"Quick, push me over!" Woolf not only waved his hand, but he also ordered the nurse behind him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Woolf. Your body is not doing well. For your health, please calm down for a while before we meet again," the nurse said softly, but her hands were already moving.
He pushed Woolf and turned around to leave.
Even Starbeck was stunned.
He did not expect this to happen.
Woolf struggled even harder, his expression ferocious. "I'm fine! Push me over! Do you hear me? You … "
His voice stopped abruptly, because the wheelchair detected his heartbeat and automatically gave him a sedative.
The nurse behind him still had her standard smile, but she seemed to sigh and said, "Please don't make it difficult for me. We have our own rules, and it's all for your health."
She said softly, but she had already pushed Woolf away.
On the other side, a staff member walked towards Starbeck.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Woolf's body is not doing well. Please wait for a while. Also, please do not make Mr. Woolf too agitated, or the meeting will be terminated at any time." The staff member's tone was polite, but it was obviously formal.
Starbeck could only nod.
But he could not help but ask, "Is it always like this here? I mean, like just now, ignoring Mr. Woolf's will. "
This was different from what he imagined a sanatorium to be.
After all, this was a place that many people dreamed of.
It had the same environment as before, with meticulous care.
Only those in high positions had the right to spend their old age here.
But just now, when he saw Woolf's condition, as an old man, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Please trust us." The staff member's expression did not change. "We are doing this for Mr. Woolf's sake. His body is already very weak. Even if he doesn't care about his body, it is our responsibility to take care of him."
Although he did not directly say that he was ignoring Woolf's will, the meaning behind his words was obvious.
In their hearts.
Woolf's will was not as strong as his body.
Starbeck seemed to understand why the old leader had been so excited when he had received his call.
In the end, Starbeck didn't have to wait for long before meeting Rulf.
Woolf was no longer in a wheelchair. Instead, he was lying on a hospital bed. Outside the window, the artificial sunlight was quite bright.
Woolf's expression became much calmer.
It was obvious that he was under the influence of some kind of drug.
"I'm really sorry for letting you see this side of me." Woolf said. Then, his gaze suddenly landed on Dell, who was behind Starbeck, and he seemed surprised.
"This is my daughter, Adele." Stanbeck noticed his gaze and introduced her.
"Daughter?" Woolf suddenly understood and looked at Starbeck with obvious envy. "So that's how it is. You have a daughter, but isn't this too cruel to her?"
"…" Starbeck looked ashamed, but he had nothing to say.
"I don't think so, sir." Dell suddenly mustered up her courage and said, "I'm very glad that I was able to come to this world."
"Huh?" Woolf was even more surprised.
Obviously, this was different from what they knew.
Many young people, as they grew older, would more or less have some resentment.
Originally, their fathers and ancestors had destroyed their world.
However, Woolf didn't say anything in the end.
From his point of view, this might be because Dell was still young. When she grew older, she wouldn't think so.
But …
He was still envious.
"Looks like your old age will be much better than mine." Woolf's emotions were under the influence of the tranquilizer, but his eyes were obviously confused. "I also regret not having a child back then."
"…" Starbeck also didn't know how to answer.
He originally thought that with this old leader's status, he would definitely be able to live a good life.
But what happened just now made him doubt it.
"You saw it too." Woolf seemed to know what Starbeck was thinking. He sighed and said, "This sanatorium is the best in the world. All the services and facilities are top notch, but … I don't feel happy here at all. I feel very lonely, very empty. Here, I can't even have emotions."
When he said this, Woolf's expression was still calm.
But it was obvious.
This was not the attitude he should have.
The people here didn't care at all. They couldn't care less about his feelings. They only cared about their own income. Plus, the drug could take care of everything.
"Indeed …" Starbeck sighed. He looked at Woolf with a hint of relief. "I'm glad that I have Dell's company. Although this is not fair to her, but when one gets old, they always hope to have family by their side."
"So, you're here to show off to me?" Woolf's smile became bitter.
Although he couldn't feel any emotions like jealousy or sadness, it was because of this that he felt even more bitter.
This world was really disgusting.
"Of course not!" Starbeck finally remembered why he came here. He took a deep breath and said with an excited and serious expression, "I've completed it!"
"What?" Woolf was stunned.
"I've completed the original project, the spaceship's power system! With it, we can escape from this planet that is heading towards death! We can build a new human city in outer space! We can have our own future! "Starbeck's tone became even more excited.
He took out a stack of blueprints from the bag he brought. This was the result of his and Dell's hard work over the past few days.
Although this blueprint wasn't developed by him.
But Reid and Gu Yan's intention was to hide the existence of the Humanity Defender Association and let Starbeck take this stack of blueprints to test the reaction of the world's political authorities.
Therefore, even though Starbeck felt a little ashamed, he could only take the "credit" for the time being.
"You've completed it?" Woolf was obviously shocked. Even with the tranquilizer, it couldn't completely suppress his emotions.
It was hard to imagine.
"How is this possible? By yourself? "
