Chapter 703 A Breath Away

• The janitor dared not take Nathaniel's watch, abiding by East Saeville Nursing Home's strict rule against accepting personal items from guests. Intimidated by the imposing man before him, the janitor quickly handed over his cheap cigarettes and even helped light one for Nathaniel.
• "Sir, there's no hurdle too high to overcome. It would be best if you took it easy," the janitor advised, directing Nathaniel to a designated smoking area for family members.
• Taking the cigarette, Nathaniel headed to the smoking zone and lit up, inhaling deeply. The harsh taste of the low-quality tobacco made his throat ache, and he couldn't help but cough violently. The coughing fit was so intense that it felt like his organs were about to burst forth from his throat.
