You should rest more sir, you don't seem to have more time to live... Richard's private doctor said with worried eyes.
I know, you don't need to remind me but I just need to get something done before I leave finally... Richard replied as deep coughs interrupted his words.
The doctor did his other normal activity to help Richard get better again and he left the mansion to resume work at the hospital.
He was called to be informed that Richard had collapsed again and he left all he was doing to come check up on his most favoured and richest patient.
Mr Richard was the Mayor of the state with so much wealth and the most famous for his looks, he was the most handsome among all the other Mayors.
He had always lived a life of pleasure and never got married because he had no time for it and he thought he didn't need one, he actually loved his looks more and made sure he was always looking dashing to the ladies online and at his office.
Mr Richard lived his dream in his young age, he inherited a great fortune from his parents so he never lacked from childhood. He got to 40 and became so ill... So ill that he had less than a year to live, Mr Richard got cancer.
Different doctors have been trying hard to cure him off the illness but it was impossible, he decided to accept his fate and made a vow to help people before he died since he had no family or close friends.
Richard's lifetime was not boring but he never had close relationship with anyone after he lost his parents, he enjoyed a single life to the fullest but he didn't see himself falling sick with cancer.
To the public, Richard was very healthy and would serve the state for a very long time but only his doctors knew that he was at the verge of death every minute as they were not even sure when he would let go of life.
A few months to his death, Richard announced on the news that he was very sick and he would be resigning from the office to take care of his health.
A day after the day he made the announcement, Richard decided to visit the orphanage. He was told he would find someone to help there as he had wanted before he died. He visited one with lots of gifts with him for the kids he would meet.
The orphanage home turned out to have more teenagers who had potentials but had no chance to explore it. Richard for the first time in his life, wanted to help as many as he could. He had never been the fan of being of help with his money or have pity on people but he felt different that day.
He knew he was dying, his fame and fortune couldn't save him but he was so sure that they would help the children he met with. He decided to set up great projects that the children would execute their skills on.
Before he died, he made possible boys and girls who would grow to become great people in the future... So he thought and it was as he thought. He died many years ago but those kids remembered him even in their old age.
His fame became their fame, his fortune became their fortune, they lived and helped others too.
