Chapter 1667
He now looked like he was gasping for his last breath.
Byran, scared out of his wits, quickly pushed his elder brother away. âBro! Now is not the time to
confront Dad. We need to save him first!"
Balfour snorted. âHe won't die! He needs to live to face the mess he's created!â
As soon as Balfour finished his outburst, the sound of ambulance sirens echoed from the outside.
Hospital.
When McNeil woke up again, he was greeted by the sterile white walls of the hospital and the smell
of disinfectant.
âDad! You're finally awake!â Byran's face came into view. Worry was etched all over his face.
McNeil paused, realizing that he had not been able to escape after all. Bitterness began welling up
in his eyes
Byran sat beside the bed. âDad, you can't do such foolish things again. What's bothering you so
much? Grandpa and Grandma still donât know you're in the hospital. They'd be terrified if they
found out!â
McNeil remained silent. He closed his eyes, not wanting to face the world.
Byran added, "Dad, the doctor said when you wake up, you should take these pills. They're for pain.
Here, let me help you sit up and take them, then you can lay back down.â
McNeil remained still, not accepting his youngest son's help and refusing to take the medication.
Byran was a little frustrated. âDad! You have to take them!â
McNeil remained unresponsive.
Byran was at his wit's end.
âLeave him alone. If he doesn't want to take his medicine, let him suffer!â Balfour's voice echoed
through the room.
He had been there all along, sitting on a couch in the corner, engrossed in his phone.
After hearing his eldest son's voice, McNeil abruptly opened his eyes, turned his head towards
Balfour, and rasped in a hoarse voice.
âBalfour, you said when we were home that I deserved to live in pain for the suffering I caused
them... Do you mean... they're still alive?â
Balfour remained coldly indifferent, still engrossed in his phone. âWhether they're alive or not is
none of your business.â
He found a glimmer of hope in his statement. McNeil strained to sit up. âBalfour, I know you've
always hated me, but no matter how much you hate me... Can I see them, please?â Upon seeing his
father struggle, Byran rushed to help him sit up.
âBro, stop tormenting Dad! He's already like this.".
Byran was heartbroken. He had never seen his father in such a state and didn't want to keep things
from him any longer. âDad, I know where your daughter is. I can bring her to the hospital to see
you."
McNeil looked at Byran in amazement. âReally?â
Byran nodded fervently. âYes! Dad, if you cooperate with the treatment and take your medicine, I'll
call her in the morning and ask her to come see you.â
Aspark fit up in McNeil's eyes. He sat up properly and reached out to take the medicine.
Due to his weakness, McNeil struggled with the action. After Byran helped him take the medicine,
he also helped his father lie down, advising him to rest.
For the chance to see his daughter, McNeil cooperated fully, nodding his head and closing his eyes
to rest.
After seeing this, Byran felt a terrible ache in his heart. He turned and walked over to sit next to
Balfour and whispered, âBro, if Dad/continues like this, Grandpa and Grandma will find out sooner
or later. If they're scared into an accident, our family will be ruined. If our sister could come see pad,
he would definitely cooperate with the treatment. He'd get better faster and won't attempt suicide
again.â
