Chapter 600

At that, Judy broke down again.
“I can’t bear to let him go, but I can’t bear to see him suffer either. I
Yvonne hugged her mother, her own face streaked with tears.
“Dad told me the same thing. He made me promise.”
Hearing this, Jonas and the rest of his family began to cry and sigh with her.
Donald had always been a man who understood life. The thing he valued most was dignity. He would never want to live as a vegetable, suffering until he withered away. “It’s just… Dad’s side
“Your father agreed, but he can’t bring himself to watch Donald go. That’s why he didn’t come today.”
“Then… let’s respect Donald’s wishes.”
The doctor stood nearby. After repeatedly confirming their consent, he prepared to remove the oxygen mask.
“Who said all the family agrees? I don’t agree!” Penelope strode into the room.
She looked desperately at Donald, lying on the bed. His eyes were closed, his face pale, his head wrapped tightly in bandages. He looked like an empty shell.
Tears welled in her eyes, but she fought them back and turned to the doctor.
“I do not consent. Please continue to treat him. Use any method you can. As long as there’s a sliver of hope, you must save him!”
The doctor was taken aback. “And you are?”
“I’m his daughter. I believe I have that right.”
“Penelope, you have no right to speak here! Get out, now!” Judy screamed at her. Penelope ignored her and fixed her gaze on the doctor. “If you take such action without my consent as his daughter, I will call the police!”
The doctor certainly didn’t want to be held responsible, so he suggested they discuss it among themselves and quickly left the room.
“Penelope, the Bishop family does not recognize you. You have no right to be here. Leave this instant!” Yvonne pointed at the door, yelling at her.
“I don’t need any of you to recognize me. I am Donald’s daughter. That is a fact, and you can’t deny it.”
“My father never acknowledged you!”
“That’s between him and me. It’s none of your business!”
Penelope moved closer, wanting a better look at Donald, but Yvonne blocked her path, looking ready to fight Penelope wasn’t about to take and shoved her aside,
Yvonne stumbled back, nearly hitting the wall.

Seeing this, Judy’s rage boiled over. She stormed up to Penelope, pointing a finger in her face. “You little tramp! Take a good look at yourself! Who do you think you are to meddle in the Bishop family affairs! I’m warning you one last time, get out, or I’ll-ah!”
Before Judy could finish, Penelope kicked her.
Caught off guard, Judy fell hard to the floor.
“Penelope, you… you’re completely out of control!”
Jonas frowned, about to step in and stop her.
Penelope glared at him. “It’s been less than ten days since his accident. He is still fighting for his life and your all are ready to push him toward death. Do you hate him that much?”
“What are you talking about? I just don’t want Donald to suffer!”
“That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t even give him a chance to survive!”
“You… you think this isn’t painful for us?”
“Regardless, I do not consent.”
Penelope took a deep breath. “If any of you dare to touch his oxygen mask again, I will sue you for murder!”
“Penelope, don’t you think you’re being ridiculous? By what right!” Yvonne snarled.
Penelope stood tall. “By the right that he is my father, and I am his daughter!”
