Her voice is trembling, and her speech slurs.
Lily realizes that something is wrong. Without any time to care about anything else, she goes to the doctor while shouting out aloud.
"Doctor! Doctor!"
The nurse also realizes it and sneaks away.
Several doctors rush into the ward and resuscitate the man on the bed.
Lily and Chloe are waiting outside.
She is shaking all over and can't even calm down.
He is Little Fairy's only family. If something goes wrong, how can she explain it to Little Fairy?
A few minutes later, the doctors stop the first aid for the man.
When Lily hears the doctor ask the nurse to mark the death time. She collapses and falls against Chloe. Her mind goes blank as she watches the doctor walk towards her.
The doctor says something to Lily miserably and shakes his head before leaving.
Soon, all the doctors and nurses in the ward leave.
There are only Lily, Chloe, and the dying man now.
Lily loses in her thoughts for a long time. She holds onto Chloe's arm tightly with her lips trembling. "What did the doctor say just now?"
"Lily..."
"Is he taking a nap?" Lily asks her, "He will be fine tomorrow, right?"
Chloe whispers, "The doctor apologized, they said they did their best."
Lily purses his lips fiercely and holds onto Chloe's arm tightly.
In the blink of an eye, she bursts into ears.
"What should I tell the Little Fairy?" "She helped me so much, but I can't even save her only family... how useless I am..." Lily cries out aloud as she is devastated.
She loses her younger brother as he dies in a foreign country.
How long has it been? She even fails to take care of her good friend's family.
"It's all my fault!" Lily cries bitterly while leaning on Chloe, "It's all because I am too stupid. If I had let Little Fairy go abroad earlier, this would not have happened."
It is all because that she makes friends with Willow to give her samples of new products when she visits the L City.
She gives the poisoned duck soup to Willow, making her to lose her child, so Willow in return revenges on her.
It is all because of Lily herself!
She is responsible for all these tragedies!
Chloe doesn't know what to do but keeps comforting Lily, "Lily, it's not your fault. It was the nurse who blurted out the news..."
Lily mutters, "When I came back from the L City, I should have packed my things and left here. Why did I stay ... What a loser I am..."
"Lily, stop it." Seeing how miserable Lily is, Chloe wants to cry as well.
She takes out the phone to call Louis, but a call just happens to come in.
Chloe answers, "Hello."
"Hello, I'm Ella, Lily's assistant from HS." The person on the phone says, "President Lily said that if she doesn't come to the company today, I should make this call if something happens. Is she there?"
Chloe assumes that Lily can't answer the phone right now, so she asks, "How can I help you?"
"Here, President Lily said yesterday that she couldn't find her phone. I found it in the shower room, so I wonder if she needs it. If so, I will send it for her. There were more than a dozen missed calls on it."
"Please send it to the city hospital."
After hanging up, Chloe calls Louis.
But Louis' phone is still powered off.
Chloe grits her teeth in anger, thinking that if Louis is her boyfriend, she will have broken up with him for countless times already.
What good are you if I can't find you when something goes wrong!
As Victor answers the call, Lily asks in a hoarse voice, "You called so many times. What's wrong?"
"Ms. Lily, what happened?"
"I'm fine."
Victor remains silent for a few seconds before saying, "Ms. Lily, Mr. John made a will. If anything happens to him, all the property under his name will belong to you..."
"What do you mean?" Lily interrupts him and almost drops her phone, "Why did you mention it now? Where is John? Where is he?"
"..."
"I'm asking you!" Seeing that Victor doesn't answer, Lily says furiously, "Where is he!"
"Mr. John talked to Jonathan to get your brother's body back, and Jonathan asked him to come to Country Y to get it himself." "Mr. John's private jet disappeared on his way back," Victor lowers his voice.
Lily is terribly astonished.
"Didn't his private jet follow the flight path? Why did it disappear? Did you look for it?" She says in a trembling voice.
Victor says, "The fight path has been tampered with. There are subordinates from Jonathan on board ... I've checked everywhere it could be, but I can't find him. Mr. John said..."
"He'll be fine! He'll be fine!" Lily roars at him.
She closes her eyes and tries her best to calm herself down.
As she speaks up again, her voice trembles uncontrollably, "Ask someone to look around again. Check everywhere the airline passes by. I'll ask someone else to help as well. He'll be fine."
"Ms. Lily..."
Without hearing him out, she hurriedly hangs up the phone. She bends down and cries bitterly, with tears wetting the floor tiles.
What happens today made her devastated, how exhausted she is!
Chloe supports her and says with sympathy, "Lily..."
"I'm fine." Lily stands up and wipes away her tears. "I shouldn't cry. Crying wouldn't change anything. There are still many things to deal with. I have to pull myself together."
