Not the Successor to the Throne
Chapter 42. Just Eiger

Waking up late, having a bad breakfast, rushing to the hospital, and being stopped on the road because his car broke down. A couple of husband and wife is like getting a barrage. When his desire is high enough to meet his son.

"Why does bad luck always happen to us today?" asked Jean who was sitting by the road.

"Patience a little!" balthis said as he tried to fix his rental car.

This time it was Balthis who tried to be patient. If he is dizzy, then the impact will be angry at his wife.

"Darling, what's up yet?" ask Jean again.

"Propsy. Wait another 5 or 10 minutes. If it fails, I'll find a cab."

Jean had proposed to take a taxi, but Balthis continued to refuse. He felt uncomfortable using a taxi on the grounds that he would not be able to be free when he wanted to go anywhere.

In fact, the effort to repair the car did not produce anything. Balthis had to contact the hotel to deliver a tow truck to retrieve the striking car.

Lucky in front of him was someone who had just got off the taxi so that the two could immediately ride.

"Ah, we finally got the vehicle as well" said Jean relieved.

"Yes, thank goodness."

When the taxi driver asked him where he was headed, Jean was most enthusiastic about answering.

"Hospital A, sir," replied Jean.

The distance is good. More and more the day. I want to rush to the hospital.

"Are you nervous?" ask Balthis.

"It's very nervous, honey! I want to get Elov's news today."

"Whatever the consequences?"

"Yes, even if Elov really is gone. I don't have a problem. At least take care of it until the DNA test is complete."

Between despair, giving up, and being tired. Jean gave up everything. This was a mistake in the past.

"Are you sorry?" Balthis continued to interrogate him. He did so to unravel the nervousness his wife was feeling right now.

"Very sorry! But, I return it again to our carelessness in the past. We should never have made such a big mistake."

Balthis. The accident that befell him had to exchange the lives of others with his son who had just been born.

"I'm sorry" Balthis concluded.

The taxi had taken him to the front entrance of the hospital. After paying the taxi fare, the two rushed down to head to the receptionist.

They said that there was an appointment with the holder of the medical record. It turned out that they were directed to meet the hospital manager and accompanied by the person he met yesterday.

"Please sit!" the hospital manager's orders.

"Thank you."

Balthis and Jean sat down. An increasingly anxious feeling enveloped the two.

"So, how? Can data on my son be found?"

"Of course, Sir. However, we are not sure if we have not done a direct examination" the manager replied.

"Do whatever comes from my son being found" Jean said.

The medical record staff then explained that 8 or 9 years ago, there were a lot of strange events. However, in the period of 2 years, there were 5 events with an age similar to the person who sought.

The peak of the incident was on one of the people who had a tragic accident, then the family wanted the male internal organs to be donated to his family. After that, the man's body was handed over to the hospital for burial.

Just hearing it was horrified, but from all the explanations about some of those people, DNA tests will be carried out to determine which is the most accurate of all the men in question.

"So, all those people you mean are already tragically dead?" ask Jean.

"Not everything, Madam. Only two, but one of the most tragic. However, according to the rumors, the boy was deliberately run over. It just so happens that we're new employees, but this hospital always keeps newspapers from any year."

The story is terrible. His hope of finding Elov alive seems impossible. Except, out of those five data, there was already no one matching.

"So, when do we know the results of the DNA test?" balthis.

"We need time, sir. Wait at least two weeks to a month. The problem is, everyone in question is gone. So we had to ask the police for permission to dismantle some of the funerals. Without permission, we will get punished for being accused of theft. You better make a report to the police to simplify our process."

It is predictable. It will be very complicated and will take a long time. Jean surrendered. He had already resigned that one of the 5 people in question must be his son.

"Honey, no need to continue. Let's just go home!" persuade Jean. Just imagine it's nauseous.

"We've gone a long way, Jean. I also need to know that, for example, my son is dead, at least know where he's buried."

Jean couldn't resist. The big decision remains with her husband. They had to prepare the answers that would be given to his extended family.

"Good, Sir. We'll make a report on the boy. The details are we will ask the police to investigate him at this hospital" Balthis said.

"Thank you for understanding, sir."

Balthis and Jean. They returned to the inn with mixed feelings.

"Honey, our Elov is gone" he said softly.

"Patience, Jean. Our past mistakes made it all complicated. I'm sorry," replied Balthis. He rested his wife's head on Balthis' chest.

"Then, what's your next plan?"

Deadlocked. Eiger is just another guy. Balthis needs Blerim and David to talk about the next issue.

"Wait for us to go home. I need to talk to my sisters."

The taxi carrying him has now entered the police station courtyard. Balthis and Jean reported what Balthis and the hospital had agreed to.

The police will wait for the right time to do the test. This will draw attention to the story of a ruthless mobster's past. A mobster who lost his son and wife in a tragic accident.

"We need a minimum of a week, sir. Hows it? No problem, right?" ask one of the police officers.

"It's okay. We are patient waiting for the good news" explained Balthis.

The game of life is not over. The descendants of the Willard family were cut off at the hands of Balthis and Jean.

"Then, we wait for the next news, sir," Jean concluded.

They left the police station to return to the inn. All of Willard's children have no next generation.

"We only have Eiger, honey. Hows it? Do you want to make peace with that kid?" ask Jean.

A few hours ago, Balthis had just received word of his failure to kill the Eiger. Now, it seems that God is siding with the child who is not dead. While Jean, she feels lost while away with the Eiger. For decades, only the Eiger had been able to understand him.
