The middle-aged man sighed as he continued. "You know that he's put under conservative treatment, and he's taking his prescriptions as instructed. But you know all it does is delay the inevitable... He won't be able to hold it together eventually."

He was choking with tears but quickly calmed down thanks to resilience built over four decades. In fact, he almost looked like he was just speaking about the weather, and he showed no hint of misery at all.

"Right. We can't really pin our hopes on that..." Laura sighed as well.

Troy stepped up right then, intent on sabotaging Frank as he smiled. "But don't worry I've brought you a miracle worker. He'd definitely cure your father!"

"A miracle worker?"

The middle-aged man frowned. "You're kidding. The only way to save my dad is with a transplant."
