The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 488

"Is Anna... What's going on with her?" Jacob Shelby suppressed the feeling of panic in his heart and then looked at Seth Leeds frantically.

"She is in Room 302. You... You should go and visit her. I... It's my fault." Seth had a sorrowful expression on his face, as if his heart was in so much pain that he could not speak anymore.

Jacob did not care about everything else. H e turned around and dashed toward the stairs.

During the time it took him to go up two floors, Jacob's heart was surging with a turmoil of emotions.

After seeing Seth's expression, he wondered what actually had happened to Anna.

Had she gotten injured in the car accident?

Jacob dashed upstairs as fast as the wind.

Before he could make it to Room 302, all of a sudden, he saw the driver sitting in the corridor.

"Mr. Shelby." The driver stood up hastily.

"Anna..." Jacob was about to inquire.

All of a sudden, a stretcher was pushed out of the room.

The person lying on the stretcher was covered with a piece of white fabric, while the nurse pushing the stretcher appeared t o be very solemn.

Jacob's heart started racing for a moment and then sank to the bottom of the sea at once!

"Mr. Shelby, what’s done is done. You... You shouldn’t worry too much," said the driver.

'What's done is done...'

At this very moment, Jacob felt as if his soul had been stripped away from his body.

A smile that looked even uglier than tears emerged on his face.

She had only left his sight for a short while, yet she was already lying there quietly.

Jacob walked over shakily in an attempt to flip the white fabric.

"Sir, the patient has already passed away," said the nurse.

'Already passed away...’

Jacob's heart was a chaotic mess.

He raised his head and looked at the nurse with a deathly stare. "I don't believe it." "It’s true.” The nurse heaved a sigh. "She left really suddenly. She was still fine a moment ago, yet out of the blue... You're a family member, right? Look at you. What are you doing? You obviously knew that it was possible she might pass away from her condition at any moment, yet you weren't by her side. Now that the patient is gone, you seem to have rushed over quite quickly, huh?"

The nurse was still speaking, yet Jacob felt as though he was going mad.

Anna's smile emerged in his mind over and over again.

She had been so lively and brilliant, and her style had been a complete contrast to his ice-cold attitude.

She had been the sun that could melt all the snow.

She was not supposed to be lying still there without moving.

"Anna...” Jacob's eyes reddened at once.

It was his fault. It was his fault that Anna was dead!

Had he not driven Anna away in anger on purpose, Anna would never have been involved in a car accident and this incident would never have happened.

His sun had left him.

What was the point of staying in this world alone now?

He had made her leave so she could have a better life, not for her to end up lying there like this.

The driver beside him was dumbstruck from bewilderment upon seeing Jacob's agitated behavior.

Director Shelby of StarTech Co. was a huge iceberg.

Usually, if anyone saw any change in Jacob's expression, even for the slightest bit, it would be enough for them to brag about it for a very long time.

Now, the usually calm Mr. Shelby was suddenly behaving like a complete madman!

Upon hearing Jacob calling out to Anna earlier, the driver had realized that Jacob could possibly have misunderstood.
