chapter 1276


    Long and narrow needles were slowly injected into Frank''s arms, yet there were no signs of him waking


    up.


    Charmine frowned, her expression turning urgent.


    Nial looked at the unconscious Frank as he blurted, "His illness needs to get treated as soon as


    possible. It''s now worsening, and it''ll only wreck his life if nothing is done to him."


    Charmine and Anthony exchanged nces. They knew what to do, but knowing Frank, he would not


    agree to it...


    What else was there to do? Watch him in his final moments?


    Anthony frowned. "Why don’t we send him to the hospital, now that he''s ill?


    Why not find a way to treat him and make the next move?"


    Nial nodded at the suggestion, agreeing that it was a good idea, but...


    "No need..."


    Frank seemed to have overheard their conversation. He opened his eyes and said listlessly, "Don''t


    worry. Just leave me be, everyone." "Frank..." Charmine frowned andforted him worriedly, "You


    need an operation."


    Frank shook his head weakly. "I''ve made up my mind. Nobody can talk me out of it..." His voice was


    weak but determined.


    Nial, being a doctor, urged, "It’s not toote if you get treated now, Frank. Don''t be so pessimistic. We


    have advanced technology in our arsenal, and you''ll fully recover."


    With a heavy head, Frank closed his eyes and calmly remarked, "So what if I''m fully recovered..."


    His beloved had long left him, and he lost all motivation to live on. Every waking day felt like it


    suffocated him.


    Whenever he thought of how useless living was, he felt so hollow as though a sword prated


    through his heart.


    She must have missed him. She must have.


    Confused, Frank seemed to have seen her smiling gently at him, waving at him. He, frowning from the


    eye pain, broke into a genuine smile.


    One that made everyone feel heavy.


    "My love," Frank half-whispered, "wait for me..."


    No one knew what to say.


    Love was nothing in the end. To him, perhaps only death was worth anticipating...


    Frank fell back asleep minutester, his body still weak.


    Everyone was worried for him, yet he was too stubborn and refused their help.


    The bamboo forest fell into a tense atmosphere.


    Gazing at Frank''s pale face, Charmine felt heavy and walked out of the bamboo forest. Anthony


    followed after her and held her hands.


    "Don''t worry. We''ll think of something."


    Charmine made a sound and looked at the night sky.


    Was there any? Frank had no reason to live... What would make him stay?


    An idea urred to him as she looked at Anthony and said, "I have something, but I''ll need your


    cooperation, though!" i "Hmm?" Anthony looked at her.

    Charmine went to his side and whispered her idea.


    Anthony''s eyes turned heavier. After a long while, he nodded. "We may try, but be careful." "Okay."


    Since Frank needed more rest, Charmine practiced on her own. In less than half an hour, she saw Guy


    heading out with a knife.


    Charmine hesitated for a moment. She put down her brush and walked over to ask, "Mr. Granger,


    where are you going?"


    "Faye said there’s no more wood," said Guy. "I''m going to chop up some."
