Chapter 622

The doctor sadly shook his head. “The bullet hit Mr. Morrison Senior’s heart. Not even a God can save him from this. My condolences.”

Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Caroline felt her body sway, and she almost fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, Eddy and Thomas couldn’t believe their ears.

“Doctor, there has to be another way.” Eddy grabbed the doctor’s arm.

“It doesn’t matter what method you use and how expensive the equipment is! I’ll pay for everything. I don’t care about the money. I just want my grandpa alive.”

The doctor looked at Eddy sadly. “Mr. Eddy, we’ve already tried our best.” From his words, Jude’s death was already a foregone conclusion.

There was a brief silence in the hospital. Then, there was Caroline’s soft sobs.

Immediately afterward, Eddy’s furious voice sounded. “Impossible. My grandpa is still very healthy! You must have other ways to save him, right? I order you to go in there and treat him right this instant!”

The doctor said awkwardly, “Mr. Eddy, please calm down. Mr. Morrison Senior is about to draw his last breath. You should go in there and talk with him one last time before it’s too late.”

As the oldest one there, Thomas was much calmer than Eddy. He grabbed Eddy and said, “Let’s get in there.” Having said that, he pushed Eddy into the ward.

Just like that, only Caroline and Layla were left in the corridor. Layla smugly looked at the closed door, smiling triumphantly.

She had already trying to hold back her joy since the doctor had said Jude was about to draw his last breath.

Jude was biggest obstacle to her marriage to Eddy, and he was finally about to die. After he died, she no longer had to worry about being unable to join the Morrison family.

When she became the future Mrs. Morrison, she would first visit Jude’s grave and tell him about the joyous news. She wanted him to roll around in his grave.

“Oh my, still fake crying now, are you?” Layla sneered at Caroline, who was trembling behind her.

She squatted down and grabbed Caroline’s chin.

“Oh, you’re actually crying. I thought you were faking it. Are you crying because you’re worried about your future?”

After a pause, she continued, “You must be really sad because no one will protect you after that old coot kicks the bucket.

“Hmph, I can see that happening. You should get on your knees and beg me for mercy. After becoming the future Mrs. Morrison, I’ll reward your loyalty with a job. How about it?”

Caroline’s eyes reddened at her words, and she slowly clenched her hands on the ground into fists.

Just as Layla was about to straighten up, Caroline scratched her clothes, skin, and hair like a madwoman.

“Layla, shame on you! If it hadn’t been for Grandpa, you wouldn’t be standing here right now!”

Caroline couldn’t believe Layla could say such callous words when Jude was about to pass on. She was simply inhumane!

Caroline attacked Layla relentlessly, not giving the latter any room to retaliate.

Fortunately, the nurse nearby heard the commotion and quickly stepped forward to break them apart.

With outsiders restraining Caroline, Layla immediately acted miserably like she always did.” Caroline, I know you’re upset because Grandpa died for you, but you can’t take out your grief on me!

Right now, Caroline didn’t want to do anything other than to tear Layla to shreds. She had been too civilized in dealing with Layla in the past.

Layla was a callous bitch who wouldn’t even respect the dead. Since she wouldn’t be civil, Caroline had no reason to play nice. She might as well get rid of Layla like a brute.

Just when things were getting worse, the doors to the operation theatre opened again. Eddy walked out despondently.

Upon seeing him, Layla stepped forward. She dropped her smug act and asked with concern, “I–Is Grandpa …?”
