Samson’s POV:
I jumped up from the bench, rushing forward almost at the same time as Amanda.

The doctor removed his mask. Fatigue and regret were written all over his face as he let out a quiet sigh. “We did everything we could. The injuries were too severe. Multiple internal organs were ruptured, and there was massive blood loss. He’s barely holding on. You should go in and say goodbye.”
“No… that’s not possible…” I staggered back a step, my mind completely blank.
How could this be?
Grandpa had been fine. How could everything fall apart so suddenly?
I heard a soft sound behind me and turned around just in time to see Amanda’s body give way. She nearly collapsed, but Cody caught her in time.
Her face was pale as paper, her lips trembling. The news had clearly crushed her too.
I couldn’t think about anything else. I rushed into the operating room like I had lost my mind.
On the hospital bed, Grandpa lay there quietly. His face was ashen, all the sharp vitality he once had completely gone. He was barely clinging to life, his breathing so faint it was almost imperceptible.
“Grandpa!” I rushed to the bedside and grabbed his cold hand, tears pouring out
uncontrollably. “I’m sorry … Grandpa, this is my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt…”
Grandpa slowly opened his eyes. When he saw it was me, he gave a weak smile. His trembling hand lifted with great effort and rested against my cheek. “Silly child… why are you apologizing… this isn’t your fault…”
“Grandpa…” My voice broke, and I couldn’t say another word.
“Eclipse Pack … will be completely in your hands from now on…” His voice grew weaker, but there was an undeniable firmness in it. “You must lead it well… The responsibility of rebuilding and strengthening Eclipse Pack … I’m trusting it to you…”.
I nodded hard, tears blurring my vision. “I understand, Grandpa. Don’t worry. I promise I’ll take good care of Eclipse Pack. I won’t let you down.”

A look of relief crossed Grandpa’s face, but the next second, he broke into a violent cough, his chest rising and falling with each strained breath.
“Grandpa, please stop talking. You need to rest,” I said quickly, trying to help steady his breathing.
He waved his hand weakly and took a shallow breath. His eyes shifted toward the door of the operating room. “Amanda … is she here?”
I froze for a moment, then nodded quickly. “She’s here. She’s right outside. Grandpa, I’ll bring her in right now.”
I released Grandpa’s hand and hurried out of the room. Amanda was still standing by the door, her eyes red and swollen. I walked up to her and spoke through my tears. “Come in. Grandpa wants to talk to you.”
Amanda’s POV:
Hearing the break in Samson’s voice made my heart clench even tighter.
I sniffed quietly, forcing down the ache in my throat, and followed him quickly into the operating room.
The moment I stepped inside and saw Hugh lying on the bed, barely holding on, I completely lost control. Tears streamed down my face, my voice shaking beyond restraint. “Hugh…”
I couldn’t believe it. Just this morning, he had been smiling at the breakfast table, calling my name, urging me to eat, and reminding me to go with him to the Operations Department.
Only a few hours later, the energetic, kind old man was lying here, lifeless and fading right in front of me.
“Amanda … don’t be sad… don’t cry…” Hugh looked at me and forced a weak smile, his voice light as a whisper. “I’m fine…”
I rushed forward and crouched beside the bed, tightly holding his other cold hand. His hand felt so light, as if he no longer had the strength to lift it. I could clearly feel his life slipping away bit by bit.
“Good children … both of you are good children…” Hugh’s gaze moved between Samson and me, his voice filled with deep reluctance.
