Chapter 126

”Doctor Collins, for the last five years I’ve always regretted the fact that I couldn’t stay with my father in his last moments. Could you please tell me the truth?”

Doctor Collins saw the plea in her eyes and sighed deeply. “I knew I couldn’t keep this a secret forever. Your father’s condition worsened suddenly… not without reason.”

Sharon’s breath caught in her throat, and her nerves were tense. “What reason?”

Doctor Collins looked at her and hesitated, but eventually he sighed again. “I’ll be retiring in half a month. Come visit me after I retire and I’ll tell you everything.”

Sharon was confused. “But why?”

Doctor Collins would not explain. “Let’s keep it at that for now, alright? I promise, I’ll tell you everything you want to know then.”

He refused to say another word. Although Sharon was anxious, she could not force him to speak.

After a pause, she said, “Alright, I’ll wait for another half a month. Please tell me then.” She had already waited for five years, she thought.
