Chapter 4

DEAD

Stephanie was also shocked, and didn't care about it much as she turned around and ran out of the house. Seeing mother and daughter leaving in a rush, Raymond's head drooped. He felt that there were a whole lot of memories and knowledge in his head that didn't belong to him, including ancient medical wisdom with strange names Madison rebirth acupuncture, divine needle, the void body refinement technique that could cure human flesh and bones and many other mysterious techniques like cultivation techniques, cultivation levels, spirit pill forging and the likes.

“What were these things?”. It was as if there was nothing that could stop them from entering his mind.

Could it be that this was what the old man meant about being reborn and becoming. a butterfly in five years In that case, he really had to thank Christopher for that punch. It seemed to have been a trigger, a trigger that could turn the world upside down.

“have I really been reborn, transformed into a butterfly from a caterpillar?”.

Raymond wondered, raising his own strength, his entire body was filled with strength.

“Seems like the old man didn't lie to me. From today, I Raymond, I'm no longer a wimp. from today I'll make everyone look at me in a new light. I'll let those who've bullied and ridiculed me know what regret is”.

Raymond shook his head hard. Suddenly he remembered that his father in law was about to die without saying another word. He chased after his wife and her mother. By the time Raymond caught up to her, Stephanie had already started the car. Raymond quickly gooped in the back door and jumped in.

Rebecca was also sitting in the back when she saw Raymond get in. She immediately glared at him and said, “what are you doing here? Get out of the car”.

Raymond turned to look at her. He really couldn't understand why this woman always had an aggressive look every time.

“Can't I go and see my father in law?” Raymond didn't show any weakness. He stared into Rebecca's eyes and spoke clearly.

“And father in law? , you think you're worthy of being his son-in-law? Get the hell out of here. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude”.

Rebecca raised her hand and was about to hit Raymond.

Raymond's powerful energy was unleashed, and he stared coldly at Rebecca.

Rebecca couldn't help but be stunned. And her raised hand froze in midair.

“Alright, mom. We don't have time. Stop making a fuss”.

Stephanie said impatiently. And then she pulled out into traffic and speed to the hospital. Rebecca snorted and put her hand down. She didn't speak anymore. Half an hour later, the car stopped at L. A. People's Hospital. The three of them got out of the car as quickly as they could and headed straight to the V. I. P. Ward on the 3rd floor of the patient department.

Just as they walked to the door of the V. I. P ward on the 3rd floor. They heard a young woman's voice from inside.

“What are you doing? Don't touch my dad. Get lost. Get lost”! .

Stephanie. frowned. She could tell that this was the voice of her younger sister Jessica without any hesitation. She quickly stepped into the ward following closely. Rebecca and Raymond also entered the ward.

There is an old man lying on the bed in the ward. His body was covered with tubes and a young woman was hovering close by. She shouted at the two doctors in white coats and the nurse.

“Jessica, how's dad? Stephanie shouted.

Jessica saw her mother and sister coming in and immediately fell relief. She grabs Stephanie's arm and cried.

“Stephanie is about time you got here. These doctors are really useless. They want to stop treatment. They're trying to turn off dad's respirator. They even stopped his machine. They're going to let dad die”.

When she heard this, Rebecca's violent temper rose. She stamped her foot, pointed at the two doctors and white coats and scolded loudly.

“How can you be like this? Other doctors try to save lives and mix injuries. But you just want to just let my husband die. Why aren't you giving him medicine? Do you want him to die?”

The young male dr. Dr Blake said “Mrs Rodriguez, you've got a rock. You all know Mr Rodriguez's condition. He's been in a coma for a year, and we've done our best. But now his organs are starting to fail. And there's no point in trying to treat him any longer. Besides, you already owe more than a month of medical fees, and you haven't paid them yet”.

“Dr Blake!”, Dr Stevens, a man in his 60s whose hair was already white, interrupted his colleagues' words. He then eased his tone and said to Rebecca, “I can understand your feelings. For the past year, your husband relied on expensive medicine and instruments to maintain his life. But a year ago, he was diagnosed as brain dead. The organs in his body were still functioning, which is the state we are talking about. But now his condition has changed and the organs in his body are failing.

Medication can't help in this situation, and the respirator will only increase his pains”.

“So is that why you remove the respirator and stop supplying medication? Won't that make him die faster?” Rebecca shouted loudly and her face revealed a look of extreme grief? She turned her head to look at the old man lying in the hospital bed. It was also her husband.

She couldn't help but cry. “You can't die, if you die. I don't want to live anymore”.

Dr Stevens signed and shook his head. “I'm sorry. We've tried our best. Please accept our condolences”. These words undoubtedly sentenced Donald Rodriguez to death.

Stephanie, Jessica and Rebecca wept for a moment. The atmosphere in the ward was desolate. Only Raymond stood there without moving from the moment he came in. He had been staring at his father in law, Donald, in the bed. Some medical knowledge that he couldn't understand kept appearing in his mind.
