Dr. Jason nodded with a grave expression, “Tonight might be the night. His condition is worsening at an alarming rate.”

Upon hearing the doctor’s premonition, Jasmine nervously wrapped her arm around Boyce’s. She could imagine the heavy atmosphere in the house now.

Boyce produced those moon cakes they had brought from the boot together with some gifts. It was a celebration today, so it would be unbecoming of him to come empty-handed.

Dr. Jason replied, “I need some fresh air out here. I will be in soon.”

Boyce nodded and entered the house with Jasmine.
