Chapter 527


    All the guests had arrived, the host was hyping up the crowd on stage, then invited Mr. and Mrs. Panter


    to give a speech.


    The moment Mr. Panter finished his speech, the whole ce went bonkers with apuse.


    He was a far cry from the pitiful figure he wasst night, begging for sympathy from Ms. Archer. He was


    all pepped up now, as if nothing had happened the night before.


    “As the father of the groom, I want to take this opportunity to wish my son and his bride all the


    happiness in the world. I hope you two stick together through thick and thin, always love each other,


    and live happily ever after!”


    A thunderous apuse broke out again, everyone’s faces were filled with smiles and blessings.


    Zachary and Ynda exchanged a look, their eyes brimming with affection.


    “I’d also like to thank the Murphy family for raising a smart and beautiful daughter. I’m proud that my


    son is marrying such a wonderful woman and I sincerely hope that our two families can get along like a


    house on fire!”


    Again, the crowd pped. Mr. Panter handed over the mic to Mrs. Panter, who was all smiles and


    grace.


    To celebrate this joyous asion and to thank all of you for taking time out of your busy schedule to


    attend our engagement party, we’ve prepared some food and drinks. Please enjoy and forgive us if


    there is anyck of hospitality.”


    The moment Mrs. Panter finished her speech, the grand hall was filled with apuse once again.


    Waiters started to serve the food. There were sixty–six tables, ten people per table, over six hundred

    people in total.


    “Mr. and Mrs. Panter, please take your seats.”


    “No, no, you take it first.”


    “We’re all family here, no need to be so formal.”


    Both sets of parents courteously offered each other seats and raised their sses once seated.


    On stage, a clown kicked off the entertainment and had everyone in stitches.


    On the other side.


    A frail hand reached out slowly towards Arabe, gently tugged at her dress, managed a weak smile,


    and softly said, “Don’t cry, sweetie.”


    Before the olddy couldfort her, Arabe’s tears had already started to stream down her face.


    Nobody knew better than Arabe the state of the olddy’s health. It was a miracle that the olddy


    could even talk to her.


    Back in the triangr zone, Arabe never shed a tear despite her injuries. But now, tears were


    pouring out like a broken string of pearls, unstoppable. Grace, lying on the operation table, managed to


    muster a weak but kind smile, “I just dreamed of your grandpa. He said it’s time, he hase to take


    me.”


    Arabe shook her head, her teary eyes were clear but were filled with sorrow, unable to ept the


    reality.


    “Look, your grandpa is standing there, smiling at me.”


    Even in her weakened state, Grace tried her best tofort Arabe.


    “My dear, it’s not your fault. It’s my body that’s failing me. You’re an excellent doctor, you’ve pulled me


    back from the brink of death several times. This time, my body just can’t take it anymore.”


    She was supposed to have died years ago, but thanks to Arabe’s medical skills, she managed to live


    longer.


    And for that, she was content.


    Wiping away her tears, Arabe stayed by the olddy’s side, her voice choked up but gentle,


    “Grandma, don’t speak for now. I’ll try something else.”
