Chapter 375 Oliver Passed Away The hall descended into chaos. Kelly never expected Oliver to take the hit for Rose.
She was stunned at the sight of Oliver slumping into Rose's arms. Before she could cback to her senses, somebody kicked her from behind and sent her out of the room. Kelly fell to the ground with a loud bang. She grimaced from the pain following the sound of her bones dislocating, but no one cared about her at that moment.
Everyone nervously gathered around Oliver and expressed their worry. Kelly was stunned by the sight. It seemed as if she had finally woken up.
She had ruined everything. She harmed Oliver in front of everyone again. If something really happened to Oliver, Jonathan would never let her off.
At that moment, she only had one idea. Run! Now that everyone in the hall was distracted, it was her chance! No one noticed that Kelly was dragging herself out in pain.
"Ro... Rose..." Oliver was barely breathing as he gazed at Rose. He seemed to have a lot to say to her, but he probably couldn't make it any longer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Grandpa, I'm here... I'm here. The doctors will be here soon..." Rose's heart sank as she held Oliver's hand tightly. She had never felt such panic before.
Rose's mind kept replaying the scene where Oliver stood in front of her and tears started flowing from her eyes. She sobbed, "How could you... How could you do such a foolish thing..." Even if Kelly hurt her, she'd rather take it on herself than have Oliver protect her.
"Don't... cry..." Oliver raised his hand and wiped her tears.
His frail movement made it seem like he would pass away at any moment. Yet, he still held on.
Oliver stared at Rose, wanting to look at her for longer. He kept mumbling, "You resemble her... a lot..." Oliver could see Rietta in Rose whenever he looked at Rose's eyes. Now, when he looked at those eyes, he finally saw Rose as she was. She was his granddaughter! He remembered the tRose saved him on the ship. Thankfully Jonathan cin tto rescue her, otherwise...
He wouldn't be able to forgive himself even if he died. Thankfully... Thankfully Rose was saved.
Oliver seemed to think of something. "Miles..." "Grandpa..." Miles approached him with a solemn expression, worry etched on his face.
Oliver stared at Miles seriously. "Remember what I told you..." Before Miles could reply, Oliver couldn't hold on anymore. He used all his strength to look at Rose one last time, wishing he could etch her into his memory.
He wanted to look at her more, but unfortunately... Oliver's hand that was wiping off Rose's tears fell lifelessly as he closed his eyes.
The air seemed to go still for a brief moment. Then, the room sprung back into chaos.
"Grandpa..." The room burst into sounds of sobbing and screaming while Oliver lay in Rose's arms, laying completely still. Rose felt numb. She didn't dare to think about the possibility that...
Nonetheless, someone reached out to check Oliver's breath. It was none other than Chloe. She immediately cto a conclusion and retracted her hand. "He's not breathing... Oliver's..." Gone... What did that imply? Chloe subconsciously exclaimed, "Since Kelly is not related to Oliver, then the will is void! I want the distribution of assets to be reconsidered!" With Oliver gone, she was now the oldest member of the Young family. Of course, she had to be quick to take advantage of this situation.
But the moment she said those words, everyone looked at her with disdain, especially Miles.
Although Chloe felt guilty, she still insisted, "I'm not wrong. The young family is powerful. We need to—" "Stop it, Mom!" Gabriel interrupted Chloe before she could finish.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was aware that his mother had her eyes on the Young family, but it was only then did he realize that she only ever cared about the family's wealth. Everyone was grieving over Oliver's sudden death. Yet, not only was she not pained by his death, she only cared about the distribution of assets... Afraid that Chloe would continue saying hurtful things to Miles and Rose, Gabriel decisively grabbed her hand and dragged her outside.
"What are you doing? Gabriel, let go of me!" Chloe was furious. She tried to release herself from his grip, but she couldn't win against Gabriel. As she was dragged to the gates, Chloe heard Mile's cold voice from behind.
"Grandpa's will is still valid." Chloe frowned. "What do you mean? The will clearly states that his biological granddaughter will inherit his assets. How could he have a biological granddaughter?" Chloe sneered, but Miles did not reply to her. Instead, he turned to Rose. At that moment, Rose was sobbing uncontrollably. It was as if she couldn't hear anything else around her.
Her mind kept playing her last moments with Oliver. When Miles tried to carry Oliver-away, Rose ve tightened her grip on Oliver the m moment Miles touched him. "Rose..." Miles' voice trembled. He didn't know what else to say. Rose cared for Oliver as much as he did. In fact... When he thought about what Oliver told him to do and his reminded earlier, he cto a decision.
Outside the Young mansion... A figure that was fleeing sped up her movements. When she heard sounds of sobbing from inside, Kelly knew that Oliver was probably dead. She once wished for Oliver's death, but now. Even if he died, she wouldn't be able to get what shal.ne wanted. She wouldn't be able to stay in Aquastead anymore either.
Kelly's thoughts were occupied with ways to escape Aquastead. She completely forgot that Chelsea was still in Jonathan's hands. She thought she could escape, but before she could step away more than 100 feet, a few men in black suits rushed toward her. There was no tfor her to run before she was detained by the men. She was thrown into a black sack and shoved into a car. The doctors from Harmony Hospital rushed over and declared Oliver's death. Miles placed his hand on Oliver's lifeless body. Rose also couldn't hold it any longer. She felt her head spin and lost all strength from her body. The next second, a pair of strong arms caught her from falling. Before she lost consciousness, she met Jonathan's worried gaze.
