Crossroads

Chapter 350

Gary woke up feeling weak, lying on the sterile white hospital bed. His face, already ciched with wrinkles, looked even more worn, with a gray stubble shadowing his jaw.

He seemed very tired and lacking energy

Still he managed to crack open his eyes and looked at his family in the room, listening attentively to his mother, Samantha, who was sobbing and softly scolding him.

“Gary, you have to get better, you hear me? This whole thing scared me half to death. We goita take care of ourselves.”

Gary’s lips were dry, and he didn’t speak, but he gave Samantha a weak nod.

Stephanie stood quietly by the side, watching. As her gaze drifted to the hospital bed, a wave of guilt and worry washed over her, making her quickly look away.

After Samantha finished speaking and wiped away her tears, she turned and called out, “Steffi, come closer and take a look at your dad.”

Diana gently nudged Stephanie forward. She took a big step and met Gary’s gaze. At that moment, she was at a loss, her eyes wide.

Although Gary was weak and listless, his eyes remained sharp as he stared straight at her.
