old principal lying on the bed. He was skinny and weak. Both the former students fell silent.
As a doctor, Rosalie sighed in her heart when she saw this.
The most fearful thing in life was falling seriously ill in old age. Not only would the patient's descendants lose their wealth from all the medical bills, but the patient would also suffer before death.
Once upon a time, the principal's eyes were full of light as he dedicated his life to education.
