Cyrus scolded, âLook at what heâs done to Clark! If Clark hadnât been so lucky, he might have died by now! He has to come and apologize to Clark, or we Richard glared at him. âFamily matters shouldnât be aired out. If you dare to call the police, donât blame me for disowning you as my son!â
Cyrus, breathing heavily with anger, pointed at Clark and said, âDad, how can you be so blased? Damon is your son, but is Clark not your grandson? An Richard retorted, âDonât forget it was Damon who helped you when your company was on the brink of bankruptcy several times!â
âIâm his brother. Thatâs what he should do!â Cyrus argued, his entitlement evident.
The argument between Richard and Cyrus grew more heated, while Clark, lying in bed with a cast, stared blankly out the window, lost in thought.
Not far from the window was a university.
As the sun set, young couples walked hand in hand across the campus. The evening glow was bloodâred, casting long shadows.

When he finally mustered the courage to grasp her hand, his heart had been After that, he never saw such a beautiful sunset again, and the intense desire to be with her gradually faded over time.

Cyrusâ face flushed with embarrassment, his hand hovering in the air, unsure whether to put it down. âYou Ignoring him, Clark walked out of the hospital room.
In the hallway, a crowd had gathered, all eyes on Rebecca, who was struggling desperately on the floor, Rebecca looked frantic, her hands flailing to keep people away, her face etched with terror.
She screamed, âI donât want to have surgery! I want to leave here! Let me go!â
Clark watched her coldly, his gaze fixed on her motionless legs. He narrowed his eyes.
Seeing the crowd, a nurse quickly explained, âThis patientâs legs are necrotic and need to be amputated. She canât accept this reality and is refusing the surgery. Weâre trying to convince her. You should return to your rooms. Staying here wi âYouâre lying! My legs arenât necrotic at all!â Rebecca shouted, her eyes burning with fury.
Her wild, clawing behavior made her seem almost Insane.
Some began to suspect she might be mentally ill.
âGet her out of here! Her shouts are disturbing us!â
Many people returned to their rooms, but when Rebecca spotted Clark, she saw a glimmer quickly crawled toward him.
