Chapter 98
“What caused his death? As far as I know, a blood transfusion is a minor procedure, nothing should have gone wrong.”
“Why, why didn’t he have a chance to be saved when he was sent to the hospital?“}
The doctor looked at him like he was crazy.
“Blood transfusions are dangerous. But on top of that, you used pig’s blood? How could pig’s blood be the same as human blood? How could the deceased not get infected? I really don’t understand what you were thinking!“}
“This is insane! I’ve been practicing medicine for years, but I’ve never seen anything like this! The father of the poor kid wasn’t even contacted during the operation. How could such an irresponsible person have a child?“}
The doctor’s harsh words reached Charles‘ ears one by one. In the large office, he could clearly hear his own heartbeat. The doctor’s words kept echoing in his mind.”
Pig’s blood …
The Catholic priest Annette found for Alex had replaced his blood with pig’s blood. Alex was severely infected and died. The horrible truth ripped open a huge wound in his heart.”
Each breath hurt. Charles didn’t even know how he left the hospital. When he found out that Joanne had taken his son’s body, he began to feel like a walking Corpse.
He stumbled into the morgue. Surrounded by cold, lifeless bodies. He could still hear his scolding of Joanne echoing in his mind.”
“You actually dared to come back? I thought you were addicted to preparing funerals and refused to leave the morgue.“>
One slap after another hit his face. Charles couldn’t even feel the pain. To make sure everything that had just happened wasn’t a dream, he went out onto the street and asked everyone he passed to slap him.
People thought they were meeting a madman and quickly stepped away.§
Charles smiled bitterly, thinking that a slap wasn’t enough to make him feel awake. He scratched his palm before a fruit stand on the street. The vendor ran away in panic.
At that moment, an ambulance sped by him.
Charles smiled again, disapprovingly. His mind was on the edge of breaking. He was about to leave and go back to confront Annette when his phone suddenly rang.
It was the emergency room at the hospital.
“Mr. Orville? Your mother just had a heart attack. She’s being treated now. Please come to sign the papers and pay the bills as soon as possible.”}
In an instant, his heart felt like it was struck by lightning. The coldness spread through his limbs. As soon as Joanne left, his mother had been sent to the hospital. And no one could explain what caused her illness.
The curse his mother had mentioned to him over the past five years rang in his ears.}
Charles didn’t want to believe it, but he couldn’t stop himself from believing it. He rushed to the emergency room. His mother was dying, too weak to even hold his arm.}
‘Charles… This is the curse of the Orville Family, the fate of the Orville Family.“D
“If you can’t find Joanne, I’m afraid I won’t make it through the night. Remember what I told you. If you want to live, you need to bring Joanne back… ”
After saying her last words, his mother fell into a coma.
Charles desperately asked the doctor to examine his mother, using all the emergency measures possible. Yet, the doctor said his mother’s illness wasn’t serious. Her condition had taken a sudden turn for the worse, but there was no clear explanation for it.
Everything was attributed to her lack of will to live, as if she had given up. But Charles knew the truth. This was the curse of the Orville Family.”
Before he could drive off to find Joanne, his assistant from the company called again.
“Mr. Orville, the company’s financial situation is falling apart! Please come back and take look. All the stocks have dropped to the limit and now the shareholders are demanding to sell their shares!“>
