Lizzie nodded so hard her tears spilled over.
“I will! | promise. I'll study hard—I won't disappoint you.”
Her university major happened to be in management, something Allan had likely planned for all along.
Even so, as long as his health had allowed, he had never pressured her to take on responsibilities at the
company. He had wanted her to enjoy her youth, free from stress.
“Rachel,” Allan said as he reached for her hand, then gently placed it over Lizzie's. “She’s going to need your
support in the future.”
“Of course,” Rachel responded without hesitation.
Initially, after leaving the hospital, Rachel had planned to head straight to the company to hand over her work to
Samira so she could dedicate all her tto Allan.
But now, she realized that being by his side wasn’t enough. She needed to learn as much as she could so she
could support Lizzie when the tcame.

train you personally. And Lizzie, you can work under Alban. He'll guide you through everything you need to know.

The three of them exchanged glances before nodding in agreement. But they all had one condition—no
overworking. Rest was non-negotiable. Allan wasn’t allowed to push himself a second more than necessary.
Allan nodded with an easy smile.
Maybe luck was on his side—over the next month, the tremors in his hand were infrequent and didn’t seem to
worsen.
Rachel and Lizzie threw themselves into their work, soaking up every bit of knowledge they could.
Occasionally, Allan would give them the stasks, turning their training into a friendly competition to keep
things engaging.
Tmoved swiftly, and before they knew it, another month had slipped away. The first real sign of decline came
when Allan tried to peel an apple for Rachel. His fingers stiffened, and the knife slipped, slicing the tip of his
finger.
A drop of blood welled up and dripped onto the apple, dark red against the pale flesh—like wine spilled into a
glass.

Rachel's stomach twisted at the sight; something about it was unbearably cruel. She couldn’t bring herself to
look.
“Maybe I've just been overworking myself lately,” Allan said lightly, nudging the apple toward her, his right hand
subtly trembling beneath the table.
