Nathalie said, "I'm not gonna let you die. Nope, I'm gonna keep you hanging on, making every single day feel worse than death."
Patrick, wracked with pain and despair, lay miserably on the floor, tears streaming down his face. "Please, give me a break and forgive my mistakes. Let me hold onto a shred of dignity..."
Nathalie glared at him coldly and tossed a phone his way. "Go on, let your darling daughter give you that dignity."
With trembling hands, Patrick dialed Greta's number. When she answered, Patrick pleaded with tears in his eyes. "Greta, could you come to the hospital to see me?"
Greta brushed off Patrick's voice full of despair, using a tactic of feigned indifference. "Dad, I'm really sorry, but I've been swamped. Cameron's been feeling down, and I've got to be there for him. You just take care of yourself, okay? I'll have Nathalie come by to look after you."
Without giving Patrick a chance to respond, Greta hung up decisively. Patrick stared at the phone, his eyes filled with an indescribable loneliness.
Nathalie, ruthless as ever, remarked, "Trying to win her sympathy won't work. Your daughter is selfish; she only invests in people who can offer her something. To her, you’re no longer useful."
Patrick's face went pale. Feeling utterly let down by Greta, he suddenly made a bold decision, lifting his head with a look of resolve. "If I hand over the house to you, will you promise to take care of me?"
Nathalie replied, "I won't take your house for nothing. You can stay in the hospital, and I'll deduct the medical and care costs from the sale of the house."
Patrick, with determination, said, "Alright, I agree to give you the last house I own."
Nathalie's face lit up with satisfaction. "I'll go sort out your hospital admission."
