CHAPTER 583
It wasn't long before a nurse returned with the needles Darren had requested.She handed them to him, still looking uncertain about what he intended to do with them. Darren took the needles without explaining anything and approached Mr. McArthur's bed.Everyone watched as he began his work.He inserted the first needle into Mr. McArthur's right ear. Next, he placed another between his ribs, just below his heart. He continued by inserting three more needles into his abdomen, one on the left, one on the right, and the last one in the lower part.Allison stood beside the bed, completely confused.“Darren, what are you doing?” she asked.Darren didn't answer. His attention remained fixed on Mr. McArthur as he carefully inserted the needles into the required positions.The nurses exchanged puzzled looks. They had never seen anything like this before, and they couldn't understand why Darren was inserting needles into a patient who was already on the verge of death.One of them leaned towar
CHAPTER 582
Darren stood quietly, not bothering to argue with the doctor.He turned his gaze toward Mr. McArthur, who lay motionless on the bed. The man's condition was critical, and Darren knew that if he didn't act quickly, there might be no chance of saving him.“I can't waste any more time.”With that thought, Darren turned and walked out of the room.He stopped in the corridor and looked around to make sure nobody was watching him. Once he was certain he was alone, he reached into his pocket and brought out the old family ring.He had avoided wearing it for a long time, but this wasn't the moment to worry about his personal feelings.Mr. McArthur's life was at stake.Without further hesitation, Darren slipped the ring onto his finger.[Ding! The Legacy System has been activated.]A familiar voice sounded in his mind.At once, a powerful surge of energy flowed through his body. Darren felt his strength return, along with the strange sensation he had missed since taking off the ring.For a mom
CHAPTER 581
The doctor took a deep breath before delivering the news.“We've tried everything within our power to save Mr. McArthur, but I'm afraid his condition has deteriorated beyond what we can manage. Even the few days we initially expected him to have may no longer be possible. He could die at any moment.”Mrs. McArthur stared at him, unable to believe what she was hearing.“What are you saying, Doctor? Are you telling me my husband is going to die?”The doctor lowered his eyes briefly before answering.“I'm sorry, ma'am. Mr. McArthur is currently dependent on life support to keep him alive. Without it, I'm afraid he may not survive another day. At this point, all we can do is keep him stable and hope for the best, but I don't want to give you false hope.”Allison's legs nearly gave way.“No! Daddy!” she cried, tears streaming down her face.Mrs. McArthur burst into tears as well. She covered her mouth with one hand, struggling to control herself, but the pain was too much. Her husband had

The doctor’s expression was far from reassuring.“Mr. McArthur collapsed because of the shock he experienced,” he explained.“And?” Charles demanded impatiently.Allison and her mother looked at the doctor anxiously, waiting for him to continue. Victoria stood quietly beside Darren, while Darren himself remained silent. He already had a good idea of what the doctor was about to say, and he could only imagine how the McArthur family would react to the news.The doctor hesitated. He looked uncomfortable, as though he were struggling to find the right words.After a moment, he sighed.“I don't know whether Mr. McArthur has told you about his condition, but he has terminal cancer. Based on our previous assessments, he has less than a year to live.”For a moment, nobody moved.The words seemed to hang in the air, leaving everyone struggling to understand what they had just heard.Then Mrs. McArthur let out a small, awkward laugh.“Doctor, I think there must be some mistake. I'm not sure w
CHAPTER 579
Mr. McArthur was rushed to the hospital immediately after collapsing in the dining room.By the time the family arrived, he had already been taken into the emergency room, leaving them waiting anxiously in the corridor.Allison and her mother could hardly sit still. They paced back and forth, occasionally glancing toward the emergency room door, hoping the doctors would come out with good news.Darren was also in the waiting area, accompanied by Victoria. He sat quietly for a while, watching the worried mother and daughter.Charles, on the other hand, sat on a chair with his head lowered. He hadn't said much since they arrived, and nobody knew what was going through his mind.Looking at Allison and her mother, Darren couldn't help feeling sorry for them. They were clearly terrified that something terrible might happen to Mr. McArthur. After all, he had collapsed right in front of them without warning.Darren could only imagine how much worse their reaction would be if they knew the tr
CHAPTER 578
Darren took another bite of the apple, chewing slowly as though the accusation he had just made was nothing serious.After swallowing, he turned his attention to Charles."Charles, I'm going to give you one more chance. Come clean and tell your father the truth yourself. If you confess now, things might not become as bad as they could be."Charles stared at him for a moment before letting out a cold laugh."Come clean about what? What have I done?" he demanded. "I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I confess?"He was convinced that Darren had no evidence against him. If Darren had possessed any proof, he would have presented it already instead of giving him repeated chances to confess.Charles decided to turn the situation around by attacking Darren's character.He turned toward his father and spread his hands."Father, can you see the kind of man you want Allison to marry? He hasn't even married my sister yet, and he's already lying against me and trying to turn you against y
