Hardly anyone could claim to be as unfazed as me.
I've lost my brother, lost a child, yet I carried on with life as usual.
It's not that I didn't want to see Max. Sometimes the thought crossed my mind, but the mere idea would bring back a tidal wave of grief from two lifetimes, intertwining and overwhelming, prompting my heart to retreat.
Today, Evergreen Health Center was open for business as usual.
But trouble brewed at the doorstep.
A beggar and a tycoon were causing a scene.
I couldn't be bothered to deal with it, delegating the task to Helen. But soon enough, Helen came jogging back, unable to resolve the issue. "The beggar came in first to seek medical attention, but then this wealthy guy insisted his case was more urgent, claiming someone in his family had a severe heart attack."
I lazily lifted my eyelids, saying, "Tell him if it's that urgent, he should head to the hospital next door. They've got more doctors on hand."
Helen added, "But I saw the car they arrived in, it's an armored vehicle from out of town. I've been with Mr. Hilton for ages and never seen them around. No clue which family they belong to."
The mention of an armored vehicle piqued my interest.
Because in a dream, Kate had mentioned the person who took my fingers in another life arrived in an armored vehicle, a kind even Kate hadn't seen before. Given her status and the things she was used to, this was unusual. So, it might be the people Helen was talking about.
"Let's have a look."
I stood up and felt a wave of dizziness wash over me. I knew my health wasn't great, but I was determined to keep pushing through.
Evergreen Health Center was bustling, but few knew me personally. As I stepped out, most greeted Helen, unaware that I was the actual owner of Evergreen Health Center. Not that it mattered to me.
