Mommy,We Got a Husband -
Chapter 211 Something Big Happened to the Nash Family
It was already past midnight, and the hospital room was completely silent, with only the faint sounds of Cormac and Ravenna's breathing audible.
Cormac had lost track of how many days it had been since he had a proper meal or a good night's sleep. He felt utterly drained.
He couldn't tell if what he was thinking was real or just a dream. As his mind drifted, he suddenly heard Ravenna's heavy breathing. Realizing something was wrong, Cormac hurriedly called for the doctor.
The doctor came and performed a series of emergency procedures on Ravenna while Cormac anxiously waited on the side. An hour later, the doctors, having done all they could, looked grim. "We've done our best. The patient won't make it through the night. Notify the family to come and say their goodbyes."
Upon hearing this, Cormac's legs gave out, and he had to lean against the wall to keep from collapsing.
Ravenna won't make it through the night?
Since Ravenna fell into a coma from the sudden shock, she hadn't spoken a single coherent word. Now, in her final moments, she remained unconscious, unable to leave any last words.
He felt utterly powerless. All he could do was stay by Ravenna's side, watching her die, yet impotent to save her.
"Mom." Cormac choked up, unable to say anything more. He knelt by Ravenna's bedside, unable to even utter an apology.
Griffon had already been taken to the police station for questioning, so the only person Cormac could call was Orion. When he called Orion, his voice was trembling.
"Cormac, what did you say? Mom won't make it through the night?" Orion burst into tears upon hearing this.
"I'm coming right now, I'm coming right now!" Orion said, not even bothering to change clothes, running out in his pajamas and slippers.
Meanwhile, Denny reported to Ambrose, "Mr. Vale, everything is arranged."
"Todd is watching me closely, so I can't be distracted. But this is something I must do, so it has to be foolproof!" Ambrose reiterated.
Denny explained, "Don't worry, Mr. Vale. This person is different from Jason Gray. He's a terminal cancer patient with at most six months to live. He needs expensive medical treatment to extend his life. He's been divorced for years and only has a middle school-aged daughter. His family is poor and can't afford the medical bills. He already attempted suicide once during chemotherapy but was saved in time. Now he's hanging on for his daughter's sake. I promised him that after he died, a kind person would support his daughter's education. He agreed readily."
Hearing this, Ambrose felt reassured. Griffon's biggest mistake last time was that Jason survived.
"Good," Ambrose replied calmly, then hung up the phone.
He continued to stand by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the newly renovated clinic across the road. The clinic had its sign-up and everything.
Galatea could start her business anytime, but she spent her days romancing Alaric, completely neglecting her career.
Ambrose murmured, "Stellan, you've been hurt once before. Why choose a man who will only hurt you again?"
Ambrose couldn't understand. Alaric was a loser. Why didn't Stellan choose a man who could protect her instead of one who needed her care?
Ambrose sighed, "Stellan, I may not be able to be by your side right now, but I can make those who hurt you wish they were dead. Yes, I'll make Griffon wish he were dead."
This was a way to make Griffon suffer a hundred times more than killing him.
At 3:30 AM, when Ravenna's heart stopped, Cormac felt like his own heart stopped too.
Ravenna had passed away; the person who brought him into this world was gone forever.
Although Ravenna couldn't speak, her expression was one of pain. Clearly, she was conscious and wanted to say many things but couldn't. She left with regrets, and in her final moments, only Cormac was by her side. Cormac continued to kneel by Ravenna's bedside, unable to cry. His eyes were dry, but his heart ached terribly.
Half an hour later, the room was still deathly silent, and Orion still hadn't arrived. Cormac called her again.
But she didn't answer.
Cormac's heart sank. He had a terrible premonition and called Orion again, but it was still off.
For Alaric and Galatea, this night was just like any other. They were sleeping soundly, wrapped in each other's arms.
When the phone rang, Galatea stirred slightly. Alaric checked the time; it was not yet five o'clock.
Who could be calling so early? It was Silas.
Silas calling so early meant something was wrong, and Alaric immediately woke up.
Silas said, "Mr. Alaric. The Nash family is in big trouble."
Galatea, usually a deep sleeper, heard Silas mention the Nash family and woke up, sitting up in a panic. Seeing her awake, Alaric put the call on speaker. Silas said anxiously, "Ravenna passed away last night." Ravenna passed away!
Hearing this, Alaric and Galatea's hearts sank. It was so sudden.
Silas continued, "Not only did Ravenna pass away, but last night, Orion died in a car accident on her way to the hospital."
Alaric and Galatea couldn't believe their ears. How could this be?
Alaric repeated, "Orion died in a car accident?"
"Yes, on her way to the hospital. She was probably rushing to see Ravenna and was driving very fast. She collided with a large truck at a corner and died on the spot. The truck also overturned, and the driver died on the spot. The scene was horrific."
"What about Cormac?" Alaric's first thought was of Cormac. On the same day, both Ravenna and Orion had passed away. How could he cope?
Silas added, "Mr. Cormac should be at the hospital now."
After hanging up, Alaric and Galatea hurriedly got dressed, grabbed their car keys, and rushed out.
