Chapter 861 Illusion
Jeffery was quiet.
When it came to people he couldn't forget, there was only one person in his heart: Pearl.
Unfortunately, by the time he found Pearl, she had already married Oscar and had his child. Later, news came that Oscar had died, and Pearl loved Oscar deeply.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get into Pearl's heart.
Jeffery thought of Pearl, wishing her happiness and joy.
But his own loneliness was so painful.
He struggled and suffered.
However, Jeffery quickly stopped his thoughts. "Have you finished all your work? Now you have time to worry about my personal affairs?"
The assistant immediately fell silent. "I wouldn't dare."
Jeffery said calmly, "Go do your job. Don't waste time on meaningless things."
"Yes, sir."
The assistant responded and quickly left.
A few days later.
Jimena and Louis's embryos were successfully cultivated.
Everything went according to plan, and they made two.
Jimena was very satisfied because this meant that she and Louis finally had their own child. Jimena and Louis were now immersed in joy.
Pearl supported RavenWing. "Dad, now that we have good news, you must take care of yourself. Louis and I are counting on you to help with the baby."
Pearl felt a sudden pang of sadness.
RavenWing had been by her side during his final days, helping with the children, giving her and Oscar more time to relax.
He also provided financial support.
RavenWing even took care of all the household chores, especially making sure the children had all the toys they needed.
Pearl suddenly felt that the time left for them was too short.
RavenWing also wished he could live one more day.
But fate was cruel, and he couldn't fight it.
"My mindset is good. Seeing you all happy makes me very satisfied," RavenWing said, patting Pearl's hand.
He had once wanted to make up for Pearl, feeling that she had suffered and that he had almost killed her. But later, he saw that Pearl had loving adoptive parents.
She had a husband who loved her deeply.
Her child was healthy, and she had a daughter.
Louis, on the other hand, had been independent since he was young. Now, as the new leader of the Eldorians, he was capable and had a loving wife.
They even succeeded with IVF.
However, he still had some concerns and wanted to give them instructions.
He first found Oscar.
Oscar noticed his grim expression hadn't improved, and he felt regretful.
Despite RavenWing's past misdeeds, he was very successful in medicine. After RavenWing changed, the Eldorians also moved towards a better life.
"Oscar, I didn't like you before, but later, when I found out Pearl loved you and had your child..."
"Pearl has suffered a lot. I hope you treat her well in the future. Otherwise, I won't rest in peace!"
Two men who had experienced life and death didn't need to say things too bluntly.
Oscar nodded in agreement. "I know. Dad, you've lived in Willow Creek for so long, always by our side. You should know what kind of person I am. I love Pearl. We were apart for so long, and now that she's finally with me, I will never let her go."
Oscar loved Pearl more than his own life.
He had a son and a daughter with her, and his life's mission was to protect and love his wife and kids.
RavenWing noticed Oscar's determined expression. He knew what kind of man Oscar was and had seen firsthand how well he treated Pearl.
But he also realized his time was running out, so he kept reminding them.
RavenWing had gained and lost everything, enjoyed life, but the only thing he couldn't let go of was his children.
He didn't smoke or drink.
Now that his life was being taken away, RavenWing felt it was punishment for his past misdeeds.
RavenWing talked to Oscar for a long time, and Oscar patiently listened, nodding in agreement.
RavenWing knew Louis would handle everything well, but he still gave him instructions. "Don't be stubborn. The debts of the father are repaid by the son. I've given my remaining time to Pearl, but the Eldorians need you to manage them. My only hope is that you can make up for my mistakes and make the Eldorians better."
"Jimena is a good girl. Don't argue with her. She's by your side, and you should live well together. My only regret is that I won't be able to help you with the children."
"It's a pity I missed Christopher's growth and almost hurt Pearl and Christopher. As for Kevin, after I die, give him a quick end."
RavenWing gave Louis many instructions, including about Kevin, and even thought about many past events.
It seemed like his life flashed before his eyes like a movie.
"Those things are in the past. We're looking to the future now. Don't think too much. The more you dwell on something, the harder it is to move past it."
Louis didn't want RavenWing to continue thinking about it, also fearing he might suddenly pass away.
"I know. I just thought of these things suddenly. Tomorrow, I want to go out and see the sights. You and Pearl come with me. Let's take a family photo when we see some beautiful scenery."
RavenWing felt that if something needed to be done, it should be done without regrets.
Since RavenWing mentioned taking a family photo, Louis suggested, "Then Jimena, Oscar, and the kids should come too. That way, we'll have a keepsake."
"Alright."
So, they set off together.
They took two photos, one with Pearl, Louis, and RavenWing.
And another with everyone together. Passing by a church, Pearl decided to pray. She prayed sincerely.
She only asked for one thing: for her family to be healthy and safe, and for her father to live a little longer.
They went down the mountain and had dinner at a restaurant. The whole family was very happy, and RavenWing had an unusually good appetite.
Pearl was worried he might eat too much and was about to stop him when Oscar gave her a look.
RavenWing saw it and chuckled softly. "Don't worry. I know my body. At my age, I wouldn't be careless."
"I'm just worried about you."
Pearl was genuinely afraid. After dinner, they went to the beach, but RavenWing stared at the sunset in a daze.
When Pearl approached him, he suddenly remembered a woman from many years ago, with delicate features, walking towards him step by step.
"Do I look good today?"
"Beautiful."
RavenWing murmured, and Pearl, who had walked up to him, heard it and realized that RavenWing was having a hallucination.
