Just as Jude and Selena were whispering to the side, the emergency room door opened, and the doctor came out. “Sorry, but we tried our best. We’re sorry for your loss.”
“Doctor, what did you say?” Helen's eyes grew wide, and horror was written all over her tear-stained face while Selena froze on the spot. She had mentally prepared herself for the worst possible outcome, but she did not expect that John would really die.
“Dad!” Chris fell to his knees at once with a thud.
At this time, the other members of the Fowler Family had also arrived. After all, Fowler Corporation was a family business, and although it was monopolized by John's branch of the family, there were many other members of the Fowler Family working at the company. Some of them had shares, while others held positions. When they saw Chris kneeling on the ground and Helen sobbing profusely, they knew what had happened without having to ask.
Right now, Selena was still in a daze. She did not have much interaction with John and had only met him twice before, with the third time being today at the wedding. The first time she saw him was when he came to see the child at the hospital, while the second time was when she followed Pierre home to meet his parents. So, today was the third time at the wedding venue. She was simply shocked at how a person could suddenly die like that. Suddenly, she thought of Pierre and immediately called him.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable.”
Pierre should be on the plane now, or perhaps he had already arrived at his destination, where he could not use his phone. Selena smacked her head in frustration. Why am I so dumb? Why didn’t I call him at once just now when John was coughing up blood?
However, Jude was frowning as she stared at Helen. For some reason, she felt that the latter was acting rather strangely.
Just at this time, several police officers came over, and they walked up to Selena. “Hi there, are you Selena Yard?”
“I am.”
