After Walter made his remarks, he turned and exited the ward, leaving Doris Young seething with anger, her entire body shaking.


    Her mother, Sydney, approached with tears streaming down her cheeks. She took Doris’s hand and, struggling to speak, said, “Doris, let it go. You need to give up. I can’t bear to see you walk into Walter’s trap.”


    Doris’s eyes filled with tears as she replied, “Mom, Dad doesn’t have much time left. If we can’t find a kidney source, he might notst more than half a month.”


    Sydney pped Doris’s hand gently, but with a firm resolve. “Your father and I have lived for over 50 years. In that time, we’ve had a full, happy, and prosperous life. If your father were to leave us now, I wouldn’t feel regret. After all, we’ve done our best as parents.”


    Doris choked on her words: “Mom, you did your best, but if I agree to Walter’s n, it won’t save Dad’s life. If I give up now, I might carry this guilt for decades. I could end up living with this regret until the day I die.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Sydney responded, “Doris, if you save your dad this way, he might not forgive himself. You’d be sacrificing your own happiness to save him, and witnessing your struggles could be more painful for him than death.”


    Doris hesitated, letting out a heavy sigh. “Alright, Mom, I’ll think about it again. I still have 24 hours to consider my options.”


    Sydney opened her mouth to say something but decided against it, choosing to let Dorise to her own conclusion. After all, this decision was fraught with emotional turmoil.


    Meanwhile, Charlie arrived at Mr. Quinton’s house, where the other guests had yet to arrive.


    The dinner was scheduled for seven o’clock in the evening, and it was only a little past two in the afternoon.


    As Charlie drove up to the vi, he found Mr. Quinton waiting anxiously at the door with Aurora and Steven by his side.


    Mr. Quinton was in high spirits that day, excited not only about the banquet Charlie was hosting but also about the rejuvenating pill Charlie had promised him. This time, Charlie had prepared two types of pills.


    The first was a healing pill that treated Jacob’s disease. While this pill was rtively basic and could cure various ailments, it didn’t possess the miraculous effects of the rejuvenating pill, which could make a person feel decades younger. Charlie intended to gift each guest a healing pill at the banquet.


    Additionally, since Mr. Quinton had provided Aurora with a high-quality purple ginseng aged over four hundred years, Charlie had managed to create thirty rejuvenating pills. He nned to give Mr. Quinton an extra rejuvenating pill as a gesture of gratitude.


    As Charlie parked his car, Mr. Quinton eagerly approached with his daughter and nephew, greeting him with respect. “Master Wade, you’ve arrived!”


    Aurora, feeling a bit shy, added, “Aurora wees Master Wade!”


    Steven, having learned from the adults, also respectfully said, “Steven wees Master Wade!”


    Charlie nodded with a smile and said, “Ms. Quinton, I truly appreciate you hosting this banquet at your home.”


    Mr. Quinton quickly replied, “Master Wade, you’re far too kind! It’s an honor for Quinton’s house to host you. Your presence makes it a grand asion!”<fn714b> Official source is fι?dnοvel</fn714b>


    Charlie smiled and waved his hand, “Let’s skip the formalities and get to the point. I n to give Aurora some guidance this afternoon.”


    Mr. Quinton’s face lit up upon hearing this. He gestured invitingly and said sincerely, “Master Wade, please, after you!”


    Charlie had previously visited the Quinton family vi by theke, and he felt a sense of warmth as he stepped inside.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
