A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 116

When Rome got downstairs, he saw Edward walking towards him, but he marched straight past him without uttering a word and left the mansion.

Puzzled by Rome's behavior, Edward headed into the living room, and when he saw Mr. Barlow and Madam Rosey, he couldn't stop himself from asking, "Did something happen?"

"No," Mr. Barlow mumbled with his focus on his newspaper.

When Madam Rosey saw her son staring at her, she calmly uttered, "Why did you ask?"

"Well, I just saw Rome. He looked stressed and was leaving in a rush." Edward mumbled, recalling the look of distress he saw in Rome's eyes.

"I don't concern myself with matters of someone who doesn't matter."

"Right,"

Still feeling uneasy about Rome's appearance, Edward took a seat on the couch.

It took a while. Then Mr. Barlow's phone buzzed on the couch, so he rested his newspaper on the table, picked up his phone, and answered the call.

After listening in silence for a few minutes, Mr. Barlow's eyes grew dull, and he immediately stood from his seat, causing his wife and son's attention to draw to him.

They both impatiently waited for him to get off the line, and when he finally did, Madam Rosey asked, "What happened?"

"We need to get the entire family down to Silver Crest hospital." Mr. Barlow anxiously said.

"Wait, what? Why?"

"Because Catherine is there! Apparently, the SUV she was in got run over by a micro truck."

Immediately, Edward stood to his feet with a look of fear in his eyes. Then his trembling hand covered his mouth as he tried to get controlled over his emotions.

With moist eyes, Madam Rosey stood to her feet, took out her phone, and made a call to Chloe.

When her granddaughter answered, she said, "You and Dash need to get to Silver Chest Hospital now."

"Why? Is my grandfather ill?" Chloe's voice echoed in her ear.

"No, Catherine was involved in an accident."

"Oh. Okay, we will be there."

The lack of emotion in Chloe's voice totally shocked Madam Rosey. But she ignored it and ended the call.

At that moment, William came into the living room, and he immediately froze, seeing the look of devastation on everyone's faces.

"What's going on?" William asked, staring at his father.

"Catherine was involved in an accident." Mr. Barlow answered as he strolled through his phone for Elijah's number.

"Catherine was involved in a what?" Anthony asked from the doorway before walking into the living room.

Swaying his attention away from his mother, William looked at his brother and said, "An accident."

With a deadpan expression, Anthony asked, "How bad is it?"

"I don't know. One of the staff from the hospital called me to inform me about the accident, but they didn't include the state she's in." Mr. Barlow hastily uttered as he dialed Elijah's number.

Then when his call got answered, he said, "You and your wife need to get to Silver Chest Hospital."

"Why?" Elijah's cold voice echoed from the speakers.

"Catherine was involved in an accident, and she's there!"

"So!"

"She's your niece..."

"Was,"
