Chapter 445 Chapter 445 Apologize

Arnold appeared, dressed in a simple blue striped hospital gown. His hair was white, his steps unsteady as he leaned heavily on a dragon-engraved cane. His frail figure moved with visible difficulty, his sharp gaze sweeping over the room before finally settling on Melody and Tyrell.

But soon, he steadied himself, gripping his cane tightly and continuing toward Melody.

Each step was a visible struggle for the elderly man, his body weak and frail.
