Chapter 439 The Long-Awaited Father


"He's my dad."

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?

Hearing that hit just as hard as when Ravenna was first diagnosed with stomach cancer.

Everyone, including Alaric, heard what the officer said. What was supposed to be a happy dinner suddenly turned gloomy.

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

Even though Griffon had done some awful things and deserved his fate, hearing this news still stung.

"We're all family here; no need to hide your feelings," Alaric said bluntly. "Griffon's got late-stage lung cancer. Are you gonna get him out?"

Cormac paused, his drink halfway to his mouth. "I don't know."
