Approximately 50 years ago—

Gerald had approached a door where a doctor stood nearby, he looks up from his clipboard and noticed the Dr and had a remorseful look

Gerald: *concerned* Is-Is she going to be okay?

Doctor: I'm afraid not... her condition is worsening and there is little to no time left.

Gerald sighed sadly as he had a pleading look on his face

Gerald: May I see her?.

The doctor didn't respond, only giving a small nod, Gerald entered where he saw Maria laying on the hospital bed, she was sleeping as her heart monitor beeps steadily, he sadly approached and grabs her hand gently and caresses it as tears fall down, three more footsteps approached with heavy steps, one much lighter than the other. Gerald looked behind at the door where he saw his brother and his wife, Tessa standing right next to them with a sad look

James: Go and say what you must.

James ushered Tessa with a slight push, his voice had a tone of no care as Louisa only fanned herself with the fan, Tessa slowly approached as Maria slightly looked up

Maria: T-Tessa?

She groaned out in a whisper as Tessa slightly sobs

Tessa: I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

Tessa replied with a shaky tone as Maria smiles slightly

Maria: Don't be, this isn't your fault.

Maria coughs as Gerald clutches her hand tighter, worried for her health, she looks over at her concerned Grandfather

James: Can we hurry this up? I have an important business meeting in approximately 25 minutes.

James ushered his daughter as Gerald glared at the posh man, he gives Maria and Tessa a gentle look as he lets go of her hand, with a small smile he leaves before glaring at his younger brother and his wife, he closes the door quietly and glared at him

Gerald: What is your problem? Your niece is dying in there and you couldn't give a single damn?

Gerald laced with venom in his voice as the duo only stare at him with utter shock

Louisa: Watch your tone, Mr.

She glared as James signalled her to stop

James: Unfortunately my dear brother, I have places to be and stuff to do for JCJensen, I cannot waste time with family matters.

Gerald slapped his younger brothers face with caused the Louisa to gasp, James meanwhile felt his face where he was slapped

Gerald: How could you say that? We need to be here for Maria, she's dying in there! For Christ sakes, when will you pull your head out of your ass and start caring for others rather than yourself?

Gerald asked as James stood up straight once again and only gave a slight glare at his older brother, he then fixed his shirt and opened the door to the room

James: We are leaving.

He told the girl who looked like she didn't want to leave her cousin

James: I said we are leaving. Now!

James snapped at her which made Tessa flinch as she quickly got up and said a small goodbye to Maria who drifted into unconsciousness, Louisa then grabbed Tessa's arm and dragged her away as James and Gerald glare at each other, with a simple huff, James turned around and left, leaving Gerald behind, his glare kept on the man as he walked away, he looks back at Maria's room with a softer gaze, he then sighs
