Chapter 559


    During the process of a patient’s self–administered euthanasia, it’s necessary for a court worker and a


    notary to be present, and the whole thing needed to be recorded on video.


    This recording must be handed over to the police afterwards to prove that it was the patient’s own


    decision to choose euthanasia, and that no one else was involved.

    As long as Alberto hadn’t injected himself with the drugs, he can stop this process at any time. But


    Alberto really had had enough of life, and just before going to his death, a glimmer of light finally


    shed in his eyes.


    Grace was his reason for living; without her, he couldn’t find a reason to keep going.


    His whole life had been a struggle for Grace!


    After he’d signed the euthanasia paperwork, he turned on the drip and waited for death.


    The whole thing took only four minutes.


    If the butler hadn’t given Arabe a heads up, and if Arabe hadn’t rushed over on a private ne,


    she wouldn’t have been able to see Alberto in thosest four minutes.


    In the bedroom were a court official, a notary, a family doctor, a nurse, and a servant.


    Therge, bright bedroom was deathly quiet; everyone looked downcast.


    Arabe didn’t even know how she had managed to walk to Alberto’s bedside; she choked out,


    “Grandpa Alberto, are you leaving me too?”


    “Be.” Seeing her, Alberto actually smiled, then looked at Romeo and said, “You’re here too.”


    It must have been the butler who leaked the news.


    “Don’t leave me alone.” Arabe knelt by the bed, feeling utterly heartbroken.


    She knew that to stop this process, Alberto himself had to agree, so she grabbed his hand and


    pleaded, “Grandma has grandpa with her; you going won’t change anything; you might as well stay


    with me.”


    Alberto smiled even more peacefully. “I’ll just watch over her from afar without disturbing her.


    Wherever she is, that’s where I’ll be. That’s all.”


    Arabe knew that with every passing second, his chances of surviving decreased, so she got up to try


    to stop the injection process


    But Alberto grabbed her hand and said, “Be, grant me this one wish.”


    Arabe froze.


    “This is my decision, a decision I’ve thought long and hard about. I don’t want to spend the rest of my


    life in pain and suffering. I want to be free.”


    “There are lots of ways to find peace. I can take you out and about. I can take you to every ce that


    Grandma wanted to go. I can transnt Grandma’s nts into your garden. And aren’t you supposed


    to watch me grow up? See me in my wedding dress.”


    Arabe continued pleading, “Grandma’s biggest regret was not being able to see me in my wedding


    dress. Can you do that for her? Can you see me in my wedding dress?”


    Alberto smiled and shook his head, looking at her lovingly. “There are old friends who can watch you


    grow and witness your wedding. Let me go. You can stop this once, but can you stop it countless


    times?”


    He really wanted to go to another world, even if he could only watch over Grace from afar.


    Arabe held his hand tightly; her eyes were red.


    “Romeo.” Alberto called Romeo’s name: “My granddaughter, I’m leaving her in your hands; if you dare


    to mistreat her in this life, I won’t let you off even if I’m a ghost. She still has a dozen friends; they’ll help


    me teach you a lesson. You must make her happy.”


    Romeo knew that once Alberto made a decision, it was hard to change it.


    He knelt on one knee by the bed, holding Alberto’s other hand, and just said quietly, “This is cruel to


    Be.”
