"I just think it's too much of a coincidence. Why is it always on your birthday? It's all my fault. I should have warned you not to go out yesterday...

Hackett looked impatient. "This has nothing to do with you. Don't take responsibility for everything."

"But... I'm afraid that it's really my brother who is bugging you. Could he have mistaken you for bullying me because he saw me commit suicide recently, so..." Cheryl deliberately talked about her brother, Abbot, to make them think that all of this was retribution and that Abbot's vengeful spirit was demanding his life.

As soon as Cheryl mentioned the name, the ward fell into dead silence.

The annoyed Barron suddenly turned pale. No one knew what he was thinking, but his gaze was complicated.

The man on the bed suddenly sneered. "In other words, Abbot's ghost is taking revenge on me? Then why didn't he kill me yesterday? That's an excellent opportunity. If I die there, it'll take me a few days for my body to be discovered."

He already hated the theory of retribution. He hated that the word retribution would involuntarily come to mind no matter what happened.

"Brother knows that I like you. He won't!" Cheryl was very confident.

Hackett was at a loss for words.

Barron suddenly stood up with his walking stick and said, "I'll go find the master to read your fortune again. You should recuperate in the hospital. I'll come and visit you tonight."

With that, Barron walked out of the ward with the help of his walking stick.

In the past, Barron was not so superstitious. However, since his son died tragically and his daughter-in-law went crazy, he began to believe in these things frantically. He went everywhere to ask for a lucky necklace and prayed for Hackett's safety Looking at his grandfather's old back, Hackett's handsome face turned cold. He glanced at Cheryl and said, "You should go out too. I want to rest."

With that, he lay back on the bed, not wanting to look at Cheryl again.
