Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 271

Chapter 271: Chapter 271

Kenneth and Louisa, loaded with gifts, arrived at the hospital, only to learn that the old lady was being resuscitated in the operating room. Just as they reached the door of the operating room, they could hear a girl’s painful crying.

That voice was unmistakably Rose’s.

They both froze, their minds in a whirl. They looked at Caden, who stood silent at the door, and finally couldn’t help but ask, "Dr. Caden, how’s the old lady?"

"She just passed away," Caden stood at the door, watching Rose crying her heart out inside, and Romeo just holding her, letting her sob in his arms.

If he could, he would want to comfort her too, but his position only allowed him to stand by, watching her in pain, unable to even approach and comfort her.

Caden’s eyes were also somewhat red, his voice filled with heartache as he exclaimed the situation to them, "Rose tried to save her for eleven hours, she really did her best."

Eleven hours, if there was a glimmer of hope, she would not let the old lady leave; but the old lady’s body really had no room to turn around.

Louisa was struck hard, dropping the things in her hands. Kenneth quickly dropped what he had to support her, "Honey, are you okay?"

Louisa felt a pang in her heart, filled with grief. She had not expected that the old lady would pass away before they could at least see her for once.

They were too late!

At this moment, Rose must be devastated!

"Grace, Grace!"

Just then, an old figure ran out of the elevator, stumbling towards the operating room.

He was trying his best, pushing through the crowd all the way, and forcefully opening the door of the

operating room, only to be met with a cold corpse.

He was about to lose his balance, but luckily, Caden at the door was quick to support him, or else he would have collapsed on the ground!

"Grace!"

This sorrowful call was filled with the old man’s sadness and pain.

He suddenly felt discomfort in his heart in the morning, and he had a premonition that something might happen to Grace.

All morning, he couldn’t reach Rose by phone. He was feeling uncomfortable as his heart was aching, so he could only send someone to the hospital to inquire, and he found out that Rose was performing surgery on Grace.

He thought it to be the surgery that was originally planned, so he waited patiently for the news.

When he felt a little better, and had somewhat recovered, he came to the hospital. Just as he reached the hospital entrance, he received the bad news. He learned that this surgery wasn’t the one originally planned, but that Grace had a sudden illness last night. Rose had been resuscitating her all night for eleven hours, but the old lady eventually passed away.

He did not know how he managed to walk to Grace’s side, looking at her, looking at her over and over again, and even subconsciously checking her breath, which was indeed gone.

His heart was squeezed into a ball, so painful that he could hardly breathe. After a while, he trembled and gently touched Grace’s hand. It was cold, without the warmth of life.

At that moment, he suddenly burst into tears, "Grace!"

Why did she leave just like that! Why didn’t she wait for him to come, not giving him a chance to see her for the last time, and just leave like that!

Wasn’t she the one who loved Rose the most? Why did she even leave her behind?

What happened? What happened last night?

"Grace!"

Alberto held the cold body, never expecting that in all these years the only time he would hold her would be in this situation.

His cry was filled with pain and despair.

Kenneth and Louisa, who had come to the door, all had red eyes when they saw this scene.

Why was all this so sudden?

As far as they knew, Rose had always given the old lady the best medicine, and she could have had successful surgery this morning. Why did this accident happen?

Rosemary, too, was silently shedding tears on the side. She thought her grandma and Grandpa Alberto might have a good future. At least her grandma. could live for another ten or so years.

What suddenly happened last night that changed everything?

With the medication and physical condition of her grandma during this period, she couldn’t have suddenly had a heart attack, leading to a rupture of the heart!

Thinking of her grandma’s heart having a three–centimeter–long rupture, Rosemary’s heart felt as if it was being torn apart, so painful that she couldn’t breathe.

Right, the surveillance camera!

She had installed a surveillance camera in her grandma’s ward before!

After work, she accompanied Romeo for dinner, a walk, and when she got home, she checked the surveillance. At that time, her grandma had already fallen asleep!

She thought her grandma would sleep until dawn as usual, so after taking a shower, she began to deal with her personal affairs.

She thought her grandma was preparing for the surgery the next day, so she went to bed early.

Could something else have happened last night? Something she didn’t know about and something she didn’t expect?

Thinking this, Rosemary wiped away her tears, pushed Romeo away, and left the operating room.

"Rose!"

Louisa saw her coming out of the operating room, worried that she might do something stupid.

"Auntie, don’t worry, I’ll handle it," Romeo comforted Louisa and followed Rosemary’s steps.

Only Alberto was left in the operating room, holding Grace and crying in grief.

In the banquet hall of the hotel.

All the guests had almost finished eating, and seven or eight programs had been carried out. The host excitedly picked up the microphone on stage.

"Now, let’s invite the parents from both sides and our stars of the day, Zachary and Yolanda, to the stage. Let’s welcome them with applause!"

All the guests clapped enthusiastically. They didn’t expect the Panter family to be so extravagant this time. Not only was the venue decorated dreamily and beautifully, but each dish was also outrageously

expensive, and the programs were all well–known artists and comedy groups. Even the host was famous!

"Let’s witness the couple exchange engagement rings with the warmest applause and the sincerest blessings!!"

As soon as the host’s voice fell, the whole venue erupted with thunderous applause. Zachary smiled and took out a ring box from his expensive suit.

Opening it, the diamond was almost as big as a pigeon’s egg.

Yolanda didn’t expect him to really be serious about marrying her, and suddenly became shy.

"The bride looks quite shy!" The host joked, "On behalf of all the guests, I’m going to ask the bride a question, are you satisfied with this ring?"

"Of course, I am," Yolanda showed a shy and sweet expression, "But what I’m most satisfied with is the man in front of me.".

The host led the whole venue in cheering.

"Now, let’s have the groom put the ring on the bride. Let’s encourage them with applause."

Amid the applause of the whole venue, Zachary took out the ring and put it on Yolanda’s ring finger.

"Yoli, it’s truly an honor to be engaged to you."

Yolanda’s eyes glistened with tears, deeply moved. "Me too. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have you in my life."

"Next up, let’s have our beautiful bride put the ring on the groom!"

Yolanda took the ring box handed over by the staff, and upon opening it, a shiny diamond ring was revealed.

"Wow!" The host once again stirred up the crowd’s enthusiasm. "I have to tell all our guests that neither of the newlyweds has seen the rings the other prepared. This is the big reveal!"

The crowd erupted into thunderous applause.

"From their choice of diamond rings, you can see that these two are in sync. They’re peas in a pod,

which just goes to show they’re a match made in heaven."

The diamond ring was specially ordered from a well–known overseas brand by the Harris family to maintain their image, costing around fifty grand. Meanwhile, Zachary’s ring, also from a renowned

brand, was in a similar price range.

Both families were indeed well–matched in social status.

One was the son of the richest man in Golden City, and the other was the daughter of the wealthiest man in Tranquil City, who reportedly just spent 1.2 billion dollars on a plot of land.

They couldn’t find a more perfect, well–matched couple!

Zachary’s eyes softened at the sight of the ring, humbled by the attention from the Harris family, knowing they were usually quite tight–fisted.

"Now, let’s have our stunning bride put the ring on the dashing groom’s finger! Let’s give them a round of applause to celebrate this sacred moment!"

The applause was deafening and seemed to go on forever.

Yolanda, her face beaming with joy, was just about to slide the ring onto Zachary’s finger when suddenly, the big screen on stage lit up!

Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the screen, which started playing a steamy video: a disheveled bed in a dimly lit room, a man and a woman engaged in some activities, the sounds echoing throughout the hall.

The guests were taken aback, not expecting such a shocking turn of events during the ring exchange.

The parents from both sides stood frozen on stage, at a loss for words.

Yolanda’s face turned pale instantly. The woman in the video was none other than her!

No one knew better than her where this video came from!

Zachary’s eyes widened in disbelief, then shock. The woman in the video lifted her hazy eyes, murmuring, "Wilson, stop recording. Let’s get down to business."

That was unmistakably Yolanda’s face, Yolanda’s voice!

And the face of the man? Zachary was stunned to recognize him as Wilson, a male classmate from their recent gathering.

At that gathering, Wilson was the last to arrive, barging in with a few friends with reckless abandon.

Rumor had it that he was the class troublemaker, a cocky dude who dropped out in his sophomore year and became a thug leader, commanding a small gang.

When he stepped in, he downed a bottle of X.O. and announced his intention to buy out the whole place.

However, someone informed him that Yolanda’s fiancé had already booked the venue. So he just let his gang have their fill, ordering the most expensive stuff since Zachary was footing the bill.
