CHAPTER 354 ONE LAST TIME

Yvonne heard the old man's voice and recovered from her daze. She forced a smile reluctantly and answered, "Yes."

The old man sat up and asked, "What is he doing with that woman?"

Yvonne lowered her eyes. "He wants to find out where Dominic Conrad and the others are." 1

"I see." The old man lifted his chin and believed her, but his old eyes were still narrowed. "What did the woman just say to you?"

When Yvonne heard that, her eyes flickered and she shook her head. "It's nothing, Grandpa. Don't ask." 1

She did not want to tell the old man the truth.

However, the old man did not give up. He said louder," Tell me!"

"Grandpa..." Yvonne was caught in a difficult situation.

The old man stared at her closely as he waited for her t o speak.

Yvonne had no choice but to give in when she saw the old man's persistent eyes.

However, when she had just organized her thoughts and was about to speak, the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated and interrupted what she was

about to say.

She recalled that Jacqueline told her she was going to send her a photo and her heart sank. She quickly turned the phone over and unlocked it.

As soon as it was unlocked, a photo popped out on the screen.

The moment she saw the photo, her face immediately went white and her eyes darkened. It felt as if her strength had been taken away from her.

She stared at the photo with her blood red eyes, and her breathing became rapid.

In the photo, Jacqueline was lying in Henry's arms, and neither of them was wearing clothes. There was only a thin blanket covering both of them.

It was shocking that both of them had red spots all over their naked shoulders and necks after the passionate time they had.

At this moment, Yvonne felt like she just received a huge blow. She could feel her body going limp and she almost fainted.

However, she held onto the railing of the old man's bed in time to get herself together and did not fall.

She did not manage to grab a hold of her mobile phone so it fell on the ground.

The old man looked down and caught a glimpse of the picture on the phone. His eyes suddenly widened and he could not breathe. He then fell on the hospital bed.

'Beep! Beep!'

The ECG instrument on the bedside started ringing all of a sudden. 1

Yvonne was awakened from the sound, so she quickly turned around to look at the hospital bed to find the old man lying there motionless with his eyes closed. She was petrified and she quickly went to check on him.

"Grandpa? Grandpa?" Yvonne called the old man with a trembling voice, and started shaking the old man with her hands.

The old man did not respond. It was as if he was dead.

Yvonne realized that something was wrong, and she was so anxious she was about to cry.

She hurriedly pressed the emergency button on the headboard of the bed before running to the door of the ward and opened it as she shouted, "Doctor, doctor! Anybody please!"

Down the corridor, Frederick was leading a team of medical staff out of the elevator as they were getting ready to take the old man for surgery.

They heard Yvonne's cries right after they got out.

Frederick's expression suddenly changed when he realized something was wrong. He ran towards the ward without caring about his weak legs at all.

When the medical staff behind him saw the situation, they looked at each other and immediately followed to catch up.

When they arrived in the ward, Frederick saw Yvonne who was holding on to the door frame as she was about to crumble. He immediately asked, "Madam, what's the matter?"

When Yvonne heard his voice, a gleam of hope appeared in her eyes.

She quickly grabbed Frederick's hand firmly as if he were a lifesaver. "Frederick, hurry! Grandpa just passed out, and his heart rate is unstable. Hurry up and save Grandpa, quick!"

"What?" Frederick’s pupils shrank and his mind went black momentarily.

However, he soon reacted and shook off Yvonne's hand before rushing into the ward.

After he entered, the team of medical staff arrived shortly after.

Yvonne took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and then commanded the team to save the old man.

Outside the emergency room, Yvonne stood anxiously while holding her hands tightly together. Her pale face was full of worries for the old man.

"Madam." Frederick walked behind her with a cold expression. "Please tell me the truth. Why did master suddenly pass out!" he asked sharply.

Yvonne bit her lower lip and slowly turned around

with her eyes full of guilt. "It's my fault!"

"What the heck is going on!" Frederick raised his voice.

Yvonne covered her face and she choked up, "When I realized that it was almost time for the surgery and Henry still hadn't arrived, I wanted to call him, and... and..."

She could not go on and her heart was aching from the pain.

But Frederick did not stop. He asked sternly, "And what? Please tell me honestly!"

Yvonne was frightened by Frederick's anger. She trembled and did not dare to hide anything anymore. She came clean and told him everything.

Frederick finally found out that the old man was in shock because of Henry and Jacqueline, and he was furious.

"Sir..." He punched the cold wall with his fist and his eyes were dark. "I can't believe it was sir!"

Yvonne looked at Frederick and then at the emergency room red light that was still on. Her mouth opened slightly as she wanted to say something, but she did not say anything in the end. She turned around and leaned against the wall at a corner while waiting for the old man.

After waiting for about an hour, the light in the emergency room finally went out.

Yvonne hurriedly strode forward and stood with

Frederick as they stared at the door of the emergency room eagerly.

The door opened and a doctor came out.

Yvonne asked without waiting for Frederick, "Doctor, how’s Grandpa?"

"Yes doctor, is master okay?" Frederick also asked.

The doctor took off his mask and glanced at Yvonne and Frederick. He regretfully shook his head. "I'm sorry, we’ve tried our best. The old man was in great shock and suffered a sudden infarction. We couldn't save him...."

"What?" Yvonne could hear ringing in her ears and it felt like the whole world was spinning around.

Could not save him...

"That's impossible!" She shook her head violently, unwilling to accept the fact. She grabbed the doctor's hand and asked urgently, "Doctor, please tell me this i s not true. My grandfather's fine, right? Are you lying t o us?"

Although Frederick did not speak, the way he looked a t the doctor was just like Yvonne's.

The doctor felt uncomfortable, but he could not lie just because he felt sorry for them.

He sighed and pulled his hand away. He avoided their gazes and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't lie to you. Master Lancaster's life has really come to an end, so you should go in and see him one last time."

The doctor then quickly walked past them and left. Content is © by .

Yvonne looked at her hand, and as much as she did not want to believe this cruel fact, she had to accept it now. 3

She turned her head and looked at the man next to her with tears in her eyes. She said with despair," Frederick..."

Frederick's eyes were also red but he did not cry like her, and he was also more receptive to reality than she was.

He gave her a pat on the shoulder. "Madam, let's go. Let's go in and see master off."

"What about Henry?" Yvonne did not forget him.
