Life After Prison

Chapter 354
Severin picked up the phone, looked at the caller ID, and saw that Sheila was the one calling him. He could not help but frown
because she was an unusually difficult girl to deal with. Unfortunately, ignoring her call would be unwise because she was the
daughter of Brookbourn Mansion’s leader.
After putting some more thought into it, Severin accepted the call with some reluctance.” Hello, Sheila. Is something the matter?”
he asked as soon as the call connected.
“My handsome Severin! Please come as soon as you can! My dad just vomited blood this afternoon, and now he’s unconscious
on the bed! I don’t know what to do right now!” Sheila’s voice sounded helpless over the phone and she was already choking up.
Severin frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, “But, when I went there this morning, your father kicked me out and
accused me of being a quack with no medical ethics. If I’m honest, I have no intention of treating people who make such remarks
about my ability!” Sheila was horrified to hear that and immediately burst into tears. “Hic...Hic...I’m begging you, please! My
mom died early, and he’s the only family I have left! He might be a little too stubborn sometimes, but he loves my mom very
much, so he never got together with any other women after my mom died. he hasn’t found any other women in the past few
years. Although he does have a good relationship with a few women, he never had children with them! I don’t know what I’m
going to do in the future if he’s gone!”
Sheila was pure at heart and had always been living under Zachariah’s protection. If the Ballards lost Zachariah, Sheila would
feel as if the world had come crumbling down. Severin’s heart softened when he heard that and he said, “Okay, okay. Don’t cry.
I’ll drive over right away. I’ll save your father for your sake!”
“Okay. I’ll wait for you then! You’re the best! I knew you won’t ignore my plea for help. because you’re a good person!” Sheila
said in between sobs.
Severin hung up right away and drove straight to the Ballards’ residence after informing Judith and Maurice.
What was originally a thirty minute journey took Severin only twenty minutes. After parking the car and getting out, he saw Sheila
waiting anxiously at the gate. She was obviously very anxious as she paced back and forth there. As soon as she saw Severin
coming, she immediately ran over and threw herself into Severin’s arms, saying, “You’re finally here! I don’t know what to do
without you!”

Severin smiled awkwardly. “There, there. Let’s head in and talk. Your father can hold out for another two or three days in his
current condition.”
“Two or three days? Does he only have two or three days to live?!” Sheila took two steps back. and covered her mouth in
disbelief, for she was unable to accept that fact.
Severin then realized that she had misunderstood, and explained with a smile, “What I mean by that is, he can still survive for
two or three days even if I didn’t come in time. Now that I’m here, he’ll be fine for sure!”
“Meanie! You scared me out of my wits there!” Sheila pursed her lips, then gently hammered Severin’s chest with her fists. Her
antics made it look as though she and Severin were young
lovers flirting with each other.
