Hearing the persistent coughing from inside the room, Samantha halted in her tracks.
From within the room, Daphne’s concerned voice emerged. “Mr. Dean, how is it that your condition worsened overnight? Were you up late working on documents again last night?”
Finley covered his mouth and continued to cough.
Before long, blood appeared in Finley’s cough.
Daphne was horrified. “Mr. Dean, why are you coughing up blood?”
“Mr. Dean, don’t scare me!”
“Mr. Dean.”
Finley looked at Daphne’before him, his voice weak. “Ms. Stuart, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. Please go outside; I need to rest for a while.
“But I can’t leave you alone in the room.”
“Leave. Don’t let anyone else in.”
His tone was already tinged with annoyance. Daphne, feeling helpless, had no choice but to leave.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Samantha standing outside the door. Daphne started to speak but was quickly silenced by Samantha’s hand over her mouth. Samantha shook her head, signaling Daphne to remain quiet. Then she led Daphne to a place where Finley couldn’t overhear and asked, “How is Finley’s condition now?”
Daphne felt deeply distressed at the question.
“I don’t know what happened to Mr. Dean. He suddenly started coughing up blood, and now his condition is very serious. I suggested calling Elias to take a look, but he refused.
Finley had been like a son to Daphne since she had no children of her own. She cared for him more deeply than anyone else.
Now that Samantha was the only one who did not reject Finley, Daphne feared that if Samantha left, Finley would be left all alone once again.
