Chapter 297

Chapter 297 Come Back To Take Over Cooper Group “I’m sorry! I can understand your feelings, but the patient was sent here too late! You should prepare for her funeral!”

The doctor looked at Julian, who had tears streaming down his face, and pushed his hand away. He then looked at Sarah, who was at the side, and nodded apologetically. He lifted his foot and walked towards the other end of the corridor.

“Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Julian shouted as he collapsed. Tears kept flowing down his face.

“Julian!” Sarah held Julian tightly in her arms. Tears kept rolling down her face. “Julian, if you want to cry, cry out loud!”

“Wuwu! Sarah! My mother cannot die! How is this possible? How can my mother die? Sarah. . .” Julian broke down and cried. He could not believe that his mother had died just like that.

Vivian stood by the side and looked at Julian and Sarah with red eyes. She was very conflicted. When she heard the doctor announce Daphne’s death from the villa, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

Last night, Vivian had been worried for an entire night. She was afraid that Daphne would wake up and tell everyone everything that she had done. At that time, she really wished that Daphne would die immediately.

But now, seeing that Daphne really did not have any breathing and the doctor announced the news of her death, Vivian began to regret it again.

In the end, Daphne left the world!

With the secret that she heard, she closed her eyes forever!

Julian could not accept such a blow. He had been waiting in the corridor of the hospital for an entire day. But no matter how hard he refused to believe it, Daphne could not hear her son shouting.

Because when Daphne died, there was no one by her side. No one knew how she fell down the stairs.

Sarah thought about it again and again and decided to call the police.

But after a series of on-site investigations, the police finally confirmed that Daphne accidentally stepped on air on the stairs and fell down the stairs.

It was simply an accident.

Actually, such an outcome, anyone who saw the scene of Daphne lying on the ground in the morning already knew what was going on. Sarah only called the police because she wanted to give Julian an explanation.

No matter how much pain and disbelief Julian felt, he knew very well in his heart that the moment he hugged his mother’s cold body, he knew that his mother had left him.

However, he didn’t want to believe it! He also didn’t want to believe it!

His father was still unconscious in the hospital, and he couldn’t see his own eyes. Now, his mother left him just like that! She had left this world!

How could he accept such a cruel reality?

That day, Christian received a call from Sarah.

When he heard the news of Daphne’s sudden death, he instantly thought that he had misheard her.

However, when he heard his wife crying nonstop on the phone, he had to believe the heart-wrenching news he had heard.

After asking for leave from the chief of the army, he boarded the plane and flew back the next morning.

All of Daphne’s funeral matters were handled by Christian. Enduring his great grief, he chose a cemetery for Daphne and dealt with all the matters at home.

As soon as Ruby heard this news, she returned to Villa of Cooper Family the next day to stay by Julian’s side.

Julian was unable to close his eyes for a few days and nights after his mother passed away. He just sat alone in his mother’s bedroom, staring blankly ahead with his dull eyes. His tears had long since dried up.

Julian sat on the bed with his mother’s clothes in his arms. Either he didn’t say a word in a day’s time, or he just looked forward and chatted with Ruby about his childhood.

“Ruby, do you know? My mom is very good to me. . . She pampers me too much. . . She must be too angry. . . So she purposely left me for a period of time. Ruby, don’t you think so?”

“Ruby. . . My mother said. . . My eyes will definitely be cured. . . Definitely!”

“Ruby, my mother really likes boys. Look, I have a son. . . My mother should definitely be happy, don’t you think? But why is she angry?”

“Ruby. . . “

“. . .”

Julian did not eat or drink for a few days straight. He just sat quietly in his mother’s room and chatted with Ruby.

Rather than talking to Ruby, it was more like he was talking to himself.

His eyes had not healed yet. His father was still lying in the hospital, and his son had just been born.

How would he accept it if her mother died just like that? How could he be at ease?

But no matter how unwilling Julian was, Daphne still let go and left. She left, leaving behind her grieving son, her unconscious husband, and her newborn grandson who had just been born for more than a month. . .

Daphne’s funeral was held three days later. No matter what others said, Julian refused to attend it.

No one could persuade him.

Christian understood that his brother did not want to believe it. In fact, he also did not want to believe it.

Because he knew better than anyone how it felt to lose a mother.

Tomorrow would be the funeral.

Julian stubbornly stayed in Daphne’s bedroom. During dinner, Sarah sat at the dining table. Looking at the chair Daphne used to sit on, Sarah covered her face and cried.

Even though, Daphne was usually cold to her, the former was still her mother-in-law and her elder. And during the period Stephen was born, she and Daphne had become very close to each other.

Daphne’s sudden death made Sarah both shocked and sad.

The others were all speechless and did not have the mood to eat dinner either. Christian looked at everyone’s sad expressions. He got up and went upstairs.

When he walked into Daphne’s bedroom, he saw his brother, Julian, sitting on the carpet in front of Daphne’s bed. Julian held the photos that his mother had collected and flipped through them page by page.

Even though, he couldn’t see anything, every time he flipped a picture, Julian could not control his emotions. Tears flowed freely on his face and his heart was torn into pieces.

Ruby was sitting beside Julian with a helpless expression on her face.

Christian gestured Ruby leave first, then he walked to the seat beside his brother and sat down.

“Julian, if you want to cry, just cry.”

Looking at Julian’s heartbroken face, Christian’s heart felt like it had been pressed down by a huge rock. He reached out and grabbed Julian’s shoulder, wanting to give the later some comfort.

“Big Brother. . .” As soon as Christian’s words fell, Julian leaned into Christian’s arms and cried like a helpless child.

“Big Brother. . .”

That night, Christian did not go anywhere. He just sat on the floor with his brother and listened to him talk about his mother’s past.

Daphne pampered him so much, but he was so disappointing. Julian regretted that he did not grow up earlier. Why did he not cherish it in the past?

Julian kept blaming himself and regretting it.

But no matter how much he blamed himself and regretted it, it wouldn’t be able to exchange for Daphne’s life. . .

…

No matter how much pain the people of Cooper Family felt, no matter how much sadness they felt, Daphne still left.

Without her, the Cooper Family became much quieter all of a sudden. Many times, it even made people feel a little sad.

On the night of the funeral, no one from the Cooper Family was in the mood to eat. But Christian still asked the maids to make some food.

On the morning of Daphne’s funeral, Benjamin fainted on the spot. He had been unwilling to speak for the past few days after he woke up. For a person in his 80s, the greatest sorrow was that he had to send his own children away with his hands.

Christian knew that Benjamin was in a bad mood, so he personally carried dinner into grandpa’s room.

When he walked in, he saw the old man sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed.

Christian walked over. He placed dinner on the coffee table and sat opposite of grandpa.

“Grandpa, I want to discuss something with you.”

The old man opened his eyes slightly and looked at his eldest grandson, not knowing what he wanted to say to him.

“I want to come back and take over Cooper Group.”

Hearing Christian’s words, Old Master Cooper frowned. Just as he was about to speak, the old man suddenly coughed violently.

Christian quickly walked over and kept patting the old man’s back. He patted Benjamin’s back for a long time, then the old man finally calmed down.

Benjamin turned his head to look at his eldest grandson. His tone was firm, as if he had never before.

“No! You have been in the army for so many years, and it was not easy for you to fight until now. How can you change your career just like that? Besides, with your personality, you are not suitable to work in the business world! Even if we have to sell the Cooper Group, I won’t let you to change your career!”

Old Master Cooper firmly disagreed with Christian’s decision.

Christian was silent for a moment, and his heart sank. He looked at Benjamin’s and said slowly, “The Cooper Group is my father’s painstaking effort. I can’t just watch it fall like this! Julian’s eyes can’t see and he is no longer suitable to run the company. Grandpa, I will go back to resign from the army tomorrow. I’ll be back in two days.”

After saying that, Christian stubbornly got up and walked out of Benjamin’s bedroom.

Benjamin looked at Christian’s back and closed his eyes in pain. He did not have anyone’s appetite for dinner.

When Christian walked out of Benjamin’s room, there was no one in the living room. He frowned and walked back to his bedroom.

From Daphne’s death until now, the Maternity Matron had helped Sarah take care of the two children.

When Christian walked into the bedroom, he saw Sarah leaning against the bed, crying silently.

He gently closed the door and slowly walked over.

“Christian. . .” Once Christian laid down on the bed, Sarah leaned into his arms and her tears fell silently.

Christian let out a long breath and raised his hand to wipe her tears. He held her in his arms and said slowly, “Sarah, I have to go back to the army tomorrow.”

Sarah, who was still in grief, was stunned when she heard his words. “Is the army very busy?”

With the Cooper Family’s current state, she really hoped that Christian could stay for a few more days.

Christian kissed her hair. “I will be back in two days. Then I will never leave again.”

Sarah looked up at him in confusion. “What do you mean? What do you mean by you will not leave again? Aren’t you a soldier? How can you never leave again?”

Christian sighed lightly. “In the past, this house was supported by Aunt Daphne, so I could stay in the army with a peace of mind. But now Aunt Daphne is not here. Dad is still in the hospital. Julian can’t see it. You still have to take care of two children. . .”

“The Cooper Group is my father’s painstaking effort. I can’t watch it fall like this. That’s why I’m preparing to come back and take over the Cooper Group!”

As soon as Sarah heard his words, she instantly sat up. She looked at him in a look of disbelief and quickly retorted, “No! You can’t change your career!”

Looking at his wife’s expression, Christian reached out and pulled her back into his arms. He gently held her small hand and said slowly, “I am the eldest son in this family. Now this family needs me!

Father and Julian’s bodies are not suitable for work. This is what I have to do! Sarah, you must support me!
