Chapter 604: Mr. Patrick is Dying

At the daycare door, Justin and Joe were eyeballing this tall dude who kinda looked like Henry.

Justin cocked his head. "You say you're my uncle?"

Ian squatted down to Justin's level and grinned. "Yep, I'm here on behalf of Mr. Patrick."

He pulled out a gift.

Justin glanced at the gift and shook his head. "Mom says people who haven't done anything real don't deserve rewards or special treatment."

Ian chuckled. "I'm not a stranger; I'm Henry's brother."

"His brother?" Justin asked, eyebrows raised.

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"Even so, I can't go with you 'cause my dad would be mad." Justin shook his head. He wasn't about to go off with just anyone.

"Alright, I get it. I wasn't planning to take you alone. Your great-grandpa misses you. He's not doing well and is at Capital Hospital getting ready for surgery. He wants to see you before the operation."

Mr. Patrick's heart was failing, and at his age, even a heart transplant wouldn't help. He was ready to give up and didn't want to fight anymore.

He wanted to see Justin.

Justin checked the time on his little watch. "I'll go with Dad when he comes."

Ian was taken aback by Justin's caution and nodded with a smile.

"You look sick too," Justin noticed Ian's pale face and asked.

Ian nodded. "Yeah, it's probably the Patrick family's bad genes. Mr. Patrick has congenital heart disease, and so do I."

Henry's dad also died of a heart attack. Henry was the only one in the Patrick family born completely healthy.

That's why Mr. Patrick favored Henry, thinking he was the lucky one who could change the family's genes.

That's why Mr. Patrick was so eager for Henry to get married and have kids.
