The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1205

Dr. Quincy didn't afford her an ounce of politeness. "Family members need to step aside! Do not interfere with the medical staff!"

Lydia was clearly offended, but she didn't want to be blamed for delaying life-saving treatment.

She stepped back, still muttering under her breath about how Claire was too young to be trusted.

Her doubts weren't entirely unfounded.

But Arthur immediately shut her down. "Lydia, stop causing a scene. Did you forget she's the one who went into the ER and saved him last time?"

Arthur may have made mistakes, but they were minor in the grand scheme of things.

Within the Darwin family, the eldest son still commanded authority.

Sure enough, the moment he spoke, the rest of the family fell silent.

Noah kept his eyes fixed on the doors to the resuscitation room, completely ignoring his relatives.

Arthur wanted to say something to his grandson, but with his wife and children hovering nearby, he knew showing Noah any attention would only spark a massive fight.

He was finally tasting the bitter consequences of the mistakes he'd made in his youth.

Arthur didn't view himself as a villain, but the things he had done were undeniably cruel.

He wanted to build a bridge with Noah, just like Harrison had, hoping the boy might eventually support their side of the family.

Unfortunately, Noah wasn't buying it.

While the Darwin family loitered in the hallway nursing their various hidden agendas, Claire walked into the resuscitation room.

One look at the gray, ashen color of Harrison's face, and she knew it was over.

She pulled out the Golden Needles, preparing to stimulate his acupoints, but a frail, trembling hand grabbed her wrist.

Harrison weakly shook his head. "No... more..."

His voice was barely a rasp, the words incredibly difficult to form.

But Claire saw the desperate plea in his eyes and understood exactly what he meant.

She looked up at Dr. Quincy, her expression heavy. "He's lost the will to fight. Let him pass peacefully."

A whirlwind of emotions crossed Dr. Quincy's face before settling into a deep, resigned sigh. "I know that's the right call, but the family out there..."
