Chapter 355 On His Deathbed
Upon hearing the matter, the Quirk siblings couldnât help but furrow their brows. The whole situation was quite distressing. However, they could only conclude that he was the cause of his own troubles, and no one else was to blame.
Upon arriving at the hospital, they saw an elderly couple giving Sarah a hard time. Nina had already heard about her fatherâs mishap. Seeing her mother being scolded, she quickly rushed over.
âGrandpa, Grandma!â
The two elders didnât brighten up even when they saw their granddaughter. They remained steeped in sorrow, yelling at Sarah.
âItâs all your fault! If you hadnât been so hesitant to speak to Quirk Group about the project on behalf of your husband, my son wouldnât have had to rush to the construction site to find a solution. Youâve brought this disaster upon us! Our family only has this one sole heir. If anything happens to him, I wonât be able to live anymore. Youâll have to pay with your life as well! Boohoo!â Vera lamented in utter despair.
Even though Terry remained silent, he glared at Sarah with resentment through reddened eyes.
Had it not been for Isabellaâs prior inner thoughts, one might have actually believed in Benettâs innocence while listening to their conversation.
At least, back then, the Quirk family, especially David, thought that the elderly couple was just being unreasonable and looking for an outlet to vent.
Immediately, Carlos stepped forward to steady Sarah, who could no longer stand firm. Seeing his sister in such a state of grief, he felt a deep pang of heartache. He addressed the two elders without mincing his words. âI understand both of you are extremely worried about my brotherâinâlawâs condition. However, my sister shares the same worry. No one wished for this accident to happen, but itâs absolutely unjust to place the blame on her!â
The couple, furious and on the verge of lashing out, were interrupted by the thunderous sound of footsteps. As they turned around, they saw quite a number of people approaching.
âYou two should sit down and wait for news. If you keep this up, the hospital might kick us out,â
Christopher said, raising an eyebrow.
âThis hospital is backed by Quirk Groupâs investment,â Jake stated. âDelaying Sarah like this isnât conducive to her assisting Bennett in handling matters.â
âOh dear, we still have a minor here. Itâd be nice if the two of you could be a bit more mindful with your words.â Eula didnât particularly care for the two elders and made no attempt to hide her displeasure.
Nothing more needed to be said. The support for Sarah was clearly visible, it left the couple feeling as though they wouldnât be able to win this argument no matter what. They soon quietened down, no longer daring to make a scene.
Without their interference, and with her familyâs support, Sarah managed to pull herself together rather quickly. She hurriedly went to find someone who could update her on the situation. Even though she knew she had to wait for the surgical results, she still yearned to know more.
Soon, the operation was over. There were no miracles. The doctor emerged, shaking his head to indicate that he had done his best, but Benett was beyond saving. He advised the family members to go in and say their goodhues as there wasnât much time left GB.
Chapter 355 On His Deathbed Suddenly, a heartâwrenching cry echoed through the corridor.
The sudden news of someone nearing death left an unpleasant feeling in the hearts of Isabella and others even though they were not particularly fond of Benett They merely waited outside instead of entering the ward.
The twins, Jake and Eula, were instructed to go pick up Adam and Caitlin. After all, he was their sonâinâlaw and it was only right for them to come bid their goodbyes.
Before long, relatives from the Eaton family also arrived.
The hallway was bustling with people at that moment. Alexander asked Christopher and Rosalie to stay behind to monitor the situation while he stepped out for some fresh air with Isabella, naturally, Evian followed suit with Callahan.
Callahan was still holding Ninaâs bag, his expression filled with deep sorrow.
In the garden behind the hospital, there were quite a few patients and their family members strolling around. Evian led Callahan to a bench and they sat down. Isabella, on the other hand, couldnât sit still. So, Alexander accompanied Isabella for a walk around the garden.
Isabella was consumed with worry, unable to keep from wondering, âHeâs dying. When should I let Sarah know about the affair? If I tell her, would she⦠blame me? What if sheâd rather hold onto her memories of a loyal husband instead? But if it were me, I certainly wouldnât want to be deceived!
Oh, this is so frustrating. Maybe I should drop a hint to Alexander, let him do some investigating. He can share in my worry then. After all, we are married and she is his cousin too!â
Naturally, Alexander would tell youâ¦
let his wife worry. He was the first to speak up. âThereâs something I need to Isabella was taken aback, looking up at Alexander, only to find that Alexander had suddenly furrowed his brows, his gaze directed toward a long bench not too far away.
Over by the bench, there were several people. A beautiful woman was holding her daughter, crying.
Her three sons, eyes red and swollen, were huddled around her. A man paced back and forth nearby. âSloane, shouldnât we go up? Heâs on his deathbed. If we donât go now, who knows what might happen!â he implored.
