Heinz and Zachary walked to the end of the corridor.
When Heinz saw that there was an open window, he took out a cigarette. He handed it to Zachary and lit one for himself.
The both of them smoked in silence beside the bed.
Heinz did not say anything nor did he try to advise Zachary.
After all, it would not be easy for anyone to deal with such a thing, not to mention him and his father.
"Isn't it a little cruel?" Zachary puffed out a mouthful of smoke and asked.
Heinz paused. He took a drag and said, "You have too much on your mind. There are some things that you just can't bear, so why do you have to worry about it?"
"Are you saying that I don't have to worry about Maxim?"
"I didn't say that." Heinz smiled.
Zachary also smiled helplessly. "That's right, I was the one who asked for all of this."
"Just go with the flow," Heinz replied. "Why don't we find a nurse for him now and go back?"
"Okay." Zachary did not want to stay here anymore. He believed that he had finished what he should have.
He finished smoking and was about to leave. Donald came out and greeted them, "Mr. Jones, my father wants to see you."
Heinz was stunned. Realization flashed across his eyes. "Just me?"
"Yes." Donald nodded. "Master Lowe wants to talk to you."
Heinz did not answer immediately, but instead looked at Zachary.
Zachary immediately frowned and said in a low voice, "He wants to persuade you."
Heinz shrugged and said, "He's trying to persuade me in an effort to persuade you as well. To be honest, he should persuade Grace instead, considering that I'm not even involved in this."
Zachary frowned. He was somewhat disgusted by Maxim's behavior.
What Maxim had done over the years had failed to touch his heart.
"Should I not go?" Heinz asked Zachary with a sinister smile.
Zachary was shocked. He looked at him and his expression grew grim as he said, "It's up to you."
Heinz rolled his eyes. "If I don't go and something happens to Master Lowe, wouldn't that be a lifelong regret? I don't want to be blamed."
Donald immediately replied, "Yes, you're right, Mr. Jones. You should meet him; it won't be for too long.
I don't think he has much time left either."
Heinz glanced at Donald and said, "You'd better pray that your father lives on. Otherwise, who would want to bother with all of you?"
Donald was stunned for a moment and immediately understood the meaning behind Heinz's words. He instantly answered, "Yes, you're right, Mr. Jones."
The only reason that Zachary was still dealing with him was because Maxim was still alive. Once he passes away, they would all go their separate ways.
They would no longer be a family.
Heinz glanced at him and went straight into the ward.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Maxim sitting up from the bed.
Heinz immediately said, "You'd better lie down. You're so old; if you're not going to die then don't move around."
Heinz had said that on purpose.
He didn't want to be too polite, because this cruel old man was too annoying.
