A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 451

Leila did not speak, but her expression remained woeful.

No one spoke again on the way.

They arrived at the hospital.

It was already a few hours later.

Leila sped all the way.

“Slower, Leila, be careful!” Vincent shouted anxiously from behind.

She entered the elevator, all the way to the wards.

Leila heard the sound of crying and froze at the moment, there was a bad feeling in her heart. Was it because of her father?

“Brian… how could you leave me behind?” It was her mother’s frenzied cries.

Leila’s heart was pierced once more, becoming even more erratic.

“Don’t rush, Leila! Don’t run!” Vincent was worried that she would slip, following closely behind her.

But when they reached the ward, they were both dumbstruck.

Mabel was crying at the bedside.

Macey was also in tears.

The face of the person on the sickbed was already fully covered by the sheets.

“Father… father…” Leila’s tears filled her eyes instantly. She screamed in anguish; her saddened tone carried her regrets. “Father…”

“How could this happen?” Vincent was in shock. He was fine a few days ago, how could this happen out of the blue? He had passed away suddenly!

President Lawrence saw Vincent and came to explain, “We have done our best, Mr White. Brian’s body was peculiar, and it wasn’t known how he had been provoked, his already frail body couldn’t handle it at the moment, and it caused multiple minor capillaries to bleed, and he went into a coma! But this isn’t the direct reason for his death, we didn’t expect that when we stopped the bleeding, the veins in his heart were blocked. The consistency of his blood was too high, the bleeding was stopped but the veins were blocked instead. In the end, he died due to a sudden heart failure!”

Vincent nodded, he was already gone. He believed as well that the hospital had undergone a comprehensive treatment, but it was unable to save him.

“Leila…” Vincent went to hug her, but Leila escaped from him and fell before the sickbed.

“Mum… father, he…” Leila bit her lip, her tears falling like large unstrung beads dropping down.

“Leila, your father, he’s gone… gone…” Mabel’s cheeks were also filled with tears, the mother and the daughter hugged each other and cried.

“It was all my fault; how could I have just left? I didn’t even manage to see him for the last time… it’s my fault… my fault!”

“My child…” Mabel cried as well.

Leila cried for a while and leaned against the beside. Kneeling there, her hands trembled as she unveiled the sheets.

Brian was lying there silently, his expression peaceful and his lips were shut tightly. It was rather not obvious about the pain he was in, but Leila’s heart broke. “Father… I’ve been a bad daughter, sorry… sorry…”

She was actually not by his side at the last moment.

Macey was also crying, she cried until her entire face was filled with tears. She sobbed, not having the slightest strength.

Charles embraced Macey from behind. “Don’t cry, Macey!”

Arthur had not expected this to happen as well. When he rushed here after parking his car, he was actually seeing this scene.

After Leila cried, she became even more silent. She was already a quiet person usually, but now she was even lonelier.

Brian’s funeral was three days after, no one had expected him to pass away so soon.

Further, no one expected his grave to be right next to Eric’s. There were two empty graves next to Eric’s grave which had been bought many years before. There was one on each side, Brian was on the left.

During the burial, Director Gordon rushed by. Following Brian’s earlier arrangements, he shifted April’s ashes from another graveyard to be buried together with him.

Until all the relatives and friends have departed, and only Leila, Vincent, Mabel, Macey, Charles, Arthur and Julian had left behind, Director Gordon explained. “The one on the right is mine, the one in the middle is Eric’s. The three of us had made a pact that we would be buried in the same graveyard together after we die! We were once best friends and the closest brothers! They are already gone and I’m the only one left. Julian, when I die, bury me here at the right!”

Julian called out in anguish, sobbing, “Father…”

“All men die, don’t be sad about it! The dead are already gone, so let us be stronger for them to leave peacefully!” Director Gordon then walked to Mabel’s side, “My condolences, Mabel!”

“Thank you!” Mabel had already calmed down.

Due to Brian’s sudden passing, Macey missed her flight, so she would not leave for the time being.

“Thank you all, you should all go back first, I would like to stay here by myself for a while!” Mabel continued.

“Mum!” Leila was quite worried about her.

“I’m fine, Leila. I would like to stay for a while longer with your father and your aunt. You should go back with your sister first!” Mabel patted Leila’s hand, looking calm.
