Finally, the toasting session was over, and the last thing to do was a toast to the parents. In any case, Roland was Selena's father, so he and Jezebelle attended to play the roles of Selena’s parents. However, it was a pity that Pierre was not there, so their presence was rather pointless now.
John sat upright in his chair while Selena came over with two glasses. Passing one glass to John, she raised the other glass at him. “Dad, I would like to thank you for raising such a great son as my husband. Here’s to you and your health.”
Glancing at Selena, John then handed his own glass to Helen before taking the new glass from Selena’s hand. Next, he drank the wine in one go.
At that, the crowd cheered their approval.
Suddenly, John covered his chest with a hand, and then immediately after, blood spurted from his mouth. Helen hurriedly went forward and held him. Faced with such a sudden incident, both Selena and Jude did not react in time.
"S-Someone come quickly and help! Take him to the hospital!"
John's eyes widened; he looked at Selena with clear panic in his eyes. Reaching out a hand, he pointed at her. His mouth seemed to tremble with words, but instead of saying something, blood spurted from his mouth again.
Unfortunately, Helen simply could not hold his weight, and he immediately fell back in his chair, his head lolling backward…
At that, the entire place was thrown into chaos.
Chris was still eating at another dinner table. When he heard the commotion over there, he put down his fork and walked over. Making his way through the crowd, he saw John with blood all over his mouth and glassy eyes. "Dad! What's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Helen wailed, "Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance!"
Selena stood in place in a daze when Helen suddenly looked at her with a ruthless glare. "What did you give John to drink just now?"
"I gave him wine…" replied Selena robotically.
