"Don't mention that bastard!" Frederick suddenly snarled.
Yvonne's face froze.
Frederick clenched his fists. "If it weren't for this bastard, how could master... This is all because of him! " i
Yvonne lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Frederick suddenly sneered, "Master's been good at everything in life. The only thing he's bad at is not teaching his grandson well. That's why he ended up angrily dying because of his own grandson."
After he said that, he snorted sarcastically and walked into the emergency room trembling.
Yvonne looked at him from behind and thought of what he had just said. She felt sad deep in her heart. She was sad for the old man.
She had to admit that Frederick was right.
The old man got so angry because of Henry.
All this could have been avoided, because she told Henry in the morning that he should not go to Jacqueline, and he should accompany the old man for his surgery instead.
But he did not listen and insisted on going to meet
Jacqueline. They even ended up...
As Yvonne thought about it, she could feel hatred and resentment towards Henry in her heart.
She hated the fact that he did not listen to her, and she hated that he did such a thing with Jacqueline.
If it were not for him, the old man would not have been so agitated, nor would he have had a sudden infarction.
But now the old man was lying in the emergency room with his one last breath, and he was still in his own world with Jacqueline.
How could he do this to her and the old man!
"Madam," Frederick's voice sounded from the rescue room and interrupted Yvonne's thoughts.
Yvonne raised her head slightly and sniffled before responding, "I'm here."
"Come in quickly, master has something to tell you," Frederick said.
When Yvonne heard that the old man had something t o say, she wasted no time and strode into the emergency room to go to the operating table.
"Grandpa..." Yvonne looked at the old man on the operating table and choked up.
The old man turned his eyes to look at her. Her mouth opened and she mumbled something.
Yvonne looked at Frederick because she did not
understand.
Frederick told her sadly, "Master has no strength to speak up, madam. You should be able to hear him if you go closer."
Yvonne hurriedly leaned over so that her ear was right in front of the old man.
"My...child..." She could finally hear the old man's weak voice.
Yvonne nodded repeatedly. "I'm here, Grandpa! I am!"
"I'm sorry... that you married such an awful man, sorry..." The old man smiled bitterly.
Yvonne shook her head repeatedly. "No, Grandpa. You didn't do anything wrong."
"That's good... Then can I ask you something?" The old man raised his hand strenuously.
Yvonne saw it and reached out to hold his hand." Grandpa, I'll promise you anything!"
"Don't... don't divorce Henry..." The old man puffed, "M y child, promise me..."
Yvonne did not expect that this was what the old man asked her to promise and she was taken aback.
But then she noticed that the old man's hand that she was holding had become colder. She did not dare to hesitate and nodded. "Okay, I promise you..." "Thank you!" The old man tried to squeeze a smile.
After smiling, he looked at the bright operating lamp o n the ceiling, and his voice slowly became hollower." I've lived long enough this life, and have had wealth as well as power, but I still have two regrets. One, I won't get to see you and Henry's child; and the other is that I don't get to see Henry before I go. How sad..."
'Bang!'
The old man's hand slipped off from Yvonne's grip and fell heavily on the operating table with a thud.
The sound felt like a hammer on Yvonne's heart. She was in a daze for a few seconds before she suddenly realized what had happened. She threw herself on the old man's body and burst into tears. 2
Frederick did not stop her, but he turned his back to her and cried silently.
At that moment, the entire room was filled with sorrow.
Yvonne did not know how much time had passed as she fainted in tears, and was finally taken to the ward by a nurse that Frederick had called.
