Needing a moment's rest, Anthonio came out from his office. He needed a breath of fresh air. A lot was on his mind that he needed to think about, at the same time. The most important on his list should have been his failing health, but it wasn't.
Ava and her son were tops on his mind. He struggled with the sense of frustration that welled up within him.
He felt cheated.
Alfred's surgery had cost BlueBird millions of dollars, but for Drs Lian's and Wilson's plea for a subsidy, he had determined she'd be paying her full bill if she wanted Alfred alive. Had he insisted on his will, perhaps, Ava would have found a way—just like other patients before her did. Why had he given in to them then?
He looked up and saw Sonia, talking to Lucas, and immediately regretted why he had left his office.
