Chapter 1308 What Happens After Death Sadie jumped out of the car, ignoring the kids, and dashed straight into the yard.
Seeing Hubert looking so frail, tears filled her eyes. She ran over, squatted down in front of him, grabbed his hand, and choked out, "Hubert, I'm here, I'm here." Hubert's lips curled up a bit. His weak hand gripped Sadie's tightly, like he wanted to say something but just couldn't.

"Kids," Hubert murmured, reaching out to them.
Annika and Arya quickly guided the kids over. The six of them surrounded Hubert, gently calling, "Dr. Henry, Dr. Henry." Mary sobbed, "Dr. Henry, you gotta get better soon and buycandy." Mia choked up, "Dr. Henry, you said you'd teachmedicine. You can't break your promise." Nathan cried quietly, "Dr. Henry, you said you'd taketo the mountains to catch little animals. Did you forget?" Noah said, trembling, "Dr. Henry, weren't you gonna see my little invention? I brought it." Emma and Donna whimpered softly, "Dr. Henry, you're a liar. You said you'd help us find Daddy. You don't keep your promises..." The kids cried sadly but tried hard to hold back, not wanting to disturb Hubert.
Sadie had promised not to cry, but she couldn't hold back her tears.
Hubert held their little hands, squinting at their cute faces, and slowly closed his eyes.
Sadie cried out, "Hubert, Hubert!" The kids called out, "Dr. Henry!" Percy and Paula cried out, "Mr. Henry!" The yard was filled with cries, and the men in black outside all bowed their heads in silent mourning.

He didn't think he could find Riley anytsoon. Even if he did, Riley was Tristan's friend and, naturally, his enemy. How could he expect Riley to save him? So, this last glimmer of hope wasn't really hope at all.
Andrew watched Hubert die with his own eyes and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He had also thought about the things Micah considered. He had held onto a sliver of hope, thinking Hubert could at least write out a treatment plan before he passed, but he hadn't finished it. Andrew now felt very sad. They had been searching for Riley for half a year with no news. Even if they found him, it would be hard to persuade Riley to treat Micah. But even if the hope was slim, they couldn't give up.
The breakfast on the table had gone cold, and a bunch of yellow wildflowers swayed in the wind, giving off a faint fragrance.
The sunlight was beautiful, shining on Hubert's kind face, making him look exceptionally peaceful and serene.
