A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

Chapter 403 To Fall Ill

The creditors finally made their final stand, declaring they would come to seize the house in three days.

William paced back and forth in the living room, cursing under his breath, "What the hell? Three days? It's just about money. Back in the day, I had more than enough—that amount was nothing!"

He expressed disgust. "Now that I'm down on my luck, they're here to kick me while I'm down. Shameless, despicable bastards..."

The more he ranted, the angrier he became. His face turned deep red, his hands turned red, and his mind began to cloud. As he paced, he felt as if his soul were leaving his body.

"Oh no! William, w-what's wrong with you?" Vera watched in horror as William collapsed to the floor, convulsing. Frozen in panic, her face twisted with worry, she called out to him repeatedly, but he didn't respond. Frantic, she rushed to grab the phone, stumbling along the way.

"Hello, 911? My husband just collapsed—I don't know why! Please, hurry and help him!" She sobbed.

After confirming their address and being assured that help was on the way, Vera set the phone down. She wanted to move him to the couch, but she remembered the doctor's warning. Helpless, she wrung her hands, pacing in place.

The thought of hospital bills and countless other looming troubles overwhelmed her. She picked up the phone again.
