Sebastian couldn’t stand properly after seeing that.
Channing grabbed the doctor’s shoulders and roared. “What happened? Isn’t this the best hospital? What have you done to Mr. Hayes, huh?”
He almost fractured the doctor’s shoulders.
Devin immediately went up to stop them. “Calm down, you guys. Listen to what the doctor has to say first!”
The hospital in the military headquarters was the best in the country.
This was why Devin admitted Frederick into this hospital after receiving Sebastian’s call.
No one expected Frederick’s condition to deteriorate all of a sudden.
“It’s not the usual case of myocardial infarction. We noticed Mr. Hayes’ aorta is all hardened, and it’s due to excessive use of medication…” the doctor explained.
The doctor explained further about the condition, but Sebastian could not recall a thing he said anymore.
When Sebastian regained consciousness, he only remembered wearing the sterile gown and sitting beside the bed in the ICU ward.
Frederick was on ventilatory support even though his heart was not beating anymore.
“You’re just gonna lie here and assume I’ll forgive you?” Sebastian glared at the old man and murmured.
Yet, at this stage, Frederick could no longer scold and annoy Sebastian like how he did in the past.
The ward was filled with pin-drop silence.
Channing, who stood outside the ward, turned to Devin and gave him a USB drive. “Can you please pass this to Sebastian later?”
Devin gave him a puzzled look. “Where are you going? Let’s wait for him, and we’ll discuss the next course of action together.”
Yet, Channing, who had worked closely with Frederick for years, responded with a grin and left.
Two days later, Sebastian walked out of the crematorium with Frederick’s cremation urn.
“We received news from Jetroina. Channing is dead, but he killed Ken Sato,” Devin delivered the news with a heavy heart.
