Chapter 623

Eddy didn’t even look at Layla as he said to Caroline, “You should go in there. Grandpa has something to tell you.”

When Caroline him, she ripped herself away from the nurse who was restraining her. Then, she wiped her tears and followed Eddy into the operation theatre.

The place was filled with the smell of blood. The doctor had already removed the bullet from Jude’s chest and placed it on the tray. It looked harsh under the bright light.

Caroline walked quickly to Jude. Her tears were already falling before she could even say anything.

“Grandpa …”

Jude’s eyes lit up when he heard Caroline’s voice.

He tried to raise his hand to touch her, but his arms felt like they were made of lead. He couldn’t lift them at all.

“Carrie … I seemed to have heard your grandmother’s voice… I’m going to meet her soon…‘

“No, you won’t. You’re not leaving …” Caroline finally realized her words were powerless in the face of life and death.

“Don’t be sad. I–I’ve lived long enough… If you and Eddy had gotten married sooner and fulfilled my wish, maybe I wouldn’t have lived until now…

Caroline stared blankly at Jude, whose eyes were still open, and tears emerged from her eyes again.

She wailed, “Grandpa!”

At this time, Kirk, who had entered the elevator, felt a chill behind him. He looked behind him, but he couldn’t see anything.

When he reached the floor Jude was on, Kirk heard Caroline’s mournful wails as soon as he stepped out of the elevator. He walked quickly to the operation theatre.

After taking a few steps, he saw Eddy helping Caroline, who was in tears, out of the operation theatre.

Holding back his reckless impulses, he hid behind the emergency exit door and watched Caroline through the door’s glass.
