Chapter 286
During the process of a patient’s self-administered euthanasia, it’s necessary for a court worker and a notary to be present, and the whole thing needed to be recorded on video.
This recording must be handed over to the police afterwards to prove that it was the patient’s own decision to choose euthanasia, and that no one else was involved.
As long as Alberto hadn’t injected himself with the drugs, he could stop this process at any time. But Alberto really had had enough of life, and just before going to his death, a glimmer of light finally flashed in his eyes.
Grace was his reason for living; without her, he couldn’t find a reason to keep going.
His whole life had been a struggle for Grace!
After he’d signed the euthanasia paperwork, he turned on the drip and waited for death.
The whole thing took only four minutes.
If the butler hadn’t given Rosemary a heads-up, and if Rosemary hadn’t rushed over on a private plane, she wouldn’t have been able to see Alberto in those last four minutes.
In the bedroom were a court official, a notary, a family doctor, a nurse, and a servant.
The large, bright bedroom was deathly quiet; everyone looked downcast.
Rosemary didn’t even know how she had managed to walk to Alberto’s bedside; she choked out, "Grandpa Alberto, are you leaving me too?"
