?Chapter 484:


    The butler clenched his fist tightly, struggling to contain his tears. “The family doctor is already on his way.”


    Katelyn suppressed her sadness, her teeth clenched. “Tell him to hurry. We need him as quickly as possible. Maybe Earl Poulos still has a chance.”


    Though she voiced hope, Katelyn knew in her heart that Earl Poulos’ condition was beyond recovery. Even his rare moments of rity were brief shes before the inevitable end.


    She kept everything close to her heart but held onto a fragile thread of hope. What if Earl Poulos could make it?


    Tears welling in his eyes, the butler gave a heavy nod before rushing off.


    Earl Poulos, however, smiled and gently shook his head. Weak as he was, his eyes radiated warmth. “I know my condition. Please, don’t waste any more time on this.”


    “But you must survive. Without you, I’ll be alone in the world again,” Katelyn said, her voice trembling.


    As she spoke, a tear slipped down her cheek. She was not one to cry. Even when betrayed by both her parents and her husband in the past, she had remained tearless.


    But now, her tears flowed freely. She hoped fervently for a miracle for Earl Poulos. All she could think was that if miracles existed, she wished one for him.


    Katelyn’s grief deeply affected Jaxen and Vincent.


    Jaxen covered his mouth, tears rolling down his cheeks. “Why do I feel like crying just by seeing this?”


    When someone is consumed by genuine despair, it resonates deeply, spreading a palpable aura of grief.

    Vincent’s eyes softened as he watched Katelyn’s trembling form. His fists clenched in silent support.


    This was the first time he had seen Katelyn cry, and he silently hoped it would be thest.


    Katelyn cried quietly, her small shoulders trembling, making her seem incredibly vulnerable.


    “I also wished I could stay and be your family, but it’s a wish that can’te true.” These words were followed by a violent cough from Earl Poulos.


    His breathing became shallow andbored, as though some invisible force was choking him. Katelyn quickly patted his back, her concern evident. “Breathe. Just breathe!”


    Vincent reached for a ss of water, but Earl Poulos was too weak to take even a sip.


    With each passing moment, Katelyn’s eyes grew redder. Earl Poulos’ time was running out.


    Eventually, his coughing subsided, and he began to give his final instructions. “Remember the file bag I gave you earlier? After I die, hold a press conference and make its contents public. My butler knows what to do and will assist you.”


    Katelyn was taken aback. She still didn’t know what was in the file bag.


    But Earl Poulos’ tone was grave and serious. Katelyn couldn’t resist asking, “What exactly is in that file bag?”


    Earl Poulos shook his head, avoiding a direct answer, and continued with his instructions.<fnd956> Fresh chapters posted on ?ovelFind</fnd956>


    “Just remember, the document must be opened in front of all the media. Once its contents are revealed, you may face danger. But don’t worry; I’ve already arranged protection for you.”


    The contents of the file bag seemed incredibly important, but why had he entrusted something so vital to Katelyn?


    This question also lingered in Vincent’s mind, especially considering the strange way Earl Poulos had treated Katelyn from the start. His eagerness to take Katelyn in as his own daughter was unsettling. Could it be that she resembled someone from his family?


    Katelyn didn’t press further. With resolute determination, she said, “Don’t worry. I’ll protect that document with my life.”


    Hearing this, Earl Poulos seemed to rx. “In that case, I can pass peacefully. It’s just a shame I won’t get to see my son again before I go.”


    Though his words were soft, they carried the deep love of a father for his child.


    Just then, the door burst open, and Samuel rushed in with a group of people.
