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
CHAPTER 577
The moment Charles's eyes landed on Darren, his entire body froze.For a few seconds, he remained motionless, staring at the man standing at the entrance as though he had just seen something impossible.Darren Hilton was alive!How could that be?Hadn't the gang leader sent him a message confirming that the mission was successful? Hadn't he spent the entire night waiting for news of Darren's death?Yet here Darren was, standing right in front of him, looking perfectly fine."No..." Charles muttered, shaking his head. "No, this isn't real. I must be hallucinating."He took several steps backward, his eyes never leaving Darren's face."This can't be happening!"His panic grew so intense that he failed to notice the chair behind him. His legs struck it, and he lost his balance, falling hard onto his buttocks.The sound of the fall drew everyone's attention.Darren stood at the entrance, watching him with a sly smile."What's wrong, Charles?" he asked casually. "Have you seen a ghost?"Ch
CHAPTER 576
"Darren is a good man, and he comes from a powerful family," Charles continued, looking at his father with a sincere expression. "If Elder Sister marries him, our family will become even more powerful. Just think about it, Father. With the heir to the McArthur family and the heir to the Hilton family becoming husband and wife, our two families will be connected. We might not become the second most powerful family in the city overnight, but we will certainly be among the most powerful."Mr. and Mrs. McArthur stared at Charles in utter disbelief. Allison was equally stunned.What had they just heard?Was this really coming from Charles McArthur?Only yesterday, he had been determined to prevent Allison from marrying Darren. He had even threatened Darren because he feared losing his inheritance. Yet, this morning, he was not only encouraging the marriage but also explaining how beneficial it would be for their family.Mr. McArthur was so surprised that he almost forgot to continue eati
