Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 1307 Maybe There's Hope
The winter sun had this knack for making everything feel a bit warmer, even in the cold.
Percy added another cushion to the wheelchair while Micah gently placed Hubert on it, tucking a blanket around him with care. "Percy, can you start the fire?" Micah asked, his voice calm but with a hint of urgency. Micah knew that people close to death had a special fear of the cold. Hubert needed warmth more than ever.
Micah wrapped Hubert tightly in the blanket and asked Paula to get a bowl of hot soup for him.
Hubert soaked up the sun, warmed by the fire, and slowly regained some energy after sipping the soup. He squinted at Micah and managed to say, "Thank you!"
"You deserve it. You saved Sadie and Mia," Micah replied softly, pulling out his handkerchief to wipe the stains from Hubert's mouth.
Back then, he hadn't even taken care of Raymond like this because he didn't have the chance. Now that he did, he wanted to repay a bit of the kindness.
"I'm sorry," Hubert mumbled, looking at Micah with guilt in his eyes. He could barely speak, but he was still worried about Micah's illness.
Hubert had spent his life treating and saving many people, doing countless good deeds. Before he got sick, he had cured Sadie and Mia, repaying Edmond's kindness from years ago. In that sense, he should have no regrets. But thinking of Micah, Hubert still felt guilty. Maybe it was because he was too old and not as energetic as before, so he had overlooked Micah's condition back then. Now wanting to treat Micah, he found he had no time left. Hubert had planned to write out the treatment plan before he died so that even if he was gone, Percy and Paula could continue treating Micah. But before he could finish writing the plan, he was completely incapacitated. "Life and death are in the hands of fate," Micah comforted, holding Hubert's hand. "Don't worry about me."
Hubert shakily pointed to his chest, and Percy understood, immediately taking out a piece of paper from inside his clothes.
The paper was crumpled and had some words Percy couldn't understand, along with some strange drawings. The words and drawings were probably unfinished, with only commas and no periods, and the drawings were only half done. Hubert pointed at Micah. Percy immediately handed the paper to Micah with both hands, saying solemnly, "Mr. Henry told me last night when he was feeling better that if we could replace that person, he might understand and follow the plan on this paper to cure you."
"Who is that person?" Andrew quickly asked.
"His name is Riley," Percy said cautiously. "He was Mr. Henry's first apprentice, studying under him for twenty years, with exceptional talent."
At this point, Percy felt a bit ashamed. He had also studied under Hubert for many years but had only learned some superficial knowledge. Hubert said he wasn't very gifted and had advised him to give up several times, but he couldn't bear to leave.
After all, Percy was an orphan with nowhere to go. It was Hubert who adopted him from the orphanage, and he thought he should at least take care of Hubert until his death before leaving.
"So Riley was Hubert's student," Andrew said, shocked. The legendary Riley was very mysterious, not only skilled in medicine but also seemingly possessing great abilities. Mentioning Riley, Hubert let out a long sigh.
"Keep it safe," Percy cautioned seriously as he handed the will to Micah.
Micah took it, carefully folded it, and put it in his pocket, then said to Hubert, "Thank you!"
Hubert squinted his eyes, looking into the distance, still waiting for Sadie's arrival.
Micah asked Andrew to call and urge her, and at that moment, the sound of a car came from outside. Andrew hurried to greet it.
