Chapter 159 Death
"Herman!"
Rose hurriedly called for doctors and nurses.
In the chaos, Athena unintentionally locked eyes with Herman.
Herman's withered hand reached out toward Athena.
Athena could feel that Herman wanted to say something.
"You... You..."
Herman struggled to say something but failed.
Before the medical team rushed in to save Herman, the light in his eyes suddenly vanished, and his hand fell heavily.
The heart monitor emitted a piercing beep, declaring Herman's death.
"Herman!"
Rose rushed over, sobbing bitterly.
But her cries soon fell silent.
Rose passed out.
"Madam Stella!" Athena exclaimed.
After the chaos, Rose was also taken into the hospital room.
With the help of translation software, Athena asked Jaxson about Rose's medical background.
Fortunately, Rose had always been in good health.
She fainted today totally because of her sadness.
Walking out of Rose's ward, Athena took a deep breath.
The air was bitterly cold on the early winter night.
Athena lingered by the fence, unable to cease her thoughts from dwelling on the penetrating gaze Herman cast upon her just before his demise.
Her phone beeped in her pocket.
Athena withdrew her thoughts and took out her phone.
It was a voice message from Evie on WhatsApp.
Evie sent several messages in a row.
"Darling, do you remember when I told you that the company wanted to get a difficult project? This afternoon, a man who claimed to oversee that project called me and asked to discuss contract matters with our company. And just now, they signed the contract with us!
"I was ready to resign from this crappy job! A huge opportunity just landed on my doorstep!
"Now my boss wants to promote me to director of the sales department!
