Unsure of what to do, she desperately didn't want Norbert Hetfield to die, yet she was powerless to save him.

At that moment, Edmund, standing by Greta's side, stepped forward and brusquely pushed aside the busy doctors, exclaiming, "What are you all fussing about? You're just wasting time. All you're doing is keeping him on his last breath, but he won't wake up this way."

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Edmund remarked, "The patient is quite advanced in age, and his body's functions have significantly declined. It's impossible for him to recover fully."

Hearing this, Morwenna looked at Edmund, her voice trembling, "Are you... are you saying there's still hope for Norbert Hetfield?"
