True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 177 Ernest's Death

Sebastian's heart skipped a beat. "What happened?"

The nanny, still crying, said, "Mrs. Winters came by earlier. I don't know what she said to Mr. Blackwood, but when I got back, he was foaming at the mouth, pale, like he was dying." Sebastian hung up and grabbed Joey's hand, feeling a sense of dread.

Joey, sensing something was wrong, asked, "What happened? Is my great-grandfather okay?"

Sebastian looked at her, troubled. "Joey, no matter what, you have to trust me, okay?"

Joey's eyes filled with tears. "What happened?"

"Your great-grandfather is in critical condition. We need to go back now."

He ran to the car with Joey, calling the emergency center on the way. When they got home, the emergency team was already there.

The doctor shook his head. "Mr. Winters, we did our best. He had a brain hemorrhage and no heartbeat."

Joey staggered back, tears streaming. "Impossible, he was fine just now. How could this happen?"

She rushed into Ernest's room, seeing him pale on the bed, still in the clothes he wore earlier.

Joey gripped the door frame so hard her nails almost broke. She couldn't believe it. Just before she left, he had told her he wanted to look his best.

She walked to the bedside, gently touching Ernest's wrinkled cheek. The coldness made her realize he was truly gone. She collapsed on his body, crying uncontrollably.
