In reality, Lauren was suffering from excessive buildup of body toxins that his body could not remove.

"Move aside, Kat. Let me have a look."

Frank came over and took Lauren's hand in his, infusing his pure vigor into his body to examine his physical condition.

Seeing that, Kat quickly backed away in fear of affecting Frank, while Lauren leveled a quizzical look between Kat and Kali. "Who is this man?" "Oh, him..."

Kat smiled, wiping away her tears. "He's Master Lawrence, my mentor. He's really amazing he can cure some minor illness like yours in an instant!" "Hehe..." Lauren smiled exasperatedly in turn and turned toward Frank.

"Sir, you don't have to bother... I know my body-I'm not going to last more than a few days."

Even as he spoke, Lauren kept smiling, his expression serene. "I was just wondering how I could see Kat one last time... and here she is today." Turning toward Kat, he chuckled. "I'm satisfied now."

"Where are your parents? Haven't they visited?" Kat sobbed, wiping her tears as even she could see that Lauren was so weak that he could die just then. "They're..."

Lauren shook his head, smiling feebly. "They are abroad with my brother. He started a company, and I heard they're making a lot of money. But they're busy so they couldn't make it back." "What?!"

Kat was furious-she never had high expectations of Lauren's parents, but it turned out that they were enjoying themselves abroad while their son was in this state?! Did they even care?! While she appeared livid, Lauren sighed. "Oh, don't blame them, Kat. I'm already grateful they raised me... the only regret I have now is that I'll be dragging Kali's name through the mud when I die..." With that, Lauren trailed off, his lips twitching but no words were leaving his mouth.

Seeing that, Kat exclaimed in shock, "That's enough! Don't talk, Lauren. Just wait for Master Lawrence to treat you. You'd definitely feel better!"

Then, turning impatient toward Frank, she asked, "How is he, Master Lawrence?!"

For the first time in Kat's memory, she saw that Frank appeared troubled, even dismayed. "Kat, he "

"He can't be saved?!"

"No."

Frank stood up, giving Kat a tired look. "One of his kidneys has been taken away. He has one left, but it's shutting down due to infection, so he can't clear his body of any toxins."

He turned, leveling a hostile glare at Kali. "Can you explain what happened to Lauren here?"

"H-He's..."

Kali was ready to explain despite Lauren shooting her pleading looks, when the door behind them was kicked open.

"Tut, tut. What's this? How did two rats manage to sneak into our grand mansion?"
