Chapter 757: Chapter 757



Officer Miller put the picture frame down in his hand when he saw Boyce. He walked over to Boyce and said, “Come over here and have a seat.” He pulled Boyce to sit on the couch.

“I’ve retired.” said Officer Miller.

Boyce looked at him for a long time and remained silent.

He knew Officer Miller was very sad to leave the job. He loved his job and now he was retiring early, so he must be very upset.

“Officer Miller, as a matter of fact…”

Officer Miller waved his hand to indicate Boyce to stop his words. His mind was made up and he had nothing to regret.

“I have recommended you to replace my position, but the superiors will also have to vet the right people first. You should try to have a good performance.”

Officer Miller looked around the office, “I actually feel a little reluctant to leave here. It’s not that I feel reluctant to leave this post. It’s just that I feel reluctant to leave this place. I love it here after working here for so long.”

Boyce looked down and didn’t know what words he could say to comfort him.

“Hey, let’s talk about other things. Forget all the unpleasant things before this. After all, I’m still your boss today.” Officer Miller patted Boyce’s shoulder.

Boyce nodded, “I didn’t take it personally.”

“I trust you. It’s all my fault for causing this accident.” Officer Miller looked remorseful as he said in a melancholy tone.

Boyce said nothing, but merely listened in silence.

“You can get on with your work first. I have finished gathering my things and am ready to go.” Officer Miller stood up. Boyce also followed him to stand up, “I’ll see you out.”

Officer Miller smiled and said, “Good. I don’t regret having you as a subordinate.”

gⱯlnσν𝓮ℓs․cøm, your destination for tales Boyce went to see Officer Miller off and as they left the police station, many fellow officers had come up to greet Officer Miller. They said they remembered him as their boss and were saddened by his early retirement.

When they were outside, Officer Miller asked them not to fire him and returned alone.

Regardless of what had happened before, they all felt sad and reluctant when Officer Miller left. They were fond of him after having been his subordinates for so long.

Boyce stood at the door as he dismissed Officer Miller. He, too, was feeling very upset.

“Now that Officer Miller is gone, it’s time for Boyce to become the officer.” Someone said.

Boyce said, “Go to work.”

“Officer Shawn.” The person joked.

Boyce was immediately angry, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

He thought they shouldn’t make that joke as it wasn’t good when someone heard it.

The person smiled.

When it was time for the meeting, the crowd dispersed. Those who had to attend the meeting headed for the conference room.

In the evening, Boyce went to take Elizabeth to the hospital when he finished his work.

At the time, the doctor was doing a check-up, so Boyce did not push the lady into the room, but waited outside.

Elizabeth didn’t believe it when she heard Boyce say that Armand had been in a car accident. She thought Armand had done it on purpose.

Because she couldn’t accept the fact that Theresa couldn’t have children.

Now that she got to the hospital. She felt very uneasy because she feared that Armand had really had a car accident.

After a while, the door to the examination room opened and Armand pushed his way out, followed by Theresa. When Theresa saw that Boyce had brought Elizabeth in, she was stunned for a moment. Then she regained consciousness and followed the medical staff.

Elizabeth was shaking unconsciously. She stared at the person lying on the bed and being pushed. Soon she saw the face of the person lying in the hospital bed. It was her grandson, Armand.

“Armand…”

Boyce pushed Elizabeth, who was agitated.

She grabbed Armand’s hand, “Armand, wake up please.”

“Don’t shake the patient’s hand.” The doctor stopped his behavior, “The patient has injured his head and it is not appropriate to shake his body.”

The doctor immediately withdrew her hand because she was afraid of causing another injury to Armand.

However, she was very frightened because Armand’s injury was severe.

“Doctor, how is my grandson’s injury?” Elizabeth cried until her eyes were red.

“It’s not life-threatening, but I’m not sure when he will wake up.” Said the doctor.

“The doctor is not sure when he will wake up?

Elizabeth was so anxious that she said in a rambling tone, “He…he will wake up, won’t he?”.

She thought that many people were not able to wake up again and remained in a vegetative state after suffering an accident.

At the thought, he panicked and his face turned pale.

The doctor placed his glasses on his nose and said with a very unnatural expression, “It depends.”

Elizabeth’s body wobbled and she almost fainted.

Boyce immediately hugged her, “But the doctor said there is still hope for her to wake up.”

Elizabeth wiped the tears from her face and said, “It’s all my fault. It’s my fault.”

In the last few days, they argued every time they met and argued with each other. They didn’t have a proper talk. She knew that Armand liked Theresa and still disagreed with their relationship.

She thought he must be in a bad mood to drink and drive and this caused the car accident.

“Armand. I’m wrong. Wake up quickly.” Elizabeth cried on the side of the bed.

Theresa looked at Boyce and whispered, “Why did you bring Mrs. Bernie here?”

Boyce said, “We can’t keep this from her. She’s going to have to know someday.”

“It’s best to send the patient to the ward first.” Said the doctor as he thought they were blocking the way there.

Armand was forwarded to the ward and Elizabeth followed them.

She was heartbroken to see her grandson in an unconscious state and looking pale.

She held his hand and cried again.

“Armand, please wake up, why are you leaving me in such fear of losing you when I am so old?” Elizabeth was so distraught that she didn’t give the impression of her usual self. It was truly a shock to her to see Armand’s current situation.

Theresa poured Elizabeth a glass of water, “Drink some water.” Elizabeth lifted her head and gave Theresa a look.
