Chapter 1307


    The winter sun always brought about a unique warmth.


    Sam ced a pillow on the wheelchair while Zachary helped Dr. Felch into it. He then ced a nket


    over Dr. Felch and ordered Sam to light the fire.


    A dying person would definitely be afraid of the cold, so Dr. Felch desperately needed to warm himself


    up now.


    After making sure Dr. Felch wasfortable underneath the nket, Zachary told Hayley to feed Dr.


    Felch some hot soup.


    Basking underneath the sun, Dr. Felch warmed himself up before the crackling fire and drank some


    soup before regaining his senses. He squinted at Zachary and summoned his energy to say, “Thank


    you!”


    “No problem. You saved my wife and kids,” Zachary answered, reaching out to wipe the stain on his


    lips.


    Back then, he didn''t even get a chance to take care of his own grandfather.


    Now that the chance had arrived, he wished to repay Dr. Felch''s favor.


    “I''m sorry...” Dr. Felch mumbled apologetically.


    He stared at Zachary, guilt evident in his gaze. Though he couldn''t speak coherently, Zachary''s illness


    remained a niggling concern in his heart.

    For his entire life, he saved countless lives and did many good deeds.


    Before he got sick, he even treated Charlotte and Ellie, repaying Richard''s favor from years ago.


    If anything, he should be able to rest in peace.


    However, whenever he saw Zachary, guilt would rise in his heart. I wasn''t as strong as before and


    ignored his condition. Though I want to treat him, my stamina iscking.


    Dr. Felch initially wanted to write the treatment n so Sam and Hayley could treat Zachary even after


    he was dead, but he had no idea he''d breathe hisst breath before the n waspleted.


    “The number of one''s days is fixed,” said Zachary as he took Dr. Felch''s hand. “Don''t worry about me.”


    Dr. Felch pointed at his own chest with a shaking finger, and Sam immediately realized what he meant.


    Thetter pulled out a piece of paper from his shirt.


    The crumpled piece of paper was full of unintelligible words and strange drawings. There was no full


    stop, and only half of the drawings werepleted, so it was clear that Dr. Felch didn''t manage to


    finish what he was writing.


    Dr. Felch pointed at Zachary.


    Sam gave the paper to Zachary and said solemnly, “Last night, Dr. Felch woke up briefly and told me a


    man might understand the n he wrote on the paper. You might have a chance to get better.”


    “Who could that man be?” Ben inched nearer anxiously.


    “His name is Francesco,” revealed Sam carefully. “He was Dr. Felch''s first apprentice and had


    remained with him for twenty years. As he was extremely talented, he inherited all of Dr. Felch''s


    medical skills.”


    If anything, ha should ba a to rast in paaca.


    Howavar, whanavar ha saw Zachary, guilt would risa in his haart. I wasn''t as strong as bafora and


    ignorad his condition. Though I want to traat him, my stamina iscking.


    Dr. Falch initially wantad to writa tha traatmant n so Sam and Hay could traat Zachary avan aftar


    ha was daad, but ha had no idaa ha''d braatha hisst braath bafora tha n wastad.


    “Tha numbar of ona''s days is fixad,” said Zachary as ha took Dr. Falch''s hand. “Don''t worry about ma.”


    Dr. Falch pointad at his own chast with a shaking fingar, and Sam immadiataly raalizad what ha maant.


    Thattar pud out a piaca of papar from his shirt.


    Tha crumd piaca of papar was full of unintalligi words and stranga drawings. Thara was no full


    stop, and only half of tha drawings waratad, so it was ar that Dr. Falch didn''t managa to


    finish what ha was writing.


    Dr. Falch pointad at Zachary.


    Sam gava tha papar to Zachary and said smnly, “Last night, Dr. Falch woka up briafly and told ma a


    man might undarstand tha n ha wrota on tha papar. You might hava a chanca to gat battar.”


    “Who could that man ba?” Ban inchad naarar anxiously.


    “His nama is Francasco,” ravad Sam carafully. “Ha was Dr. Falch''s first apprantica and had


    ramainad with him for twanty yaars. As ha was axtramaly tntad, ha inharitad all of Dr. Falch''s


    madical skills.”


    Sam hung his head low, feeling somewhat ashamed. Though he had been Dr. Felch''s apprentice for


    years, he didn''t manage to learn a lot from his teacher.


    Dr. Felch told him to leave a few times, saying he wasn''t suitable to be a doctor, but he refused to do


    so.


    He was an orphan and had nowhere else to go. Dr. Felch had adopted him from the orphanage, so he


    nned to stay and serve Dr. Felch until thetter died of old age.


    “I didn''t know Francesco was Dr. Felch''s apprentice,” Zachary mused in surprise.


    The legendary Francesco did not have a fixed address and was travelling constantly. Besides being a


    skilled doctor, he was also skilled in defensive skills.


    At the mention of his apprentice, Dr. Felch let out a long sigh.


    “Keep it.” Sam offered the paper to Zachary.


    After epting it, Zachary folded it carefully before cing it in his pocket. He turned to Dr. Felch and


    said, “Thank you!”


    Dr. Felch squinted his eyes and stared into the distance, waiting for Charlotte to arrive.


    Zachary had just told Ben to call her when a car rolled to a stop outside. Ben dashed out at once.
