Chapter 439 The Long-Awaited Father

Cormac hated admitting it, but it was the truth.

"Here is the thing, Griffon's been feeling pretty rough in prison lately. After a check-up, they think it's late-stage lung cancer. He probably doesn't have much time left. You should get the paperwork sorted to get him out." Late-stage lung cancer?

"It's alright, everyone, let's keep eating," Cormac said with a smile, not wanting his issues to ruin the mood.
