The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 168

"Baldrick!" Hilaria hurriedly called for the medical staff.

Amidst the chaos, Rosalynn's gaze met Baldrick's unintentionally.

His withered hand reached out to her. His mouth opening and closing, trying to say something.

"Chi...child..." Baldrick struggled to get the word out.

Before the medical staff rushed in to save him, his eyes lost their light, and his reaching hand slumped.

The piercing beeps from the heart monitor signaled Baldrick's death.

"Baldrick!!!" Hilaria rushed over, sobbing uncontrollably.

She cried for a moment before suddenly fainting.

"Old Mrs. Jared!" Rosalynn exclaimed.

After a tumultuous scene, Hilaria also ended up in a hospital herself.

Rosalynn used a translation app to talk to Calvin about Hilaria's medical history.

Thankfully, Hilaria's health had always been good; she just became overwhelmed with grief.

Stepping out of Hilaria's room, Rosalynn took a deep breath.

The late-night air in early winter was freezing. She leaned against the railing, her mind inexplicably filled with the look in Baldrick's eyes just before he died, seemingly directed at her.

Her phone rang.

Rosalynn snapped out of it and pulled out her phone. It was a voice message from Paige; she had sent several.

"Babe, remember when I told you about my company trying to land a difficult project? This afternoon, a man claiming to be in charge of the project called me and asked me to negotiate a contract with my company. And then, just now, they signed the contract!"

"I was just about to quit this crummy job, and suddenly this incredible opportunity comes crashing down on me!"

"My boss wants to promote me to director of the sales department!!!"

"I'm a designer, and I've only been in this job for less than a month, and now I'm the boss of the sales department?"
