Barrett and Rose walked from the company. Rose could not help but gaze at him in surprise. The incident made his face black.

Rose tried to break the silence, but her comments might sound pointless because of her old boss’s dilemma.

“Boss, do you really think this is the best option?” Rose asked.

“It’s not like I have many other options, Rose,” he said with a forced smile. “Only then could treatment begin. I sold what remained. Without money, the company couldn’t survive. Therefore selling the trucks and building was the best option.”

With Barrett’s burden on his shoulders, she couldn’t imagine what decisions he would make. Perhaps, selling the company was the wisest choice.

“All that was in your wife’s name. Is it really okay to sell all that?” Rose asked, frowning.

Barrett paused before he looked at the building behind them.

“They’re his daughters too... so yeah, it’s fine,” Barrett said. He took a deep breath and looked at Rose with a smile, “Relax. I negotiated with the buyer and drivers. Six more months. You won’t be unemployed.”

“Even at a time like this, you care about me. That’s incredible, boss,” Rose remarked, feeling bad. She has worked and won’t struggle. Barrett won’t be the same.

He nodded and said, “Take care of yourself. I need to go to the hospital!”

“Barrett, if you need anything, to watch your daughter, a place to sleep, etc., call me. Okay?” Rose said sincerely.

He waved goodbye without looking back. Knowing he could count on someone was comforting.

However, at that time, only money could help.

In the hospital, he saw his daughter sitting in a chair right in front of her sister’s room.

“Honey, what are you doing here?” Barrett knelt before Melanie.

“Mommy said she had to look for something, that I would stay here, and that she would return,” Melanie replied sleepily.

Barrett was furious. His wife frustrated him. Who knew how long Melanie had been waiting there?

“What’s that, sweetie?” Barrett asked when he noticed that Melanie had an envelope behind her.

“I don’t know. Mommy told me to give it to you, that you would know what it was,” Melanie said after grabbing it from her back.

Barrett took the envelope. The content made him angry. He tightened his fists to control his temper. When Barrett saw the doctor, he called Claudia.

“Can you go and hold your sister’s hand, honey? She can listen to you. Tell her that she will be fine,” Barrett softly told Melanie.

Melanie nodded, then she jumped up and entered her sister’s room.

“Doc, I made a deposit. Did you see it?” Barrett politely asked the doctor.

The doctor nodded and said, “Indeed. I noticed. It covers a month of treatment. But it’s still long  treatment, Mr. Barrett.”

Barrett nodded and said, “I know, and I will, don’t worry.”

“I know this is difficult, I would really like to tell you that there is another way, but I can’t. But there is always hope. Don’t lose it,” the doctor said, patting his shoulder lightly, then the doctor departed.

Barrett looked at the papers in his hand with a strange expression. He took his phone and called Rose.

“Hey, Boss! I knew you couldn’t spend too long away from me, boss. Tell me what you need,” Rose seriously said.

Barrett sighed and said, “I know this is too much to ask, but I need your help...”

“What do you need me to do?” Rose asked.

“That you take care of my girls for a couple of hours? I need to do something. It is important. Is that alright?” Barrett softly asked.

“No problem. Giving me two hours with the beauty of your daughters is a favor you do to me,” Rose assured.

Rose would arrive in 20 minutes. Really appreciated Rose’s help.

When she arrived, he gave Rose a hug that made her blush.

“Rose will stay with you for a couple of hours. Daddy is going to look for Mommy, okay?” He softly said to Melanie as he rubbed his daughter’s head.

The girl nodded with a smile. Barrett thanked Rose.

Barrett left the hospital, and after  30 minutes, he arrived at a Mansion.

“I’m sorry, Mr! There is a meeting there. You can’t enter!” The man firmly said after approaching him.

Barrett frowned, “My wife is in there—”

“You can’t pass,” the man shook his head, then he tried to grab him. “Leave!”

Before he could, Barrett seized his elbow and twisted it, causing him to cry in pain and kneel down.

“Mother-fu***r!”

Just then, another man tried to attack Barrett.

“Try, and you will be like him!” Barrett yelled, which stopped the man. “Help your friend, and it’s just dislocated!”

Barrett then ran to the mansion’s gate.

There was a huge party. Everyone was celebrating. He looked at the wealthy people congratulating each other on their wonderful lives. Seeing them reminded him of his daughter in the hospital.

The dark voice within him was yelling that they should all suffer. His desire is to destroy everyone but slowly controlling himself. Then he noticed Claudia in a bright outfit that enhanced her skin tone.

“Your daughter is in the hospital, and you here, wasting time! What do you think you’re doing?” Barrett yelled as he approached her quickly.

Claudia turned in his direction. She looked calm, which characterized wealthy people.

“You didn’t have to come, just sign the papers, and everyone will be fine.” She coldly looked at him, from top to bottom.

Claudia’s words could almost break Barrett’s mind. He glanced at the whispering onlookers. He then opened the envelope.

Claudia was giving him a warning gaze, but he ignored it and started reading her note.

“Barrett, this was a mistake from the beginning. It is better that we go on separate paths. Sign the divorce papers and forget that I existed!”

After reading, Barrett spat out. She glanced at him coldly and nodded to confirm everything written on it.

After throwing it on the floor, he approached her.

“Don’t get any closer! You are a dangerous man!” Claudia yelled, stepping back.

Barrett stopped in his tracks. Okay. She was correct on that one, and he could not refute it.

“And your daughters, you stupid c*nt? Will you also forget them? Will you forget that one is dying at the hospital?” He questioned, glaring at her.

Everyone looked at Barrett. Just then, the security arrived.

“I couldn’t take my daughter the first time. Won’t you let her come back?” An elderly man with white hair asked.

Barrett trembled in anger. He glared at the old man and said screamed at the top of his lungs, “She’s abandoning her daughters!! She robbed all my money, which was supposed to save her! You want her to die?!! What kind of people are you!?”

 “What kind of man are you? You come here to shout that they stole your money and swear that your daughter is in the hospital... You have no pride?” Someone questioned.

Barrett glanced at whoever and saw a young man with a tiny mustache and straight hair. He walked towards him to crush his face, but the old man appeared in front of him.

“Perhaps you want to die today. Do you want it to be here or in jail?” The old man said. “You are trespassing, and we can call the police!”

The old man really knew where to attack. Police would really put Barrett in a very tight spot.

Because of that, when the guards approached, Barrett let them grab him and dragged him out.

“Claudia, what are you doing? Please, don’t do this are your daughters... Please!” Barrett yelled.  

Claudia frowned. She looked at the man with the mustache and said something.

“Wait!” The man suddenly said with a smile. “My fiancée has a heart of gold.”

“Fiancée?” Barrett questioned, looking at Claudia, who avoided his gaze.

“Listen, friend... If you sign the papers in the envelope and apologize, we will not present charges to the police. Maybe we can help you with the money for your daughter as well,” the man said.

Barrett looked at him and, with a rush, took the papers. The man in a suit threw a pen to the floor that Barrett took. He signed on it quickly.

“Here, I am very sorry. Please help my daughter!”

“We will give you the help fund of my company. There are five thousand dollars. With that, it will be enough...” The man replied mockingly.

Barrett lost his reason. He was fooled!

He was about to attack the man, but the guards started threatening him with the police.

“Claudia, return my money, please. I need it. Claudia, I beg you!! She is your daughter!!” Barrett continued yelling as the guards dragged him away.

Claudia did not even look in his direction. She just left the place hurriedly as if hiding from the current spectacle.

Just then, Barrett felt the electric shocks of stunning canes on his back.

The man was about to enter the ramp when Claudia’s fiancée said, “Of course, you don’t want me to call the police? Who will take care of your girls then if you really went to prison? Do you think they have any use?”

The man’s eyes were something that he had seen so many times in the dark place where he came from. A vile person. He wouldn’t let him near his girls.

Barrett stopped. He stared in front of him. He couldn’t believe it.

He couldn’t rescue his daughter. Claudia, his main support, left him.

The night was darker than usual, and this left only one option, the most horrible of all.
