Chapter 473 Kind Died

As Pork finished speaking, a cacophony of alarms echoed throughout the room; the monitorsconnected to Kind began blaring their loud warning tones. The figures on the screens that had juststarted to rise plummeted back to zero. Everyone present was shocked.

"What... what happened? He was alive just a moment ago!" A look of panic crossed Down's face.Having invited Professor John, he felt a measure of responsibility if Kind's condition worsened onhis watch.

Professor John stood, dumbfounded, staring at the digital readout. His large blue eyes flitted backand forth between the screens and Kind in disbelief. "No, this can’t be! We had just revived him;how could he suddenly die? Those numbers were rising just a second ago. Why did they all drop tozero?"

"Professor John, save him, please!" Avery urged frantically.

"Quickly! Revive the patient, give him a shock!" The professor was clearly in a state of panic.

Defibrillation is modern medicine's last-ditch effort to resuscitate a patient, using electric shocks tojolt the heart back into beating. Whether this method can revive a patient is mostly a matter of luck.Moreover, even if it does work, the electrical assault can significantly impact the patient's physicalcondition.

Unable to restrain himself further, Daniel chimed in, "Defibrillation won't bring him back. Thepatient's body is already too weak; more shocks will only overtax it. This next shock might eventrigger a complete physical collapse."

"Country boy, keep quiet! Stop spouting your nonsense," Pork roared at Daniel.

"Brother-in-law, I'm not talking nonsense; I'm telling the truth," Daniel insisted, wanting to explainfurther. However, Avery shot him a warning look.

"Shut up!" she thundered.

While Daniel would typically disregard Pork's words, Avery's command carried sufficient weight tocompel his silence. Even if his mother-in-law wasn’t his biological mother, her maternal authorityinstilled fear within him. Every bit as fearful of her as anyone could be, Daniel complied when sheraised her voice.

Content with silencing Daniel, Avery's mood remained grim. The state of her father was precarious,to say the least, and the prospect of his passing weighed heavily on her heart. In recent years, herfather's health had been in constant decline, and though he had managed to hold on, Avery hadhoped he would at least make it to his eightieth birthday, just days away.

Meanwhile, at Kind's bedside, Professor John had administered several electric shocks. There wasa brief spike on the monitors after the first couple of shocks, but the numbers soon flatlined again.After multiple attempts, even with increased voltage and frequency, there was no effect. The screensteadied into a continuous line.

Kind was dead.
