At this moment, Yule started to cough a few times in discomfort. It took him a while to calm down and he said in a serious tone, "Charlie, you’ve been wandering aimlessly in Aurous Hill for the past ten odd years like a dragon swimming in the shallows. It’s time for you, the true dragon, to return to your rightful place!” 9
Then, he continued regretfully, "The Golding family may not have the strength to let you succeed overnight, but with our support, you'll have a solid backup foundation if you decide to return to the Wade family in the future. With the Golding family’s support, if you want to fight for the Wade family's inheritance, you'll have a much higher chance of success!" 2
Charlie felt utterly ashamed after hearing this.
He didn't expect that even though he had left the Wade family and gotten married, Yule and Rachel would insist on fulfilling the marriage agreement that they had agreed upon decades ago and marrying Quinn, the popular actress, to him. s
The more enthusiastic they were, the stronger the regret he felt for Quinn and the entire Golding family. 6
At this moment, Yule said, "Charlie, I wasn't planning t o continue my treatment at the hospital anymore. To this point in life, I've seen all kinds of turbulence and storms, so I'm not afraid of death and I hope I can die
with dignity. However, when I see you again after so many years, I suddenly have a desire to survive. My greatest hope now is to see you and Nana get married with my own eyes. In fact, it would be truly a blessing i f I can live to see the two of you have a child of your own." s
Quinn, who was sitting on the side, burst into tears and choked up. “Dad, don't say that..." 2
Yule smiled gently and said, "Darling girl, you know m e. I never pretend or exaggerate my words, all I say comes from my heart."
Then, he looked at Rachel and said, "Honey, call Mr. Holmes, the director of Fairview Hospital, and tell him that I've made up my mind. I want to go through the treatment religiously; I want to live one more day to see my daughter get married and if possible, I want to live until I can hold my grandchildren. I would do anything for all of these even if I have to suffer for it." 6
Rachel immediately nodded profusely.
In fact, she had been urging Yule to actively cooperate with the treatment and not give up even for a glimmer of hope.
But Yule himself had surrendered to his illness. He didn't want to suffer all sorts of inhumane torments for the sake of living for another year and a half.
