Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Jonah’s Passing

At that moment, Elise felt as if her world was spinning out of control and her face instantly blanched. “What did you say?” She staggered as the four words escaped her lips, but Jamie continued, “Three vehicles collided and it was a total mess at the scene. I heard that Alexander has been rushed to the hospital.”

Elise could feel her hands trembling. “Which hospital? I’ll go there right away.”

Jamie told her the hospital’s address and Elise immediately rushed out of the building. When Cameron, who still had no clue about the incident, noticed Elise’s pale face, he asked, “Miss Sinclair, what’s wrong?”

Elie grabbed his arm and she struggled to squeeze out even a few words. “Angelove Hospital. Take me there now. Something’s happened to Alexander.”

As Cameron was completely clueless about the incident, he was left struck by her words. At that moment, he received a call that instantly caused the color to be drained from his face.

After he hung up the call, he uttered in a hoarse voice, “Miss Sinclair, I’ll take you to the hospital right now.”

Cameron and Elise rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, Elise bumped into Alexander, who was sitting in the hallway with his clothes stained crimson and his face covered with bruises. At that moment, he seemed disheveled and dejected.

“Alexander, are you alright?” Elise stepped forward and asked. At the same time, Cameron questioned, “President Griffith, how are you?”

Alexander raised his eyes and met Elise’s. At that instant, he had a sense of despondency in his eyes, an emotion she found unprecedented on him, which reminded her of something. “Where’s Grandpa? How is he?”

Alexander then opened his mouth and muttered in a dry, hoarse voice, “He is undergoing emergency treatment inside.”

It was merely a few simple words, yet saying them used up all his strength. Upon hearing that, Elise felt that her heart skipped a beat. She raised her eyes and looked at the illuminated sign hanging above the emergency treatment room while inwardly praying for Jonah.

“Don’t worry, President Griffith. Mr. Griffith will be fine,” Cameron murmured, although he himself knew how futile it sounded. Alexander looked up at the ceiling while his mind kept replaying the moments when the accident happened earlier, and the scene when Jonah protected him. At that thought, he felt his eyes redden and tears coursed down his face from the corner of his eyes. He tried to wipe it away with his hands.

“Grandpa will be fine. I’m sure that he will be fine.” Even Alexander was unsure whether he was comforting Elise or himself, but he could at least find some peace in those words.

Just then, the lights above the door to the emergency treatment room were switched off and the doctors exited the room. Alexander and Elise quickly went up to them. “Doctor, how’s my grandfather?” Alexander asked as he gripped on the doctor’s arm.

The doctor removed his mask and sighed. “We’ve tried our best, but the patient’s injury is too serious. He is going to take his last breath, so you may enter the room to bid him farewell.”

Upon hearing that, Elise felt her legs go weak while Alexander rushed into the room.

“Grandpa!” Jonah, who had lost his usual vigor, seemed to be breathing his last few breaths. Upon seeing Alexander, he reached out a trembling hand. “Child, don’t be sad. I’ll be fine…”

Alexander immediately grabbed his hand. “Grandpa, I’m sorry! It was all my fault!”

“Silly child, why are you apologizing? The company is now in your hands. You have to run it properly. I’ll leave the responsibility of leading the Griffith Family to success in your capable hands.”

Alexander looked at Jonah with reddened eyes, but he tried his very best to keep his tears in check. “I understand, Grandpa. Rest assured, I’ll make sure that the Griffith Group thrives.”

His words made Jonah feel much relieved. “I have something I wish to say, and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to say it anymore if I don’t do so now,” Jonah uttered, coughing vigorously as he spoke.

Upon hearing that, Alexander immediately responded, “Grandpa, you can tell me anything. I’ll definitely fulfill your wish.”

Jonah nodded, feeling comforted by his words. “Child, I know that you are good. This is also a decision that I made after much consideration.”

“Tell me; I’ll always bear it in mind.”
